Taylor Swift is sure to remember the occasion all too well. This week, the academy of motion picture arts and sciences revealed a glimpse of their upcoming academy awards. They’ve narrowed down an impressive list of hopefuls to make their 2023 shortlist, with March already on their calendars as the long-awaited night for Hollywood to honor its greatest talent.

These are presumably the original version of the Saratoga Mk II. These were bought in a charity shop. They appear to be of a lower quality than the later version, which has a much more solid feel. The right eyepiece needed re-seating and there is a screw missing from the right prism cover plate, but generally they are in fair condition. The eyepieces screw in and out to accommodate spectacle wearers. Around the right objective housing is the inscription: "Trilar 8 X RLE 37.5"

Airborne forces show Swift Response
British airborne forces are training alongside NATO counterparts to develop their ability to work together to deliver a Swift Response to international crises.
16 Air Assault Brigade is on Exercise Swift Response, which brings together more than 5,000 personnel from 10 nations and takes place in Poland and Germany between May 27-June 26, 2016.
Under the command of Headquarters 16 Air Assault Brigade some 2,000 troops are taking part, the largest British contingent to deploy on a NATO exercise in 2016. The joint force includes 3 PARA Battlegroup, including engineer, artillery, logistics, signals, medical, provost and ISTAR support; Apache attack helicopters from 4 Regiment Army Air Corps; and RAF Chinook and Puma support helicopters and C-130 Hercules transport aircraft.
The training involves mass parachute jumps and air assault operations as part of a simulated mission to restore stability to a troubled region. It is key to developing interoperability with 82nd Airborne Division and 11e Brigade Parachutists, the Brigade’s key partners in the US and French armies respectively, as well as wider allies.

"Chimney Swifts spend their lives airborne, except when they are roosting or on the nest. They perform aerial courtship displays within 2 weeks of arriving on their North American breeding grounds, forming monogamous pairs for the season. In one of the best known displays, two birds fly close together, calling; first the rear bird and then the leader snaps its wings into a V-shape and the two glide together in a downward curve. Unmated birds roost together in large flocks, sometimes even in a chimney occupied by a nesting pair. Often an unmated helper may assist a breeding pair with rearing the young. After the young fledge, small groups of parents and young from several chimneys join larger staging flocks in bigger chimneys nearby. At the end of summer they gather into large groups to migrate to South America. During migration, as many as 10,000 swifts may circle in a tornado-like flock at dusk and funnel into a roosting chimney to spend the night. The lives of these widespread urban birds are surprisingly unstudied, because of their inaccessible nesting and roosting sites and their aerial lifestyle." Cornell
Sorry about the poor quality of the picture, but it was amongst the first I took when new to bus photography.
Also new to me at the time was the AEC Swift and Stonier's SWT 704F provided the introduction which would have me hooked on the type to the present day. By comparison with more pedestrian PSVs of the era, SWT was a flying machine. Early in it's days with Stoniers it was unfortunate in being involved in a couple of accidents, both of which wiped out the centre front panel below the windscreen. On the second occasion it lost it's AEC badge which rendered it rather plain looking. This picture was taken on Town Hall bank, Kidsgrove with driver Jim Barber at the helm departing with a trip on Stonier's version of The Potteries main line to Hanley and Meir. Stonier's route between the latter two points differed from that of larger rival PMT, in that it ran via Bentilee and Weston Coyney to Meir Square rather than via Stoke and Longton.
The Swift gave very good service, not impecable, but very good never the less. It's demise came when cooked and a swolen piston dragged a liner down. Further Swifts went on to join the Stonier's fleet and that of parent company Berresfords where they also served reliably and economically.
SWT 704F had been new to Wakfield area independent W.R & P Bingley who traded as United Services. Bodywork was by Willowbrook, although at the time the plant was known as 'Duple Midland', the bus carrying a small Duple badge over the inside of the entrance doors.
"Berresfordsmotors" and I spent so long riding on this bus that we can still recall the graffiti daubed on the seat forward of the rear bench... I wonder where Andrea Atkinson is now!?
