This particular aircraft was built by Hispano Aviacion in Saville in 1959. This aircraft was one of 27 purchased at auction from the Spanish Air Force by Spitfire Productions for use in the making of the 1968 film “Battle of Britain”. After filming this aircraft was acquired by Wilson C Edwards and shipped to the U.S.A. She was acquired by the Old Flying Machine Company and arrived back in the U.K in 1996. After being sold on to The Real Aircraft Company who initiated a full rebuild to airworthy condition she was acquired by Spitfire Ltd in 2006. This aircraft is now owned by Historic Flying Ltd and flown in the movie ‘Valkyrie’ starring Tom Cruise.
Ten years ago, the 2012 Olympic Games took place in Stratford in the East End of London. This week, to remember that great occasion I'm posting a number of photos taken over the course of the two weeks. Some are improved versions of shots already posted, but the majority are new images I've not previously shared with the public.
The Basketball Arena had 12,000 seats for Olympic basketball and the semi-finals and finals of the Olympic handball, and 10,000 for Paralympic wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby. Earlier, the arena had also used as a holding area for athletes during the Opening Ceremony. Concept designs by Wilkinson Eyre Architects were agreed in June 2008 and a planning application was submitted that November.
It was a temporary venue, and the largest built for any Games. The possibility of subsequently deconstructing the arena and transporting it to Rio de Janeiro for the 2016 Summer Olympics was discussed, though the plan was shelved due to doubts from some Brazilian officials about its feasibility.
Paisley-based Barr Construction began building the main arena in spring 2010, completing it in 15 months in June 2011. After the Stadium, I think it is the most iconic building on the Olympic Park.
The water you see in the distance is not normally there. It is a lake that formed in the Malanja Depression on the slopes of the Ngorongoro Crater due to all the rain in the weeks prior to our arrival. While watching the activities in the Maasai boma (which is off the right edge of the image), an Augur Buzzard (Buteo augur) landed in a tree near our vehicle.
There are a lot more of these than one would wish. These markers are meant to be temporary until a permanent monument can be placed, but for some the headstone never comes and the paper tag rots away.
Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

Czarna Białostoka forestry railway preservation scheme.
The preservation scheme did get over the road, and into the forest, later in 2005, but the future is now very much in doubt, with no services in recent years. (Last operation: 2009).
Some of my favorite re-ment pieces on the tv stand I made. The TV stand is a replica of the same one we're using at home. ^__^
This was our only campsite memorial day weekend. It was too rainy to continue our second and third days..
The handwritten (very nicely, I must say) version of the temporary notice warning that the Piccadilly line platforms at King's Cross station were closed over Easter.
The crane operator is out of the cab talking to one worker while another worker is up making adjustments on the crane mounted drill unit.

From 27 March 2021 the travel restrictions in Wales were lifted allowing freedom to travel anywhere within the country, but not across the border, so I decided I had to take the one last chance to photograph sights like this:
Background - The Llangennech derailment last August caused the temporary closure of the Swansea District Line (SDL) meaning that all freight had to take the more difficult route through Swansea, difficult because of Cockett bank with gradients of 1 in 52 westbound and 1 in 53/50 eastbound. Many freight trains required double-heading or banking, those that served Trostre steel works at Llanelli had a further problem, there was much to-ing and fro-ing to get in and out of the works yard, the time taken (if a single locomotive was used) would hold up other service trains, therefore, topping and tailing of Trostre trains was used. The SDL was reopened a short while ago, but DB complained that adhesion was so poor that a number of their locomotives had 'flats', the diversionary route was reverted to for this operator. At the time I wrote this caption (28 March 2021) it was believed that DB would restart using the SDL from Monday 29 March, but looking at RTT a couple of days later, the diverted services are still working on this route.
The picture above was taken at Gowerton on 27 March 2021 and shows 66199 leading the 12.55 Margam to Trostre coil train, at the rear is fellow 'Shed' number 66054.

20200319_5781_7D2-70 What is Temporary?
This sign in the red zone part of Bexley may be from a temporary speed restriction (30kmh?) put in place after the February 22nd 2011 earthquake, but for the last six or so years the roads are permanently closed to vehicles. Cyclists and pedestrians can access the areas though.
But, whatever the reason for the temporary restriction has gone.
