A surprise sight was the appearance of a former Selkent slash Stagecoach London Optare Versa which is currently on loan from Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire, acting as Gillmoss's driver training vehicle.
25302 began life having been delivered new to East London Bus Group for use from Selkent's Plumstead base for use on 469 in late-2008. Following Stagecoach reacquiring the East London Bus Group from Macquarie Bank in 2010, 37002 as it was known was renumbered to 25302, in-line with the rest of Stagecoach's Optare Versa fleet across the UK.
By 2012, 25302 transferred to Barking before being converted for use as a driver trainer in 2016. By 2017, 25302 had moved over to West Ham and later Romford before moving north to Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire towards 2020.
Optare Versa 25302 (LX58 CHG) heads along Whitechapel, Liverpool on driver training duties.

Struts training! Online! in UK, USA, Canada!
This black lab is enthusiastically leaping after its retriever training toy. Its trainer signaled to retrieve and is about to throw the toy, which you can't see. This went on, over and over, for over thirty-minutes.
The lab could barely wait between throws and easily swam several hundred yards over the course of its training session. I'll bet that it slept like a log when it got home.
I headed down the next section where there are a series of ladders that enable access to the lower part of the falls. Here there's a beautiful pool sorrounded by a tall forest. A great spot that most of the tourists miss and a perfect swimming spot...although I left that for later...
I filled my water bottles here to add weight and hiked back up to the top and when I got there I thought I should do it again. So back down I went. I thought I'd look a little lower down on the falls this time and there I picked up a track I never knew about. A track that is not on any of the topographic maps.
There was a small sign that said 'Hippocrene Falls Track....An historic route which is rough and indistinct...do not proceed unless accompanied by an experienced navigator"...sounds great!...

This reinforced concrete hemisphere is known as the Dome Trainer. Built in 1943, it was one of about 40 built around the country, of which, it is thought, only 6 survive.
It was designed and built as a Ground-to-Air gunnery trainer. Projection equipment inside the Dome displayed film of dive bombers and other aircraft making attacks from various positions within a 180 degree arc. The image was moved around the Dome using a complicated system of cams and mirrors. Films were projected in colour, with full sound, creating a realistic experience for the trainees sitting in the middle at a replicated anti-aircraft gun. On firing at the attacking aircraft the instructor could gauge whether the gunner was on target by viewing the yellow light flashes projected onto the wall of the dome as he pulled the trigger; the gunner himself could not see this because he was observing through a yellow filter.
For its time, it was a very sophisticated training simulator. Trainee gunners, once competent in this would then go to Weybourne or Stiffkey for live firing at target drones towed behind aircraft.
It is believed the Dome was also used as an Air-to-Air gunnery trainer. The films would have been slightly different and the trainee would have been sitting in a mock up of a turret such as that seen on a Wellington bomber. It is possible it was also used for navigational training purposes by projecting star groups onto the walls/ceiling.
In 1961 the Ministry of Defence sold off the Airfield and its sundry buildings, a large part of which, including the Dome was acquired by Bernard Matthews pic. The Dome is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument, probably Norfolk's youngest such monument! It has since been donated to the North Norfolk Historic Buildings Trust (NNHBT). It is the Trust's intention, together with the Friends of Langham Dome (FoLD) to repair and restore this building incorporating its wartime use as a trainer for Anti-Aircraft Gunners. It is hoped that if enough funds can be raised and the Dome renovated, that it will be managed by the Friends and made available to the public and schools, telling not only the story of the Dome but also the important contribution made by Langham, and other East Anglian airfields, to the defence of the country in World War 2.

My latest roll with the trusty AE-1 was the Lomochrome Metropolis film from Lomography. I had no idea what to expect from the muted colors in example shots, but I instantly fell in love with the results. It's different from the otherworldly Lomochrome Purple XR, but quite beautiful and probably retro in the best way I could imagine. Definitely going back to this one.
Taken with Canon AE-1 analog camera. Lomography Lomochrome Metropolis XR 100-400 film.

About the Canon 40d users dont run for the canon 50d..its almost the same camera..wait for the 60D LOL!!!!!!

Take care my friends..!
