With a PVR of two vehicles Mendip Mule has plenty to choose from with 7 vehicles in the end. UWV607S was new back in 1977 and had its life at opposite ends of the country with Southdown until moving within stagecoach to Scotland. It has been with Dave Hoare 18 years and seems a popular motor.

Montmorecy Falls, named after the Viceroy of New France, is frequently billed as "taller than Niagara". At 276 feet tall this is true... but kind of misses the point that no one goes to Niagara Falls for its height.
The falls are a short distance out of Québec City and make a great little detour to visit.

Back in April 1987 I went on a bus hunting adventure which included a visit to Warrington where I photographed Crosville Bristol VRT / ECW H43/31F DVL406 JMB406T in the Crosville depot.

Privately owned Bristol VR KRU 855W of 1980 vintage visiting the St Helens Museum Lancashire bus running day 15 Oct 2023. Displaying the Wilts & Dorset logo used by that bus company 1986 to 2002. Behind is St Helens Corporation Leyland Titan NDJ 554E.
Not to be confused with Serious Sam: The Last Hope, this is re-release of the original Serious Sam game but with VR support.
It's hard to tell here as the weather was so rubbish (and after the sun had been out less than five minutes earlier!), but this isn't 'Poppy Red'. What other colour would you paint an ex Eastern National Bristol VR than LT red and white? That said, the last PSV user of STW 30W, Hedingham & District, also had it painted in red, so I guess there's a precident.
The picture was taken today just after leaving the paint-shop, with Moorcroft pottery's bottle oven as a back-drop.
The VR is destined for life in a non-PSV role, I believe its to become some kind of mobile class room at a school in the Home Counties.

Another view of the scrapped VR.
Engine bay and driver side panel detail generally reproduced from available photos to give some feel for the real thing.
The weathered banner over the windows was created in CorelDraw and printed on transfer paper with a matt finish for effect.
It's unusual for me to join in with preserved bus events but on 19th July, 2025, I spent the afternoon riding on former Sheffield Corporation Bristol VR East Lancs 271 (OWE 271K), back in its home city for the day. I last came across this bus when I (and it) lived in Hastings back in the nineties and it looks much better now than it did back then. Shame, I can't say the same about myself.

so a the owners of EAP 984V wanted to repaint their VR and came to me for the vinyls and this is the result.
I've always like the Midland Fox livery, one of the best deregulation liveries around, of course this vehicle never carried it and was originally in Southdown NBC green.
Took a lot of research to get the logo and text just right and I think we did a good job of that from the pictures that we had.
Old railroad car at a rail yard. Age is starting to show and I love photoing everything that looks old. This certainly did as an abandoned car.
"VR" stands for Finnish railway company owned by the state of Finland. Name is originated from "Valtionrautatiet" (State railways) from 1922 or from the original name "Suomen Valtion Rautatiet" (Railways of the state of Finland) from 1862.

Is This Photography? (blog)
This is a build that's very close to my heart: may I present to you all the VR-052F Veritech, or more simply, the Cyclone. If you're a Robotech or MOSPEADA fan you'll most instantly recognise this build, it's iconic. As a kid, my dad raised me on Robotech, which in the last few years I've been able to expand on with my discovery of Macross and all of the other titles Carl Macek smooshed together to produce his saga. The basic idea of the Cyclone is to provide REF soldiers with increased survivability through a means of transport and enhanced combat effectiveness. It does this by transforming from a motorbike into a set of armour, granting the wearer extreme abilities via boosters, weapons and targeting systems.

ps: My "personal item" on the plane. I know, I am pushing it...!
Vanochtend werd Plan V 954 overgebracht van de Dijksgracht naar Amersfoort. Het treinstel was in januari juist van Amersfoort naar de Dijksgracht gebracht samen met de 950 en 956, maar hij is nu dus weer terug. Voordat het treinstel op het terrein werd geplaatst, was er nog een andere klus wat moest gebeuren.
Nadat zes Buffels van het tweede spoor waren gerangeerd kon de op de foto te zien zijnde sleep worden aangehaakt. De VIRM kopbak moest uit de loods worden gehaald en is buiten op een spoor geparkeerd. Alle Buffels konden vervolgens weer terug naar hun plek. Als laatste werd ook de 954 binnen het terrein gezet op het tweede spoor. Een verslaggeving van het voormalige wagenwerkplaats terrein: www.spoorpers.nl/wagenwerkplaats_amersfoort.php 21/03/16
Earlier this month we had lunch at Lavande of Callington, with a selection of delicious French style food, built behind the old Police station at Callington. Thank you to Chris for who gave us a guided tour.
This is the front of the old original Police station at Callington.
Note the V R on the archway of the front doorway.
This was built during Queen Victoria's long reign.
I also found the recent sign, left side, amusing/ironic being in front of an old Police station even though not used anymore. Like a subliminal message about crime.
It is now used as private residence.
Rear of Police station below.
From Lavande's website.
The Old Police Station, cells and stables were designed by the Chief Colonial Architect in 1866.
Built from bluestone and sandstone it is considered to be an outstanding example of early Colonial architecture in the Georgian Style and is classified by the National Trust.
