Imagine the wrecking ball touching this and my nostrils flare a little.
Capitol cinema re-opened circa 1990 after some refurbishment, and there were all these neo-classical plaster reliefs of zodiac signs (Aquarius, etc) around the cinema screen, lit up with spotlights...a little bit kitschy, but looking back...it's a nice memory...a "cinema theatre" experience as opposed to the nondescript "multiplex cinema" experience now.
"Vice expose(d) the flesh is weak"...Great billboard :)
There was a field where the SMRT building now stands, and once around 1990, I saw some angmohs playing LACROSSE on the field!!!!! It was an amazing sight to me, cos (Singapore is such a boring place where nothing happens) and cos I only read about this sport in the Enid Blyton Malory Towers books heh
Some pics I'm uploading to hopefully help Don Wilson out with the scale of these things.
Here's my Warlock in what is quite possibly the dumbest helmet yet sitting where I think the cockpit of this ship was. As you can see these things aren't monstrously huge. They're maybe the same size or a little longer than the F-15, Sukhoi fighters, F-22, etc.
They do seem to be noticeably larger than smaller fighters like the F-35 and F-16.

This is the wrecking bar my father made out of a car spring. Probably in the 1940s or 1950s. It is very useful for trim in houses and as a foot-lever for hanging doors.
Photographed in Carlise Bay Marine Park, Barbados, where there are 6 wrecks...
Berwyn: Carlisle Bay ~ 20ft ~ A 70 ft long World War I French
Tug Boat sunk in 1919 by her own crew. The Berwyn sits between 7 and 10 feet below the surface depending on the tide. As a result of the calm water in the bay and the age of this wreck the Berwyn is covered in marine life including healthy hard and soft coral growth and their associated reef creatures.
Ce-Trek: Carlisle Bay ~ 45ft ~ The Ce-Trek, a derelict boat constructed of cement was sunk in January 1986. This shipwreck sits in deeper water on the northern edge of the park and is home to nice coral, soft coral and sponge growth.
Eillon: Carlisle Bay ~ 55ft ~ This 110ft drug boat was tied up for ~6 years in the Bridgetown careenage before it was sunk on 8th June 1996 in Carlisle Bay Marine Park. The wreck is easily accessqible for penetration and has an air pocket in the bow big enough to a conversation at 25′ under.
Bajan Queen: Carlisle Bay ~ 35ft ~ She was Barbados’ first tugboat named the “Pelican” when the Bridgetown Harbour was being constructed in the 1960’s. A decade later, as more modern tugboats were purchased; the Pelican was then converted to a party boat called “Bajan Queen”. The Bajan Queen holds many memories for thousands of Barbadians and visitors alike. After years of operation as the party spot the Bajan Queen was donated to the Coastal Zone Management Unit. From there with the assistance of our very own Andre Miller the Bajan Queen was cleaned up and sunk on 19th May 2002 in Carlisle Bay Marine Park. She now sits only a few feet below the surface and is accumulating some excellent fish life and good coral diversity.
Cornwallis: Carlisle Bay ~15ft ~ A Canadian freighter sunk by a torpedo from a German U-Boat during World War II. This wreck was relocated from a very high boat traffic region of the bay to this Marine Reserve on 22nd October 2003.
Barge: Carlisle Bay ~ 12ft ~ A Naval Landing Barge found in Carlisle Bay. This wreck is now home to numerous reef fish including the puffer’s bigger cousin the porcupine fish.
This is the wreck of the Norwegian ship Helvetia that was found wrecked upon the Rhossili beach, Gower in the 1880's.
I bought this photo of a streetcar (?) wreck at an antique shop, and somebody tried to buy it off me before I left the store, ha! I suppose it could be a train or a bus.. but I think it is a streetcar.
Yes, this is the correct angle of the photograph.
I don't know anything about where/when this happened, if by any odd chance somebody out there has more information, please let me know. The photo is completely unmarked.
NOTE: The signs in the back don't have any information about the location.. they are a jeweler's advertisement and a "no spitting" sign. I suppose I could try to track it via the ads... I need a stronger magnifier. :(
EDIT 2016:
I MAY have tracked down this accident? Possibly?

Car wrecks in farm fields with good lighting never loose their photo appeal, even to the utmost nature enthusiast, no matter
what country they are in.

Making a very rare appearance in the daylight at Beamish Museum is the wreck of tram Gateshead 52. The remains of the tram arrived at Beamish Museum after a fifty year absence from the North-East in January 2014. It was originally built in 1901 by the Electric Railway & Tramcar Works at Preston (Lancs) for Gateshead & District Tramways.
The un-restored tram was badly damaged in an arson attack at the National Tramway Museum's storage facility at Clay Cross in 1999 and what we have here is all that remains. Undoubtedly a challenging restoration project, but one that I'm sure that Beamish Museum is equal to!
Gateshead 52, originally numbered 7, was amongst one of the originally electric tramcars used by Gateshead & District Tramways to replace the steam trams. It was one of a batch of four wheeled clerestory roofed “California” style single decked trams with open ended compartments (although these were enclose a couple of years later). Unfortunately the tram was extensively damaged in a fatal crash in 1916 and, as a result, was completely rebuilt to it's current form in 1920. Very little of the original was retained, other than the underframe, controllers, motors and the Brill truck. The tram was re-numbered from 7 to 52 in 1938.
It may be some time before this tram is restored to running order, but the job is in the restoration strategy and I for one can't wait to see it running again!
There is much more information on this tram at:-

Wreck Beach is one of the largest clothing-optional beaches in the world. It is part of Pacific Spirit Regional Park, which is in turn part of the University Endowment Lands just west of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The clothing optional section is clearly marked with signs and stretches approximately 6.5 km from Acadia Beach in the north, down to the Booming Grounds Creek on the north arm of the Fraser River.

Arrived back in Edinburgh this afternoon after a great 2 weeks down south. Now the laborious task of wading through all my images and editing the ones I like begins!
Before I start posting some shots from the trip, here's one I took the night I met up with Mark LJ www.flickr.com/photos/mark_lj/ just before I left. After shooting Belhaven Bridge down at Dunbar, we stopped off at Longniddry to shoot the wreck as the tide receded.
