13/10/2004, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Islas Canarias, Spain.
This low resolution image shows the ravaged hull and accommodation of this Romanian vessel after being, somewhat remarkably, salvaged from a near total loss situation.
The vessel arrived and sailed under tow from Las Palmas.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On 30 March 2002 the vessel's port side, engine room cooling seawater inlet valve failed and the engine room flooded.
The vessel was deliberately run aground and partly capsized off Paramribo, Suriname.
The condition of the hull shows the effects of the grounding, while the hull and accommodation also shows heavy bunker oil accretion.
Rather surprisingly, the vessel was refloated/salvaged by April 14 2002 and then the long task of cleaning and renovation of the accommodation, and engine room/ auxiliaries commenced at Paramribo.
Somehow the crew managed to get the 22 year old ship's engine room pumped out and partly cleaned.
After renaming to 'Arahanga II' with North Korean Registry, the ship finally crossed the Atlantic in 2004 and arrived at Las Palmas for stores - perhaps the ship and tug crews were allowed some much needed R&R too.
The ship eventually sailed, I believe, for evaluation in Romania.
Clearly, beyond redemption, the vessel appears never to have traded again and was demolished in India in February 2005.

Bournemouth .With seven miles of golden sands and sparkling sea, the vibrant cosmopolitan town of Bournemouth has it all - a vast variety of shops, restaurants and holiday accommodation, buzzing nightlife and endless countryside with beautiful award winning gardens and water sports galore. Bournemouth is a large coastal resort town in the ceremonial county of Dorset, England. According to the mid-year estimates for 2010 from the Office for National Statistics the town has a population of 168,100, making it the largest settlement in Dorset. It is also the largest settlement between Southampton and Plymouth. With Poole and Christchurch, Bournemouth forms the South East Dorset conurbation, which has a total population of about 400,000.
Founded in 1810 by Lewis Tregonwell, Bournemouth's growth accelerated with the arrival of the railway, becoming a recognised town in 1870. Historically part of Hampshire, it joined Dorset with the reorganisation of local government in 1974. Since 1997 the town has been administered by a unitary authority, meaning that it has autonomy from Dorset County Council. The local authority is Bournemouth Borough Council. Bournemouth's location on the south coast of England has made it a popular destination for tourists. The town is a regional centre of business, home of the Bournemouth International Centre and financial companies that include Liverpool Victoria and PruHealth.
Although Bournemouth is on the coast, the centre of the town lies inland - the commercial and civil heart of the town being the Square. From the Square the Upper and Lower Pleasure Gardens descend to the seafront and the pier. Areas within Bournemouth include Bear Cross, Boscombe, Kinson, Pokesdown, Westbourne and Winton. Traditionally a large retirement town, Bournemouth (mostly the Northbourne, Southbourne and Tuckton areas of Bournemouth together with the Wallisdown, and Talbot Village areas of Poole) has seen massive growth in recent years, especially through the growth of students attending Bournemouth University and the large number of language schools teaching English as a foreign language.
Bournemouth is located directly to the east of the Jurassic Coast, a 95-mile ( 153 km ) section of beautiful and largely un spoilt coastline recently designated a World Heritage Site. Apart from the beauty of much of the coastline, the Jurassic Coast provides a complete geological record of the Jurassic period and a rich fossil record. Bournemouth sea front overlooks Poole Bay and the Isle of Wight. Bournemouth also has seven miles ( 11 km ) of sandy beaches that run from Hengistbury Head in the east to Sandbanks, in Poole, in the west.
Because of the coastal processes that operate in Poole Bay, the area is often used for surfing. An artificial reef was expected to be installed at Boscombe, in Bournemouth, by October 2008, using large sand-filled geotextile bags. However, this deadline was not met, and the construction was actually finished at the end of October 2009. The Boscombe Reef was constructed as part of the larger Boscombe Spa Village development. Bournemouth also has several chines ( e.g., Alum Chine ) that lead down to the beaches and form a very attractive feature of the area.
The Dorset and Hampshire region surrounding Bournemouth has been the site of human settlement for thousands of years. However, in 1800 the Bournemouth area was largely a remote and barren heathland. No one lived at the mouth of the Bourne River and the only regular visitors were a few fishermen, turf cutters and gangs of smugglers until the 16th century. During the Tudor period the area was used as a hunting estate, Stourfield Chase, but by the late 18th century only a few small parts of it were maintained, including several fields around the Bourne Stream and a cottage known as Decoy Pond House, which stood near where the Square is today.
With the exception of the estate, until 1802 most of the Bournemouth area was common land. The Christchurch Inclosures Act 1802 and the Inclosure Commissioners' Award of 1805 transferred hundreds of acres into private ownership for the first time. In 1809, the Tapps Arms public house appeared on the heath. A few years later, in 1812, the first residents, retired army officer Lewis Tregonwell and his wife, moved into their new home built on land he had purchased from Sir George Ivison Tapps. Tregonwell began developing his land for holiday letting by building a series of sea villas. In association with Tapps, he planted hundreds of pine trees, providing a sheltered walk to the beach ( later to become known as the ~ Invalids walk ). The town would ultimately grow up around its scattered pines. In 1832 when Tregonwell died, Bournemouth had grown into small community with a scattering of houses, villas and cottages.
Bournemouth Air Festival the place to be for this summer destination is considered to be the UK’s best aviation entertainment. Bournemouth will again be hosting incredible air displays, on the ground action and evening entertainment at the 10th Bournemouth Air Festival! Taking place from 31st August until the 3rd September 2017. Setting Bournemouth aside from other air shows, when the sun goes down, Nightly Air entertainment will light up the skies of the UK’s leading coastal holiday resort with pyrotechnic night flying, street entertainment, great live music and military performances. It is a free to attend event, the Bournemouth Air Festival is so much more than an air show!
Lindeman Island is an island in the Lindeman Group of the Whitsunday Islands off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The island was named by Captain Bedwell after his sub-lieutenant, George Sidney Lindeman whilst aboard the Royal Navy vessel HMS Virago.
Most of the island is included in the Lindeman Islands National Park which also protects another 13 islands. There is also a resort and an airport on the island. Lindeman Island was created after a volcanic mountain range was drowned by rising sea levels.
The island was occupied by Aboriginal tribes, known generally as the Ngaro, until circa 1900, who used the area for fishing. It is unknown if they lived on the island permanently. An incident occurred on nearby Shaw Island between the local tribe and some Europeans in late August 1861. One aboriginal was shot dead and Henry Irving, a squatter from Broadsound, and Nicholas Millar, a sailor from Rockhampton, were bludgeoned to death. The Native Police officer at the logging camp of Eugene Fitzalan on Whitsunday Island was notified. A large punitive mission afterwards set out in two schooners under Lieut. Williams. They destroyed the native camp and burnt or impounded all the canoes found. The aboriginals themselves apparently escaped into the mountainous terrain. They resisted later attempts to be relocated to the mainland. In 1905 Captain James Adderton took out a sheep grazing lease over the island and established facilities for shearing. In 1923 Angus Nicholson began a small lodge for visitors, although he did not build permanent accommodation until 1929. The Nicholsons had local Ngaro people working for them on the island. Goats roamed wild and visitors were requested to shoot only for food.
Before the end of WW2, Reg Ansett of Ansett Australia saw the potential of the area and began planning for air services. Starting in 1952 Barrier Reef Airways began flying boat services to a number of islands including Lindeman. Ansett opened Proserpine or Whitsunday Coast Airport in 1957 to allow transfers to smaller island aircraft. The resort was sold to P&O shipping in 1974, who then sold the resort to Club Med in 1992.

A revisit in March 2020 to this site. The site has now been cleared of trees and vegetation, returning it close to the state it would have been when operational. Due to the large amounts of asbestos, the buildings are being slowly dismantled, with the corrugated asbestos sheet being carefully removed from the roofs. The purpose of this visit was to capture the scale of the site, and record construction methods and materials as best as I could.
Locally known as the USAAF hospital, Ullenwood near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire was the site of the 110th General Hospital of the US Army Medical Corps in late 1944. Little other information is available.
A description of the camp exists - "The hospital buildings were of a uniform plan and setup and constructed of hollow tile, roofed with asbestos cement sheets. Adequate space was available for all wards, clinics, and laboratories. The quarters reserved for Officers, Nurses, and the Detachment were all of plaster board covered with tar paper and had asbestos cement roofs."
What remains today is a jumble of contemporary WW2 buildings, largely prefabricated concrete struts with asbestos roofs and clockwork walls that have been used for decades as household storage and small business units. The most interesting and medical related structure to remain is the covered corridor in the centre of the site that would have linked hospital wards.

The rather cramped upper deck accommodation of 1940 Bristol K 5G chassis with Brislington Bodyworks Works body and Gardener 5LW 7.0 litre 5-cylinder diesel engine (hence 5G in the designation), Registration No.GHT154, at the Bristol Bus Show, Brislington, 27 July 2025. The Brislington Bodyworks were a subsidiary company of Bristol Commercial Vehicles.
The bus is in the lovely blue livery of the Bristol Tramways & Carriage Co. (Fleet No.992) who received 271 K’s to replace Bristol’s trams. It was withdrawn in 1953 and sold to a travelling showman who used it until 1972 and it was bought for preservation the following year.
The Bristol K classes were produced in 1936-57 and the subject of many variations and developments. The K’s were the first Bristol double deck bus type to use only diesel engines – Bristol 6-cylinder engines (code 6B), Gardner 4, 5 or 6-cylinder (G4, G5 or G6) or AEC 6-cylinder (A6). The types were:
K - introduced 1936, 26’x7’6”, 2,774 built.
KW – introduced 1947, 26’x8’, wide version of K, 20 built. Although the Construction and Use Regulations allowed only 7’6” wide buses, it was possible to build wider buses for a specific operator if they got special permission from the local licensing authority, which presumably accounts for this small batch of KW’s.
Revised Construction and Use Regulations in 1950 allowed longer (27’6”) and wider (8’) buses, hence:
KL – proposed 30’x8’ long version never produced as regulations did not allow such long buses at the time and no operator sought special permission from their local licensing authority.
KS – built 1950-57; 27’6” x 7’6”, short version of KL but had narrow body for restricted routes, 236 built.
KSW – built 1950-57; 27’6” x 8’, wide version of KS, 1,116 built.
