I work in a small motorcycle workshop. So that it doesn't get boring, we organize an event from time to time. Every year there is the "Chopper Day". Except for the last 2 years, you know why. But hopefully it will be that time again in 2023. I love my job!
20302 gains the East Coast main line at Joan Croft Junction and is opened up to get 3S15 Hull to York up to speed. We'd had a great day chasing the 20's on the RHTT workings and this bonus shot rounded things off nicely.
This is something I don't often see- a Naval helicopter flying over the beach! Also, I don't often capture a good shot of one! This isn't wonderful, but I was pleased that I could see most of the detail, and even read "Navy" on the side!

Thanks very much for visiting and comments especially.
Captain Cook discovered a safe haven at what he called Dusky Bay and had his astronomer carefully determine its location by the stars so other ships could find it. Only problem, apart from sandflies, is that in 250 years no one has ever built a road to it. In this photo you can see the terrain inland from Dusky. We travelled 6 days by boat to get in but "as the crow flies" after 30-40 minutes we were back at civilization.

I love classic Indian motorcycles.
The engine is based loosely ( very ) on an 1930s indian chief with its 'suicide' stick shifter.
The frigid waters of Pengo Bay, overlooked by the looming glacial cliffs of Aptenodytes, are the frequent site of shipwrecks and marooned seafarers. Emergency water rescue duties are handled by the civillian RockHopper Rescue Chopper.
The helicopter features dual wide-opening doors, a winch system with a rescue basket, a spotlight for locating lost arctic researchers (among others), a two-man (or penguin) flight cockpit, and a main cabin with room for four crewmen (or women) and an occupied gurney.
Built in support of General Frost of the Penguin Empire for DA4.
