N900CL taking off from runway 07 as seen from the spotter’s hill near Feldkirchen. The slide was undated, but N900CL was noted at Riem on 24 July 1978. This airframe had also been seen at Riem as OO-TCP with Pomair on 9 September 1972 and 7 August 1974 (with small „on contract to Sudan Airways“ titles), and it had appeared with Capitol Airways in basic Pomair colours on 23 September 1975.
This early DC-8 was delivered new to Pan Am as N812PA in September 1960 and sold to Pomair in May 1971 (leased to Air France in 1973 and Air Ceylon in 1974). The aircraft went on to Capitol Airways as N900CL in May 1975 (leased to TAE from April 1976 to February 1977). It returned to Capitol in May 1975, but was sold to United Air Leasing Corp. in August 1978 and flew on with Overseas National Airways, Saudia and Rosenbalm Aviation. Wfu at Medford in June 1982 and scrapped. (Sources: planelogger.com, rzjets.net)

New Contract - Tower Transit WV46222 (SM68ESG) on route 228 to Central Middlesex Hospital, Main Entrance at Maida Hill, The Chippenham on 19/01/2019
An anomaly of the breaking up of First London is that the route has moved from one First garage to another but by means of tendering, having been lost by Metroline West's Willesden Junction garage to Tower Transit's Westbourne Park.
WV46222 is seen departing the stand at Maida Hill on the first day of Tower Transit's operation, using brand new and nearly new Wright Streetlites, some made free off route 236 after it had a frequency cut.
From my collection…
If you submitted this shot to one of the photo sites that have screeners, it would most likely be rejected for being “unlevel.” It isn’t, though. The photographer was on Southern Railway’s famous Saluda Grade, just below safety track No. 1. You can see the pole line ascending the steep grade of the runaway track (yes, there was a dispatcher phone box at the end, since some form of communication might be necessary if a train had been directed into the safety track). From the sun angle, this is probably train No. 9, the westbound “Skyline Special.” The motive power is Ts-1 class Mountain-type No. 1462. Just seven cars back, a burly Ss 2-10-2 is pushing. All that horsepower was necessary because Saluda—the steepest normal adhesion mainline railroad grade in the US—averaged about 4.7 percent. At this point, the grade is about 5 percent. This scene was captured on Kodachrome film in August 1947. Unfortunately, the original photographer is unknown.
In December 2001, Norfolk Southern took the line out of service as traffic via the Asheville gateway continue to decline. In a contract signed August 5, 2024, Saluda Grade was sold to the Saluda Grade Trail Conversancy, with plans to convert to a rail trail. The 97-car Belmont unit coal train that originated in Appalachia, Va. came down this grade (loaded) for more than 30 years, using seven SD-type locomotives. Thankfully, the empty train went upgrade.
This 1974 Leyland National 1151/1R has dual-purpose seating, presumably with an eye to attracting private-hire contracts. Please add a comment if you can identify the location.

on a side note: Go buy nexo knights, lets keep this theme alive! it is super awesome
De-regulation of British bus services in the mid 1980s extended the lives of many buses that would have likely been scrapped a few years before. Non PVS use of buses also has the same affect. At life's end, both causations of extended service life are witnessed here.
Former Merseybus AN68 Atlanteans 1546 (OLV546M) & 1527 (GKA527M) were in just excess of 20-years old, so did well.
The former Preston Corporation PD3A No71 (ARN656C) had seen further service with Taylor-Woodrow on works contract services in Lancaster. It then found extended use as a driver training vehicle before it arrived at the breaker's, coming via North's of Sherburn.-in-Elmet.
The AN68s devoid of mechanicals, the PD3 still retains its engine, but it's just a matter of time before all three will meet the cutter's torch.

"Moth - A nocturnal butterfly using the Moon for navigation"
In 2059 a competition was announced by the United Space Initiative to celebrate the upcoming 100 year mark of man's first landing on the moon. The competition was appropriately called "The Race to the Moon". Companies around the world where challenged to build their best "Racer" for a spectacular actual race to the moon, where the winning party would get beneficial property rights and manufacturing contracts on the surface of the Moon. The purpose for this competition was to lift the technology level and speed of the space transports of that era. Many unholy alliances where formed to gather the best scientists, engineers and thinkers. This was to be the starting point of man's colonization of the Moon and beyond.

I've been planning this build since early 2016. Trying designs in LDD. Buying parts. Never quite sure if I would be able to pull it off. From the start I really wanted to build it swooshable and a bonus would be to make it modular as well (being able to detach the fuel tanks from the ship). I think I managed to reach my goals. It's was a struggle to make it sturdy enough. I hade to make the main structure a lot bulkier than I had planned. But all in all. I'm quite pleased with the result. Hope you like it!
Here is a video as well: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVcykzzgkAM

The Sunbeam Tiger is a high-performance V8 version of the British Rootes Group's Sunbeam Alpine roadster, designed in part by American car designer and racing driver Carroll Shelby and produced from 1964 until 1967. Shelby had carried out a similar V8 conversion on the AC Cobra, and hoped to be offered the contract to produce the Tiger at his facility in the United States. Rootes decided instead to contract the assembly work to Jensen at West Bromwich in England, and pay Shelby a royalty on every car produced.

This is one of my original lawn contracts. I've been maintaining this lawn since the mid 90's. We just power raked and top seeded this lawn three weeks ago so it will be a few more weeks until it's in it's best condition. I'll be fertilizing these lawns next week too. No photo editing on these photos either. I'm just really happy with how they are taking shape. 😃
I hope everyone has a great weekend as well.
This series is about discovering the truth so I’m about to hit a new level of honesty with you all. I hope you’re ready because man oh man, I’m not even sure if I am.
You can only run into a wall so many times before there is a break. Most people believe it’s up to chance whether or not it is you who breaks or the wall. I believe I have smashed my head against the same wall for so long that it was when I said “this hurts” that the pain began. It was my choice to believe that. It was my choice to believe in the pain more than the healing. I wanted to sulk and pout. I wanted to dwell in my own self-pity because I blamed the wall for being there…not myself for hitting it. I was exhausted and frustrated. Frustration started around my veins and weaved itself thickly through, making a net with itself. The lies I believed were getting caught in the nets and were clotting themselves. My blood couldn’t run through and slowly my life was failing.
What happened after?
How did I fix it?
I found the courage to sign the contract, dedicating my life to God. I made the choice to go under his knife so he could restore in me a new life. My heart was suddenly pumping with the blood that was once shed for me…all throughout my body. The clots could not stand against the purity, the strength or the mercy. I don’t think I could ever explain the feeling but what I can say is I watched the wall crumble. Yes, I watched it. I did nothing but watch as the power of God broke it down for me.
I’m not here to sugar coat anything and my bluntness has always been something some of you say you admire. So here it is.
The lie: When bad things happen, it’s not of God. God only wants me to be happy.
The truth: In Ecclesiastes 3 it says there is a time for everything, for every purpose under heaven. “A time to weep, a time to laugh. A time to mourn and a time to dance. A time to cast stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing. A time to gain and a time to lose.” Ecclesiastes 3: 4-6
Yeah here’s the deal. The Word is the truth. I believed a lie that God didn’t care about me or that he was angry at me because my life became difficult. I expected him to bless me and love me because I was told “God is love”. Yes, God is love but He is still GOD.
The question to ask yourself is, what lies have you been believing because you haven’t poured yourself into the Word? How can we truly know the truth or the lies that are holding us down if we are just “getting by” as Christians?

Spanish postcard by Raker, no. 1096, 1964. Stella Stevens in The Nutty Professor (Jerry Lewis, 1963).
American comedienne Stella Stevens (1936) starred as a voluptuous platinum blonde with a deep sultry voice in many Hollywood films of the 1960s. During the decade she was one of the most photographed women in the world.
Stella Stevens was born Estelle Caro Eggleston in Yazoo City, Mississippi, in 1936. While attending Memphis State College, Stella became interested in acting and modelling. While performing in a college production of Bus Stop, Stevens was discovered and offered a contract with 20th Century Fox. Her film debut was a bit part in the musical Say One for Me (Frank Tashlin, 1959), but her appearance in Li'l Abner (Melvin Frank, 1959) as Appassionata Von Climax is the one that got her noticed. In 1960, she won the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year. Then her centerfold spread in Playboy was one of the most popular issues. The following years, she co-starred with Bobby Darin in Too Late Blues (John Cassavetes, 1961), Elvis Presley in Girls! Girls! Girls! (Norman Taurog, 1962), Glenn Ford in The Courtship of Eddie's Father (1963), Jerry Lewis in The Nutty Professor (Jerry Lewis, 1963), and Dean Martin in the Matt Helm spy spoof The Silencers (Phil Karlson, 1966). One of her best parts was as Glenn Ford's drum-playing girlfriend in The Courtship of Eddie’s Father (Vincente Minnelli, 1962). On TV, she appeared in the series Surfside 6 (1960), Ben Casey (1961) and the soap opera General Hospital (1963).
By the late 1960s, Stella Stevens' career had leveled off and she was appearing in roles based on her looks. Hal Erickson at AllMovie: "Despite consistently good work, Stevens never achieved the full stardom that she deserved: When she posed again for Playboy in 1968, she admitted that it was purely to get people to attend her films." One of her best performances was opposite Jason Robards in Sam Peckinpah's The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970), where she played Hildy, and showed that her talent was more than physical. In 1972 she starred in Irwin Allen's The Poseidon Adventure with Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Roddy McDowall, and Shelley Winters. Stevens played the role of Linda Rogo, the "refreshingly outspoken" ex-prostitute wife of Borgnine's character. She also starred in Blaxploitation films like Slaughter (Jack Starrett, 1972) with Jim Brown as a black Vietnam Veteran and Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold (Charles Bail, 1975) opposite Tamara Dobson. Notable is also the comedy Nickelodeon (Peter Bogdanovich, 1976), starring Ryan O'Neal. In the 1970s and 1980s, Stella became a fixture in movies made for television and appeared in a number of television series. Her big screen career slowed during that time, but she continued to appear in a number of straight-to-video films. Stevens produced and directed a documentary profiling a variety of women from many walks of life, entitled The American Heroine (1979). She also directed the inexpensive Canadian feature The Ranch (1989). On TV, she appeared in the critically acclaimed miniseries, In Cold Blood (Jonathan Kaplan, 1996), based on Truman Capote's book of the same name. Her television career continued into the 2000s when she appeared in an episode of the sitcom Twenty Good Years (2006). In 1954, the 16-years-old Stella Stevens had married electrician Noble Herman Stephens and the couple had a son, actor Andrew Stevens. They divorced in 1957 but Stella and her son retained a variation of her ex-husband's surname as their own professional surnames.

So, let me start by making posting the story of Valiant:
Valiant, an Ascendant Lord, built like a castle, with high defense, and average mobility,
It is feared by it’s massive strength and usually, 1 hit from him is all that is needed to win.
Its pilot usually goes around with his son, who he is training to be the next pilot of Valiant. The Son, born blind, can only see when attached to the valiant, which makes this story even darker...
Valiant was seen as a threat, so Joker was contracted to eliminate it...which he did, but left the son alive, he does not kill if it is not on contract.
-- Build comment --
So, I got some new pieces, and I wanted to rebuild Valiant, but I got this idea of making a dynamic plot series, and this gave me the chance.
BTW, I did update the Joker’s design, Let me know if you want new photos of it.
Hope you like it.

A subsea rock installation (SRI) aka pipe burying vessel / Oil Service / Pipe Layer.
Dutch owned by Royal Boskalis, with Cypriot registry.
The 'Windpiper' is a subsea rock installation vessel designed to operate on and around offshore structures. Its role is to combine large transport capacity with precise execution on the seabed, a central requirement in this type of operation.
The vessel was originally ordered as a specialized deep-sea mining vessel to be named the 'Mac Goliath' but later changed to 'Nautilus New Era'.
In December 2017, the contracting purchaser failed to pay the third construction installment of approximately US$18 million plus interest to the Fujian Mawei shipyard.
The shipbuilder officially canceled the contract in July 2018.
Following its acquisition by Royal Boskalis, the massive 227-meter-long hull underwent a full conversion in the Netherlands. It will be transformed into the world's largest subsea rock installation (SRI) vessel
