Found this old thing at a friends family farm, how good would this be as a child photography prop? I can just see a cute kid sitting in in now. Shame my kids were not with me on the trip down there.

Another shot of the pair of USAF Convair F-106A Delta Darts from the 119th FS New Jersey Air National Guard making a gear-down fly-by at the McGuire AFB Open House on the 16th August 1987.
These two were 57-0240 with 59-0034. Sister ship 59-0049 was parked in the static arena that day. (see below)
One of the 'Century' series of fighters, F-106's were used by the USAF as part of NORAD as interceptors, eventually passing to the Air Guard units before eventual retirement to AMARC or more likely converted as unmanned QF-106 aerial drone targets ending their days in a flash and a bang!

so Warm today, had a lovely walk this morning, spotted quite a few spiders and still Common Darter Dragonflies about too
Network Buses has a fleet of ten Dennis Dart MPD's, widely used on narrow roads to villages in the hills around the operating area.
This is one of five acquired last year and put to work utilising the 'red rocket' branding it arrived in. Its four sisters likewise retain their 'rocket' branding.
Its spotted parked (at the wrong stop) across from the bus station in the village, presumably waiting to take up its next duty.
It was a hot day at a pond on the Ohlsdorf cemetary, almost no dragonflies in sight and I was about to leave when this ruddy darter (Sympetrum sanguineum, Blutrote Heidelibelle) crossed my path.
Black darter...Sympetrum danae. immature male. Crowle Moor Nature Reserve, Lincolnshire, England. This specimen seems to have a little dent on one of its lower abdominal segments, never observed this in a Dragonfly before, possible brief encounter with a birds bill?

Wright HandyBus-bodied Dennis Dart no. K862PCN is seen as Wear Buses fleet no. 8062 at Sunderland Park Lane bus station in 1995.
By this date, it was in this simplified form of the Wear Buses livery (the mini-bus behind is still in the original style).
New in 1992, K862PCN was later with the Bath Bus Company.
DART 8140 arrives into the recently opened Grand Canal Dock Station, with the impressive Aviva Stadium in the rear of the photo.
What a revelation this electric sets were when introduced on Dublin's commuter belt, replacing clapped out diesel carraiges.
8140 is one of the original 8100 class, built by GEC and Linke-Hofmann-Busch & later upgraded by Siemens.
Amongst the large gum trees on one of our local creeks the Darters appear to have bred well this season. From one vantage point I counted 4 nests. This being the closest and most visible. Here Mum is having a rest in the light rain whilst the chicks look on....patiently awaiting some activity that may signal a feed.
Darter "Anhinga melanogaster."
Also known as.....Diver, Needle-beak Shag or Snake bird.
The Darter is a fishing bird related to cormorants with a stiletto like bill and snake like neck. They swim underwater and often impale small fish etc with a sudden thrust forward of their neck and open bill.
On the surface, Darters swim with their body submerged and only their neck and head visible, hence the name "snake-bird."
Common Darter - Kendal Park, Hullbridge, Essex. Hopefully making use of the new pond for future generations!
Male Common Darter resting on a gurse bush. Not an ideal day for macros because of the breezy conditions but captured this dragonfly in a sheltered spot.

I think this is a male Black Darter dragonfly (Sympetrum danae) resting on warm stones.
