Ellenvale "Excelsior" LK07CBV - Dennis Dart LWB with East Lancs Mylennium Bodywork (But registered as Optare). The ISB6.7 coupled to an Allison gearbox certainly makes her an interesting drive. She is PSVAR compliant, fit with 39 coach style seats, 37 of which are fitted with 3-point belts, room for a wheelchair on top of this and also capacity for a further 23 standing - this makes her quite the versatile machine meaning she could crop up anywhere demand requires, although the mainstay is intended to be Scholar/Public service S1 into Cockermouth.

As the trade in greebles grew increasingly important to the economy of the galaxy, mini-fig hands were used for more and more purposes, as were other body parts. Arms smuggling became a major problem across the galactic disc. Greebles were grown in vats and then rushed to eagerly waiting MOCers to be used whilst the ABS was still fresh. A specialist courier service grew up around this trade and Dai's Dart was part of this.
Llwyngwril Space Systems were commissioned by the Tarren Trade Authority to design a practical and useful VTOL transport plane. It had to be capable of landing in small spaces to make deliveries of high-value items in built-up cities. Unfortunately the designers' search of the internet turned up plans of the Convair XFY-1 Pogo and so they decided to base their aircraft on this.
The unusual shape of the Dart was also down to the architects at Llwyngwril Space Systems deciding to take a spaceship design and stick a piston engine and propellor on the back. The engine used was the Watt & Pritney Cerberus, notorious for needing a lot of maintenance due to leaky gaskets on its eight cylinder heads.
Some versions of the Dart were equipped with drop tanks to increase their range. The nose cone hinged down as the cargo hatch and could also be opened for rescuers to gain access to cockpit in an emergency. The version illustrated here was flown by Dai Roberts, on the planet of Abergynolwyn VII. It was also equipped with a search light and weather radar to help it fly through the notoriously cloudy mountains of Eryri. Dai's company owned 6 of these aircraft, which were always kept immaculately clean. Dai Roberts was famous for his tidy darts.
Although the Dart met the specification for VTOL in confined spaces, the cockpit was awkward to access and the cargo hatch was even worse. Once again, a ladder was need to climb in and out. 137 years later, an investigation by the Galactic Revenue & Customs revealed that Llwyngwril Ladders Ltd. was a wholly owned subsisduary of Llwyngwril Space Systems.
FOURTH WALL TIME...
The main inspiration for this build has to be Jon Hall and especially his chapter in the Lego Adventure Book. I also liked Nathan DeCastro's Skypirates and other MOCs. Lastly, doing a degree in aeronautical engineering and loving the Dastardly & Muttley cartoons must have played their part too. The background story is better viewed on this model's MOCpages page.
it was a nice afternoon, some sun, a little breezy but nice, went to the ponds and there were lots of dragonflies darting about, more Common Darters and Ruddy Darters appearing now as well as the Broad Bodied Chasers and Four spotted Chasers, also saw Emperors and Southern Hawkers, did get some shots of the Southern Hawker and Ruddy Darters as well as these Male Common Darters, so quite a good afternoons walk
Common Darter. If I had to guess, I'd say female.

Not really, though you'd probably get change from a fiver for one of these cheap East Lancs bodied specimens!

East Lance Myllennium Dart has come to grief near the Brindley Theatre in Runcorn Old Town. Seen with the fire engine in attendance, a couple of minutes earlier when I passed it on the 62 service flames could be seen coming out of the grills and through the rear window, 27 August 2019.
"Oriental Darter" or "Indian Darter" is a water bird of tropical South Asia and Southeast Asia. It has a long and slender neck with a straight, pointed bill and, like the cormorant, it hunts for fish while its body submerged is in water. It spears a fish underwater, bringing it above the surface, tossing and juggling it before swallowing the fish head first.
Location: Thattekad Bird Sanctuary - Kerala, India
We have a few Darters visiting during the warmer periods, obviously there must be fish in the ponds, else they would not be here.
The Australasian darter or Australian darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae) is a species of bird in the darter family, Anhingidae. It is found in Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. It weighs around 2.6 kg and spans 86–94 cm (34–37 in) in length
Dart 30 (DA52ZVM) had the first MCV body built. It probably also had the first MCV body to be scrapped as following an accident on Chester Rd, it had to be re-bodied. It is seen here in the depot on 2 October 2003 shortly after the incident - photo taken with permission. Scanned from a print.
It's yellow. there were some of these and more of the reddish ones that I think are Common Darters. These are the first dragonflies I've ever shot so know very little about them. ID info gratefully received!
The common darter is a dragonfly of the family Libellulidae native to Eurasia. It is one of the most common dragonflies in Europe, occurring in a wide variety of water bodies, though with a preference for breeding in still water such as ponds and lakes. In the south of its range adults are on the wing all year round
Poison dart frog , is the common name of a group of frogs in the family Dendrobatidae which are native to Central and South America. have brightly colored bodies. Although , levels of toxicity vary considerably from one species to the next and from one population to another.

Dart through the light, lighter than gold and colder than love. Slip through the dark to the end of the night. Wake to the glow of the breeze.

Time for a little technical reading now and I've often been intrigued at the history and various types of Dart single deckers in the UK. My driver friend and enthusiast Chris Cuthill is a wizard of knowledge on everything bus-wise and helped me out with this information:
"SLF Dart (Super Low Floor) is a Chassis. Plaxton, later TransBus and Alexander Dennis, along with Alexander (during Plaxton days) Caetano, Wright and East Lancs, built there bodies on the SLF Dart Chassis.
The SPD (Super Pointer Dart) was the bodywork built by Plaxton/Transbus/Alexander Dennis until 2006. Only a handful were built on Volvo B6 Chassis with the rest on the Dart Chassis.
The most common size of Dart to be sold was the MPD (Mini Pointer Dart) built to a length of 8.9m. The Super Pointer Dart was popular with many operators, and built to a length of 11.3m".
So there we have it and just to add that all of Lothian's Darts are Pointers (SPD) at 11.3m. Thanks to Chris for this detail and he'll give us some more chassis talk with the next picture.
