The Sacramento Drowning Accident Rescue Team (DART) utilizes this 1997 Ford F-350 crew cab as the primary boat towing vehicle and for carrying misc. equipment. This is the only vehicle in the fleet that was purchased new by the team.
First trip in service for the new Enviro 200 number 2751, was the 1330 from Newport to East Cowes on September 26th 2016. It has been bought to bolster the existing fleet of 200s when they will once again monopolise the route 1 services from the start of the winter programme on October 2nd.
This darter dragonfly was photographed on Esher Common a couple of years ago. This is the jpeg preview from the raw image, and while the colours are over-cooked I do like the look.
Seen resting in Polperro, a location buses are currently used to having between 34 and 67 minutes of layover, due to a major road closure between Sandplace and Looe, meaning an extra bus is required to operate the PVR of the 73, is Dennis Dart LX05 EYV. This is Ex London General LDP268, is one of the five of the batch which spend a majority of their time based at the outstation at Liskeard for operation on routes 73 and 74, due to the fact they are not fitted with the 'fast fill' fuel nozzle, and hence can be refuelled nightly at Morrison's, without needing to return to Plymouth.
An express courier aircraft.
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.
On Saturdays service 21 has a very decent lay-over at the Royal Infirmary at 12 and 2pm with drivers getting a 15 minute break which of course is a great help to you and me! And I must say how splendid and immaculate Dart 72 looks here. This fleet of buses was new from 2002 but some of them these days look like they've just come off the production line.
Lothian Buses look after their vehicles very carefully and each bus is washed and shampooed, polished and checked every day. A credit to the company as can be seen when travelling in and around the City of Edinburgh.
As a stroke of photographic luck note the reflection on the windscreen of the driver's cab here and observe the crescent of the RI buildings behind where I'm standing.

Ruddy Darters - Canvey Way 'ditch', Canvey Island Essex. 100's on the wing now and many in tandem or CoP.
The crowded moorings and forest of masts form a guard of honour for the Dartmouth Steam Railway's BR Standard Class 4 No. 75014 as it works away from Kingswear at the head of a five-coach mark 1 rake during a Time Line Events photographers charter on 12th March 2017. The variety of residences on the hill overlooking the Dart Estuary certainly add an estates agents perspective to this scene! Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
Two weeks prior to its due date for withdrawal from the 72 this Marshall Capital bodied Dennis Dart failed at Kingsknowe and is seen awaiting recovery.

There is a huge lack of quality fish photos of North american species, even worse so many are miss identified! so trying to ID some has been difficult. It will be an on going thing but I am going to try and catch and photograph as many species as I can.
First up is...
The rainbow darter (Etheostoma caeruleum) is a native North American fish found in small, fast-moving streams and small to medium-sized rivers. It grows to 2 to 3 inches (51 to 76 mm) in length.[1] The species is very sensitive to pollution and silt, staying in clean, pollution-free water. The rainbow darter is easily identified by three dark spots on the back, and blue and orange in the dorsal and anal fins. It is a small perch-like fish found in freshwater streams in North America.
A shot of the first black darter I have seen a rather small and difficult to spot species on the path
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated
Couldn't resist this one! This is the interior of Red Eagle W411UGM, a veteran Dart new to TGM before being absorbed into the Travel London fleet, and I think into the Abellio era.
It was working on Route R2 and I did it from Watford out to the Cassiobury superb, been a few years since I rode a bus with the door permanently open, reminds me of going to school on SNBs in those easier times.
Oh and no prizes for deducing it was formerly dual doored...

The Dart
Scrolling textures pierce my bloodshot eyes like arching darts aimed at red balloons,
my destiny lie elsewhere, someplace crisper.
Counterfeit facade arrayed along my visor, screechin' sermons like a gray buffoon;
yet she is waiting patiently -- nary a whisper
I drift on, daydreams wander,
wondrous words devastatingly aligned, persuade my mind:
she has scribed them down.
Remove this tumultuous tempest from my brim, 'till I find:
green forest, peat and bog around
Hillsides arise, inclining greater than my city ground;
out there, beyond, is peace and true prosperity;
abstract professions found, intermingled sumptuous forces newly unbound,
can be yet achieved, lest I dawdle aged superfluity
shrieking lucid orange annunciation,
time to change your softly dampered brilliance,
unloosen dexterity, sharpening a once minced temperament,
leap-frog wild decorum, rediscover simple eloquence.
The dart has pierced my wading brow,
And now I find,
my world is left behind:
art supplants artificial mind
A vale of darkness reins the lesser season,
far below the south of forest land;
Between thick trees of pine and peaks of white,
A clay brick path wanders through these somber hills
Water of the brook babbles through an olden hamlet
like a brimming broth before a lazy meal
laced with capsicum pepper mixed with cutlet
quaffed with red and white of dry appeal
Unburdened folk carrying caboodle
fish the meadow beyond cathedral way
celebrate sandpiper calling ruff and reeve,
revive the ancient wanton tumultuous ways
Sweet burning desire sings supple sound
against a sage of dissonant musical saws.
Lanes lined with new houses,
carved gables, tiered windows, overhanging roof
A nature park is where I want to be,
this ancient time is land I long to feel,
juxtaposed between my now and future free,
elixir of the woods hence I may heal.

Gardbus Dennis Dart X531UAT now painted green stands in Gervis Place, Bournemouth with a 36 service to Verwood.
The "third" eye you can see is called an Ocelli. The are 2 smaller ones either side above the antenna called lateral Ocelli. Where the main eye's on a Dragonfly are compound eyes (comprising of 30,000 lenses) giving them almost 360' vision, the Ocelli eyes are single lens eyes. Reasearch has shown that these cannot focus on form but are used mainly to aid flight as they are more receptive to light and shade. They are thought to act like an artificial horizon scope in an aircraft and help the dragonfly keep orientated in flight. A dragonfly uses 80% of its brain to process vision.

LHB DART set 8305 rounds the curve on the approach to the newly opened Clongriffin station, north Co.Dublin, with a southbound Malahide-Greystones service, 7th March 2010.
In George IV Bridge Dennis Dart SLF, Plaxton Pointer SPD, number 82 works on Service 42 between Craigleith and Kings Road on Saturdays.
In the distance, the former Bank of Scotland Headquarters, now headquarters of the merged HBOS and this impressive Roman Baroque architecture stands on Edinburgh's Mound looking down over East Princes Street Gardens. The site was bought in 1800 and the HQ building was initiated while Henry Dundas, Viscount Melville (1742 - 1811), was already Governor of the Bank.
Note the fine dome with tempietto lantern - that's the bit on the top that looks like a little Greek temple. There's also a gold figure on top holding two rings - a symbol of the bank's posterity perhaps? Or may be he just wants to play hoopla.
