Short transcription of the comment of the pilot (2 hours before landing): ladies and gentlemen .. you are not going to like this, but a couple of hours ago we already have set course to return back to Schiphol Airport because of an engine failure in 1 of the 4 engines. We turned off the engine and did not want to take the risk to continue flying to Bangkok in this kind of state.
Anyway I thought it would be nice to take a picture of this flight path, we almost reached half way to BKK! Tonight I will have another try to get there!

The San Francisco Fire Department lost two of its members from Engine Company 26, who were both critically injured during an explosion while bravely fighting a house fire in the Diamond Heights neighborhood on June 2, 2011. Both died at the hospital as a result of their injuries after all rescussitative measures were taken by the Emergency Trauma staff at San Francisco General Hospital.
Days later firefighters from around California and around the country gathered to pay their respects during a funeral service. In this sequence we see some of the equipment from the East Bay Area.

I found four units from the Lake Valley Fire Projection District (LAV) parked at Meek's Lumber and Hardware in Meyers this morning as we left the Lake Tahoe basin for home. The units included Brush 7, Medic 7, Chief 701 and an unmarked engine. I'm certain they were there for Meek's Kid's Day.
The Launch 22v is the perfect combination of size, refinement and performance. This 22.5-foot wakeboard boat welcomes a crew of 15 with room for gear and an interior geared toward luxurious accommodation. Completely redesigned for 2012, the 22V interior brings together intricate sections of multi-textured Syntec Nanoblock vinyls with the durability of exclusive Gore Tenara thread. Triple density foam construction makes the Launch interior as comfortable as it is eye-catching. Supra has made the high-traffic path from the lounge to the swim step worry-free with a newly tooled rear seat step and transom walk-over covered in SeaDeck no-slip padding. The wakes are pro caliber and controllable with cockpit switch or the VISION dash, but the 22V is as much about the drive as it is the ride. Slicing through rough water with flat precise turns, the 22V is exhilarating to drive. The high and slow speed maneuvers are almost as impressive as you will look pulling them off. Available with a walk-through bow as a Sunsport or with the Launch playpen, the 22V captures your water sports boating lifestyle.

Engine 222 of Consolidated Fire District 2 in Johnson County on scene of a medical call on Buena Vista Drive in Roeland Park, Kansas. I shot this using the HDR (High-Dynamic-Range) method. 4-30-2015.
The very earliest CB750′s that were produced were this sandcast version: the crankcase was created using a sand mold. After engine number E1007415 the engines were die cast instead. Couple this with the fact that the early chains were to weak for the engine which caused them to shatter the crankcase and you have very few of these about 7000 bikes produced left in existence with their original sandcast crankcase. This is one of them.
Mark Haycock wrote in his book about the CB750: “This is properly identified as the CB750. Not K0 or K1, just CB750. This fact seems to cause a lot of confusion throughout the world. Perhaps it would be wise to use the title ‘pre-K1 CB750′”, so we’ve chosen to do just that. K0 was coined in retrospect and not an official designation.

Engine 22 from the Charlotte NC Fire Department. Engine 22 is a 2022 Spartan Metro Star EMFD / Smeal (2000/500/30F).
BARTON INGS PIPE & TILEWORKS presented by Charlie Stewart. Found on the banks of the Humber this is a loose representation of the last surviving claypit railway in Britain, until its closure around 1999/2000. The length of the line was less than 0.5km. A simple construction of wooden baseboard, plywood buildings covered in plaster. The scale/gauge combination is Gn15 (G scale scenery/stock on 00 gauge track) A plethora of mud/rust and general grime was then added to so capture the “dirty” atmosphere of this site.
On this shot I've hacked off the long 88 pin connector that went to the autobox EGS. Since taking this I've also trimmed back all the wires I pulled through and removed the second X20 round connector that goes through to the body as there were only auto related pins on that.
I only needed to splice two wires inside the plastic cable management tray to keep the engine DEM happy that the auto box is now gone (that's the theory anyway)
1957 Leyland Routemaster prototype bus – RML3
RML3 is one of four prototype Routemasters built and tested between 1954-1958 before full-scale production began. It was taken into stock in July 1957 and entered service in January 1958, allocated to Willesden garage for use on route 8 into and across central London. One of the two prototypes to have a Leyland engine, it became the only Routemaster to have a body built by Weymann of Weybridge/Addlestone in Surrey at their now long-gone factory just up the road from today’s Museum.
In January 1959 it was involved in a severe collision in the Edgware Road and suffered extensive frontal panel damage. After repair in London Transport’s experimental workshop at Chiswick Works, it was returned to service until November 1959 when its service career ended after only 18 months. It then became a driver-training vehicle in preparation for the introduction of production Routemasters to replace London’s electric trolleybus fleet. In 1961, the bus was re-classified as ‘RM3′ to allow the ‘RML’ designation to be used for the new longer Routemasters.
After 1963, the vehicle became disused and saw parts removed to keep its fellow Leyland prototype (the Green Line version) roadworthy. In 1965, however, the bus was repaired and overhauled, losing its distinctive and unique design of bonnet, grille and nearside mudguard in the process and receiving a standard production version instead. In this form, it returned to training duties until April 1972. After a period of storage, it was acquired by the then Cobham Bus Museum in 1974, thus becoming the very first Routemaster to be privately preserved.
