KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Space Shuttle Endeavour is moments away from touch down on runway 33 at the Shuttle Landing Facility, bringing to a close the 13-day, 18-hour, 48-minute, 5.74-million mile STS-113 mission to the International Space Station. In the background is a KSC landmark: the Vehicle Assembly Building. Main gear touchdown was at 2:37:12 p.m. EST, nose gear touchdown was at 2:37:23 p.m., and wheel stop was at 2:38:25 p.m. Poor weather conditions thwarted landing opportunities until a fourth day, the first time in Shuttle program history that a landing has been waved off for three consecutive days. The vehicle carries the STS-113 crew, Commander James Wetherbee, Pilot Paul Lockhart and Mission Specialists Michael Lopez-Alegria and John Herrington, as well as the returning Expedition Five crew, Commander Valeri Korzun, ISS Science Officer Peggy Whitson and Flight Engineer Sergei Treschev. The installation of the P1 truss on the International Space Station was accomplished during the mission.

Our Camera Club enjoyed an outing to Helston Steam Railway. It's a very old line. Cut by Beeching in the 60s! The engineer!
It's lovely to be able to capture a moment that would be difficult to place in time (assuming one didn't have acces to "EXIF" data!). One of the crew of NNR's Standard 4MT "Mogul" (Driver or Fireman? I don't know which) prepares the locomotive for bed at Weybourne Station. The sharp eyed will notice that the train this shot was taken from is hauled by a BR Class 37 Diesel-Electric. Meaning the photo was definately captured post 1962.
Scan of a slide taken in 1996; I cannot recall what this working was. I think, but am a long way from certain that No. 44767 was stabled over night at Clapham Junction and then worked light engine to Victoria to work a steam special.
A brief time line of No. 44767:
1947: Completed on the last day of the LMS, 31 December 1947 at Crewe Works and numbered No. 4767. It was unique amongst the 842-strong class in that it featured outside Stephenson link motion in addition to other experimental features; a double chimney, Timken roller bearings throughout and electric lighting. These modifications were part of a series of experiments by George Ivatt to improve the already excellent William Stanier-designed black five.
1948: No 4767 was renumbered No. 44767 by British Railways after nationalisation.
1953: The double chimney was removed.
1967: Withdrawn in December 1967 after a working life of only 20 years. No. 44767 was privately bought and was stored at Carnforth.
1974: Moved to Thornaby for restoration by North Eastern Locomotive Preservation Group and purchased by Ian Storey.
1975: Restoration work was complete for the 150th anniversary of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in at Shildon, where the former Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, William Whitelaw named No, 44767 after famous railway engineer George Stephenson. The locomotive then saw regular use along the mainline, including services in Scotland. The loco was based on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway before being taken out of service at the end of 2002 for a full overhaul.
I thought that I would devote some of my shoot today to the volunteers that make things work at the Illinois Railway Museum. They took time out of their holidays to make sure that others had a good time. I thank them for their tireless efforts.

With the SAK line being effectively out of use between Charleston Jcn and Alloa the chance to once again photograph trains on the section was too good to miss even with the dismal weather.

10cc is an English art rock band from Salford and Prestwich who achieved their greatest commercial success in the 1970s. The band initially consisted of the four musicians at the postcard — Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley, and Lol Creme.
Three of the founding members of 10cc were childhood friends in the Manchester area. As boys, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme knew each other; Graham Gouldman and Godley attended the same secondary school. Their musical enthusiasm led to playing at the local Jewish Lads' Brigade.Their first recorded collaboration was in 1964, when Gouldman's band The Whirlwinds recorded the Lol Creme composition, Baby Not Like You, as the B-side of their only single. Gouldman and Creme then played in The Mockingbirds, which recorded five singles in 1965–66 without any success. In the emanwhile guitarist Eric Stewart was a member of Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders, a group that hit No.1 with The Game of Love, and scored a number of other mid-1960s hits. In September 1969, Godley & Creme recorded some basic tracks at Strawberry Studios, with Stewart on guitar and Gouldman on bass.
In 1972 Gouldman, Stewart, Godley, and Creme had written and recorded together for some three years, before assuming the name 10cc. Their first single was Donna, a sharp mix of commercial pop and irony with a chorus sung in falsetto. Donna was chosen by BBC Radio 1 disc jockey Tony Blackburn as his Record of the Week, helping to launch it into the Top 30. The song peaked at No. 2 in the UK in October 1972. Rubber Bullets, a catchy satirical take on the Jailhouse Rock concept, became a hit internationally and gave 10cc their first British No.1 single in June 1973. Their LP, Sheet Music (1973) included the songs The Worst Band in the World, The Wall Street Shuffle (no.10, 1974) and Silly Love (no. 24, 1974). Sheet Music became the band's breakthrough album, remaining on the UK charts for six months and paving the way for a US tour in February 1974. 10cc featured two strong songwriting teams, one commercial and one 'artistic', but both teams injected sharp wit into lyrically dextrous and musically varied songs. Stewart and Gouldman were predominantly pop-song-writers, who created most of the band's accessible songs. By way of contrast, Godley and Creme were the predominantly experimental half of 10cc, featuring an Art School sensibility and cinematic inspired writing.
Every member of 10cc was a multi-instrumentalist, singer, writer and producer, and the writing teams frequently switched partners, so that Godley/Gouldman or Creme/Stewart compositions were not uncommon. In 1975, the band signed with Mercury Records for US $1 million. Their album The Original Soundtrack peaked at number four on the UK Albums Chart and reached no.15 in the U.S. The album includes the singles Life Is a Minestrone and I'm Not in Love, the latter of which became the band's most popular song.The album's opening track, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme's Une Nuit A Paris, is an nine-minute, multi-part 'mini-operetta'. Its melody can also be heard in the overture to Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical The Phantom of the Opera. 10cc's next LP, How Dare You! (1976) furnished two more UK Top Ten hits—the witty Art for Art's Sake (no. 5 in January 1976) and I'm Mandy, Fly Me (no.6, April 1976). But by this time the once close personal and working relationships between the four members had begun to fray, and it was the last album with the original line-up. After Godley and Creme left the band in 1976, Gouldman and Stewart were the main creative forces behind 10cc. They worked with drummer Paul Burgess, who had up to that point been their tour backup drummer. Their first album as a three piece band was Deceptive Bends (1977). It reached no. 3 in Britain and no. 31 in the US and also yielded three hit singles, The Things We Do for Love (UK no. 6, US no. 5), Good Morning Judge (UK no. 5, US no. 69) and People in Love (US no. 40). The following album Bloody Tourists (1978) provided the band with their third UK No. 1 single, the reggae-styled Dreadlock Holiday. It was their last hit. Stewart left the band in 1996, and Gouldman continues to lead a touring version of 10cc. Most of the band's albums were recorded at their own Strawberry Studios (North) in Stockport and Strawberry Studios (South) in Dorking, with most of those engineered by Stewart.

My relative Norman Hurford was a London Transport engineer he had a lifelong interest in Trams. He photographed a tram in Gateshead in 1950.
Here 55 years later I photographed a sister of that tram beautifully preserved in Beamish Museum in the North of England.
Norman's photograph can be seen here :

He motioned for me to come over. I thought I was going to get harassed for taking pictures in the subway. I mean, what does it look like... a guy with tons of steel brightly colored yellow. He's gotta yell or do something.
But instead he wanted to talk about photography.
