The most conspicuous feature of Flamboyant Gothic style is the dominance in stone window tracery of a flamelike S-shaped curve.

This is the second of a batch of photo features prepared in 2008. Like all features in this series, the narrative (reproduced below) is somewhat dated and may not have been absolutely accurate in the first instance. It is pleasing to report that both of these vehicles survive in Arrivatised Malta. Here's what I wrote at the time
Perhaps the most characteristic Maltese buses were those built on lengthened chassis from former miltary trucks. Chevrolet, Dodge and Ford all provided large numbers of outwardly similar vehicles from their Canadian assembly lines. Dodges proved to be particularly popular on Malta, as both lorries and buses. Only two buses are known to survive in original normal-control form, one Dodge and one Ford. Both are in semi-retirement as licenced PSVs that are rarely used in service. The green and yellow views date from 1983 and 2007 respectively.
In the first pair of pictures we see Y-0661, the current EBY 661. This chassis has commonly been reported as a Willys-Dodge but it is most likely to be a Dodge that incorporates certain Willys parts. The 35-seat body was built by Brincat. This bus was initially registered 2219 (Kalafrana route) and subsequently carried registrations 3036 (unscheduled bus), A-3036, Y-1557 and Y-0857 prior to becoming Y-0661.
In the second pair of pictures we see Y-0636, the current EBY 636. This is a Ford V8 despite the Dodge front, which replaced the original Ford assembly. The 40-seat Gasan body originally had a central entrance. This bus was initially registered 2890 (Sliema route) and subsequently carried registrations A-2890 and Y-1337 prior to becoming Y-0636.

Beal City residents Earl and Elaine Currie talk about their 44 years of marriage Thursday at the Isabella County Commission on Aging, 2200 South Lincoln Road. "The second day after we met, I knew we would get married" Earl said. Staying together for that long takes work. "You have to hang in there and keep working at it" the couple said. Earl is a morning person, while Elaine is not. "He brings me tea in the morning and then leaves me alone" Elaine said with a smile.

Storm Chasing Video from afternoon on Flickr Click Here
Heading East via Hwy 30 Overton Nebraska...
I was aligned perfectly with this outflow storm. Leading edge of this storm cell was now from horizon to horizon. I could see the front of this storm cell about 10 miles due east. So that was my direction.
My view due north was this...
Leading edge of this storm had great photographic definition & I definitely took a few snaps as I was heading due east.

This feature was first published in a slightly different format in a Maltese transport magazine. The text is a little out of date, given recent events in Malta., but this is what I wrote in 2008:
"The small County Durham firm, Armstrongs of Ebchester, contributed four coaches to the Maltese bus fleet. In this feature we focus on ‘twins’ UUP 2/3N, Bedford YRQs with Plaxton Elite II bodies, which were new in 1974. In the main picture from the collection of Dave Herron, we see them together at Ebchester garage in 1977. The pair passed to Lockeys of West Auckland in 1978 and thence with that operator’s business to OK Motor Services in 1982.
They were exported to Malta in 1984. The first picture by Dave Farrier shows UUP 2N in green livery as Y-0607 in 1991. The heavy binds provided some protection against the sun but ventilation was a problem on the ex-UK coaches. The second picture by Stuart Harvey shows the same bus sixteen years later. Ventilation has improved and, like many Elites, it has gained a new front panel and simpler, more contemporary side trim.
The third picture by the author shows UUP 3N in 2007 in its current guise as FBY 016 in the fleet of George Farrugia Coaches of Victoria. It previously operated as Y-0466 on Malta and Y-0921 on Gozo. It retains non-opening side windows and many original Plaxton fittings, with additional Duple Dominant-style chrome trim".

A new feature at the Pierhead. I only saw it today for the first time

Born: 1619
Birthplace: Toxteth Park, Merseyside, England
Died: 3-Jan-1641
Location of death: Toxteth Park, Merseyside, England
Cause of death: unspecified
Gender: Male
Religion: Anglican/Episcopalian

Occupation: Astronomer
Nationality: England
Executive summary: Observed transit of Venus
English astronomer, born in 1619 at Toxteth Park, near Liverpool. His family was poor, and the register of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, testifies to his entry as sizar on the 18th of May 1632. Isolated in his scientific tastes, and painfully straitened in means, he pursued amid innumerable difficulties his purpose of self-education. His university career lasted three years, and on its termination he became a tutor at Toxteth, devoting to astronomical observations his brief intervals of leisure. In 1636 he met with a congenial spirit in William Crabtree, a draper of Broughton, near Manchester; and encouraged by his advice he exchanged the guidance of Philipp von Lansberg, a pretentious but inaccurate Belgian astronomer, for that of Johannes Kepler. He now set himself to the revision of the Rudolphine Tables (published by Kepler in 1627), and in the progress of his task became convinced that a transit of Venus overlooked by Kepler would nevertheless occur on the 24th of November (Old Style) 1639. He was at this time curate of Hoole, near Preston, having recently taken orders in the Church of England, although, according to the received accounts, he had not attained the canonical age. The 24th of November falling on a Sunday, his clerical duties threatened fatally to clash with his astronomical observations; he was, however, released just in time to witness the punctual verification of his forecast, and carefully noted the progress of the phenomenon during half an hour before sunset (3.15 to 3.45). This transit of Venus is remarkable as the first ever observed, that of 1631 predicted by Kepler having been invisible in western Europe. Notwithstanding the rude character of the apparatus at his disposal, Horrocks was enabled by his observation of it to introduce some important corrections into the elements of the planets orbit, and to reduce to its exact value the received estimate of its apparent diameter.
After a year spent at Hoole, he returned to Toxteth, and there, on the eve of a long-promised visit to his friend Crabtree, he died, on the 3rd of January 1641, when only in his twenty-second year. To the inventive activity of the discoverer he had already united the patient skill of the observer and the practical sagacity of the experimentalist. Before he was twenty he had afforded a specimen of his powers by an important contribution to the lunar theory. He first brought the revolutions of our satellite within the domain of Kepler's laws, pointing out that her apparent irregularities could be completely accounted for by supposing her to move in an ellipse with a variable eccentricity and directly rotatory major axis, of which the earth occupied one focus. These precise conditions were afterwards demonstrated by Isaac Newton to follow necessarily from the law of gravitation.
In his speculations as to the physical cause of the celestial motions, his mind, though not wholly emancipated from the tyranny of gratuitous assumptions, was working steadily towards the light. He clearly perceived the significant analogy between terrestrial gravity and the force exerted in the solar system, and by the ingenious device of a circular pendulum illustrated the composite character of the planetary movements. He also reduced the solar parallax to 14" (less than a quarter of Kepler's estimate), corrected the sun's semi-diameter to 15' 45", recommended decimal notation, and was the first to make tidal observations.
Only a remnant of the papers left by Horrocks was preserved by the care of William Crabtree. After his death (which occurred soon after that of his friend) these were purchased by Dr. Worthington, of Cambridge; and from his hands the treatise Venus in sole visa passed into those of Johannes Hevelius, and was published by him in 1662 with his own observations on a transit of Mercury. The remaining fragments were, under the directions of the Royal Society, reduced by Dr. Wallis to a compact form, with the heading Astronomia Kepleriana defensa et promota, and published with numerous extracts from the letters of Horrocks to Crabtree, and a sketch of the author's life, in a volume entitled Jeremiae Horroccii opera posthuma (London, 1672). A memoir of his life by the Rev. Arundell Blount Whatton, prefixed to a translation of the Venus in sole visa, appeared at London in 1859.
University: Emmanuel College, Cambridge University (dropped out in 1635)
