This is my 1st part of my entry to the Global Challenge 3 at LCC.
Paul von Brickenstein is preparing his fleet to beat the wizards. The Magic Islands are far away so they probably need a lot of food and rum. And some weapons would be also helpful. But what will happen at the Magic Islands ? Are weapons out of steel and wood powerful enough to beat these mighty wizards ?
After 25 years at its present location, Aldershot Bus Station will close for good at the end of this week. To mark this occasion, the opportunity was taken today (03/05/2023) to recreate a scene that would have occurred around 10 years ago. When Stagecoach took over Fleet Buzz in 2011 they kept the identity for 3 years and repainted a number of their own buses into the distinctive yellow and black livery. One such bus was AE51VFV, now lovingly restored by James Bell. It is seen here in the bus station as it would have been seen on the Route 72 to Reading. Some town shots conclude this afternoon jolly.

A second tri-axle Irizar PB has just been delivered to Quicksilver, this being a very special and expensive version that has rightfully become the fleet flagship. S11 VER has just 31 leather-trimmed seats arranged in 2+1 formation around tables with reading lamps, aircraft-style overhead lockers, full audio-visual equipment, a large toilet/washroom and a kitchen area with a drinks dispenser and microwave oven. It is one of three such vehicles converted by Eldorado Motors, and wears a special silver and charcoal grey livery without fleetnames for corporate work.

January 9th, 2015 - Risso's Dolphin Slaughter
The Cove runs red with the blood of the innocent for the second consecutive day in Taiji. Cove Guardians documented as the heartbreaking events unfolded before them.
At Approximately 9:25am local Japan time the killing fleet spotted a pod of Risso's dolphins and wasted no time in falling into a drive formation that pushed the family to their ultimate demise. Just off shore part of the killing boats tore away from the main drive to pursue what appeared to be a second pod. It seemed that the killers were merging the two pods together and that the second pod was thankfully able to evade the killers before they were merged into one pod.
After the dolphins were forced against their will into the the main cove they desperately clung close together in terror. Two of the Risso's got themselves entangled in the nets in an attempt to escape but the killers were relentless and forced them back into the killing cove. At one point one of the dolphins actually managed to escape only to fight it's way back through the nets, unwilling to leave it's loved ones behind.
There were four juveniles that had to witness their family slaughtered today before being heartlessly dumped out at sea to fend for themselves. There is very little chance the babies will survive after having to endure so much stress and terror, now swimming alone in the waters just offshore where their families were last seen alive.
11 lives were lost today but they were not alone and we will always be here to expose the atrocities to the world until the slaughter ends – at Taiji, Japan.

Another ex-London bus, fleet number 1017 is seen at Leopold Place just on the edge of the city centre. The 2010 vehicle (though not calling Edinburgh home until 2018) is seen working a 4 from Hillend to The Jewel. Leopold Place - designed by the architect, William Henry Playfair, in 1820 - is named after Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg (uncle to both Queen Victoria and Prince Albert) who visited Edinburgh in 1819. In 1831, he became King Leopold I of Belgium. The bus carries a road safety message. The eastern terminus of the route (currently ASDA at The Jewel) moves to Queen Margaret University at Musselburgh from 28 May 2023.

At one time it was common to find a pair of Warbonnet painted B40-8W's leaning into a superelevated curve with a high speed intermodal freight in tow. Built for high speed service over the Santa Fe system, these units enjoyed many days as the pride of the fleet. Fast forward 20 years (or so) and you can still find a pair of B40's leaning into a curve, albeit at 10 mph on a shortline in Saskatchewan! Now wouldn't this pair look good in new paint?

Fleet Street is a street in the City of London named after the River Fleet, London's largest underground river. It was the home of British national newspapers until the 1980s. Even though the last major British news office, Reuters, left in 2005, the term Fleet Street continues to be used as a metonym for the British national press.

The United States Maritime Administration had already rejected the historical status of the ship as not significant to be worthy of preservation, as they do most ships in reserve. The PRESIDENT was towed away from the raft of ships at the end of Row J, on March 8, 2011, and scrapped.

In the short span of just over a decade the former PRESIDENT TYLER went from being a state-of-the-art freighter to a somewhat obsolete example of an earlier transitional era in cargo shipping. By the early 1970’s she was relegated to month-long voyages in Southwest Asia, sailing from Singapore as far west as Bombay, India and back via Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia. By 1976 the itinerary had been switched to two-week voyages from Hong Kong to Singapore and Jakarta, marketed to passengers under the hipper title of “Singapore Swing” cruises. By this time, her days as an American President Lines vessel were numbered. On August 30, 1979 they traded her to the Maritime Administration, with the name abbreviated to simply PRESIDENT, registered in Washington, D.C. The 18 year old ship was placed in the Ready Reserve Fleet at Suisun Bay where she quietly spent the next 31 years rising and falling with the tides.
The PRESIDENT TYLER was 563.75 feet long with a beam of 76 feet. The 13,223 gross ton cargo-liner also carried 12 passengers in 8 staterooms including a spacious suite. Public rooms were placed in an aft-facing location over two decks and included an observation lounge, a second lounge one deck higher with an adjacent card room and dining room. Outdoor deck space was provided on both levels. The ship’s complement included 60 crew members.
The map shows the ship's location on the West end of Row J, when I took the photo. 38.079075, -122.093467
This was Saturday clear shot with blue angels last fly by with smoke. Friday was with no smokey, Sunday was foggy weather. This was the classic lucky snapshot at my favorite spot to watch the airshow.
Thanks for looking!
