The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene
The fenland parish of Fleet sits in the south Lincolnshire fens just off the busy A17 trunk road and about 8 miles east of the market town of Spalding. At nearly 12 miles long but only 2 miles at it's widest, the settlement filtered northwards as land was reclaimed from this former tidal inlet. Once surpassing Spalding in population and wealth, Fleet was the focus of Templar activities in medieval times with a yearly fair and vigorous market for centuries.
The Grade I listed Anglican church, dating from the late 12th century, is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene. The 120 feet church tower with spire is like many medieval fenland churches and is detached from the nave by 15 feet. The exterior is mainly Decorated in style, with Early English arcades and a Perpendicular west window. According to Cox (1916), the church was restored in 1860, when the chancel was rebuilt, although the canopied sedilia was retained.
Mortons of Little London Volvo B10M-55 / Alexander PS DP48F M460VCW is seen calling at Fleet Station on rail replacement duties in March 2017. This bus was new to Stagecoach Ribble as their 460 in 1995.
A sponsor of these Tulsa races. This was shot from the hip so just happy to get the van entirely in the frame. Processed in Nik HDR FX Pro 2 even though it was just a single file mainly to lift the shadows and pump up the color.

406 LJ09KRK Crosville Motor Services a recent addition to the fleet. Weston Super Mare Saturday 15th November 2014.
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.

At some point within the recent past, Notts & Derby purchased a smattering of Enviro 200s, which I believe are the first non-MMC E200s taken into the Wellglade fleet on a permanent basis. Previously with Edwards Coaches and Taf Valley, YX12 DHY now occupies fleet number 51 at N&D.
Here on 16.7.25 it is pictured outside Derby railway station with a U1. It looks very fetching fully vinylled up in the current version Notts & Derby fleet livery.
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.
Fleet number 1129 was seen at the east end of George Street, starting to make the turn on to Saint Andrew Square. The vehicle - new in 2019 in Airlink Express 24/7 livery - is one of four that have instead now been given the white treatment. The spire of St. Andrew’s and St. George’s West Church rises behind the vehicle, which is passing the offices of Aberdeen Standard Investments

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?

Vehicles of the Greater Manchester Police motorway fleet from the mid 1970s.
The iconic police Range Rover is flanked by a Ford Granada estate and a Ford Transit van.
The impressive police sign and blue light atop the vehicles may have been very eye-catching, but were sadly not very aerodynamic and known to reduce the vehicles top speed by several miles per hour.
The Range Rover and the Ford Capri are perhaps the best-remembered Greater Manchester Police vehicles of the era.

Despite - or perhaps because - of operating one of the largest fleets of Scania-MCW Metropolitans in the company, Tyne & Wear PTE didn’t take to its successor the MCW Metrobus. It ordered just five examples for evaluation in 1979 (fleet numbers 415-9) and sold them to London Buses in 1988 (fleet numbers M1481-5). 419 (M1485) was destroyed by fire while working out of Potters Bar garage. The remaining four saw further use as sightseeing buses with various operators (08-Apr-23).

An unknown 33 heads south on the fast line through Fleet in this 1987 image. Of note are all the angular 1980 vehicles in the car park.
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
Composition of some of my cars i intend for my fleet, though I will most likely cut these down to half or so as i do not have a lot of space for display...
Edit: I forgot to mention I probably won't do boxcars, as i do not find them as interesting as any other number of freight but i have been thinking i might buy instructions for one of the BMR to fill out a bit at some point maybe as a drop in/drop out with the coal hoppers.
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!
