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!

Was visiting a nearby office for the first time and decided to have a walk around Fleet Pond rather than sit in traffic. As much as can see the fantastic effort put in, it just seems to be a place to exercise dogs. A lovely pair of young black labradors were encouraged to chase Canadian and Egyptian Geese by their owner filming them laughing, whilst another woman just let the dog poop in the path several times making no attempt to clean it up. The only bright spot was this cloudburst but by then had lost the motivation to stay any longer. When i got back to my car it had long fine scratches down one side - was it those kids walking through the car park trailing branches behind them? No evidence to that one but was finale to a very disappointing couple of hours. I'm not anti-dog - hope the lady who had lost hers found it...

ARRIVA North West Volvo Olympian / Northern Counties 3311 - R311 WVR, the last survivor of a batch of 22 purchased by MTL Merseybus in 1997 and branded as 'The Millennium Fleet' works a route 84 short from Crewe to Nantwich in the autumn of its career (literally). This example outlasted its last remaining sisters by some four months despite not being refurbished or repainted into the new livery like some of its peers, The bus has been sold to Peoplesbus of Liverpool and thus will return to its former stamping ground. This was the last bus in Winsford's allocation to carry the old corporate livery.

Fleet Nos 1620 & 1671. The 400MMC was my vehicle for a shift of duplicate shuttles on the Route 9 following the UK Pride Day held in Ryde. This was the first time I'd driven a Southern Vectis variant of this bus and I really enjoyed the experience.
.... It's all about corporate cronyism
and geopolitical interests

This is a Hutson Brothers postcard showing the scene from Fleet Street looking east towards Ludgate Circus and Ludgate Hill with St. Paul’s Cathedral in the distance. The postcard was posted in January 1936, but the photograph is from 1930. The Star newspaper was a London evening newspaper and I can just remember the news vendors call of “Star, News and Standard”, referring to the Evening News and the Evening Standard. The Star was taken over by the Evening News in 1960. The placard on the back of the paper van refers to the death of Dr. William Sandford Whitcombe aged 65, the Harley Street specialist. On 16th April 1930 he was found at his home in Holland Road, Kensington, suffering from extensive burns from which he later died, the inquest was told that he took the drug Veronal for his insomnia and had apparently collapsed onto a gas fire receiving the burns injuries. The Doctor’s wife was represented at the inquest by a Mr. Fearnley-Whittingstall, now where have I heard that name before? Mr. Oswald, the West London Coroner, found that Dr. Whitcombe had been overcome by a dose of Veronal which had caused him to accidentally fall onto the gas fire. The drug, Veronal, was the first synthesized Barbiturate which was available commercially and was the sleeping pill of choice although prolonged use leads to an accumulation in the body and can cause an inadvertent overdose. The City of London police constable on traffic duty is wearing a white cape to aid his visibility when directing traffic, I think that the City of London police was the only force to issue white capes, but I may be wrong about that.
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 ?
Fleet number 434 was seen on Kilgraston Road while working a Sunday 41 service from The King’s Buildings to Cramond. The vehicle is passing the junction with Whitehouse Terrace
Last one for today and we are going to end with a Peak on the Southern again.
The date is Saturday the 8th of July 1967 and location is Fleet. I have no idea as to the workings of Cross Country trains in this area at this time, but class 46 D154 is on the up fast line working the 1E55 Portsmouth to Sheffield service via Kew and Brent (thanks to Mister C below). Can't recall seeing any other photos of Peaks on passenger in this area around this time, but it could have been something regular.
As its a Saturday its unlikely to be a diversion, but it could well be a dated train that is heading for Clapham Junction and then across London to the Eastern. Anyone any ideas?
D154 was new to was new to Derby in February 1962 and a Midland Lines (ML) loco at this time. The loco became 46017 under tops and was finally withdrawn in April 1984 and cut up at Swindon Works in June 1986.

A few vessels of the Montauk fishing fleet, berthed along East Lake Drive.
"The lake was originally referred to on maps as Lake Wyandanch and commonly referred to as the "Great Lake". It was the largest body of freshwater on Long Island, more than double the size of Lake Ronkonkoma. In 1927, real estate developer Carl Fisher blasted a gap on the northern shoreline to connect the lake to Block Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.
Fisher intended to develop the new port of Montauk into the "Miami Beach of the North". On Star Island, a small island in the lake, he built the Montauk Yacht Club and Star Island Casino. His other projects included the hotel Montauk Manor, Montauk Playhouse, the golf course Montauk Downs, and the six-story Montauk Tower. Fisher renamed the lake Lake Montauk.
After Fisher opened and dredged the lake, the lake replaced Fort Pond Bay as Montauk's main port (Fort Pond Bay is notoriously shallow and rocky with one of its more famous groundings being HMS Culloden during the American Revolution).
Fisher's enterprises became bankrupt after the Crash of 1929. The United States Navy assumed control of the lake during World War II along with other Fisher businesses including Montauk Manor.
After World War II, the lake became a well-known commercial and sports fishing area, and became New York's largest fishing port.
In the 1970s, a proposal was made to dam the sound and build a canal through the former Montaukett Indian Field and Big Reed Pond for a new outlet. The plan included a proposal for constructing more than 1,000 houses along the new waterway. Intense local opposition organized by Hilda Lindley stopped the plan. Suffolk County assumed ownership of the property and it is now Theodore Roosevelt County Park (formerly Montauk County Park).
Among the businesses on the lake is the only ferry service in East Hampton town. It offers service during summers to Block Island, Martha's Vineyard, and New London, Connecticut.
The United States Coast Guard also operates a station on Star Island. Montauk Airport is on the east side of the lake, on East Lake Drive.
Montauk is noted as one of the leading centers for sport fishing on the Atlantic Coast. By 1986, it claimed 39 world-record catches. including a 76-pound (34 kg) striped bass.
Montauk hosts several annual shark tournaments. The craze for shark fishing off Montauk was encouraged in the 1970s by local boat operator Frank Mundus who often was reported in stories as the source for the character Quint in the movie Jaws. Mundus caught a 4,500-pound (2,041 kg) great white shark by harpoon and a 3,427-pound (1,554 kg) great white shark by rod and reel." (Wikipedia)

I've been hearing bits and pieces about Fleet Foxes and their new album, Helplessness Blues in the news lately and it again spurs controversy and questions about "free music dowloading" and all of that. I'm a person who spends quite alot of money on records but I will say I like to hear a record first and I also can appreciate the idea of an honor system-the songs are available and if you like them you should support the musicians/band by buying the album. I know alot of people are struggling economically but it makes sense if you value art and music to support it to me.
Thoughts?
