Resetting the clock forward tonight means I'll be grumpy tomorrow morning (but I do like the longer evening light).

Life is full of surprises; we never know what's ahead around the corner, but we keep moving forward.

Forward swept wings are an obvious feature of both the S-37 (left) from Russian and the X-29 (right) from the US. The latter was purely intended as a research aircraft and to save costs and because it didn't have to carry weapons or combat systems, the aircraft could be made quite small. The Sukhoi design was intended to eventually replace the Su-27 Flanker as Russia's air superiority fighter, and consequently was supposed to have a long range and advanced sensor systems and it had an internal weapons bay. As a result it's a big beast. Both of these models were built at the same scale of roughly 1/40, so the size comparison is realistic.

A Class 66 leading a 59 has become the standard motive power formation for 7A09. The days of a single 59 at the head of the 4000+ ton train appear to be over unless, perhaps, DB Cargo drop their charges for Freightliner using Acton Yard. If a standard 75mph geared Class 66 is used when the full consist is in use, then both locos need to be under power as the train weight is over the limit for the 66, even though the 59 could quite happily handle the train in its own. In this case 7A09 was short formed and was about on the limit for a single 66.

We always look forward to the blossoms on this plant. Clitoria ternatea, commonly known as Asian pigeonwings, bluebellvine, blue pea, butterfly pea, cordofan pea or Darwin pea is a plant species belonging to the family Fabaceae.
Thanks for the visits folks. I appreciate all the comments, saved favs and group invites. I look forward to visiting many of your streams in the next few days.
Forwards Fokker 50
Swedish regional airline Amapola Flyg, which started out carrying mail & then passenger operations, internally in Sweden & to Finland using a fleet of Dutch built turboprop Fokker 50's are now in Ireland in 2021.
On the 26th July 2021, Amapola relaunched the Dublin to Donegal ( Carrickfinn ) route which had ceased on the 12th June with the collapse of Stobart Air.
Operating twice daily flights between Donegal @ 0820 & 1640 returning from Dublin @ 1510 & 1820 hrs on weekdays with a reduced weekend service. Carrickfinn Airport has been voted the nicest airport approach for the last 4 years, right on the edge of the north west Ireland.
Fokker 50 SE-MFY has been operating the route from the beginning. It was delivered to DLT in March 1990 & has been with carriers such as Lufthansa, VLM, Cityjet & lastly Air Antwerp until their demise earlier in 2021.
Single fares on the Dublin-Donegal route, which is operated on a PSO ( public service obligation ) by the Irish Government currently start at 55 euros each way.
My thanks to the amazing cockpit crew that day, Captain David, FO Thomas & cabin crew Isak for their warmth & kindness, along with the co-operation of ground staff at Carrickfinn Airport for these photos.
Well worth a spin.

Thoroughly dominating the main hall of the California State Railroad Museum is one of the most impressive steam locomotives that I have ever seen displayed indoors. Weighing in at more than 650,000 lbs, and having over 124,000 lbs of tractive effort, this powerful 4-8-8-2 locomotive was built for the Southern Pacific Railroad for use on mountain routes, where long snow-sheds and tunnels were commonplace. The front-end exhaust of conventional steam locomotives typically filled such structures with hot, toxic gasses which could easily asphyxiate crew members on the train. To solve that problem the SP built several classes of "Cab-Forwards", such as this Class AC-12. They offered the crew not only cleaner air to breathe, but fantastic forward visibility, although their ability to watch their engine's workings was diminished considerably. The use of oil as a fuel allowed the firebox to be moved to the forward end of the locomotive...something that was impossible with solid fuels. The 4294 was the last member of the ultimate class of cab-forwards and only enjoyed a relatively short service life, from 1944 to 1956. When these locomotives were retired, all but one...the one seen here, were scrapped. Thanks to a good relationship between the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society and the SP, this one was preserved. After spending some time as an outdoor display, she was restored and brought to the California State Railroad Museum, where she is clearly the centerpiece of their display. The cab is open for viewing daily and is manned continuously by museum docents.
Mmmm....a tasty confection if ever I saw one. It's a shame to let beautiful lingerie hide out of sight all the time....so I make sure to air Daisy's out from time to time. ❤️️
You know, I can hardly believe it's almost time to run the clocks forward again. I don't know about you folks....but Daisy and I are VERY pleased to get this crummy winter behind us! 😊
WE 304-303-300 tied down on the main track with no crew at Bruceton, PA awaiting track work to clear ahead. Train includes 6 loads of rip-rap in side-dumps and 95 empty coke hoppers that will go to Monessen, PA. The gas bottles on the left are from the recent welded rail project that has been ongoing east of Pierce.
If we do not step forward, then we step back. If we do not protect a right, then we deny it.
