Three of the Airfield Volunteer Fire Service's vehicles are seen here in front of their garage at the Shuttleworth Collection's Old Warden aerodrome near Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, prior to the 2015 Wings and Wheels Show.
On the left is Fire 3, a 1990 Land Rover 110" High Capacity Defender, registration G792 FWP, modified to meet Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) requirements for use by the AVFS. It has a 2.5 litre direct-injection turbocharged 300TDI diesel engine, which was rebuilt in 2003-04, and a five-speed manual gearbox.
Bought by the AVFS as a standard Defender, a specialist company fitted it with a Perren Unit Pressure vessel and it has a 690-litre pre-mix foam capability.
In the centre is Fire 4, a 1989 Land Rover Defender 127, registration F146 MTM. It has a 3.5 litre petrol engine and a five-speed manual gearbox. It carries a Godiva UMPX 2,250-litres/minute pump with a water capacity of 1,800 litres. There's a triple-expansion ladder on top.
On the right is Fire 5, a 1991 Land Rover Defender 127, registration H906 HUR. It too has a 3.5 litre petrol engine and a five-speed manual gearbox. It carries a Godiva GMA 3,400 litres/minute pump and 1,360 litres of water.
Fires 4 and 5 had previous lives in Bedfordshire and Luton Fire and Rescue Service, being stationed originally at Shefford and then at Woburn (4) and Potton and Sandy (5). They were donated to the AVFS by Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service in May 2010. The AVFS's own volunteers brought both of them up to CAA Category 1 standards in 2011.

Showing off it's classy livery to good effect is Wealden Beeline's Wadham Stringer bodied Leyland Leopard B701 AKM. It's fine testimony to the theory that two shades of the same colour with cream makes for the best bus liveries. At the time of it's conversion, seventy seater single deckers were something of a rarity, though more recently they've grown in popularity as double deckers have faded for schools work. With the closure of the Wealden business, the bus passed to the newly formed Autocar where it received their odd but strangely attractive pink purple and white livery. Latterly the Leopard passed to Ladyline of Congleton where it has recently been withdrawn and replaced by a Volvo B10M Alexander Q type. Currently it resides in my storage compound whilst a decision is made regarding it's future.

"Your data is unrecoverable" Two different professional technicians said!
I always advise my friends to frequently backup their data, and I did it myself too.
Fortunately I do backup twice a month, and I didn't loose lots of information. But I lost all my photos from Gavkhuni swamp and Isfahan trip, in addition to Fatemeh's photos and Somayeh's photos.
Sorry Somayeh and Fatemeh...
1993 Land Rover Defender 110 Tdi High-Capacity Pick-Up.
Last MoT test expired in September 2022 (SORN).
The Fabrique National Haut Puissance Mle. 1935 made in Herstal, Belgium was one of the first (if not THE first) high capacity "Wonder Nine" pistols. The basic design was created by John Moses Browning, but he died before it went into production. It was further refined by FN's Dieudonne Saive and adopted by Belgium for military service in 1935. In English speaking countries, the pistol is commonly known as the Browning Hi-Power.
The example seen here is a Belgian Military variant with a dull black finish and plastic grip panels. Commercial Browning Hi Powers typically have a high-polish blue or hard chrome finish and checkered walnut grips. The original chambering was 9mm Luger (Parabellum), but it's also available in .40 S&W. Unusual calibers, such as .30 Luger, 9x21mm and .38 Auto may be encountered in countries where private citizens are prohibited from owning 9mm Luger pistols.
The Heckler & Koch USP (for Universal Self-loading Pistol) has a lightweight polymer frame and the metal parts are coated with a Teflon-type material. It is available in standard and compact models, chambered for 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 and .357 SIG calibers. The safety / decock lever can be easily changed for left-handed shooters or as double action only or other arrangements, for a total of 10 different configurations.
I live 8 miles from the Center on Halsted, where I volunteer, so biking there on Halsted would take about an hour (I've done it several times before - there are 42 stop lights and 68 blocks). Google Maps said that taking the Red line from Sox/35th to Addison would take only 27 minutes.
It took 28. Add in the 7 minutes it takes to ride my bike to the station, and the 0-4 minutes I have to wait for the train, I get there faster! I'm not switching over to the train full time, though! No way. I also had to pay $4.50 for the round trip.
That's my Nishiki Backroads bike in the photo, with the blue fenders and Michelin commuter tire with reflective strip. Notice how I forgot to connect the cable to my heavy-duty Kryptonite u-lock - I seem to do this often. I think it's great to have this parking available in a sheltered location INSIDE the paid fare zone (possibly reducing the number of potential thieves who want to steal my bike).
In and amongst the scanning of Clem Smith's vast archive, I occasionally find the time to indulge the relatively new aspect of the hobby, that of colourising old B&W shots. Some of those worked on have, like the above, come from my own archive of things taken in my very first years of bus photography. Whilst none were very good, doing this sort of gives them a bit of a new lease of life imho.
Before I began my working life in buses here, I and my good friend Tim Machin befrended the folks at Stoniers of Goldenhill. On this occasion workshop foreman Amby Smith reversed AEC Reliance DXD 42C out of its withdrawn position at the rear of the garage so that I could photograph it prior to its departure for scrap (well, technically as a trade-in).
DXD 42 C was a bit of a rare machine, being one of a handful of steel framed Plaxton Derwent bodies built before the timber/composite ones we're more familiar with came on the scene. The AH 590 engined bus had been new to Hillside of Luton in 1965, a business whose work involved the need for high capacity moving people around and about Luton airport. To that end it seated 61 in 3 x 2 layout.
After leaving there, it went to Green Bus of Rugely before finishing its working days at Stoniers. It has to be said that whilst it was mechanically competent, it wasn't a popular bus, particularly with conductors and passengers.

The Sigarms P226 is a solid, reliable service pistol used by countless police forces worldwide. The "R" stands for "rail," a common feature on modern police style handguns that allows the mounting of a light or laser sight below the barrel. The frame is aluminum alloy and the slide is blackened stainless steel. The trigger system is single / double action with a decocker lever on the left-hand side. This .40S&W version came with two 12-round magazines and Tritium night sights. Sig offers at least 17 variants of this model, from a basic police pistol to a full blown USPSA competition model. Available calibers are .22, 9mm, .357 and .40. Caliber change kits are available and are no more difficult to install than field stripping the pistol for cleaning. Barrel is 4.4 inches (112mm) with traditional rifling.
This is a high capacity version of the venerable Mauser HSc (for Hahn Selbstspanner ("self-cocking hammer") Pistole, third and final design "C".) Production of the original began as World War II was breaking out in 1940. This is actually a licensed copy made for Italian police by Renato Gamba SpA. in Gardone. It has a 13-shot, double stack magazine, double action trigger and exposed, semi-shrouded hammer.
As this was likely a low-bid piece, Gamba cut a few corners. The wedge-shaped section of metal traditionally placed in front of the trigger guard on HSc's was omitted and the grips, typically polished wood, are plastic.
This was one of a few hundred surplus pistols imported a couple of years back. They came with one magazine and it's been impossible to find a spare. I did find a 10-rounder on an online gun auction, but it looked like total junk in the pictures. Definitely not worth the scalper's price the seller was asking!
The PMR30 is a relatively new offering from Kel-Tec CNC, Inc. of Cocoa, Florida. It's somewhat unusual in that it is a semi-automatic pistol which fires the .22 WMR (for Winchester Magnum Rimfire) cartridge, commonly called 22 Mag. There are a fair number of past and present .22 Mag revolvers, but only a very small handful of semiautos. The first was the Automag II, which has been made by a succession of manufacturers, with highly variable quality. Another was the relatively rare Grendel P-30, made by Kel-Tec founder George Kellgren's previous company. The equally uncommon Excel Arms Accelerator completes the small group.
The PMR30 has a frame, slide cover and some of the working parts made from Zytel glass-filled nylon. The grip frame is held together with 10 Allen head screws and 6 more attach various other parts. That has to be a new record for any handgun! The 4.3-inch (109mm) steel barrel has 1:11 traditional rifling. The safety levers are ambidextrous, though the slide stop is left side only. 3-dot fiber optic sights are very easy to see, even in low light (and with my 50+ year old eyes.)
The magazine, also Zytel, holds 30(!) rounds, though it's somewhat tricky to load. You really need to read the book to get all 30 cartridges into it and avoid failure- to- feed malfunctions. The magazine release is located at the bottom rear of the grip, but unlike European style heel clips, the magazine drops free with the press of a button. Unloaded, the pistol weighs only 13.6 ounces (386g) but balances well. As I write this, I haven't had it to the range but the magazine write-ups rate the reliability and accuracy highly... we'll see.
Currently, these pistols are made of unobtanium, so if you can't live without one RIGHT NOW, expect to pay scalpers' prices. That's not part of my Karma; I sort of lucked into this one. I paid $15 OVER list, but the dealer threw in a box of quality ammo, so I didn't quibble over it.
The SR9 is part of Ruger's so-called "Hard R" line, which also includes the P345 and LCP pistols and the LCR revolver. The glass-filled nylon frame is available in black or OD green and the slide comes in natural or blackened stainless or blued steel. The trigger is double action only and the pistol is striker fired. The 4.14 inch (105mm) barrel is hammer forged stainless with traditional rifling. The magazine holds 17 rounds.
The first 30,000 SR9's had a design fault that could potentially cause the pistol to fire accidentally if it were dropped or otherwise mishandled and they were recalled. It's easy to tell if the retrofit has been done: updated pistols have a trigger with a center blade safety (similar to Glock) while the unmodified pistols have a solid trigger. The new trigger has a somewhat gritty feeling pull to it; I'm hoping it will smooth out with use.
Heckler & Koch USP pistols in 9mm Luger, .40 S&W and .45ACP. The .45 is a survivor of a fire in a gun shop; the Teflon-type finish on the slide has discolored to a brownish cast and the stippling on the grips is somewhat flattened, but it's otherwise functional.
Incidentally, the "Koch" in the name is pronounced sort of like "Coke" rather than like the former mayor of New York City.

Sig Pro series 2340 in .40 S&W caliber. This pistol features a polymer frame, blackened stainless slide and 3-3/4 inch (95mm) barrel with traditional rifling. The grips are interchangeable with (I think) 3 sizes. This one came through with a double action only trigger which I didn't care much for, so I changed it out for a single - double action with decocker lever. Not too bad of a job if you're not afraid to go just a little beyond normal field stripping. You can also change between .40 and .357 Sig by swapping just the barrel. The magazine stays the same. Mine is a "certified pre-owned" gun from Sig, but it was in great condition and shoots nicely. The magazine holds 12 rounds. This model has been replaced by the Sig Pro 2022 which is pretty similar as near as I can tell.

This is the .40 S&W version of Ruger's popular SR9 pistol. Quick measurements show it's just shy of an ounce heavier and about 1/16 of an inch thicker through the slide than the SR9. The magazine holds 15 rounds, as opposed to the SR9's 17. Otherwise, the features are pretty much identical.
