Fernstein Castle, which has been converted into a hotel, is located on the western shore of the lake on the Fernpassstraße (B 179) The owner of the lake requires divers to have at least 80 dives documented in the logbook and to stay at least two nights at Hotel Fernstein. The Fernsteinsee is not only very popular with locals, but also with guests.
At the time we vistited in Feburary the lake was frozen for most parts.
The Collection’s Magister was built in 1939 and entered service with the RAF as P6382. However, when it was acquired in 1971 it bore the bogus civil registration G-AJDR.
The logbook revealed an earlier change of fuselage (to which an aeroplane’s identity is attached) to that of P6382 which had never borne a civil registration so it has now been registered G-AJRS.
It was restored to flying condition by Shuttleworth apprentices using components from three other specimens and is one of only four airworthy examples in the world.
Momenti dell'indimenticabile periodo a bordo della Princess Cruises, primo anno:
1) Vestito da "Mexican" prima di scendere a terra ad Acapulco
2) Bisogna essere cordiali con i passeggeri
3) Scrivendo il "Libro di Bordo"

Moments from the unforgettable time on board Princess Cruises, my first year:
1) Dressed as a "Mexican" before going ashore in Acapulco
2) Officers must be friendly with passengers
3) Writing the "Logbook"

N6653K, a de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver Mk. 1, heading south on taxiway "Bravo" to runway 33 at Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport in Markham, Ontario.
Kenneth Gorelick (aka Kenny G) was flying solo aboard his classy classic. That day, the renowned saxophonist flew to Fort Wayne, Indiana; Kirksville, Missouri; and Kansas City, Missouri. In the process, he added approximately 8 hours and 50 minutes to his logbook. This beautiful Beaver arrived home at Camarillo, California two days after departing Toronto.
Serial number 565 was delivered from the plant in Downsview, Ontario to the United States Army as 53-2782 on November 3, 1953.
This airplane's understated registration doesn't distract one's eyes from its elegant paint scheme.

I didn't understand what could have happened to me. I was at home playing video games and I was teleported to Tokyo Zero. How can this be possible?
Tokyo is the same way. At least here there is less lag than outside. Wait, is that my controller right here at the beginning of the island?
Wonder what's going on? there's something inside...
There is a numbering inside this control. Does it mean there are more of them? Maybe I could look into one of those pink arcades.
Walking through the streets, I found another control, only dipped in oil.
I have no doubts, I'm on a hunt. I just saw another controller behind a blue chair with some pink inanimate object on it.
Could it be that if I had hit my head here I would have already managed to pick it up without having to look over?
can we talk about love and the dance floor?
I just want to relax… enjoy….
Then maybe I can try to get a taxi back to the real world.
but first I need to take a look at the Light that resembles that of the comics.
look in front of an alley to see an AD of people playing (maybe I can get in there too…)
but the real thing is that now I'm thirsty… I just need to find a bench to eat and drink.
apparently there were no drinks there, but I was told of an alley with a drinks machine.
I realized that inside this garbage here there is also a control.
but now i'm hungry too, should i go to the robot food stand?
I think this street is very dirty. But I love this Android dancing in the building.
When I looked inside the corridor of Androids I saw a bunny with my controller in her hand.
I didn't like the previous food very much, maybe I should order a classic food made fresh by one of those machines...
At the end of it all, I just wanted to sit and play a video game in one of the blue chairs. Who knows how to stop to play makes me come back.
Hout Bay is a harbour town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is situated in a valley on the Atlantic seaboard of the Cape Peninsula, twenty kilometres south of Cape Town.
The first written account of Hout Bay dates to 1607 when John Chapman, masters mate on the English boat, the "Consent" which was becalmed at the entrance to the Bay, was sent in the ship's pinnace at dusk on a chancy venture because Hout Bay was unknown wild country and the time was late afternoon which would make it difficult for him to find the Consent in the darkness.
Recorded in the Rutter (Logbook) by the pilot, John Davis: "Chapman’s Chaunce hath in latitude 34-10 and is a harbour which Leith within the south-west point under a little hill like charring cross (a sculptured memorial of a cross on an ornamental mounting in London) close hanging by the seaside of the S.S.W side of the land " Chapmans Chaunce was the first name given to Hout Bay and it was also the first English name to appear on the maps of Southern Africa.
In 1614 an English sailor records having taken wood from the forest of Hout Bay in order to mend his ship.

One last look at the Piper Cub my late brother Kevin bought way back in 1975. An unusual late November thunderstorm caused enough damage to this classic's wings that Kev ended up selling it to an aircraft restoration specialist. Kev flew it several times and I still have his Pilot's Logbook with his notations about each flight. I'm proud that Kev didn't give up on flying and finally earned his Commercial Pilot's License.

The Spice Island Inn is located on the harbour-side at Portsmouth and is a favourite spot for watching ships and boats coming in and out of the busy harbour. Dating back to the 1700's, the name derives from being the first place spices from Jamaica landed. It was originally three old smugglers pubs.
Portsmouth Point, or "Spice Island", is part of Old Portsmouth. The Portsmouth Point name was commonly contracted to Po'm. P. when handwritten in ships logbooks to save time and space, which gave rise to the nickname of "Pompey" for Portsmouth Point. Pompey is also the present day nickname of the city of Portsmouth, the naval base and the professional football club.

Citroen SM Cabriolet
Baujahr: 1972/1992
V6 Zyl. 2.670 ccm 163 PS
220 Km/h
Frontantriebler
Bei diesem SM Cabriolet handelt es sich um den ersten von fünf Chapron-Nachbauten vom Auto Atelier Waßmann. Das Fahrzeug wurde 1972 an einen Versicherungskaufmann aus Mannheim ausgeliefert. 1973 zog dieser innerhalb Mannheims um und die Adresse im Fahrzeugbrief umgeschrieben. In den Jahren ‘74 und ‘80 zog der Besitzer nach Weinheim und Fürth. 1986 hat er das Fahrzeug vorübergehend stilllegen lassen. Dies alles ist im alten braunen Fahrzeugbrief dokumentiert. 1986 wurde ein Wertgutachten zu dem Fahrzeug erstellt, und anhand dessen ist verbrieft, dass der Kilometerstand zu diesem Zeitpunkt 159.004 betragen hat. Ebenso vermerkt ist, dass bei 100.000 Km ein Citroen-Austauschmotor eingebaut wurde.
Nach Erstellung des Gutachtens wurde das Auto ‘86 an den Zweitbesitzer verkauft. Dieser zweite Besitzer hatte den Wagen nicht angemeldet und 1989 bei Kilometerstand 160.000 an eine Familie in Cuxhaven verkauft. Diese Familie hatte am 1991 die Firma Auto Atelier Waßmann GmbH damit beauftragt, das Fahrzeug im Stil eines originalen Chapron-Cabriolet Mylord umzubauen. Die schriftliche Kommunikation und die Auftragsbestätigung liegen vor. 1992 wurde in den deutschen Fahrzeugpapieren die Eintragung „Pkw geschlossen“ gelöscht und der Umbau zum Cabriolet eingetragen. Die Familie aus Cuxhaven hat vom 20.04.1992 bei 172.470 Km bis zum 13.08.1998 bei 226.714 Km an ein Fahrtenbuch geführt. Die Eintragung vom 27.04.1992 lautet „Inbetriebnahme als Cabrio!“ 1994 wurde ein Austauschmotor beschafft und dieser komplett überholt (Zylinderilaufbuchsen, Kolben, Nockenwellen, Steuerketten, ...) und bei 201.025 Km eingebaut. Im November 1996 ließ die Familie in Cuxhaven aın Wertgutachten erstellen, in dem der Kilometerstand von 213.549 verbrieft ist. Vom 28.05.1999 bis zum 16.05.2008 und 257.060 Km führte die Familie ein zweites Fahrtenbuch. 2016 wurde das Fahrzeug, inzwischen mit einer deutschen H-Zulassung versehen, von der Familie in Cuxhaven außer Betrieb genommen.
Am 24.12.2021 wurde das Auto als Weihnachtsgeschenk in die Niederlande exportiert. Dieser Niederländer hat uns den Wagen zum Verkauf überlassen. Die aktuelle Laufleistung des Autos beträgt 258.242 Km und das bedeutet, dass mit dem Motor seit seiner Revision nur 57.217 Km gefahren wurden. Fotos vom Cabrioumbau und auch von der Motorrevision sind vorhanden. Es handelt sich also nicht nur um ein extrem seltenes, sondern auch um ein sehr, sehr gut dokumentiertes Fahrzeug.

Citroen SM Cabriolet
Year of manufacture: 1972/1992
V6 cylinder 2,670 cc 163 hp
220 km/h
Front-wheel drive
This SM Cabriolet is the first of five Chapron replicas built by Auto Atelier Waßmann. The vehicle was delivered to an insurance broker from Mannheim in 1972. In 1973, he moved within Mannheim and the address in the vehicle registration document was changed. In 1974 and 1980, the owner moved to Weinheim and Fürth. In 1986, he had the vehicle temporarily de-registered. All of this is documented in the old brown vehicle registration document. In 1986, a valuation report was prepared for the vehicle, which certifies that the mileage at that time was 159,004 kilometres. It also notes that a Citroën replacement engine was installed at 100,000 kilometres.
After the report was prepared, the car was sold to its second owner in 1986. This second owner did not register the car and sold it to a family in Cuxhaven in 1989 with a mileage of 160,000 kilometres. In 1991, this family commissioned Auto Atelier Waßmann GmbH to convert the vehicle into an original Chapron Mylord convertible. The written communication and order confirmation are available. In 1992, the entry "closed passenger car" was deleted from the German vehicle documents and the conversion to a convertible was entered. The family from Cuxhaven kept a logbook from 20 April 1992 at 172,470 km until 13 August 1998 at 226,714 km. The entry dated 27 April 1992 reads "Commissioned as a convertible!" In 1994, a replacement engine was procured and completely overhauled (cylinder liners, pistons, camshafts, timing chains, etc.) and installed at 201,025 km. In November 1996, the family in Cuxhaven had a valuation report drawn up, which certified the mileage of 213,549 km. From 28 May 1999 to 16 May 2008 and 257,060 km, the family kept a second logbook. In 2016, the vehicle, which had since been granted German H registration, was taken out of service by the family in Cuxhaven.
On 24 December 2021, the car was exported to the Netherlands as a Christmas present. This Dutchman has left the car with us for sale. The car's current mileage is 258,242 km, which means that only 57,217 km have been driven since the engine was overhauled. Photos of the convertible conversion and the engine overhaul are available. This is therefore not only an extremely rare vehicle, but also one that is very, very well documented.

Shadows are starting to get pretty long on a summer evening as the Night Gas ducks under the highway bridge at Perma. One thing I could really get used to about Montana compared to here in the south, is having plenty of light (and lack of tree shadows) to expose images at 8pm and later during the longest days of the year. 7:40 PM MDT on this image to be precise, per my logbook.
Amazing find here, a Ford Granada Scorpio! Currently on SORN and no online MOT history is available, so it has been off the road for at least 17 years! It really did not look too bad considering being sat out in the open for so long, defiantly salvageable, just some faded paint and rust round the wheel arches cosmetically. Last logbook change was on the 5th of December 2011.
When was the last time you saw a van version? Looked amazing and I feel like it was only recently put on the road as it has only one MOT recorded on the 9th of July 2021, where it passed with no advisories and had a recorded 54,686 miles. Taxed until the 1st of July 2023 and the last logbook change was on the 6th of August 2020. Very pleased to see these returning to the roads and not getting eternally sold on as 'unfinished projects' like many cars!

France is at the first place in EU for agricultural production.
Most of his ground (550,000 square kilometer) is carefully cultivated.
Parked up at a house that frequently has some classic Fords of some sort on the driveway, and today it was this Fiesta, finished in a very 70's two tone paint job, which I like very much! Currently taxed until the 1st of May 2023 but has been without MOT since the 30th of October 2019, although it does not need to have one as it is over 40 years old and classed as a historic vehicle. It had 35,007 miles at its last MOT in 2018 although that would have risen since then. Last logbook change was on the 10th of August 2020.
Yesterday, I had my very first wreck dive. It was the wreck of the Salem Express, which sank in 1991 off the coast of Safaga. It was a strange and solemn feeling, knowing the history of the Salem Express, which is considered an official grave site. You can read about the story online, for example on Google.
With that background and awareness in mind, we descended. There were two dives, and the sight of this massive ship was overwhelming — I couldn’t capture in photos what emotions and feelings arose during those two dives. I will make a short video about these two dives, both of which were deep dives recorded at 26 meters in my logbook.
Out of respect for those who still rest within the wreck, I only explored the Salem Express from the outside and did not enter the interior of the ship.
Previously seen on Flickr by Jude C, this very nice looking Renault 5. It has been fitted with different wheels which I like but has sadly lost its roof bars! Currently taxed until the 1st of May 2023 and MOT'ed until the 18th of November 2022. It currently sits at around 102,984 miles and the last logbook change was on the 24th of April 2022, so it would seem it has left life in London.

The name Manhattan derives from the word Manna-hata, as written in the 1609 logbook of Robert Juet, an officer on Henry Hudson's yacht Halve Maen (Half Moon). A 1610 map depicts the name as Manna-hata, twice, on both the west and east sides of the Mauritius River (later named the Hudson River). The word "Manhattan" has been translated as "island of many hills" from the Lenape language.
New York County is one of seven counties in the United States to share the same name as the state in which they are located. The others are Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Oklahoma, and Utah counties.
The United States Postal Service prefers that mail addressed to Manhattan use "New York, NY" rather than "Manhattan, NY"
We stayed in this cabin on the final night of a 5-day off-road journey through Death Valley. The backcountry of the park is scattered with dozens of cabins that were constructed by miners before the area became a national park. If you can find the cabins, you can stay in them. Many are overrun with rodents, but others are quite nice. The 4wd community maintains the cabins, and most have stores of food and tools in case you become stranded. Each cabin has a logbook, and it is interesting to read the stories of the previous visitors over the years.
This is a stack of 180 1-minute exposures for a total exposure time of about 3 hours. Striped Butte is the unusual striped mountain on the right.
About 75 of the 261 Lagonda 16/80s are thought to survive. Although this 1933 Lagonda 16/80 Tourer BPA334 survived World War Two, the car’s early life is a mystery until January 1961 when the car’s logbook showed the four-seater belonged to an owner in Northumberland.
The Lagonda 16/80 was a sports touring car introduced by Lagonda in 1932, replacing the company's 4-cylinder 2-litre model. This example was seen on the hill climb at Prescott on 15.05.2022.

“I can see the way you look at me
You can't see beyond the veil
I can tell the way you run from me
I'm not your perfect fairy tale
Watch me burn
Can you feel me
Watch as I turn
What do you see
Conflicted by your hurt
So let me share your pain
Convicted for my church
I was born in flames
Addicted to my fate
Watch as I devour
Convicted for my faith
This is the Witching Hour”

Saturday 26th June at 6pm saw the beginning of a 2 week lockdown (possibly to be extended) for certain areas of NSW including my stomping ground the Blue Mountains. This coincides with our school midterm break so I think we'll all go a bit stir crazy! Thankfully exercise is permitted so I will be taking full advantage of our local national park which is within walking distance from our home. I shall try and make a daily photographic logbook to pass the time. Here's day one.
[Explored]
More and more too, the old name absorbs into me Mannahatta, 'the place encircled by many swift tides and sparkling waters.' How fit a name for America's great democratic island city! The word itself, how beautiful! how aboriginal! how it seems to rise with tall spires, glistening in sunshine, with such New World atmosphere, vista and action! Walt Whitman
The name Manhattan derives from the word Manna-hata, as written in the 1609 logbook of Robert Juet, an officer on Henry Hudson's yacht Halve Maen (Half Moon). A 1610 map depicts the name Manahata twice, on both the west and east sides of the Mauritius River (later named the North River, and now called the Hudson River). The word "Manhattan" has been translated as "island of many hills" from the Lenape language. The Encyclopedia of New York City offers other derivations, including from the Munsee dialect of Lenape: manahachtanienk ("place of general inebriation"), manahatouh ("place where timber is procured for bows and arrows"), or menatay ("island").
I always prefer the place of general inebriation due to New Amsterdam's history regarding drinking. I may be wrong but I've heard that the ratio of bars to people was roughly 1 to 9 [edit: changed due to mistake pointed out by Lanzen (thanks!)] (anyone have information on this?).

The logbook has not changed in 23 years although it is recorded as grey by the DVLA suggesting there may have been a previous owner. Seen here in March 2026 with thanks to Brewster for letting us take photos.

Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum hangs a fully restored Spitfire fighter plane, all 2.3 tons suspended perilously above visitors’ heads.
The World War II-era fighter plane, an icon of the 1940 Battle of Britain air defense against the Nazi Blitzkrieg, has been in residence at the museum since 2006, after a major restoration project saw it returned to its former glory after years of neglect. From neck-straining views on the ground floor to up close and personal views on the first-floor mezzanine, visitors can get a real sense of what it must have been like to see a Spitfire in action.
Spitfires were essentially a thin aluminum shell with an engine, offering little in the way of protection from enemy fire. Pilots, some as young as 18, only had steel plating behind their seats to shield them from bullets. If they needed to abandon their aircraft the canopy had to be manually popped open, preferably while flying upside down to make use of gravity for a speedy exit. To aid escape each plane was fitted with a crowbar to jimmy open the canopy, should it become jammed shut.
LA-198 was delivered to the local 602 Squadron (City of Glasgow) in 1947, so it did not actually see any action during the war. Its active service was cut short in 1949 after engine trouble saw it “pranged on the runway,” as a contemporary Royal Air Force logbook jauntily described the accident.
The plane had mixed fortunes over the next few decades, variously being used as an extra in the 1967 film The Battle of Britain, as a gate guardian at several RAF airfields, and as an aerial target practice tow plane for the military. A rather battered and bruised aircraft ultimately ended up languishing in RAF museum storage until being rescued for restoration in the mid-90s by Glasgow City Council. The plane now stands, or rather hangs, as a vivid memorial to those daring pilots of the Second World War.
