In the late 1950s, the Royal Navy operated the piston-engined Douglas A-1 Skyraider from its aircraft carriers in the AEW role. However, the Skyraider was a design that originated during the Second World War. It entered service with the RN in 1951 but, owing to its World War II vintage, would be considered obsolete by the late 50s. As a consequence, the Royal Navy issued its directive AEW.154 to begin planning for a replacement for the Skyraider. The aircraft considered most suitable for this were seen as those already under development for the Navy's GR.17/45 Specification for a new anti-submarine aircraft, of which the front runners were the Blackburn B-54/B-88 and the Fairey Type Q/17. In this competition, it was the Fairey Aviation aircraft that proved the winner, eventually entering service as the Gannet.[1]
AN/APS-20 Radar Scanner
The intention was to use the Gannet as a stop-gap measure prior to the acquisition of a new, purpose built system intended to be used on the planned new generation of aircraft carriers. As a consequence, it was intended to undertake as little in the way of modification as possible - the AN/APS-20 radar[2] from the Skyraider would be mounted in a radome under the fuselage of an ordinary Gannet AS.1, with the associated electronics and space for two operators inside.[3] However, the size of the radome meant that the existing airframe was too close to the ground to accommodate the radar, and so a significant modification to the fuselage was required. This involved removing the observer's cockpits and creating a new cabin within the fuselage; this was accessed via a pair of hatches next to the trailing edge of the wing, which also meant that the exhausts had to be moved from this position to the leading edge; increasing the total area of the vertical stabiliser to compensate for the instability caused by the radome; and extending the length of the undercarriage to increase the clearance for the radome, which consequently increased the aircraft's overall height by 3 ft (1 m), and gave the aircraft a more level stance than the anti-submarine version.[3] Such were the extensive modifications required that, in December 1954, it was suggested that the AEW version be renamed as the Fairey Albatross, as it was to all intents and purposes a completely different aircraft from its ASW predecessor. As it was, by the time the Gannet AEW was entering service, the ASW version was in the process of being replaced, avoiding any potential confusion.[1]
The prototype Gannet AEW.3 first flew in August 1958, with carrier trials taking place using HMS Centaur in November, and the first production aircraft delivered in December. By August 1959, 700G Naval Air Squadron was formed as the Trials Unit for the new Gannet. This unit put the aircraft through an intensive test programme to make it ready for operation service, a process that lasted until January 1960, at which point the unit was renamed as 'A' Flight of 849 Naval Air Squadron. 849A Flight was then declared operational and was embarked for the first time in HMS Ark Royal.[4] A total of 44 Gannets were ordered for the Royal Navy to replace the Skyraider.

My model is plane XL450 of 764 squadron. It is currently in a museum in Germany.
I really wanted to add the folding wings and motorization to my gannet model. The motor was a HUGE pain to fit in as the battery box is 4 studs wide exactly. I am really happy with the way it turned out and the functionality make its really fun to swoosh.
I am editing more photos right now and will hopefully have them uploaded by tonight and if not then they should be up Tuesday or Wednesday.
Enjoy,

Formerly operated by Thomas Cook Airlines until they went bust, this A321 joined the Transat fleet in January, 2020. That might explain why I didn't recall seeing it at YYJ. Departing for Toronto yesterday afternoon as TS931.
Operating 1Q31, the 10:38hrs from Heaton T&RSMD to Glasgow Queen Street and return, continuing from Newcastle via the coast to Derby RTC. The train is passing through the beautiful station of Chathill, between Alnmouth and Berwick on the north main line.

This former industrial laundry and textile service had been sitting abandoned for more than a decade when the decision was made to demolish it in early 2022.
The place was rotted inside, but hadn’t been vandalized. So I got a chance for some photos of decay without any spray-painted tags in the frame.
Lothian Buses operated Volvo B8L ADL Enviro400 XLB SJ19 OWK - 1074 - is pictured turning on to Princes Street in Edinburgh with a service on route 11 towards Hyvots Bank.
This vehicle wears the Lothian Fleet Of The Future livery in the more curved ADL-specific style to go along with the more curved nature of the ADL's staircase glass.

First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWDI, the aircraft was delivered to ILFC and leased to SAETA (Ecuador) as HC-BUJ in Mar-95. It was returned to the lessor in Nov-99 and immediately leased to America West Airlines as N619AW.
America West was merged into US Airways in Sep-05 and the aircraft continued in service until it was returned to the lessor in Jan-09 and stored. In Jun-09 it was leased to Amsterdam Airlines as PH-AAY.
Amsterdam Airlines ceased operations in Oct-11. The aircraft was returned to the lessor and stored at Dublin, Ireland the following month. It was leased to Astra Airlines as SX-DIO in Apr-12 and painted in this attractive black livery.
The aircraft was returned to the lessor in Nov-16 as N619AW and was permanently retired at Goodyear, AZ, USA. The registration was cancelled in Mar-17. Updated 06-Jul-22.
New Haven Railroad EP-3 motor 0351 with its 14 car passenger train is operating in the snow on the New York Central electrified third rail main line near the station at Woodlawn, New York, 2-23-1936. Woodlawn, New York was the location where New Haven trains that were operating to Grand Central Terminal would change from AC catenary to the New York Central System DC third rail and the reverse situation occurred in the opposite direction.

Norfolk Southern operated Norfolk & Western A class 2-6+6-4 coal burning articulated steam locomotive # 1218, is seen leading while preparing to stop with its Railfan Excursion Train near Harriman, Tennessee, October 1987. When viewing the locomotive you may observe some of cab crew members. In this view you get a feeling for the great size of this locomotive with its tenders being included.

Was stoked to see these images pop up after 6 minutes exposure (360sec).

The Cooperstown & Charlotte Valley operates a heritage railroad and museum along the historic line of the same name first opened in 1869. The original road came under D&H ownership in 1903 and was operated as branch of that Class 1 for 67 years. The branch was sold to the Delaware Otsego Corp in 1970 and freight trains continued to operate into the mid 1980s along with excursion trains. The last freight ran in 1987 and the line was completely moribund until being sold to the Leatherstocking Chapter of the NRHS in 1996. Incidentally, despite selling the branch the Delaware Otsego Corp (parent company of the NYS&W) retained ownership of the passenger depot in Cooperstown where they still maintain their corporate headquarters despite having no rail operations in town.
Despite having been in existence as a tourist railroad for more than two decades I'd never visited the operation. But in a twist of good fortune I made a totally unplanned trip to Binghamton chasing an NS train on the old D&H the day prior to this photo. While out that evening with an old railroader/railfan friend he told me that the CACV just happened to be celebrating the 150th anniversary of the opening of their railroad the very next day.
Based out of the small town of Milford south of Cooperstown they had a full weekend of special events and extra trains. The highlight of the event was the first steam locomotive to traverse these rails since the 1970s and included a bit of rare mileage almost into downtown Cooperstown. The special train was pulled north behind one of the CACV's switchers which then cut away allowing the diminutive steamer to work back south with the train solo. The diesel then followed them back at a safe distance presumably checking for fires along the way. Cooperstown and Charlotte Valley S4 #3051 may be an MLW of CN heritage (blt. Oct 1956) but in this paint on these rails she sure puts on a good disguise as a Delaware & Hudson Alco!
Here they are running light not too far behind the steam special passing the field behind Pop's Place, a popular little ice cream stand on Route 28 about 5 rail miles south of downtown Cooperstown. Oh, and the cannon, it's not a prop. It's a real functioning weapon that someone clearly had used for fun recently as indicated by the singed wads laying near by...a fun toy indeed!
