On this day in 1971 the Erskine Bridge was opened by HRH Princess Anne.

In 2015 I captured this shot of the iconic paddle steamer PS Waverley as she passed under the Erskine Bridge in one of her regular Clyde cruises. She was due to return to operation this summer after essential repairs to her boilers.

Brazilian Gulfstream G650ER backtracking for a runway 06 departure

This image is not meant to be serious, I created this "self-portrait" mostly as a joke, and I must admit that I go over the line in ps sometimes, when I'm bored..I recommend seeing this image with dark background .Thank you for watching

Looking rather neglected and unloved is PS Wingfield Castle, Hartlepool Docks, 20th February 2019. Launched on the 24th September 24th 1934 it was built for the London and North Eastern Railway at Hartlepool by William Gray, for service on the Hull - New Holland ferry service. It was one of three paddler steamers maintaining a year-round service for passengers, cars, and cargo until withdrawn in 1974 following the opening of the Humber Suspension Bridge. Sold a number of times and finally lying derelict in Swansea for a number of years until purchased by Hartlepool Borough Council and returned to Hartlepool in June 1986. Restored as a museum ship it was extensively refurbished again in 2006/07 with the saloon areas converted for use for educational seminars, corporate events etc. However little seems to have been done in recent years to maintain the vessel and it appears to be decaying at an ever faster rate.

PS Waverley is the last seagoing passenger carrying paddle steamer in the world. Built in 1946, she sailed from Craigendoran on the Firth of Clyde to Arrochar on Loch Long until 1973. Bought by the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society (PSPS), she has been restored to her 1947 appearance and now operates passenger excursions around the British coast.

PS Waverley is the last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world. Built in 1946, she sailed from Craigendoran on the Firth of Clyde to Arrochar on Loch Long until 1973.[3] Bought by the Paddle Steamer Preservation Society (PSPS), she has been restored to her 1947 appearance and now operates passenger excursions around the British coast.

Since 2003, Waverley has been listed in the National Historic Fleet by National Historic Ships UK as "a vessel of pre-eminent national importance".

Built in 1896 as the Duke of Devonshire and renamed Consul in 1938 following purchase by Cosens & Co. Seen here at Weymouth in 1956, it was eventually scrapped in 1968.
