Named: "City of Glasgow".
First flown with the deHavilland Canada test registration C-GEOA, this aircraft was delivered to Brymon Airways as G-BRYI in Mar-91. Brymon was merged with Birmingham European Airways to form Brymon European Airways in Nov-92.
It didn't last long, the company was split again in May-93 with the jet aircraft going to Maersk Air UK and the turboprop aircraft being transferred to Brymon Aviation, now owned by British Airways.
The aircraft was operated for British Airways Express by Brymon in full BA livery from Jul-93. In Mar-02, Brymon was merged with another BA franchisee, British Regional Airlines to form British Airways CitiExpress.
The aircraft was sold back to Bombardier Inc as C-FFBG in Jun-05 and was stored at North Bay, ON, Canada. In Mar-06 it was leased to Air Southwest (UK) as G-WOWE. It was briefly wet-leased to Aurigny Air Services (Guernsey, CI, UK) in May/Jun-11.
In Jul-11 Air Southwest was taken over by Eastern Airways (UK). The aircraft was returned to Bombardier Inc in Jan-12 and stored (at Calgary, AB, Canada ?). It was sold to Avmax Aviation Services as C-GRUR in Sep-12 and leased to CMA Central Mountain Air in Nov-12.
It was withdrawn from service in Nov-17 and stored at Calgary, AB, Canada. It was returned to Avmax in Jun-19 and remained stored until it was ferried to Luanda, Angola in early Dec-22. It was leased to Fly Angola as D2-FDX later that month and continues in service.
However, as of 12-Jul-24, the aircraft continues to appear on Flightradar 24 as C-GRUR! I assume the box has never been changed to a new ADSB code... Updated 12-Jul-24.

It returned to the lessor in Dec-95 when it was immediately leased to TEA Cyprus (Trans European Airways) as 5B-DBF. TEA Cyprus wet-leased the aircraft to Pacific Airlines (Asia) the following day. It returned to TEA Cyprus in May-97 and was wet-leased to Air Afrique five days later.
It was returned to TEA Cyprus in Dec-97 and returned to the lessor in Feb-98. It was leased to Winair as N118RW the same month. Winair bought it in Mar-98 but apparently didn't keep up the payments as it was repossessed by the lessor in Jun-99.
In Jul-99 the aircraft was leased to Frontier Airlines. The registration N276FL was reserved by Frontier but wasn't used. It returned to the lessor in Oct-03 and was stored until May-04 when it was leased to Atlantic Airlines de Honduras as HR-ATN. The aircraft was permanently retired at La Ceiba, Honduras in mid 2008.

The New Mexico Photography Field School Landscape Photography Class.
I am deeply grateful to my teacher Craig Varjabedian and his workshop assistant Jay Packer. They were wonderfully skilled guides in helping me to orient myself to the basics of landscape photography. Their understanding and grasp of technical and aesthetic aspects of picture taking and the ineffable mysteries of photography are simply awesome and a delight. www.photofieldschool.com/craig.html
Craig Varjabedian is a fine-art photographer of the lands and peoples of the American West and Southwest and is Director of the Field School. He was born in Canada and began photographing at the age of thirteen. He has subsequently sustained an artistic career spanning over thirty years, which began in earnest in 1971 and involved studies with Phil Davis at the University of Michigan and Paul Caponigro in Santa Fe. Varjabedian’s first one-man show was at the Albuquerque Museum in 1994. Since that time he has been widely exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the United States. Grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Samuel H. Kress Foundation and the McCune Charitable Foundation have been awarded to Varjabedian over the course of his photographic career in recognition of his powerful imagery. His pursuit of an intensely personal vision has culminated in images of moments made extraordinary by light and life. He approaches his subjects receptively, preferring to utilize an intuitive approach rather than arranging forms and recording surface details. In the final analysis, Varjabedian’s photographs allow viewers to share in the authentic experience of an artistic process which celebrates luminous and heartfelt experience.
Upcoming books of his photographs include Four & Twenty Photographs: Stories from Behind the Lens (Spring 2007) and a book on Ghost Ranch (Spring 2008), both with Santa Fe author Robin Jones, which will be available from the University of New Mexico Press. The late Beaumont Newhall, preeminent photographic historian, wrote, “The remarkable photographs by Craig Varjabedian are not only beautiful but also extremely valuable documents of architecture, culture, and lifestyle of Northern New Mexico.”

I took this photo at Ghost Ranch where Georgia O'keefe lived and painted. It is said that she claimed that if she painted a nearby mountain enough times god had told her that it would be hers. She is buried there. This is a spiritually and artistically inspiring awsome place.
Ghost Ranch was part of a land grant to Pedro Martin Serrano from the King of Spain in 1766. The grant was called Piedra Lumbre (shining rock). The name "Ghost Ranch", or the local name Rancho de los Brujos, was derived from the many tales of ghosts and legends of hangings in the Ranch's history.
"When I got to New Mexico, that was mine."
In this way Georgia O'Keeffe described her instant love for Northern New Mexico, a love that lasted the rest of her life. The time was 1917, the event was a trip O'Keeffe and her sister Claudia took to New Mexico and Colorado from their home in Canyon, Texas. Yet it was 12 years before O'Keeffe returned to New Mexico and even longer before she found her way into the beautiful valley that would eventually become her summer home.
In 1929 O'Keeffe went to Taos at the invitation of friends Dorothy Brett and Mabel Dodge Luhan. There she heard of Ghost Ranch and once even caught a tantalizing glimpse of it from a high plain. In 1934 she finally found the ranch but was dismayed to learn that it was a dude ranch owned by Arthur Pack. However, a place was available for her that night in Ghost House and she spent the entire summer at the ranch.
That established a pattern she would follow for years, summers at Ghost Ranch exploring on foot and on canvas the beauty of the place, winters in New York. Because she was basically a "loner," she soon sought Ghost Ranch housing that was somewhat isolated from the headquarters area. Pack offered to rent her his own residence called Rancho de los Burros; this suited her very well. One spring she arrived unexpectedly and found someone else in the house. She demanded to know what those people were doing in her house. When Pack pointed out that it wasn't her house, she insisted that he sell it to her. Thus she became the owner of a very small piece of Ghost Ranch land: a house and 7 acres. (In later years she told a ranch employee doing roadwork near her home, "I wanted enough land to keep a horse - all Arthur would sell me was enough for my sewer!")
But Rancho de los Burros was a summer place and also a desert one. O'Keeffe wanted a garden and a winter home. Eventually, she bought 3 acres in the village of Abiquiu. She spent 3 years remodeling and rebuilding the crumbling adobes before the place was fit for human habitation. After her husband, Alfred Stieglitz, died, O'Keeffe left New York to make Abiquiu her permanent home.
In 1955 Arthur and Phoebe Pack gave Ghost Ranch to the Presbyterian Church. O'Keeffe was aghast. The Packs should have sold her the ranch, she thought, and besides, she never cared much for Presbyterians anyway. Her precious privacy would be gone. However, from the very beginning of this new relationship the Presbyterians respected and tried to preserve the privacy of their famous neighbor. Visitors were told, as they are today, that Rancho de los Burros was on private land with no public access. Gradually her fears were allayed and the relationship grew warmer. Office personnel sometimes did secretarial work for her; Ghost Ranch folks replaced the pump on her well. O'Keeffe became friendly enough with long-time ranch director Jim Hall and his wife Ruth to have Christmas dinner with them.
She made a money gift toward construction of the Hall's retirement home on the ranch. When fire destroyed the headquarters building in 1983, O'Keeffe immediately made a gift of $50,000 and lent her name to a Challenge Fund for the Phoenix campaign which resulted in replacing the headquarters building and adding a Social Center and the Ruth Hall Museum.
During the last few years of her life O'Keeffe was unable to come to Ghost Ranch from Abiquiu. Eventually she moved to Santa Fe where she died in her 99th year, reclusive to the end. "I find people very difficult," she once said.
Ghost Ranch gave her the freedom to paint what she saw and felt. Knowledgeable visitors can look around and identify many of the scenes she painted. Red and gray hills like those across from the roadside park south of the ranch headquarters were frequent subjects. Kitchen Mesa at the upper end of the valley is an example of the red and yellow cliffs she painted many times. Pedernal, the flat-topped mountain to the south, was probably her favorite subject. "It's my private mountain," she frequently said. "God told me if I painted it often enough I could have it." And of course, the Ghost Ranch logo, used on everything from stationery to T-shirts, was adapted from an O'Keeffe drawing.

"Marine scientists have undertaken the difficult task of replacing the beloved starfish’s common name with sea star because, well, the starfish is not a fish. It’s an echinoderm, closely related to sea urchins and sand dollars.
There are some 2,000 species of sea star living in all the world’s oceans, from tropical habitats to the cold seafloor. The five-arm varieties are the most common, hence their name, but species with 10, 20, and even 40 arms exist.
They have bony, calcified skin, which protects them from most predators, and many wear striking colors that camouflage them or scare off potential attackers. Purely marine animals, there are no freshwater sea stars, and only a few live in brackish water.
Beyond their distinctive shape, sea stars are famous for their ability to regenerate limbs, and in some cases, entire bodies. They accomplish this by housing most or all of their vital organs in their arms. Some require the central body to be intact to regenerate, but a few species can grow an entirely new sea star just from a portion of a severed limb.
Most sea stars also have the remarkable ability to consume prey outside their bodies. Using tiny, suction-cupped tube feet, they pry open clams or oysters, and their sack-like cardiac stomach emerges from their mouth and oozes inside the shell. The stomach then envelops the prey to digest it, and finally withdraws back into the body."

It was wet-leased to Tunis Air between May/Dec-75. It was briefly wet-leased to El Al Israel Airlines between Sep/Oct-78. Trans European sold it to ATA American Trans Air in Nov-78 as N8790R.
It was immediately leased to Ambassadair and returned to ATA in May-82. It then went through a procession of 'Affinity Groups' such as the 'Emerald Shillelagh Chowder Marching Society' in May-84 and 'Airfast' in Jun-86.
In Dec-86 it was sold to a 'Samuel Azar'. He sold it to (presumably!) his brother, 'Gab Azer' in Jul-88 and it found itself in Zaire the same month, re-registered 9Q-CFT with Fontshi Aviation Service.
By now the aircraft was 28 years old, a great age for an early turbo-jet Boeing 720. It continued in service until Oct-90 when it was involved in a runway over-run at Mbuji-Maji, Zaire (I'm unable to find further details). It never flew again and was stored at Mbuji where it remained. It was photographed still at Mbuji in Feb-06, derelict but intact and complete with engines. It's thought to have been broken up in mid 2011.

Metroline's DE1670 (YX09AFA) is seen in South Harrow on the 487. I took a ride on this, and it was awful. It wouldn't even climb a hill. Also the route is crowded - does the route need double deck vehicles? Post your opinions in the comments.
Taken in about 1960
Charing Cross station on a bright sunny day in around 1960, with EPB stock in some of the platforms..
The station roof seen here was not the original, but was a replacement design, constructed after the first roof started to collapse, in 1905.
This roof was replaced between 1986 and 1990, and today (2025) the EPBs have all gone, and there are offices and restaurants on top of the station.

Not long for this world….
Shortly before the sale of First Scotland East to the McGill’s Group, First had been ‘updating’ the Midland fleet, replacing older buses with marginally newer Volvo B7RLEs. It included buses such as 2265 (MX56AEA) which was numbered 69192 under First. The Manchester registration reveals that this was a former First Manchester bus, which passed to Rotala owned Diamond Bus North West, when it acquired part of First Manchester. First allowed these buses to be used on loan by Rotala to allow it time to source new buses. Those new buses subsequently secured, the loaned fleet was returned to First, who promptly distributed amongst its fleet.
Most of these Volvo B7RLES went into various fleets as training buses but some, such as this bus, went into front line service, which probably says a lot for the state of the Midland Bluebird fleet at the time.
However McGill’s has now begun the update of its newly inherited fleet, which will see a number of former First buses withdrawn. With the introduction of new electric buses in Inverclyde, it’s set up a series of cascades which will see more modern diesel buses move from McGill’s. This has now started with Volvo B7RLE/Wright Eclipse 2s, Mercedes-Benz Citaros and Alexander Dennis Enviro 200s moving across, all of which retain McGill’s livery at present.
An article in Coach and Bus Weekly this week (W/C 5 March 2023) also reveals that 20 Alexander Dennis Enviro 400s, new in 2012 to London, are under refurbishment, losing their central doors, and will enter service shortly, these being the first buses to wear the new Midland Bluebird and Eastern Scottish liveries.

It was wet-leased to Novair Sweden in Nov-07 and returned to Orbest in Apr-08. The winter wet-lease to Novair Sweden was repeated between Oct-08 / Apr-09 and again between Oct-09 / Apr-10.
The aircraft was sub-leased, long term, to Air Europa as EC-LKE in Dec-10. It was returned to Orbest in Jul-12 with a recurring technical problem. It was withdrawn from service and stored at Lisbon, Portugal.
Using Airbus flight numbers the aircraft was returned to Airbus at Toulouse in Sep-12 for some spannering and a few test flights before returning to Orbest at Madrid in late Oct-12. Whatever the problem was, it was still there and the aircraft ferried back to Airbus at Toulouse three days later.
After some hangar time and multiple test flights with Airbus it returned to Orbest in Dec-12. It must have been OK as it was wet-leased to Turkish Airlines in Jan-13. It wasn't with Turkish for long as Orbest ceased operations on 14-Feb-13 and Turkish Airlines returned it direct to the CIT Aerospace.
It was parked at Istanbul and re-registered EC-LVL in Mar-13. It was leased to Air Europa at the end of Apr-13. The aircraft was withdrawn from service and stored at Palma, Mallorca, Spain in Mar-20 at the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
It was ferried to Hondo, TX, USA in early Nov-20 and returned to the lessor as OE-IRD. Four years on it's now 22.5 years old and still stored at Hondo and is quite possibly permanently retired. Updated 18-Dec-24.
The Tu144D was an upgrade of the Tu144 SST design. The main difference were the Kolesov RD-36-51 turbojets which replaced the Kusnetsov NK-144 turbofans used on the earlier production models. The picture shows the engine pods from below.
For subsonic aircraft, turbofans are usually far more efficient than turbojets, but for SSTs, this is not so. The Kolesov turbojets were capable of supercruise (not requiring fuel-guzzling afterburners in sustained supersonic flight). The resulting dramatic improvement in fuel consumption increased the range with full payload 5300 km, up from 3800 km for the Kusnetsov-turbofan-powered models.
Even the increased range was however still far less than that of the Concorde, which incidentally also uses turbojets. And the range deficiency was only one of the problems with the 144's design.

A difficult history. This aircraft was delivered to Irish Aerospace and leased to LAC Lineas Aereas Canarias with the temporary Spanish registration EC-101 in Oct-87, it became EC-EFU the following month.
In Oct-89 the aircraft was sold to the Girocredit Bank while the lease to LAC continued. It was re-registered with another temporary registration, EC-348 and became EC-EFU again in Dec-89 (See note below). In Mar-91 LAC was merged into Meridiana Air.
They didn't do any better and the aircraft was repossessed by the Girocredit Bank in Nov-92. It was sold to the First Security Bank of Utah (FSBU) as N574PJ in Dec-92 and leased to Private Jet Expeditions (USA) the same day.
It was returned to the lessor in Apr-94 and sold to the General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC, eventually to became GECAS) six days later when it was immediately leased to Spanair (Spain) with the temporary registration EC-591. It was re-registered EC-FVR in Jul-94.
The aircraft was sold to Finnair O/Y (Finland) in Aug-95 while the lease to Spanair continued. It returned to Finnair as OH-LPF in Apr-97. The aircraft was returned to Finnair Aircraft Finance in Mar-04 and leased to Nordic Airlink (Sweden) as SE-RDV a week later.
The aircraft was sold to Allegiant Air (USA) in Apr-08 and Nordic Airlink was merged into Norwegian Air Shuttle four days later. It continued in service until it was returned to Allegiant Air in Sep-09. It was re-registered N409NV in Oct-09.
The aircraft was permanently retired at Opa Locka, FL, USA in Sep-18 after 31 years in service. It was sold to Odyssey Leasing LLC and was later broken up at Opa Locka. A history I sort-of wish I'd never started... Updated Mar-21.
Note: The bureaucracy in General Franco's Spain was completely top-heavy. If an airline wanted to import an aircraft into Spain, it had to have a temporary registration before receiving a permanent registration. Each time the aircraft changed owners or was transferred to another Spanish airline, they had to go through the same procedure all over again, usually with a new permanent registration as well (I was a bit surprised to see that this aircraft managed to retain EC-EFU the second time around). If Spanish airlines were buying a fleet of new aircraft they couldn't reserve a block of consecutive registrations - they still can't do that today, registrations are issued strictly in alphabetical order at the time of import. General Franco died in 1975 after 36 years in power, but it was the late 1990's before the temporary registration process was finally abandoned.

An early build aircraft (Line No:10), this was originally built as a Tristar 1 and delivered to Eastern Air Lines as N309EA in Jul-72. It was leased to TWA Trans World Airlines between Apr/Oct-73 and again between Apr/Oct-74.
The aircraft was sold to a lessor in Oct-88 and converted to Tristar 150 standard. It was leased to Air Transat as C-FTNB in Apr-89. After 27 years in service the aircraft was permanently retired at Marana, AZ, USA in May-99 and subsequently broken up at Marana in Apr-01.
Note: The registration C-FTNB was previously used on an Air Canada Tristar 1 between Jan-73/Nov-86. It later joined Air Transat as C-GTSK in Oct-96.

Sheffield Old Town Hall stands on Waingate in central Sheffield, England, opposite Castle Market.
The building was commissioned to replace Sheffield's first town hall, which had opened in 1700 to a design by William Renny.[1] This first structure stood by the parish church, on a site with little prospect for extension.[2]
The Old Town Hall was built in 1807–8 by Charles Watson, and was designed to house not only the Town Trustees but also the Petty and Quarter Sessions. The initial building was a five-bay structure fronting Castle Street, but it was extended in 1833 and again in 1866 by William Flockton (1804–1864) of Sheffield and his partner for the project, Abbott; the most prominent feature was the new central clock tower over a new main entrance that reoriented the building to Waingate. At the same time, the building's courtrooms were linked by underground passages to the neighbouring Sheffield Police Offices.[2]
Waingate in 1857: the Old Town Hall with its first clock tower on the left
The first Town Council was elected in 1843 and took over the lease of the Town Trustees' hall in 1866. The following year, the building was extensively renovated, with a clock tower designed by Flockton & Abbott being added.[2]
By the 1890s, the building had again become too small, and the current Sheffield Town Hall was built further south. The Old Town Hall was again extended in 1896–97, by the renamed Flockton, Gibbs & Flockton, and became Sheffield Crown Court and Sheffield High Court. In the 1990s, these courts moved to new premises, and since at least 1997 to present, the building remains disused.[2]
In 2007, it was named by the Victorian Society as one of their top ten buildings most at-risk
