Bus is part of 165 buses order that is 6 months late being delivery and just starting to arrive and enter service. Will replace 0300's, 0500's, 0600's and some 0700's that are past their 15 year retirement.
Only system in the world that block off seats with no protection in front of them.
The kit and its assembly:
This is a whif, but the Nanchang Q-6 was actually developed until 1989 – even though it never entered any service. It was over-ambitious and a dead end, overtaken by technological advances and the fact that Chinese development used to take decades rather than years.
Anyway, the Q-6 actually looked as if someone had glued the nose and air intake of a F-16 onto a MiG-23/27 fuselage - weird, but cool, so why not try this at home?
Like many kitbashing things, what sounds simple turned out to be a bit tricky in detail, even though the surgery was finally easier than expected. The model basis is pretty simple: I took an Academy MiG-27, sawed off the fuselage in the wing roots area (about 1cm, the cockpit section is an extra fuselage section), and did the same with an Italeri F-16 nose section, right behind the cockpit, where the front wheel well ends. The top insert for the single seater was left a bit longer, so that it would overlap with the MiG-23/27 spine.
When you fit these parts together, height is almost perfect, even the wing root/LERX angles match, but there are gaps left on the flanks where the original MiG-27 air intakes would be. These have to be covered, what creates lines reminiscent of the respective area on a MRCA Tornado. Furthermore, the spine behind the cockpit has to be sculpted, too.
Furthermore, the wing root levels of the MiG-23/27 and the F-16 did not match - they have a difference in height of about 4mm on the model, and this was the biggest challenge.
In order to compensate for this problem on my model, any LERX sign was removed from the F-16 nose. Inside of the F-16 section, a column was added that supports the rear upper half of the front fuselage, since the flanks had to go almost completely.
On the outside, the necessary intersections/extensions sculpted new with 2C putty, extending the MiG-23/27 lines forward. The final surface finish was done with NC putty. This major surgery was less complicated than expected - lots of work, though, but feasible.
The new front section with its blended fuselage/LERX area around the cockpit reminds surprisingly much of the MiG-29? As a side note: when you look at CG simulations of this aircraft, this area is a frequent field of trial and error. You find unconclusive, if not impossible designs.
Other changes include a less modern canopy from a MiG-21 (I think it comes from an Academy MiG-21F kit), which was more tricky to fit onto the original F-16 canopy than the LERX stuff. The F-16 canopy looked just too modern for my taste. An old Airfix pilot figure was added, too.
Another new feature is a new jet pipe, a J-79 nozzle from an Italeri Kfir that fits perfectly into the rear fuselage, and the fin. The latter was taken as a leftover part from my recent CF-151A project and comes from a 1:144 scale Tu-22M bomber (Dragon). It's higher, but less deep, and I thought that a slightly different shape and more area would be suitable for an attack aircraft. For the same reason the single, foldable stabilizer fin under the rear fuselage was replaced by two fixed strakes (from the F-16). Small details, but they change the look and make the aircraft appear more simple.
The landing gear was taken from the MiG-27, the front wheel strut had to be slightly shortened due to the reduced wheelbase on the Q-6.
The ordnance was puzzled together – according to current BAF weapons in use. I went for unguided missiles (taken from the Academy MiG-27 donation kit) and some 100kg iron bombs, leftover from a Trumpeter Il-28 bomber kit. These were arranged under the wing roots on improvised tandem MERs.
I did not even try to engrave new panel lines on the new front section - actually, almost the whole upper surface is featureless since it was made with putty. But bot 2C and NC putty are pretty touchy to drilling or engraving (as the rather fruitless attempt to drill open cavities for the two guns proved...), so I decided to just use paint effects.
This is a photograph from the 3rd Annual Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races hosted by Bohermeen AC on the 2nd March 2014 at 12:00 at Bohermeen, Ardbraccan, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland. This year's event included a 10KM race which replaced the 5KM event held on the previous years. This event has grown quickly in popularity over the past few years with this year's entry of 700 beating the previous race numbers of 680. This half marathon event is perfectly placed in the Irish running calendar as it provides runners of all levels and abilities an opportunity to test the half marathon distance in preparation for a Spring Marathon or as the first serious running goal of the New Year. Bohermeen AC is steeped in Irish athletics history since 1927 and it is this experience and exceptional community spirit and volunteering which has made this event today so successful. The very heavy rain that fell on the 10KM race and the begining of the Half Marathon did nothing to dampen the spirits of the participants. In fact, despite a head wind at certain parts of the course, this was a perfect day for road racing.
Our full set of photographs from today's event are available on Flickr at the following link http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157641717197563/. This set of photographs is mostly of the Half Marathon race but there are some from the 10KM event.

The routing for the 2014 event has changed slightly from previous year. In 2014 the race starts about 100m away from the Bohermeen Club Race HQ [See Google StreetView in the direction of the imagery goo.gl/maps/rtj1X] and the race proceeds down the road towards Navan. Just before the 1st mile the race takes a right turn [see Google Streetview goo.gl/maps/iGrR0] which brings runners on the route of the famous Patrick Bell 5KM Road Race route held at Bohermeen every summer. Then the route turns slightly eastwards and this brings the race along a beautiful stretch of rural countryside road. This connects runners with the main loop [see Google StreetView goo.gl/maps/gLI1l] where the race follows the N51 towards Navan. The race must now complete this loop (which passes through the start area and past the finish) and then a full loop again before finishing in the Athletics track. The only hills to speak of in this course are on the the stretch where the race route crosses the M3 motorway (see Google Streetview - as of March 2014 their imagery is a little out of date for the M3 goo.gl/maps/tcdJX). The only major climb on the course must be tackled twice as the road rises up over the M3 Motorway. This comes at about the 5M and 11.5 Mile mark in the race.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

We are replacing the door and window on the left with three lovely new windows that will let a ton of light into our kitchen and be high enough that I can put in bottom cabinets and a counter on that side. The railing, light post, and stone stairs will be removed and we will use the stone for stairs on the other side of the house.
Nothing scary or unexpected on this side of the house. Foundation looks good.
As seems to always be the case, there was a cat skeleton under the porch. You can look if you like. Don't complain to me if you look and are sorry!

Operated for British Airways by franchise partner GB Airways.
First flown with the Airbus test registration D-AVZC, this aircraft was delivered to British Airways in full livery as G-TTIB in Feb-01. It was sold on delivery to GECAS and transferred to British Airways franchise partner, GB Airways, who then operated it on behalf of British Airways.
The aircraft returned to the lessor at the end of Jan-08, just prior to GB Airways being taken over by easyJet. It was leased to Monarch Airlines the following month as G-OZBP. The aircraft was returned to the lessor in Jan-15 and in Mar-15 it was leased to Aegean Airlines as SX-DGT.
It was stored at Athens, Greece in Oct-23 and returned to service in Mar-24. In Oct-24 the aircraft was withdrawn from service and in Nov-24 it was ferried to St. Athan, Wales, UK, returned to the lessor and permanently retired. The registration LY-BPA was assigned in early 2025 but I'm not sure if it was ever applied to the aircraft.
I also have photo's of this aircraft with Monarch Airlines and Aegean Airlines at...
The Grumman EA-6B Prowler was developed primarily to replace older electronic warfare aircraft in US Navy service, namely the EKA-3B Skywarrior, as well as in response to the growing lethality of Eastern Bloc electronic threats. Initially, the ALQ-99 electronics suite was installed in a standard A-6 Intruder airframe as the EA-6A, but the aircraft was somewhat limited and workload was heavier for a two-man crew, especially in combat. EA-6As did see combat in Vietnam with the US Marine Corps, but something better was clearly needed. The result was the lengthened EA-6B Prowler, which upgraded the electronics suite considerably and also added two more crewmembers to reduce workload and increase effectiveness. The EA-6B first flew in May 1968, and entered US Navy and Marine service in 1971, just too late for service in Vietnam.
The ALQ-99 system is divided between several antennae on the aircraft, including the distinctive “football” antenna at the top of the tail. Most of the noise jammers are in the three or five underwing pods the Prowler almost always carries, though in the case of a three-pod arrangement, often antiradar missiles such as the AGM-88 HARM. It can also be used as an Elint aircraft.
Continually updated over its life, the EA-6B saw action in both Gulf Wars, Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Kosovo; in service over the Middle East, the Prowler proved effective in jamming IED detonation signals. With the retirement of the USAF’s EF-111 Ravens, the EA-6B is now the sole ECM aircraft in US service, further contributing to the overwork of the aircraft, and has often been the only ECM aircraft available in NATO operations as well. The last of the A-6 family in service, the Prowlers were replaced by the EF-18G Growler, and the last was retired around 2016.
Surprisingly for the last operational Prowler in service, the history of BuNo 163890 is hard to find. It joined the Navy sometime in the 1980s, and served with both VAQ-134 ("Garudas") and VAQ-135 ("Black Ravens") during its career, home-ported at NAS Whidbey Island, Washington. It saw combat in the Second Gulf War over Iraq between 2003 and 2015, Afghanistan, and possibly the First Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm) in 1991 as well. Its last at-sea deployment was with VAQ-134 on the USS George HW Bush (CVN-77). In 2015, it made the last flight of an operational EA-6B, leaving Whidbey Island for Point Mugu, California.
Today, 163890 is on display at the Point Mugu Missile Park, and is maintained in excellent condition. I saw it in June 2023.
The Chapel of the Trinity was built at the end of the reign of Francis I to replace the old chapel of the convent of the Trinitaires. It was finished under Henry II, but was without decoration until 1608.
The paintings of Freminet in the central vaults depict the redemption of Man, from the appearance of God to Noah at the launching of the Ark (Over the tribune) to the Annunciation. They surrounded these with smaller paintings depicting the ancestors of the Virgin Mary, the Kings of Judah, the Patriarchs announcing the coming of Christ, and the Virtues.
The Trinity chapel, like Sainte-Chapelle in Paris other royal chapels, had an upper section or tribune, where the King and his family sat, with a separate entrance; and a lower part, where the rest of the Court was placed. Beginning in 1628, the side chapels were decorated with iron gates and carved wood panelling, and the Florentine sculptor Francesco Bordoni began work on the marble altar. The figure to the left depicts Charlemagne, with the features of Henry II, while the figure on the right depicts Louis IX, or Saint Louis, with the features of Louis XIII, his patron.
Under Napoleon, the old tabernacle of the chapel, which had been removed during the Revolution, was replaced by a new one designed by the architect Maximilien Hurtault. Beginning in 1824, the chapel underwent a program of major renovation and restoration that lasted for six years. The twelve paintings of the life of Christ were removed, as well as the gates to the side chapels. During the Second Empire, the wood panelling of side chapels was replaced. The restoration was not completed until the second half of the 20th century, when the twelve paintings, which had been scattered to different museums, were brought together again and restored in their stucco frames.
On 5 September 1725, the chapel was the setting for the wedding of Louis XV and Marie Leszczynska. Napoleon III was baptized there on 4 November 1810, and Ferdinand-Philippe d'Orleans, the son of King Louis-Philippe, was married there to Helene de Mecklembourg Schwerin on 30 May 1837. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Fontainebleau#The_Ch.C3.A...

1907 postmarked postcard view of the south side of the courthouse square in Bedford, Indiana. This view was looking east along Sixteenth Street from the J Street intersection.
The character of this block changed in the period between 1904 and 1910 when two Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets were published. In 1904, five saloons were located in this block. Four of them were in the east half of the block at 900, 904, 906 and 914 Sixteenth Street. The fifth was at 924 Sixteenth Street. All were gone by 1910.
The small two-story brick building on the corner at I Street (900-02 Sixteenth Street) was replaced with a new two-story building after 1904 and before this photograph was taken. The new building had a stone façade. A clothing store occupied that newer building (900 Sixteenth Street) when the 1910 Sanborn™ map set was being prepared.
Business signs in this view identify several of the businesses in existence when this photograph was taken in 1907 or earlier. Beginning near the east end of the block, the round sign appears to be in front of the building at 906 Sixteenth Street with the stone façade. That was the location of one of the saloons in 1904 and a soft drinks business in 1910. The first readable sign was the HOT & COLD BATHS sign that appears to be at 910 Sixteenth Street. However, both the 1904 and the 1910 Sanborn™ map sets show a boots and shoes business at that address. Partially hidden by the baths sign was a sign advertising a DENTIST. It may have been J. G. Hogan. Another sign, below the baths sign, advertised the office of DOCTOR ______. A little farther west, the DRUGS and NEWS DEPOT signs identified the location of the drug store at 912 Sixteenth Street. The 1904 map set shows a drug and stationery store at that address while the 1910 map set shows simply a drug store.
The oval sign west of the drug store at 914 Sixteenth Street appears to read WALKER RYE. In 1904, one of the saloons was located at that location. By 1910, a bakery had moved into the building. A tall, decorated post at the curb in front of that building probably advertised the location of the barbershop at 916 Sixteenth Street.
Farther west, the RESTAURANT sign was at 922 Sixteenth Street, but the address changed to 924 Sixteenth Street by 1910). The restaurant was identified in the 1910 Sanborn™ map set, but the 1904 set shows a novelties store at that location. Next door, the round sign advertised GERMAN HOUSE RYE and identified the location of the saloon at 924 Sixteenth Street. The GEO. W. HAY sign advertised a store at 926 Sixteenth Street. A clothing store was at that location in 1904 and in 1910. The container on the sidewalk in front of that store has UNION printed on it.
The sign on the building west of the Hay store advertised the ADES store. Both Sanborn™ map sets show a clothing store at this address. There was a stairway between the Hay and Ades stores leading to the second floor. A sign posted above the Hay store advertised S. B. LOWE. Another sign, S. B. LOWE LAW OFFICE, was reflected in the Ades display window next to that stairway.
The large DRUGS sign advertised the OWL DRUG STORE on the corner (930 Sixteenth Street). The 1904 Sanborn™ map set shows this as a drug and jewelry store. Signs mounted on the utility pole at the curb in front of the drug store advertised AT&T LOCAL AND LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE, HARRISON'S TOWN & COUNTRY PAINT and KODAKS. Signs painted on a display window advertised SODA WATER and STICKNEY's SEGARS. A sign below that window advertised DR. A. C. DANIELS MEDICINES. Signs below the windows on either side of the store entrance advertised STICKNEY’S NEW TARIFF CIGAR and STICKNEY’S CHANCELLOR CIGAR.
This photograph appears to show a stairway between the drug store and the Ades clothing store. However, neither the 1904 nor the 1910 map set shows the stairway. The signs at that stairway advertised THE CLIMAX STONE CO., M. OBRIEN REAL ESTATE LOANS and INSURANCE, and the NORTON BLUESTONE CO. All of these were presumably located upstairs. The name C. S. NORTON BLUE STONE DARK ______ was painted on a window above the drug store.

The Hants CC bus cuts from 4th January 2015 see the Fleet Buzz 30/31 (Basingstoke - Farnborough, Farnborough - Frimley Park Hospital) withdrawn.
Basingstoke - Hook - Odiham and RAF Odiham is replaced by Stagecoach Basingstoke route 13 being diverted the long way around via Hook and Odiham between Basingstoke and Alton. Some peak time journeys on route 10 (Basingstoke - Old Basing) will extend to Hook and Odiham to fill gaps, also. Only the 10 will drive into RAF Odiham however, 13s will stop on the main road outside. Neither route will serve Odiham High Street, like the current 30.
Odiham High Street - Crondall - Zebon Copse will have no bus service (Zebon Copse a large estate in Fleet which currently has a half hourly service).
Crookham - Fleet is covered by the 72, which will do a sort of compromise loop thing, to take in areas the 30 is withdrawn from, but only driving through the middle rather than serving any of it.
Fleet High Street - rail station - Ancell's Farm - Farnborough is replaced by the 72 being diverted from Fleet to Farnborough intstead of Aldershot. The 72 won't serve Minley Estate though, this will be covered by the 9 (new, Farnborough circular via Southwood and Minley Estate).
~~~~~~~~~~
The 31 between Farnborough and Frimley Park Hospital is withdrawn without replacement (bar a small section along Highgate Lane replaced by the 41 being re-routed).
I have finally sussed the confusion with the 30/31 e-plates in Frimley. They should all be 31 (the 30s terminate in Farnborough and change number to 31 there), but what's actually happened is that the stops towards the hospital show 30, and the stops away from the hospital show 31 (and the stop at the hospital has both!).
Here's the stop on Portsmouth Road (the main road between Frimley High Street and the hospital), correctly showing 31 (away from hospital).

Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 25-Dec-24.
Leased from Lauda Air and operated for Lufthansa by Condor Flugdienst with this 'colour reversal' tail livery.
This aircraft was delivered to Lauda Air as OE-LAZ in Aug-99. Lauda Air was taken over by Austrian Airlines in Dec-00 but continued to operate as a separate entity until it was officially merged into Austrian in Apr-05.
The aircraft was leased to Lufthansa in Mar-03 and repainted in full 'Star Alliance' livery. It was re-registered D-ABUW in Apr-03 and operated for Lufthansa by Condor Flugdienst.
It was returned to Lauda Air on Oct-04 and they were merged into Austrian Airlines in Apr-05 and initially operated ex Lauda charter services. Blended Winglets were added in May-09.
In Jul-12 after a number of strikes in various areas, Austrian transferred all its aircraft to Tyrolean Airways and staff had to re-apply for positions with Tyrolean. The airline continued to operate as Austrian Airlines with additional small 'Operated by Tyrolean Airways' titles.
.In Mar-15 a new labour agreement was signed with the Unions and Tyrolean Airways was re-integrated into Austrian Airlines. Now 25 years old the aircraft continues in service. Updated 25-Dec-24.

The moquette and grab handles date back to one of its former operators, First Capital Connect. Which subsequently has become Govia Thameslink Railway, who is gradually replacing its 319s with 700s.
Replacing an earlier scanned photo with (slightly) better version 11-Jun-16. Sadly, a bit grainy...
The undercarriage is just starting to retract so I'm guessing he was doing a training go-around.
Delivered to the Royal Air Force in Jun-91 as ZH105, an E-3A. Sadly, some of the E-3's were withdrawn from service some time ago and I've read somewhere that ZH105 was used for spares.
San Sebastiano fuori le mura (Saint Sebastian outside the walls), or San Sebastiano ad Catacumbas (Saint Sebastian at the Catacombs), is a basilica in Rome, central Italy. Up to the Great Jubilee of 2000, San Sebastiano was one of the Seven Pilgrim Churches of Rome, and many pilgrims still favor the traditional list (not least perhaps because of the Catacombs, and because the Santuario della Madonna del Divino Amore, which replaced it in the list, is farther from the inner city).

Alternative Layouts for the Same Site: Seven streets of the original New York grid were replaced with four crescents and numerous pedestrian paths: This choice transformed the area into an urban oasis.
=======================================================
---New York’s Pioneer Fused Grid--
More than a century after the Commissioners laid out the New York grid, a new, visionary network layout was built in downtown Manhattan – the Stuyvesant town Fused Grid (see this photostream, fusedgrid dot ca and Wiki). Though it had no label in 1947, it anticipated and put in practice all the principles that are now prominent in responding to contemporary city issues: Less asphalt more green, less driving more walking, lower speed more relaxing, less concrete more nature, less tension more restoration, less outflow more natural absorption and more opportunities for casual social interaction, exercise and children’s free play.
These advantages come at lower capital and maintenance costs in road infrastructure

For more visual examples of the Fused Grid concept see Albums: 3-d Models, Neighborhood layouts and conventional-grid- to- fused-grid transformations.
For an explanation of the model look up: Fused Grid in Wikipedia.
We arrived at Piazza del Duomo by bus in Orvieto, and it started to rain here.
The cathedral basilica of Santa Maria Assunta is the main place of Catholic worship in Orvieto , in the province of Terni , the mother church of the diocese of Orvieto-Todi and a masterpiece of Gothic architecture in Central Italy . In January 1889 Pope Leo XIII elevated it to the dignity of a minor basilica . It is an Italian national monument .
The construction of the church was started in 1290 by the will of Pope Nicholas IV with the intention of creating a single large cathedral for the city to replace the two churches that pre-existed on the square (the episcopal church of S. Maria and the parish church of St. Costanzo). Although it is true that the church houses the Corporal of the miracle of Bolsena , the theory according to which the miracle was the propitiatory event to start its construction is not true. Designed in Romanesque style by an unknown artist (probably Arnolfo di Cambio ), the direction of the works was initially entrusted to Fra Bevignate from Perugiawho was soon succeeded, before the end of the century, by Giovanni di Uguccione, who introduced the first Gothic forms. In the early fourteenth century the Sienese sculptor and architect Lorenzo Maitani assumed the role of master builder of the work.
The latter enlarged the apse and the transept in Gothic forms and determined, although not completing it, the appearance of the façade as it still appears today. When Maitani died in 1330 , the works were far from finished. The role of master builder was assumed by various architects-sculptors who followed one another over the years, often for short periods. In 1350 - 1356 the Chapel of the Corporal was built. In 1408 - 1444 the Chapel of San Brizio was built , frescoed however only later ( 1447 - 1504 ). Even the works on the façade lasted over the years, until they were completed only in the second half of the1500 by Ippolito Scalza , who built three of the facade's four spiers .

BAC Jet Provost T.5
Royal Air Force
"Clasic Jets"
RIAT Fairford
During the mid-1960s the RAF increased its emphasis on high-altitude training,and this showed up a weakness in the Jet Provost T.4. The aircraft were notpressurized placing severe physical strain on the aircrews.
In 1964 Hunting-Percival then being a part of BAC (British Aircraft Corporation)responded to this problem and began work on a new pressurized version as a privateventure. The company utilised the last two T.4s of the large RAF order placedpreviously (XS230 and XS231) and began to convert these into the prototypesfor the new version, the Jet Provost Mk.5.
Following three years of work, which began at Luton but was moved to BAC'sWarton factory in 1966, the prototype T5 XS230 undertook its first flight on28 February 1967. Powered by the Rolls Royce Viper 201, the same as used inthe T.4, XS230 looked cosmetically different from its T.4 sisters. The cockpithood was re-designed and the front fuselage took on a more bulbous shape toaccommodate the necessary pressurized cockpit. The canopy slid upwards at anangle, instead of back, the wings were strengthened to carry bigger tip tanks,and a new improved cockpit avionics package was installed. Sister prototypeXS231 was built to identical standards, but was fitted with a more powerfulViper engine, capable of 3000lbs of thrust, and was placed on the UK civil registeras G-ATAJ. Both the aircraft were sent to Boscombe Down for tests and evaluationby the MoD.
The first production example was XW287 and it was the first T.5 to enter RAFservice, being handed over to the Central Flying School based at RAF LittleRissington on 3 September 1969. The T5 then went on to replace the remainderof Provost T4's then still in Service.
In 1988 the RAF made a final decision on the Jet Provost's replacement, theShorts Tucano T.1, a turboprop aircraft. This initiated the winding down ofthe RAF Jet Provost fleet, but it took some time before the last example wasfinally retired from the training syllabus. 6FTS and 1FTS were the last to retiretheir Jet Provosts. The 20th September 1993 the curtain was finally broughtdown on the Jet Provost's RAF career. It spanned some 38 years, saw 500 examplesbeing produced and helped earn the flying wings of hundreds of trainee pilots.
Jet Provost T5 XW325 spent the majority of her service career at RAF Finningleyas a NavEx trainer. After sale by the RAF XW325 was purchased by Global aviationand transferred to Humberside Airport, where she was civilianised and issuedwith a CAA Permit to Fly. After several owners XW325 was purchased by NEWMACand hangared and is now maintained by Horizon Aircraft Services at MoD St Athan.XW325 has recently been repainted into her original 6FTS marking's. This aircraftis available for airshows and flight training.
Newport cemetery in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
A cemetery on the east side of Newport. It replaced St Nicholas Church Cemetery on the corner of Newport and Church Lane and a small plot behind the church of St Nicholas and St John. Consecration took place in 1855.
Initially one acre immediately to the east of the church, it expanded into the large plot to the east as far east as Bruce Road in around 1900. One such addition was consecrated in December 1869. An entrance road to the cemetery was made in 1857 on the south side of the church. The path from Newport south of Willsons Cottages was opened up in 1950. Contains WW1 and WW2 war graves and a memorial cross.
Built in 1923, this Renaissance Revival-style twenty-story skyscraper was designed by George B. Post and Sons to house the Buffalo Statler Hotel, part of the Statler Hotel chain that was headquartered in Buffalo. The second permanent hotel that the Statler family built in Buffalo, the building replaced an earlier hotel that stood on the site, housed in the former Millard Fillmore mansion, known as the Castle Inn, and an earlier flagship Statler Hotel, which was built in 1907, and located at the southeast corner of Swan Street and Washington Street in a building that was heavily influenced by the nearby Guaranty Building. Ellsworth Milton Statler, whom owned the business, had started in the hospitality industry with a restaurant in the basement of the Ellicott Square building in 1896, expanding with a 2,000-room temporary hotel at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, and a 2,200 room hotel at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, which were so successful that Statler, a former bellhop, decided to re-enter the Hotel business permanently. The present building was the flagship hotel for the chain, which was based in Buffalo, but had hotels all around the United States, which featured amenities that are commonly expected today, including private bathrooms, telephones in each room, and free stationery and newspapers, and were priced at a moderate cost for more average travelers, rather than being targeted at wealthy clientele. Statler also wanted to attract the city’s elite to his establishment, and thus bought the nearby Iroquois Hotel, a longstanding center of social life for Buffalo’s elite and business class, in 1923, and closed it a day after his new hotel opened. Arguably, the original Hotel Statler was more architecturally significant, as it was one of the largest ever Art Nouveau buildings constructed in the United States, and featured a far more unique and distinctive interior and exterior, as well as being the first hotel to have all the innovative features that Statler became known for. Like the similarly significant Larkin Building, however, the original Statler Hotel Buffalo was demolished in 1968 to make way for a “shovel-ready” development site, with no regard for the non-monetary value of the building. Private development never materialized on the site, and it sat as a barren parking lot until a baseball stadium and plaza were built on the site in the late 20th Century.
The building features a tripartite composition, with a four-story base, which extends to the rear (east) of the tower along Genesee Street and Mohawk Street to Franklin Street, which contains many of the hotel’s major public spaces, including meeting rooms, ballrooms, lobbies, and retail spaces. Above the base rises a tower, twenty stories tall and E-shaped, with two light wells on the western side of the building that extend deep into the block to the east, with a largely unadorned red brick-clad section between the sill line of the windows on the sixth floor to the sill line of the windows on the eighteenth floor, forming the “shaft” of the composition. At the top is a more richly detailed three-story section of the building, forming the “capital” of the composition, drawing the eye upwards and emphasizing the verticality of the building. The first floor is clad in stone with rustication, with the second and third floors sharing large window bays with decorative surrounds, which include decorative keystones, broken pediments with cartouches, triple arched window openings flanked by doric pilasters and recessed niches on the western facade, paired arched windows facing Niagara Square, separated by doric pilasters, and smaller windows at the east end of the building along Franklin Street and Mohawk Street. Above the arched window bays are low-slope roofs enclosed by decorative balustrades, with smaller window openings on the fourth floor featuring decorative stone trim, with the window bays around the perimeter of the base of the tower portion of the building being flanked by doric pilasters, with an architrave with triglyphs and decorative reliefs above the pilasters, and a cornice featuring modillions running around the sill line of the fifth floor windows, marking the base of the transition from the base to the shaft. The fifth floor features windows with decorative surrounds and keystones with busts, and is topped with a cornice, which is the last strong horizontal datum before the building becomes an unadorned brick shaft for the next twelve floors. The building features double-hung and fixed windows, some of which are original, and others of which are replacements, with two-over-two windows being predominant between the sixth and eighteenth floors. On the eighteenth floor, the sill line of the windows is a line of stone belt coursing, with decorative window trim at the window openings, and a cornice with dentils above the windows, originally extending further out from the facade, but having been chiseled away due to structural issues in the late 20th Century. The nineteenth and twentieth floors feature decorative trim once again, with the outermost bays of the individual north and south facades, as well as the west facade, featuring single windows flanked by doric pilasters with decorative window trim, including busts on the keystones, and the middle bays being recessed, flanked by ionic pilasters, with copper spandrel panels. The top of the twentieth floor windows is a line of belt coursing, above which are a few courses of brick, with decorative reliefs above the doric pilasters on the east and west facades, which sits below the building’s cornice, which features brackets, and runs around the base of the brick parapet that encloses the building’s low-slope roof. Atop the parapet above the doric pilasters are decorative urns. The rear of the building also features a large circulation tower, housing the building’s main stairways and elevators, which features a largely unadorned facade with four oxeye openings with stone trim at the top, with this being the least detailed section of the building’s exterior.
Inside, the building features many original semi-public spaces that have been partially preserved from the original period of construction and function as a hotel. These include the “palm room”, the main lobby that is themed after a tropical garden, which sits just outside the hotel’s main dining room, a two-story space with a vaulted ceiling, decorative archways, paired arched second-story openings with balustrades and columns, arched windows above the dining room entrance, an entrance portico at the dining room with ionic columns, a decorative cornice, a broken pediment with a cartouche, and a decorative balustrade atop the portico, and a fountain surrounded by greco-roman statues. There is also the Terrace Room, which features a decorative beam ceiling, ionic columns, and a section of the ceiling that is vaulted, the golden ballroom, formerly the hotel’s main dining room, which features a cantilevered second-story balcony with ionic columns featuring capitals and accents clad in gold leaf, decorative trim and panels clad in gold leaf, a wooden parquet floor, and a vaulted ceiling, and a room in the mezzanine with well-preserved carved wood paneling and black marble fireplace surrounds. Other spaces, including the lounge, tea room, cafeteria, swimming pool, and turkish baths, have not been preserved in as intact of a condition.
The hotel began to see a decline in occupancy with the onset of the Great Depression, with several of its 1,100 rooms regularly sitting vacant. As a result, it began to see portions of its interior converted into office space, which accelerated after the opening of the WBEN TV studio in the building. The Statler hotel chain was bought out by Hilton in 1954, which continued to use the Statler brand on hotels that the chain had already built, but eventually phased it out. The hotel finally shuttered in 1984, with the building being renamed the Statler Towers. The building became largely vacant, with only the lower floors being occupied, with the highest occupancy being in the street-facing retail spaces. In the 2000s, the building was slated for conversion into a hotel and condominium, but this proved unsuccessful when the entity that owned the building went bankrupt, leading to a foreclosure and the building being threatened with demolition. Preservationists worked hard to save the building, leading to it being auctioned to a developer in 2010, whom started to stabilize the structure and address its deferred maintenance, reopening the event spaces on the lower floors in 2011, with plans to eventually renovate the rest of the building with an incremental, multi-phased approach. After that developer died, the building was sold to another developer, whom has announced plans to convert the base into a combination of parking, meeting and event space, amenity space, and retail space, with 600 apartments on the upper levels, with work being well underway in 2022.
The state-of-the-art facility replaced Ned Skeldon Stadium, the home of the Hens since 1965. The right field corner and "The Roost" at Fifth Third Field were designed to be reminiscent of Wrigley Field, Camden Yards and Tiger Stadium. At both Wrigley and Camden, historic buildings are just across the street from the ballpark. Six historic buildings are incorporated into the right field concourse of Fifth Third Field. The first two rows of "The Roost" actually overhang the playing field, reminiscent of the home run porch at old Tiger Stadium. St. Clair Street is just beyond the right field wall and long home runs can be retrieved by fans just like Waveland Avenue at Wrigley Field. -- mudhens.com

I also decided to convert a lot of Amazon Prime trucks into ice cream trucks with electric swing arm stop signs like on school buses and the current yellow trapezoid Children Slow Crossing warning blades that word "CHILDREN SLOW CROSSING" to replace all of the older ice cream trucks that still have the old red trapezoid Children Slow Crossing warning blades that word "IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO". All of the older ice cream trucks that still have the old former red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blade that word "IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO" will all be torn apart and have their pieces be used as new McDonald's PlayPlace play equipments replacing the dangerous crawl tubes and ball pits since McDonald's also has been making safety improvements to their PlayPlaces by using better play equipments seen athttps://playtime.com/showcases/towers/mcdonalds-playplace-solutions/ replacing the nasty dangerous crawl tubes and ball pits and some of the newer McDonald's PlayPlaces like the epic one in Orlando has arcade games. The Amazon Prime Trucks that are converted into Ice Cream Trucks will go to Mister Softee, Wholesale Clubs such as Costco and BJ's, and other ice cream truck service on safety updates on ice cream trucks. But there will always be brick and mortar stores in real life and Due to that New Jersey was the slowest on phasing out the bad old outdated red trapezoid Children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO because of some mean teachers at school forcing some ice cream trucks to keep their red trapezoid and made a bad and mean-spirited law of ice cream trucks requiring those bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO which is extremely confusing to people who are death, color blind, can't read or don't speak English in some of New Jersey, I hereby MOST Amazon warehouses in New Jersey to all be converted into Blue's Clues Handy Dandy Notebook prop replica manufacturing plants and convert most Amazon prime trucks in New Jersey into better and safe updated ice cream trucks with the good awesome current updated yellow trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word CHILDREN SLOW CROSSING and School bus stop signs which are octagon shape for the state of New Jersey to also include disabled people in the future too and tear apart the last remaining of the ice cream trucks with the bad old outdated red trapezoid children slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO and recycle all of them into brand new Blue's Clues Handy Dandy notebook prop replicas and reuse the arm the bad old outdated red trapezoid Children Slow crossing warning blades that word IF-SAFE STOP THEN-GO for the brand new stop signs of the new school buses of the future.

"The first fountain next to the arch was completed in 1852 and replaced in 1872. In 1851, it was described as having "a very large circular basin, with a central jet and several side jets." A story on the completion of the fountain appeared in the first edition of the New-York Daily Times, which would eventually become the New York Times. The statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi was unveiled in 1888. In 1918, two statues of George Washington were added to the north side.
Washington Square Park is a 9.75-acre (39,500 m2) public park in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City. One of the best known of New York City's public parks, it is an icon as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity. It is operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks).
The park is an open space, dominated by the Washington Square Arch at the northern gateway to the park, with a tradition of celebrating nonconformity. The park's fountain area has long been one of the city's popular spots, and many of the local buildings have at one time served as homes and studios for artists. Many buildings have been built by New York University, while others have been converted from their former uses into academic and residential buildings.
Greenwich Village (/ˈɡrɛnɪtʃ/ GREN-itch, /ˈɡrɪn-/ GRIN-, /-ɪdʒ/ -ij) is a neighborhood on the west side of Lower Manhattan in New York City, bounded by 14th Street to the north, Broadway to the east, Houston Street to the south, and the Hudson River to the west. Greenwich Village also contains several subsections, including the West Village west of Seventh Avenue and the Meatpacking District in the northwest corner of Greenwich Village.
Its name comes from Groenwijck, Dutch for "Green District". In the 20th century, Greenwich Village was known as an artists' haven, the bohemian capital, the cradle of the modern LGBT movement, and the East Coast birthplace of both the Beat and '60s counterculture movements. Greenwich Village contains Washington Square Park, as well as two of New York City's private colleges, New York University (NYU) and The New School.
Greenwich Village is part of Manhattan Community District 2, and is patrolled by the 6th Precinct of the New York City Police Department. Greenwich Village has undergone extensive gentrification and commercialization; the four ZIP Codes that constitute the Village – 10011, 10012, 10003, and 10014 – were all ranked among the ten most expensive in the United States by median housing price in 2014, according to Forbes, with residential property sale prices in the West Village neighborhood typically exceeding US$2,100/sq ft ($23,000/m2) in 2017.
New York, often called New York City or NYC, is the most populous city in the United States. With a 2020 population of 8,804,190 distributed over 300.46 square miles (778.2 km2), New York City is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. The city is within the southern tip of New York State, and constitutes the geographical and demographic center of both the Northeast megalopolis and the New York metropolitan area – the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. With over 20.1 million people in its metropolitan statistical area and 23.5 million in its combined statistical area as of 2020, New York is one of the world's most populous megacities, and over 58 million people live within 250 mi (400 km) of the city. New York City is a global cultural, financial, and media center with a significant influence on commerce, health care and life sciences, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, dining, art, fashion, and sports. New York is the most photographed city in the world. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy, an established safe haven for global investors, and is sometimes described as the capital of the world." - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.

Some notes on replacing a newer Getrag 260 with an older one, on a BMW E30 3 series or E28 5 series.
Here, the original transmission was in a 1986 325es. I assume that it was original to that car. It would not go into fourth gear, necessitating replacement.
The older replacement transmission going into this 325es could've been out of an e 30 or e 28.
Original transmission part number stamps:
Front half of case: 260.0.1270.90 ( 260 0 1270 90 )
Rear half of case: 260.0.1060.91 (260 0 1060 91 )
Date stamp inside bellhousing: 85/86
Replacement transmission part number stamps:
Front half of case: 260.0.1270.90 ( 260 0 1270 90 )
Rear half of case: 260.0.1060.90 ( 260 0 1060 90 )
Date stamp inside bellhousing: 83/84
So far as I can tell the external dimensions are the same. This includes the stud spacing for the slave cylinder. Stud spacing at output shaft flange was the same but different design.
The difference between the two is the mounting for the shift platform. At first, I thought that perhaps I could use metal bow P/N 25 11 2 225 369 as bolt-on workaround. It was not a bolt-on solution. It required bending, grinding, washers and fabricating spacers to fit. Even the shift rod had to be ground.
In the end, it works acceptably but I can feel a slight difference in the position of the shifter. I have played with reversing/adjusting all components of the shifter linkage to some benefit. I may have gotten better results if I had spent more time getting my fabricated solution more exactly aligned to replicate the original position of the shift platform connection.
Conclusion: swapping out a newer Getrag 260 and replacing it with an older was is doable, but enough of a PITA that given the choice I would happily pay more for the correct used transmission, or sourced the correct shifter platform and related parts.
Other notes:
Removing the output shaft flange nut was very difficult. It took a full two minutes of torching and an impact wrench to get it off. The vibration collar around the flange was char-broiled at this point so I've done without it. I haven't noticed any more vibration as a result. Also, complicating this swap was the build date of car (5/86). This corresponds with a mid-year changeover of design affecting the clutch, the shifter platform, and the guibo. While I knew that I had the newer style of shifter platform, I had to buy one of each clutch kit and guibo. I can't remember if the clutch and guibo ended up being the newer or older design; the point is that the reality of what was on the car did not correspond exactly to the month stated in the parts catalog.
The castle has been the seat of the Percy family since Norman times. By 1138 the original motte and bailey castle, with wooden buildings, was replaced with stone buildings and walls. In 1309 the keep and defences were made even stronger by Henry de Percy. The castle then stayed unchanged for 400 years. By the 18th century it had fallen into ruins. The keep however was then turned into a gothic style mansion by Robert Adam. In the 19th century the Duke of Northumberland carried out more restoration of the castle.

Alnwick Castle The Castle, Stable Court and Covered Riding School including West Wall of Riding School
GV I
Alnwick Castle has work of every period on the line of the original motte and bailey plan. By 1138 a strong stone built border castle with a shell keep in place of the motte, formed the nucleus of the present castle with 2 baileys enclosing about 7 acres. The curtain walls and their square towers rest on early foundations and the inner gatehouse has round-headed arches with heavy chevron decoration. The Castle was greatly fortified after its purchase by Henry de Percy 1309 - the Barbican and Gatehouse, the semi-circular towers of the shell keep, the octagonal towers of the inner gateway and the strong towers of the curtain wall date from the early to mid C14. Ruinous by the C18, the 1st Duke had it rehabilitated and extended by James Prince and Robert Adam, the latter being mainly concerned with the interior decoration, very little of which remains except for fireplaces in the Housekeeper's and the Steward's Rooms and for inside the present Estates Office range. Capability Brown landscaped the grounds, filling in the former moat (formed by Bow Burn). The 4th Duke employed Anthony Salvin 1854-65 at the cost of £1/4 million to remove Adam's fanciful Gothic decoration, to restore a serious Gothic air to the exterior and to redesign the state rooms in an imposing grand Italian manner. The Castle is approached from Bailliff gate through the crenellated Barbican and Gatehouse (early C14): lion rampant (replica) over archway, projecting square side towers with corbelled upper parts, fortified passage over dry moat to vaulted gateway flanked by polygonal towers. Stone figures on crenellations here, on Aveners Tower, on Record Tower and on Inner Gateway were carved circa 1750-70 by Johnson of Stamfordham and probably reflect an earlier similar arrangement. In the Outer Bailey to the, north are the West Garrett (partly Norman), the Abbott's Tower (circa 1350) with a rib vaulted basement, and the Falconer's Tower (1856). To the south are the Aveners Tower [C18], the Clock Tower leading into the Stable Yard, the C18 office block, the Auditor's Tower (early Clk) and the Middle Gateway (circa 1309-15) leading to the Middle Bailey. The most prominent feature of the Castle on the west side is the very large Prudhoe Tower by Salvin and the polygonal apse of the chapel near to it. In the Middle Bailey, to the south are the Warders Tower (1856) with the lion gateway leading by a bridge to the grand stairs into the walled garden, the East Garrett and the Record Tower (C14, rebuilt 1885). In the curtain wall to the north are 2 blocked windows probably from an early C17 building now destroyed and the 'Bloody Gap', a piece of later walling possibly replacing a lost truer; next a small C14 watch tower (Hotspur's Seat); next the Constable's Tower, early C14 and unaltered with a gabled staircase turret; close by is the Postern Tower, early C14, also unaltered.'To the north-west of the Postern Tower is a large terrace made in the C18, rebuilt 1864-65, with some old cannon on it. The Keep is entered from the Octagon Towers (circa 1350) which have 13 heraldic shields below the parapet, besides the agotrop3ic figures, and a vaulted passage expanded from the Norman gateway (fragments of chevron on former outer arch are visible inside). The present arrangement of the inner ward is largely Salvin's work with a covered entrance with a projecting storey and lamp-bracket at the rear of the Prudhoe Tower and a corbelled corridor at 1st floor level on the east. Mediaeval draw well on the east wall, next to the original doorway to the keep, now a recess The keep, like the curtain walls, is largely mediaeval except for some C18 work on the interior on the west and for the Prudhoe Tower and the Chapel. The interior contrasts with the rugged mediaeval exterior with its sumptuous Renaissance decoration, largely by Italians - Montiroli, Nucci, Strazza, Mantavani and inspired from Italian sources. The chapel with its family gallery at the east end has 4 short rib vaulted bays and a shallow 3-light apse; side walls have mosaics, covered now with tapestry. The grand staircase With its groin vaulted ceiling leads to the Guard Chamber from which an ante-room leads west into the Library (in the Prudhoe Tower) and east into the Music Room (fireplace with Dacian captives by Nucci). Further on are the Red Drawing Room (caryatid fireplace by Nucci) and the Dining Room (ceiling design copied from St Lorenzo f.l.m. in Rome and fireplace with bacchante by Strazza and faun by Nucci). South of the Middle Gateway are Salvin's impressive Kitchen quarters where the oven was designed to burn a ton of coal per day. West of the Stable Courtyard, with C19 Guest Hall at the south end, is the C19 covered riding school, with stable to north of it, and with its west wall forming the east side of Narrowgate. The corner with Bailliffgate has an obtuse angled tower of 2 storeys, with a depressed ogee headed doorway from the street, and merlons.

ALNWICK CASTLE
Heritage Category: Park and Garden
Grade: I
List Entry Number: 1001041
National Grid Reference: NU1739315366, NU2254414560
Details
Extensive landscape parks and pleasure grounds developed from a series of medieval deer parks, around Alnwick Castle, the seat of the Percy family since the C14.
Between 1750 and 1786, a picturesque landscape park was developed for Hugh, first Duke of Northumberland, involving work by James Paine, Robert Adam, and the supervision of work by Lancelot Brown (1716-83) and his foremen Cornelius Griffin, Robson, and Biesley in the 1760-80s, working alongside James and Thomas Call, the Duke's gardeners. During the C19 each successive Duke contributed and elaborated on the expansive, planned estate landscape, within which the landscape park was extended. This was accompanied by extensive C19 garden works, including a walled, formal flower garden designed in the early C19 by John Hay (1758-1836), and remodelled mid C19 by William Andrews Nesfield (1793-1881).

HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT
In the C13, Hulne Park, West Park, and Cawledge were imparked within the Forest of Alnwick. Hulne Park lay to the north-west of Alnwick Castle and Cawledge to the south and south-east. By the late Middle Ages, Hulne Park extended to 4000 acres (c 1620ha) enclosed by some 13 miles (c 21km) of wall. It was stocked with some 1000 fallow deer and a tower at Hulne Priory served as a hunting lodge. The parks formed the basis of Alnwick Park, landscaped by Sir Hugh Smithson (1714-86) who in 1750 became Earl of Northumberland, inheriting his father-in-law's northern estates. Prior to this, from 1748 he and his wife, Elizabeth Seymour (1716-76), had lived at Stanwick, Yorkshire (qv) and at Syon Park, London (qv), where they had already established a reputation for gardening, attested by Philip Miller's dedication, in 1751, of his Gardener's Dictionary to the Earl.
Together they embarked on an ambitious scheme to restore the Castle, develop the grounds and estate, and restore the Percy family traditions and identity at Alnwick. Those employed at Alnwick were also involved elsewhere on the Northumberland estates: James Paine, architect at Syon House, Daniel Garrett, architect at Northumberland House, the Strand (1750-3), Robert Adam, architect at Syon (1762-9), Lancelot Brown, landscape architect at Syon Park (1754-72).
In 1751, Thomas Call (1717-82), who had been the Earl's gardener at Stanwick, prepared a scheme for the parklands and pleasure grounds, including a plan for Brizlee Hill (the south part of Hulne Park). Call and his relation James, working at Alnwick by 1756, were responsible for the development of Hulne Park over twenty years. The date and extent of Lancelot Brown's involvement at Alnwick is uncertain, although his foremen Griffin, Robson, and Biesley worked at Alnwick with teams of men between 1771and 1781 and records shown that they also worked alongside Call and his men (in 1773 for example, Call had a team of sixty men and Biesley one of seventy-eight).
Hulne Park was developed as a picturesque pleasure ground with extensive rides, follies, and the enhancement of natural features. A characteristic of the Duke's scheme was his recognition of antiquarian sites within the landscape, which were embellished. Thus in 1755, Hulne Priory was purchased to become the focal point of Hulne Park. A garden was made within the cloister walls and, from c 1763, the priory became the gamekeeper's residence, with a menagerie of gold and silver pheasants. Statues of friars cut by the mason Matthew Mills were set in the landscape. In 1774, a medieval commemorative cross to Malcolm Canmore (listed grade II), situated at the northern entrance to the North Demesne, was restored.
Following the Duchess' death in 1776, the Duke decorated all her favourite locations with buildings, some being ideas she had noted in her memoranda. Work also included other notes and ideas the Duchess had had, including the ruin at Ratcheugh Crag and some ninety-eight drives and incidents.
Plans for the parklands at the North Demesne, Denwick, and Ratcheugh Crags were developed in the late 1760s, although in the case of the North Demesne some parkland planting had been undertaken by 1760, and the major work undertaken in the early 1770s is that attributed to Brown, mainly on stylistic grounds.
During the C19, under the second Duke (1742-1817) the parks were extended, this including the purchase of Alnwick Abbey and part of its estate. The complex of drives was also extended and this was accompanied by extensive plantations, including the large Bunker Hill plantation central to the north area of Hulne Park, named to commemorate the Duke's action in 1775 in the War of American Independence. Most significantly, between 1806 and 1811, building centred on construction of a perimeter wall, defining the boundary of Hulne Park, and lodges and gateways at entrances to the parks. The carriage drives were extended, necessitating the construction of bridges over the River Aln. These schemes were implemented by estate workers, local masons, and David Stephenson, the Duke's architect.
As the Castle had no formal flower gardens, John Hay was commissioned between 1808 and 1812 to design pleasure gardens to the south-east of the Castle, linking it with a new walled garden at Barneyside, furnished with a range of hothouses, glasshouses, and pine pits. These were extended in the 1860s when Anthony Salvin, employed in the restoration of the Castle, built a gateway between the inner bailey and the pleasure gardens. Nesfield designed a scheme for the walled gardens to be developed as an ornamental flower and fruit garden, with a large central pool, conservatory, and a series of broad terraces and parterres. The Alnwick scheme can be compared to Nesfield's in the precincts of Arundel Castle, West Sussex (qv), in 1845.
Alnwick Castle, parks and estate remain (2000) in private ownership, the latest significant developments being the replanting and restoration of the North Demesne (1990s) and plans to completely remodel the walled garden.
SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
Alnwick Castle parks cover a tract of countryside encircling Alnwick town on its west, north, north-east, and south sides. The land is a mixture of contrasting landscape types, with high heather moorland and the rough crags of the Northumbrian Sandstone Hills sweeping down to the improved pasture lands along the wooded Aln valley. The parks exploit the boundaries of these distinctive landforms where the rugged moorland gives way to the pastoral, rolling landscape of the Aln, on its route to the sea. In the west parklands the river is confined between hills, and in places has incised deep, narrow valleys while in the east the landscape is more open.
The registered area of 1300ha is bounded on its north-east side by the Hulne Park wall, west of the Bewick to Alnwick Road (B6346). The west side of the area here registered follows field boundaries to the west of Shipley Burn, starting at Shipley Bridge, and then turns south-west at a point c 1km south of the bridge. It then runs for south-west for c 2.3km, to the west of Hulne Park, before crossing the River Aln and running parallel to Moorlaw Dean for c 1.2km, on the west side of the burn. The southern area is defined by Hulne Park wall running around the south point of Brizlee Wood then in a line due east, south of Cloudy Crags drive, to cross the Stocking Burn and reach Forest Lodge. The boundary then defines the north-western extent of Alnwick town and, crossing the Canongate Bridge, the southernmost extent of the Dairy Grounds.
To the east of the Castle the registered area takes in the entire North Demesne bounded on its north by Long Plantation, a perimeter belt which lies on the south side of Smiley Lane and then extends eastwards to meet the junction of the B1340 and A1 trunk road. The A1 has effectively cut through the North Demesne from north to south and, although physically divorcing the two areas, they are still visually conjoined. Defined on its north side within the hamlet of Denwick by tree belts, the park extends eastwards for 1km before cutting across southwards to meet the River Aln at Lough House. This latter stretch is bounded by a perimeter belt. The south boundary of the North Demesne follows the river in part, before meeting the Alnwick to Denwick road (B1340). To the south, the Castle gardens are delimited from the town by property boundaries along Bondgate. An outlying area of designed landscape at Ratcheugh is also included.
A complex series of drives is laid throughout the parks, particularly in Hulne Park. A series of thirty standing stones stand at the beginning of the drives or where they converge. These are inscribed with the names of the drives and act as signposts.
Alnwick Castle (1134 onwards, c 1750-68 by James Paine and Robert Adam, 1854-6 by Anthony Salvin, listed grade I) lies on the high ground on the south side of the Aln valley, commanding views to the north, east, and west. To the south is Alnwick town but the landscape is designed so that the town is not in view of the Castle. The principal views from the Castle lie over the North Demesne.
The North Demesne originally included Denwick Park (they have now been divided by the A1 road), and together these 265ha form the core parkland designed by Brown. Perimeter tree belts define the park, and clumps and scatters of specimen trees ornament the ground plan. The Aln has been dammed to give the appearance of an extensive, natural serpentine lake, with bridges as focal points: the Lion Bridge (John Adam 1773, listed grade I) and Denwick Bridge (1766, probably also by Adam, listed grade I). A programme of replanting and restoration of the North Demesne is under way (late 1990s).
The medieval deer park of Hulne extended to the north of the Shipley Road (outside the area here registered). Hulne Park is now 1020ha and is in agricultural and forestry use. The principal entrance from Alnwick town is Forest Lodge, the only extant part of Alnwick Abbey. Hulne Park is completely enclosed by an early C19 perimeter wall, c 3m high with shaped stone coping and buttresses every 20m. Nearly 5km of wall lies alongside roads, 5km across fields, and 5km defines perimeter woodland and moorland from the enclosed park.
The park design consists of a series of oval-shaped enclosures, defined by tree belts vital for shelter. The highest point is in the west area of the park, from where there are long-distance views east to the sea. The River Aln winds its way through the park via a series of contrasting steep valleys and flatter lands. The valleys are emphasised by planting on the upper slopes, while the lower areas are encircled with designed plantations to emphasise the river's meanders and ox-bow lakes.
Picturesque incidents survive at Nine Year Aud Hole, where the statue of a hermit (late C18, listed grade II) stands at the entrance to a natural cave along Cave Drive, and at Long Stone, a monolith standing high on the west side of Brizlee Hill, with panoramic views over Hulne Park to the north-west. The picturesque highlight is Hulne Priory (original medieval buildings, C18 alterations and enhancements, all listed grade I), which includes a summerhouse designed by Robert Adam (1778-80, listed grade I) and statues of praying friars erected in the Chapter House (late C18). The Priory's picturesque qualities are well appreciated from Brizlee Tower (Robert Adam, listed grade I), built in 1781 to commemorate the creation of the Alnwick parks by the first Duke and Duchess, a Latin inscription stating:
Circumspice! Ego omnia ista sum dimensus; Mei sunt ordines, Mea descriptio Multae etiam istarum arborum Mea manu sunt satae. [Look about you. I have measured all these things; they are my orders; it is my planning; many of these trees have been planted by my own hand.]
Brizlee is sited on a high point which can be seen in views north-west from the Castle, mirroring views north-east to the 'Observatory' on Ratcheugh Crag, a sham ruined castle sited as an eyecatcher on high ground and built by John Bell of Durham in 1784 (plans to further elaborate it were designed by Robert Adam).
Another principal feature of Hulne Park is a series of regular, walled enclosures (the walls set in ditches with banks cast up inside the compounds) which line Farm Drive, the central road through the park, north-westwards from Moor Lodge. This functioned as the third Duke's menagerie, and is still pasture.
The 15ha Dairy Ground links Hulne Park and the North Demesne. It principally consists of the Aln valley north-west of the Castle, stretching between Canongate Bridge and Lion Bridge, laid out as pleasure gardens. Barbara's Bank and the Dark Walk are plantations laid out with walks on the steep slopes with a Curling Pond to the north of the Aln.
The walled garden of 3ha lies to the south-east of the Castle, reached by the remains of C19 pleasure gardens laid out on the slopes above Barneyside. After the Second World War use of the glasshouses ceased, and until recently (late 1990s) the Estate Forestry Department used it. The earthwork terraces and remnants of specimen planting of Nesfield's scheme survive.
