The Matra M530 2+2 sports car replaced the 1964-1967 Matra Djet, and was the first really 'own' sports car.
It was designed by Philippe Guédon, who came from Simca, and was further more styled by Jacques Nochet.
The March 1970 facelift was done by Studio Michelotti with the arrival of the LX version.
The side emblem of the M530 says LX-S- version. But it's a M530 SX. This was the cheaper version of the M520 range, which was introduced in October 1971.
It differed from the LX with its four fixed headlights instead of hidden headlamps. Further more, it had a fixed roof and had black bumper bars and trims, while the LX had chrome ones.

They became the RAF's premium long-haul transport and stayed in service until they were replaced by the Lockheed Hercules in 1968.
Another five photos from my last drive, on 28 April. Harsh light and windy.
On 28 April 2023, I had to go for a day’s drive because everyone had to remove their vehicle out of the parking lot (again!) for the day. We were told to remove by 8:30 am, ready for the guys coming at 9:00 am. Well, the guys who used blowers to remove all the dust and loose gravel, etc. started working at 7:00 am. The painters arrived at 8:30 am, just as I was ready to leave home. The lot was cleaned and the yellow lines between cars were repainted. The whole day was spent driving the roads SW of Calgary, all of them familiar, but a couple only driven a few times.
I very recently decided to buy a new camera, the Canon SX70 HS. I found it concerning that I had been using my Canon SX60 since May 2017 - at least, the earliest photo I can find on my Flickr page was taken on 6 May 2017. The camera has been used a lot! I was very undecided about the Canon SX70, as my daughter has had this camera for quite a long time and finds that the photos tend to be rather blurry. For many months, I have read up about the Canon SX70 and never felt completely happy with everything I read. I have researched other similar cameras and there really isn't anything much out there. I already have the Nikon P900 (totally lousy/useless/ viewfinder) and the Panasonic FZ1000 (far less zoom). Both these cameras are heavy and I need a much lighter camera, especially now because of my damaged right shoulder, which makes holding and using a camera both painful and awkward. Things I read these days seem to say that phone cameras are kind of replacing point-and-shoot cameras and companies are producing very few point-and-shoot models. No telling how long it could be before they stop making them altogether. So, I wanted to be prepared for if/when my faithful and much used Canon SX60 eventually dies.
So, I took both cameras with me, though I did take more shots with the SX60. I can't say that the photos from either camera came out as sharp as I would have liked - very bright out, and windy. Now I have to compare the quality of the images. I found the SX70 a nice, light camera to use, I must say. I had changed a few of the most important (to me) settings, but I’m sure there are others that need checking and tweaking. Some of my Bluebird photos came out better with the SX70. I saw my first Wilson's Snipe of the season and the SX70 did well, as did the SX60, though the colour is very different between the two cameras. I need to compare a lot of images in the next while. The five photos posted this evening have all been edited.

The DC-10-15... AeroMexico and Mexicana, being based at 'hot and high' Mexico City, wanted an aircraft with uprated engines to be able to take off with high loads from Mexico City's 7,350ft / 2,240mtrs altitude. Douglas offered them the DC-10-15, basically a DC-10-10 (no centre leg) with uprated engines and some other refinements.
This aircraft was ordered by AeroMexico as XA-AMM, but that registration wasn't used and it was delivered to AeroMexico as N10038 in Jun-81. It operated AeroMexico's last DC-10 service in Dec-96 and was stored at Mexico City.
It remained stored until it was leased to Skyjet Antigua as V2-SKY in Sep-98. (it was originally to have been V2-LFB but that wasn't taken up). Skyjet operated services for many other airlines.

It was leased short-term to Galaxy Airlines (Greece) between Apr/May-00 and another Haj operation for Saudi Arabian between Jan/Apr-01. It was withdrawn from service and stored at Maastricht, Netherlands during the winter season between Nov-01/Apr-02.
In Apr-02 it was wet-leased to Aerowings (Switzerland but based at Charleroi, Belgium). It seemed to spend more time stored than it did flying. It was stored at Rheims (France) as soon as it was delivered.
I'm not sure when operations started but the aircraft was stored at Maastricht (Netherlands) in Aug-02. From there it moved to Charleroi in Sep-02. Aerowings had gone by early Oct-02 and Skyjet suddenly became Astra Airlines.
The aircraft was leased to Air Mali in Dec-02 for a year but the aircraft was returned to Astra after a month and ferried to Opa-Locka, FL, USA in early Feb-03. It was permanently retired and was last noted still at Opa-Locka in Mar-06

France - 2010
The Brickell Avenue Bridge is a bascule bridge in Downtown Miami, Florida, that carries U.S. Route 1 (US 1; Brickell Avenue) over the Miami River.
The original Brickell Avenue Bridge was built in 1929 and replaced in 1995. The Brickell Avenue Bridge was widened by one additional northbound lane in 2006 to reduce the traffic bottleneck through downtown. Before this, there were three southbound but only two northbound lanes. Currently, there are three lanes in each direction as well as a pedestrian walkway on both sides. Still, the bridge causes frequent traffic delays on the busy Brickell Avenue when it opens. According to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), the bridge opened 4,990 times in 2010.
The statue is a 53-foot bronze monument commissioned by the Florida Department of Transportation and created by Cuban Master Sculptor Manuel Carbonell in 1995. The "Pillar of History" consists of a 36-foot high carved bas-relief column that graphically narrates the lives of the Tequesta Indians, Miami's first inhabitants, and features 158 figures. At the top stands a 17-foot bronze sculpture, "Tequesta Family" portraying a Tequesta Indian warrior aiming an arrow to the sky, looking for space in eternity, with his wife and child by his side, while the son covers his face in expectation of their extinction.
Carbonell also created four bas reliefs, measuring 4-feet by 8-feet, which were installed in niches on the bridge's supporting piers. Each relief honors Miami's early founders and pioneers - William and Mary Brickell, Henry Flagler, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and Julia Tuttle.

Emilio Longoni (Barlassina, 9 July 1859 - Milan, 29 November 1932) - Child with trumpet and horse (1893-96) - Oil on canvas applied on cardboard 41 x 18 cm. - Exhibition Divisionism The revolution of light - Novara Castle
Il Divisionismo nasce a Milano, sulla stessa premessa del Neo-Impressionnisme francese, meglio noto come Pointillisme, senza tuttavia che si possa parlare di influenza diretta. Muove dall’idea che lo studio dei trattati d’ottica, che hanno rivoluzionato il concetto di colore, debba determinare la tecnica del pittore moderno. Si sviluppa nel Nord d’Italia, grazie soprattutto al sostegno di Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, mercante d’arte, critico, pubblicista e a sua volta pittore, che con il fratello Alberto gestisce a partire del 1876 una galleria d’arte a Milano. E’ Vittore a diffondere tra i pittori della sua scuderia il principio della sostituzione della miscela chimica dei colori tradizionalmente ottenuta sulla tavolozza, con un approccio diretto all’accostamento dei toni complementari sulla tela. Da dato chimico, il colore diventa fenomeno ottico e alla dovuta distanza l’occhio dello spettatore può ricomporre le pennellate staccate in una sintesi tonale, percependo una maggior luminosità nel dipinto.
Divisionism was born in Milan, on the same premise as the French Neo-Impressionnisme, better known as Pointillisme, without however being able to speak of direct influence. It starts from the idea that the study of optical treatises, which have revolutionized the concept of color, should determine the technique of the modern painter. It develops in Northern Italy, thanks above all to the support of Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, art dealer, critic, publicist and in turn painter, who with his brother Alberto has been managing an art gallery in Milan since 1876. Vittore spreads the principle of replacing the chemical mixture of colors traditionally obtained on the palette among the painters in his stable, with a direct approach to the combination of complementary tones on the canvas. From chemical data, the color becomes an optical phenomenon and at the necessary distance the viewer's eye can recompose the detached brush strokes in a tonal synthesis, perceiving a greater brightness in the painting.

This aircraft has quite a simple history. Delivered new to SAS in Oct-56, it flew with them for 11 years until it was traded in to Sud Aviacion in part-exchange for Caravelles.
It was stored at Bordeaux, France in Aug-67. It was sold to Air Management Corp in Aug-74 and continued to be stored at Bordeaux until it was finally scrapped in 1980. Oddly, it spent more time sitting on the ground at Bordeaux (13years) than it did in service with SAS.

Avanti West Coast electric unit 390127 runs into platform 4 with a southbound passenger service.
The brick buildings on the left date from the 1885 rebuild when the station had 6 platforms: two main faces plus 2 bays at either end. The splendid Victorian iron & glass roof was sadly demolished in the last rebuild & replaced by these rusting tubular things. The station still has 6 platforms but only one is a bay. New platforms 1 and 5/6 are on the Down and Up sides respectively of the original island.

Note 1. The registration C-FYLD was later applied to a Sunwing Airlines Boeing 737-800 between Dec-09 / Apr-10.
Note 2. I was a bit suspicious of the British registration G-CHSJ for Air Canada while it was stored in Brasil, thinking it was likely to be a misprint for C-GHSJ. However, on checking the UK CAA aircraft database I found that G-CHSJ was correct. The aircraft was British registered between Feb/Dec-13. The Canadian registration C-GHSJ is/was a Cessna 172.

RHAPSODY (IMO: 9104835) is a Ro-Ro/Passenger Ship and is sailing under the flag of Italy. Her length overall (LOA) is 172 meters and her width is 30.4 meters.
MS Rhapsody, is an Italian cruiseferry operated by Grandi Navi Veloci. She was built at Chantiers de l'Atlantique in Saint-Nazaire, France for the French ferry operator SNCM as Napoleon Bonaparte.[1] In 1996, she was put on the Marseille–Corsica route,[1] replacing the old ferry Napoleon which was moved to the Marseille–Algeria–Tunisia route. On October 27, 2012, the ship broke its moorings in the port of Marseille due to strong winds, violently struck the dock, and sunk in the harbour.[2] Due to its financial difficulties, SNCM was unable to repair the ferry, and sold it to the Italian shipowner MSC in 2014.[3] Refloated, the ship was renamed Rhapsody and transferred to Grandi Navi Veloci to sail first between Italy and Albania, and then from 2017 on the Genoa-Porto Torres route.[1]

Southwell Minster, formally the Cathedral and Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is a Church of England cathedral in Southwell, Nottinghamshire. The cathedral is the seat of the bishop of Southwell and Nottingham.
The current church is the successor to one built in 956 by Oscytel, archbishop of York. Some late eleventh century fabric survives from this church, but the majority of the building dates from between 1108 and c. 1150, when it was reconstructed in the Romanesque style. The chancel was rebuilt from 1234 to 1251 in the Early English Gothic style. In 1288 the chapter house was built; it is decorated with carved foliage of exceptional quality, known as the 'Southwell Leaves'. The minster's rood screen is also of high quality.
During the Middle Ages Southwell was part of the large diocese of York, and the archbishop maintained a palace adjacent to the minster. Although it was not a cathedral, the minster acted as the mother church of the surrounding area; Ripon Cathedral and Beverley Minster fulfilled a similar function in other parts of the diocese. The church was collegiate from its foundation until 1841, although the college was twice dissolved and re-founded during the English Reformation. It was a parish church from 1841 until 1884, when it became the cathedral of a new diocese covering Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire; in 1927 the diocese was divided by the creation of the Diocese of Derby.
The nave, transepts, central tower and two western towers of the Norman church which replaced the Anglo-Saxon minster remain as an outstanding achievement of severe Romanesque design. The western facade has pyramidal spires on its towers – a unique feature today in Britain today, though common in the 12th century.

Now you know why Britannia Airways was called Britannia Airways...
Delivered new to BOAC British Overseas Airways Corporation in Mar-57 as G-ANBO, the aircraft was wet-leased to Cathay Pacific Airways from Dec-60/mid-61. It was wet leased to Malayan Airlines from Sep/Oct-61 and again from Jul/Aug-62.
The aircraft was stored at Cambridge, UK, in Dec-62 after just 5 years in service. It was leased to Britannia Airways (previously known as Euravia) in Jan-65 and they bought it in Mar-70. It was retired at Luton in Nov-70 and broken there up in May-71.

G-APIM was quite a late build Viscount, being delivered to BEA in Jun-58. It was sold to Cambrian Airways in Nov-71, then Cambrian were merged into British Airways in Apr-74.
The aircraft continued in service with British Airways until it was retired at Cardiff, Wales, in Apr-82. It was bought by BAF British Air Ferries in Jan-84.
It carried on flying until Jan-88 when it was hit on the ground at Southend, UK, by Shorts SD.330 G-BHWT and damaged beyond repair. It ended it's days preserved at the Brooklands Museum, Weybridge, UK. A 30 year life span was good going for a Viscount.
