First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWCE, this aircraft was delivered to Austrian Airlines as OE-LAC in Mar-91. It was sold to Airbus Industrie Financial Services in Aug-98 and leased back to Austrian. It was returned to Airbus Asset Management in Mar-00 and re-registered F-WGYO in Jun-00.
The aircraft was due to be leased to Diamond Sakha Airlines, Russia but the lease was cancelled. Instead it was leased to Yemenia - Yemen Airlines as F-OGYO (see below) in Jul-00. The aircraft was sold to a commercial lessor, leased back to Yemenia and re-registered 7O-ADR in Sep-07.
It suffered an incident at Cairo, Egypt on 30-Jun-19. Just after departure for Aden, Yemen, there was a medical emergency on board and the aircraft immediately returned to Cairo for an overweight landing and burst some of its mainwheel tyres. It was stored at Cairo in Jul-19 and as far as I'm aware, it never left. Permanently retired, updated 13-Feb-25.
Note: Aircraft leased from French leasing companies were/are sometimes registered using the French Overseas registration prefix F-Oxxx. In this case you can see that when the lessor changed in Sep-07, the aircraft was able to be registered in Yemen.

SEe13 (LJ66CFM) is seen at London Bridge having deadrunned with "Railway Replacement" on the blinds.
The driver pulled up to this stand and to make this photo more unique it features a SE train above it :-P
Conditions were poor grey and overcast, a pair of Red Kites headed towards me and then from out of nowhere at least two maybe four Hobbies attacked them (now 150 yards away) , the photo's are not good due to poor light and the distance they were away so had to heavy crop, the original sky was grey so I replaced it.
It is possible that the Red Kite got hold of the Hobbies foot in its beak but it's a job to tell.

The PL 17 replaced the Dyna Z and was presented on June 29, 1959. For model year 1961 a cabriolet was added followed by an estate version in April 1963.
Late 1963 the PL 17 range underwent a minor facelift for the 1964 model year (Note the chrome ornament strip between the head lamps has disappeared, and the indicator lamps were changed).
Responsible for the avant garde design of the PL 17 and his predecessor Dyna Z was Louis Bionier (1898-1973) in cooperation with André Jouan.
In 1965 Citroën became full owner of Panhard. In the same year production of the PL 17 has ceased.
I found this PL 17 Cabrio during a holiday trip to the south of France.
The yellow car in the back was my car at that time. It was a 1982 Ford Escort Van 1300 which I had converted into a compact mobile home.

First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWIC, this aircraft was delivered to GPA Airbus 320 (later to become part of GECAS) and leased to Canadian Airlines International as C-GQCA in Jul-91. Canadian Airlines International was merged into Air Canada in Apr-01. It was transferred to Air Canada 'Tango' in Feb-02 and then to Air Canada 'Jetz' in Oct-03. The aircraft returned to Air Canada mainline in May-12. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic the aircraft was stored at Kansas City, MO, USA in Oct-20. Now over 29 years old, it probably won't survive Air Canada's COVID retirement programme. Stored, updated (Dec-20).
The Palace of Culture of Iași is a building combining the romantic neo-Gothic and neo-baroque styles, built between 1906 and 1925 according to the plans of the architect ID Berindey, to replace the old princely court of Moldavia which was in ruined. With this building, King Carol I wanted to offer a real symbol to the city. The central tower of the courthouse and administration building, which reaches 55 meters high, meant that the palace was the tallest building in the city, with a footprint of 7,330 square meters and a total area of 34,236 square meters.
In addition to its monumentality and beauty, the building is distinguished by modern technical installations and equipment, purchased in Germany, as well as by the hardware manufactured by the Haug house and by the famous French companies Krieger, Mericier and Bagvès. The furniture of the Palace of Justice, in neo-Gothic style, was designed and produced in the famous Albert Goumain workshops in Paris and by the firm Mappel in England.
In 1955, it was named "Palace of Culture" and today houses 4 museums:
The Moldavian History Museum,
The Art Museum,
The Ethnographic Museum,
The Ștefan Procopiu Science and Technology Museum (including a collection of musical devices).

Die dreischiffige Stadtpfarrkirche St.Johannes Baptist wurde nach dem großen Stadtbrand von 1388 im Stil der Spätgotik wieder aufgebaut und 1409 fertiggestellt. Gut zwei Jahrzehnte nach dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg (1618 bis 1648) wurde das Kircheninnere um 1670 barock umgestaltet.
Das Gewölbe im Kirchenschiff wurde großzügig umgestaltet und Stuckateurmeister Matthias Schmuzer verschönerte das Hauptschiff mit Stuckdekor. 1672 ließ man einen neuen, in München gefertigten Hochaltar aufstellen und man ersetzte in den Folgejahren die Seitenaltäre. Im Laufe des 18. Jahrhunderts fertigten namhafte Augsburger und Münchner Goldschmiede Geräte und Schmuck der Inneneinrichtung.
The three-aisled parish church of St. Johannes Baptist was rebuilt after the great city fire of 1388 in the style of late Gothic and completed in 1409. A good two decades after the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), the church interior was redecorated around 1670 Baroque.
The vault in the nave was generously redesigned and stucco master Matthias Schmuzer embellished the nave with stucco decoration. In 1672 a new high altar made in Munich was erected and in the following years the side altars were replaced. During the 18th century, well-known Augsburg and Munich goldsmiths made devices and jewelery of the interior.

The Sangi Railway in Mie Prefecture somewhat recently announced that their fleet of 1960's and 70's era EMU's used for their local services would be replaced with "newer" secondhand 211 Series from JR Central, starting in 2025. Even though the 211's have their roots from the JNR era, displacing mid-century relics is still sad to see. It was fun while it lasted.

Replaced the Cotton Bag with a Square Bottom Paper Bag.
In Ballston Spa West gradually acquired nine water-powered mills on Kayaderosseras Creek by 1879 manufacturing cotton, paper, and paper bags.
West was called "The Paper Bag King" because he was one of the first men in the country to manufacture paper bags at a time when most bags were made from cotton

Notre-Dame is the present parish church of Aigueperse
The first construction work dates back to 1016. However, it only acquired its final form at the end of the 12th century, when the chancel and transept were built in their present form. It is considered the first Gothic building in the Auvergne. In 1253, it was elevated to the status of a collegiate church.
The church was completely restored in 1865. The nave and facade were rebuilt in 1880, replacing a nave that had been reconstructed in 1734 after its collapse in 1727. A new bell tower north of the transept replaced the one destroyed during the French Revolution.

Original 'Star Alliance' livery featuring the six founding members of the alliance, Air Canada, Lufthansa, United Airlines, Varig Brazil, SAS Scandinavian Airlines and Thai Airways International.
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWJF, this aircraft was delivered to Air Canada as C-FYLD in Apr-97.

The aircraft was leased to Gestair (Spain) as EC-KSE in May-08 and operated on behalf of Iberia in full Iberia livery.
It was returned to Air Canada as G-CHSJ in Feb-13 and stored at Sao Paulo - Guarulhos, Brazil. The aircraft remained stored until it was leased to Aerolineas Argentinas as LV-FPU in Dec-13. It was permanently retired at San Bernardino, CA, USA in Mar-20 and broken up there in 2021.
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.

I must admit that I'm not particularly keen on underside shots like this, they invariably produce a silhouette. This one isn't bad though!
The Boeing 747-400D was built for the Japanese Domestic market and had no winglets. They didn't do anything for fuel efficiency on short sectors and omitting them saved weight. Only 19 were built for Japan Air Lines and All Nippon Airways, they had a maximum passenger capacity of 660.
This aircraft was delivered to ANA All Nippon Airways as JA8959 in Jan-93. It was in service with ANA for almost 20 years before being permanently retired at Tupelo, MS, USA in Oct-12. The registration was cancelled 3 days later.
Rocket Ships
And before you know it
rocket ships will give way
to broken hearts.
Flying horses will become
missed appointments,
and
Crayolas become
colorful pills that ease
the divorce…
The tooth fairy
puts on a suit and
collects
Taxes.
Death replaces
the ice cream truck.
And yet
You will dream of
rocket ships.

Whiteford Lighthouse, Whiteford Point, Gower, Wales.
This lighthouse was built in 1865 by the Llanelli Harbour and Burry Navigation Commissioners, replacing an earlier wooden piled structure. The lighthouse remained in use until the 1920s.
The lighthouse is principally built from a series of cast iron plates which have been bolted together. This particular lighthouse is unusual that the flanges of the panels and the bolts are on the exterior whereas normally cast iron lighthouses are bolted together on the inside. Internally the lighthouse is lined with brick, two rooms below the lantern served as accommodation and stores. A pitched stone apron surrounds the base of the lighthouse, The apron is being eroded by the sea, which is also undermining the base of the tower.
This is the one of a small number of surviving cast iron lighthouses in the United Kingdom and the only to be swept by the waves.
The lighthouse stands to a height of about 15 metres and stands in around 6 metres of water at high tide. The base of the lighthouse can be accessed on foot as low tide.

I was in Hannover for the Airshow in 1964, on a chartered British Eagle Viscount.
Named: "Clipper Heidelberg".
For anyone who might wonder what Pan-Am DC-6B's were doing in Hannover. After the second World War, the Russians decreed that the new Lufthansa would not be allowed to use the three air corridors from West Germany to Berlin. Only aircraft of the other joint powers (UK, USA & France) were permitted. So BEA used BAC One-Elevens, Pan-Am used DC-6B's (and later B727's) and Air France used Caravelles.
This aircraft was delivered to Pan American World Airways as N6526C in May-52. It was leased to PANAGRA Pan American Grace Airways in 1958 and returned to Pan Am in 1959.
It was leased to Capital Airlines in Jan-60 and returned to Pan Am in May-61. In May-62 the aircraft was leased to Aerovias Panama as HP-359 and returned to Pan Am in Jan-63 when it was transferred to operations in West Germany.
It was withdrawn from service and stored at Miami, FL, USA in Mar-68. The aircraft was sold to Air Lease Inc in Sep-68 and was sold on to Concare Aircraft Leasing in Oct-70. It was sold to Inair Panama as HP-539 (not a typo with the above). Sadly, it was written off when it crashed at Manaus, Brasil in Apr-72.
Note: The aircraft was off the centreline and too high on an ILS approach into Manaus on a ferry flight. The runway alignment was corrected but the rate of descent increased and the nosegear collapsed when it hit a wall, 12 mts / 40 feet short of the runway. The aircraft slid along the runway for about 300 mts and was damaged beyond repair.

Originally registered to the Bristol Aeroplane Company as G-AMLJ, it later used the Bristol temporary registration G-18-116 before being delivered to Aer Lingus in Jul-52 as EI-AFR.
It was sold to Skyways Ltd in Jun-55 but wasn't returned to the UK Register as G-AMLJ until 3 months later. In Dec-55 Skyways sold it to Middle East Airlines as OD-ACM.

It was sold to Aer Turas Ireland in Mar-66 as EI-APC. Aer Turas flew it for more than 6 years until it was sold in France in Dec-72 to Transportes Aeriens Reunis as F-BTYO. It was retired at Nice, France, in 1976 and broken up.

This aircraft was delivered to JAL Japan Airlines as JA8155 in Dec-81. It was sold JAA Japan Asia Airways in Feb-92 and leased back to JAL. It was returned to JAA in May-93 and was operated by them until it was sold to Kalitta as N743CK in Nov-06. The aircraft was ferried to Kalitta's base at Oscoda, MI, USA and permanently retired. It was gradually dismantled for spare parts. The aircraft was last noted at Oscoda in Jul-08 without engines and missing many parts. The registration was cancelled in Dec-09.
Note 1... Quite a few years ago the Chinese Government in Beijing brought in a rule that said airlines operating services to Taiwan could not operate into mainland China. Quite a few airlines then created subsidiaries for flights to Taiwan. JAL with JAA, KLM with KLM asia, British Airways with British Asia Airways, Swissair with Swissair Asia etc. I think it's only KLM who still have aircraft painted with these titles. Japan Asia Airways was merged back into JAL mainline at the end of Mar-08.
Note 2... The registration N743CK was re-issued to an ex JAL B747-400(F) which was sold to Kalitta Air in Nov-10.
