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.

The Daf A-1500 Series trucks were replaced by A-1600 truck. It received a new designed cabin in 1959 and a new range of engines. The four-part windshield with a central split was only used in 1959. For the 1960 model cabin the central split disappeared.
The first series had a three horizontal strip front grille, in 1964 reduced to only two strips. Around 1964 the small ventilation openings under the A-pillar were replaced by two small ventilation grilles alongside the cooling grille.
This Daf A1600 flatbed was used as a mobile podium by Stichting Theaterstraat. The photo was made during a performance or demonstration which I forgot. I think I had more attention for this old truck.

The new window replaces one which was in a poor and fragile condition, and was dedicated in a service of choral evensong on 9th February 2025. It was designed by the internationally acclaimed stained-glass artist and painter Thomas Denny, who based the various scenes on the theme of “Seeing the Glory of God”. This is expressed in the centre of the window in the story of the Transfiguration of Christ, divinity seen amongst us.

Leased from/op by TransAer International. TransAer (previously Translift) was one of the original ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance & Insurance) companies operating services for other airlines. The history below only shows major sub-leases but there were lots of 'one-off' and short-term leases in between.
I was dreading doing the history for this aircraft, it goes on for ever...
First flown in Apr-93 with the Airbus test registration F-WWIZ, this aircraft was delivered to the Orix Aircraft Corporation as N429RX in Jul-93 and stored until it was leased to Translift Airways as EI-TLE in Oct-93.
It was wet-leased to Leisure Air (USA) between Nov-94/Apr-95, TransMeridian Airways (USA) between Dec-95/Apr-96, Turkish Airlines between May/Oct-96 and TransMeridian Airways between Nov-97/Apr-97.
Translift was renamed TransAer in May-97 and became TransAer International Airways in Sep-97.

The aircraft was returned to the lessor in Nov-99 (TransAer ceased operationa a year later in Oct-00). In Jan-00 it was leased to Airtours International Airways as G-BYTH. It was transferred to Airtours German operation, flyFTI (Frosch Touristik International) as D-ASSR in Apr-00 for the summer season, returning to Airtours as G-BYTH in Nov-00.
It was sub-leased to Skyservice Airlines (Canada) as C-GTDM in Dec-01. Confusingly, it was sub-sub-leased back to Airtours for the summer season in Apr-02. Airtours was renamed MyTravel Airlines in May-02.
The aircraft was returned to Skyservice Airlines (on paper) in Nov-02 and became G-BYTH the same day on return to MyTravel. It was transferred to MyTravel Lite in May-03 (MyTravel's attempt at 'low-cost' - it didn't work!) and was based at Birmingham (UK) for the summer season.
It returned to MyTravel Airways in Nov-03 and was sub-leased to Skyservice Airlines as C-GTDM in Dec-03, returning to MyTravel as G-BYTH in Apr-04. It was sub-leased to Skyservice again (as C-GTDM) between Nov-04/Apr-05 and between Nov-05/Apr-06.
As G-BYTH the aircraft continued in service with MyTravel. The MyTravel Group was merged into Thomas Cook Airlines in Mar-08 and it continued in service until it was returned to the lessor in Apr-10.
Later that month the aircraft was leased to Skywest Airlines (Australia) as VH-FNP. Skywest entered a franchise agreement with Virgin Australia in May-13, operating as Virgin Australia Regional Airlines.

This two-storeyed former hotel was constructed in 1885 for Brisbane publican Daniel Costigan. It replaced a previous, less substantial structure on the site, which had functioned as the Plough Inn since 1864. The new building was erected during South Brisbane's heyday and was part of the 1880s boom-time reconstruction of Stanley Street premises.
The building was designed by architect Alexander B. Wilson, who is more known for his domestic work. It was built by contractor Abraham James, whose tender of £3,300 was accepted in March 1885.
The hotel, prominently located in central Stanley Street, serviced the commercial heart of South Brisbane. Its proximity to the South Brisbane wharves ensured its popularity amongst those engaged in shipping interests.
Initially the L-shaped interior comprised on the ground floor: a central hall, staircase, dining room, two private rooms (probably for dining also), bar, parlour, storage spaces, billiard room, and lavatories; the first floor contained fourteen guest rooms and a bathroom. A verandah along the back of the building connected it to a detached single-storey kitchen. A cellar completed the facilities.
The building has been altered a number of times since its initial construction. In 1922, additions were made by contractors Robertson and Corbette, following the designs of GHM Addison and Son. It is thought that the street awning was added at this time.
In 1987 the building was modified to function as a tavern during Expo '88. Most of the internal walls were removed, the central fireplace and chimney were taken out, and the interior was re-fitted. Also the front verandah was widened, the rear verandah extended, and windows and doors replaced at this time.
In 1991 - 1992 a conservation plan for the Plough Inn was prepared by Bruce Buchanan architects, and the interior was fully refurbished. The front verandah was also reconstructed.

The aircraft continued in service with British Airways until it was sold to British Air Ferries in Mar-81. It was retired and stored at Southend, UK in Mar-84 and was broken up at Southend by 1994.
Edit: I probably replaced this like three or 4 times, but I think I finally got it right. The original had a purple tint to it and window streaks that made the image look more..."creepy" (as said by my friend). So I edited...and hopefully this is better.
Oh would it mean anything
If you knew
What I'm left imagining
In my mind
Would you go
Kiss the rain
And you'd fall over me
Think of me
Only me
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone too long
If your lips
Feel hungry and tempted
Kiss the rain
and wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We're under the same skies
And the nights
As empty for me, as for you
If you feel
You can't wait till morning
Kiss the rain
