Lockheed Tristar prototype visiting East Midlands (EMA) for a presentation to Rolls Royce staff.
This was the 3rd prototype Tristar and was originally to have been N302EA. However it first flew as N301EA with Lockheed not long before this photo was taken.
It was re-registered N302EA by Lockheed in Feb-73 at the end of the test programme and delivered to Eastern Air Lines in May-73. Eastern Air Lines ceased operating in Jan-91 and the aircraft was bought from the liquidator by Delta Air Lines in Mar-91.
It was re-registered N781DL in Jun-91. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair in Aug-95 after suffering a sudden decompression at 33,000 feet shortly after departure from Los Angeles en-route to Honolulu, causing severe damage to the airframe and the rear bulkhead separated from the fuselage crown.
The crew carried out an emergency descent to 14,000 feet and returned safely to Los Angeles. The aircraft was now 24 years old and due to the cost of repairs, Delta decided to retire it.
The aircraft was sold back to Lockheed almost immediately and used for testing in their 'Ageing Aircraft' programme. In Oct-95 the aircraft was ferried to Dobbins AFB, Marietta, GA., where it was eventually broken up.

Late at night, a manifest bound for the Belt Railway of Chicago lights up the CP 507 signals on NS's Chicago Line at Whiting (Hammond), Indiana. The Pennsy-style signals here have been replaced, but were some of the newest anywhere, having been installed around the time of the Conrail breakup, mostly to accommodate a new crossover that allows Amtrak trains to access the Hammond-Whiting station platform.

Basic Starways livery with British Westpoint titles.
When British Eagle took over 'Starways of Liverpool' on 01-Jan-64, their C-47's, C-54's and 2 Viscounts were transferred to Aviation Overhauls. Some, like this C-47 were leased out. G-AMPO was leased to British Westpoint still in basic Starways livery. Like many new airlines of the time, British Westpoint didn't last long.
Originally ordered in 1944, this aircraft was delivered to the USAAF US Army Air Forces serialled 44-76853 in 1945. It was almost immediately transferred to the RAF Royal Air Force as KN566, a Dakota 4.
The aircraft was sold to 'J A Wilson' (Starways) in Feb-52 as G-AMPO and transferred to 'Starways of Liverpool' in Feb-53. It was leased to Eagle Aircraft Services in May-54 and returned to Starways in 1956. On 31-Dec-63, it was transferred to Aviation Overhauls when British Eagle took over the Starways routes on 01-Jan-64.
It was leased to British Westpoint Airlines in Jan-64, returned to Aviation Overhauls in Jan-65 and was sold to Polaris Air Transport (Norway) as LN-RTO in Feb-65. The aircraft returned to the UK as G-AMPO in Sep-69 when it was sold to Field Aircraft Services.

Fleet No: "7005"
First flown with the Boeing test registration N50217, this aircraft was delivered to Delta Air Lines as N864DA in Dec-99.
When the COVID-19 Pandemic hit the world in Mar-20, Delta Air Lines made the decision to permanently withdraw their Boeing 777 fleet. This aircraft was stored at Victorville, CA, USA in Oct-20.
It was sold to the 'Arizona Cardinals' (Phoenix based American Football Team) in Oct-22 when it was ferried to Marana, AZ, USA and stored. It appears to be a 'spares' aircraft as the Arizona Cardinals operate sister ship N867DA (now re-registered N777AZ) in their full livery. Updated 08-Feb-24.

Named: "Holidayliner Freedom".
Sadly, this beautiful DC-10 didn't last long. Built with a main deck cargo door, this aircraft could be used for either passengers or cargo. It was delivered to ONA Overseas National Airways as N1032F in Jun-73 and was written off at New York-Kennedy just 2.5 years later on 12-Nov-75.
Note:
The aircraft was departing on a ferry flight from New York-Kennedy to Frankfurt and Jeddah at the start of a series of Haj Pilgrimage charter flights with 129 staff passengers and 10 crew.
During the take-off run the aircraft hit a large flock of seagulls on the runway and the take-off was abandoned. The damage to the No:3 engine fan blades caused a rotation imbalance and the compressor case disintegrated, causing a fire in the engine pylon and the right wing.
It also damaged the No:3 hydraulic system which affected the aircraft braking and the No:3 thrust reverser couldn't be deployed.
The runway was wet and it was apparent that the aircraft was not going to stop on the runway, so the crew steered onto a taxiway with the aircraft still doing 40kts which caused the undercarriage to collapse. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair. There were no fatalities.

It was foggy at London-Gatwick on this particular morning. I had the whole fleet at Manchester, G-GCAL was around the corner.
These aircraft were parked out on a taxiway opposite the Fire Station and where the new Control Tower is located. My ramp car didn't have a radio so I had to get a lift out there with the Servisair guys.

In Dec-86 it was sold to a 'Samuel Azar'. He sold it to (presumably!) his brother, 'Gab Azer' in Jul-88 and it found itself in Zaire the same month, re-registered 9Q-CFT with Fontshi Aviation Service.
By now the aircraft was 28 years old, a great age for an early turbo-jet Boeing 720. It continued in service until Oct-90 when it was involved in a runway over-run at Mbuji-Maji, Zaire (I'm unable to find further details). It never flew again and was stored at Mbuji where it remained. It was photographed still at Mbuji in Feb-06, derelict but intact and complete with engines. It's thought to have been broken up in mid 2011.

Shyamali Paul replaces a damaged LED bulb with a new one at a Chrysanthemum flower cultivation farm at a village in West Bengal, the eastern state of India. Here farmers with the help of microfinancing to cultivate Chrysanthemum flowers which are exported to Europe and USA apart from other states of India. Farmers light up their fields with LED bulbs at night to get quality production of ornamental flower like Chrysanthemum. Here fellow flower growers shifted to a new innovative method of farming as they strung up rows of 9Watt LED bulbs across their fields and kept these switched on from sunset till dawn for 7-10 days during the budding stage.
The innovation of thousands of LED bulbs are switched on during the night to give the plants artificial, “day-like” light to compensate for its lack during the daytime cover-up. It was found the plants showed stunted growth when kept the lights on at night and the quality of his chrysanthemums was also very good.
The process is by exposing the plant to a continuous phase of light even at dusk they are enhancing the process of photosynthesis, which means the plant cooks way more food than it can cook only from the sunlight it receives in the morning. With the process being repeated over a period of days, the plant gets engaged in cooking and storing the food and then when the lights are suddenly cut off, the plant grows at a very fast rate with enough nutrition for a good quality produce. During the process, the farmers need to maintain a perfect balance between the periods of light and darkness.
Three years back, their business was floundering, now suddenly things have changed on which more than 5000 farmers’ families are depending on Chrysanthemum flower cultivation.

St.Pinnock Viaduct nestling in the Glynn Valley was rebuilt by raising the piers and replacing the timber with iron girders in 1882. The line was singled over this viaduct during May 1964 to reduce the load on the structure. Here we see the Railhead Treatment Train (RHTT) glide downgrade on one of its first runs of the season, hence its still relatively clean! RHTTs operate in order to get rid of “contamination” on rails in leaf fall season, blasting the rail head with a water jet before applying 'sandite'.

I'm working on an anthology of classic, epic poetry, which begins with selections from Homer's Iliad and Odyssey! :) I've replaced the Roman names with the Greek names: "RAGE, Sing, O goddess, the rage of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Greeks. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Zeus fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another."
All the best on your epic hero's odyssey into the art of photography!
