Delivered to Euralair, France as F-GINL in Mar-92, this aircraft was leased to Air France in Oct-92 and returned to Euralair in Mar-98. On it's return to Euralair, it was sold to a leasing company and leased back.
In Apr-98 it was sub-leased to AOM Air Outre Mer, France. The lease was transferred to AOM in Aug-98. The aircraft was returned to the lessor in Oct-00 and was leased to LOT Polish Airlines as SP-LKI the following month.
Returning to the lessor in May-04, it was immediately leased to SkyEurope Airlines as OM-SEE. It was returned to the lessor in Feb-07 and leased to Aeroflot-Nord later the same month as VP-BRE.
Aeroflot-Nord was renamed Nordavia Regional Airlines in 2010 after Aeroflot withdrew it's franchise agreement. I think the aircraft was permanently retired at Arkhangelsk, Russia in mid 2011 (I'm unable to find any photos of it after May-11). It was broken up at Arkhangelsk in early 2019.
The registration VP-BRE was re-issued in Aug-17 to a Boeing 767-3W0ER of Royal Flight, Russia.
I was asked to take some family photos but with a twist ... or a Teddy to be specific. It was a glum day, cold and muggy. I didnt really plan for the day because it was short notice so we took a big bag full of props. This Teddy inspired a few ideas and the shoot was a success
Every bear that there ever was, would gather there for certain because, today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic ...

The Debtors Prison was built as the new county gaol in 1705, replacing earlier buildings of York Castle which had been used as prison buildings. This included several of the towers of the medieval castle. The drawing will show part of the motte and Clifford's Tower. In the foreground is the approximate site of the Waud mansion, built at the beginning of the 18th century and incorporating Clifford's Tower in its garden. Drawn with a Pentel 0.3mm mechanical pencil and Tombow Mono Zero eraser in an A4 cartridge paper sketchbook.

Northbound train 555, the CP Rail number replacing the D&H era PYRP and WR-7 symbols, winds along the old Lackawanna mainline at Conklin, a short distance away from East Binghamton Yard, on 24 June 1991. Leading an assortment of Norfolk Southern power is a Chessie System SD40-2, one of only 20 units from that carrier that joined the CSX roster. Before they were rivals, the two southern giants assisted the D&H in maintaining some competition against Conrail, the Northeastern kingpin that by the end of the decade would join the D&H into history at the hands of NS and CSX.

Neiman-Marcus replaces the old City of Paris department store, a building that, thanks to its exquisite oval rotunda topped by a stained-glass dome, was as beloved a building as any in downtown San Francisco. Not surprisingly, San Franciscans were not pleased when Neiman-Marcus announced in 1974 that it had bought the old City of Paris building, which it intended to demolish for a brand-new department store; even Neiman-Marcus's agreement to preserve the rotunda within the framework of Mr. Johnson's and Mr. Burgee's new structure, a checkerboard box of reddish granite, did not mollify the opposition.
But the plan went ahead, and now that the building is done and the store is open, it is easy to see that the preservation-minded folk of this town knew wherefrom they spoke. For the Neiman-Marcus building, even with the gracious rotunda preserved, is one of this city's most conspicuous architectural mistakes. It is an awkward intrusion into San Francisco, a building that struggles to reflect a certain spirit and ends up, instead, capturing that spirit under glass and nearly suffocating it.
The City of Paris rotunda represents the vigor, optimism, and bold elegance with which San Francisco rebuilt itself following 1906. At least four generations of San Franciscans hold the sight of a sixty-foot Christmas tree under the gigantic lead glass dome as one of their best memories. The motto set in the uppermost glass panel of the rotunda remains the undeniable sentiment of San Francisco itself: Fluctuat nec mergitur . 146
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
"Hier encore, j'avais vingt ans, je caressais le temps
J'ai joué de la vie
Comme on joue de l'amour et je vivais la nuit
Sans compter sur mes jours qui fuyaient dans le temps
J'ai fait tant de projets qui sont restés en l'air
J'ai fondé tant d'espoirs qui se sont envolés
Que je reste perdu, ne sachant où aller
Les yeux cherchant le ciel, mais le cœur mis en terre......"

The purpose of life is to enjoy every moment and every step, regardless of where we are when the music ends..
Many of us are seduced into believing that having goals is necessary for a successful life, especially since we’ve been brainwashed by slogans. Not having a goal is more to be feared than not reaching a goal. This kind of logic keeps us from feeling inspired There is no goal to be reached. There is nothing to be attained. You are the Self. You exist always. Now this is real inspiration.
A more rewarding spiritual truth is that there’s only now – and when this moment passes, it will be replaced by another one, ad infinitum..
Enjoy every moment..live intensively...feel with all your senses and be inspired!
Wishing you plenty of new full of inspiration "clics"
NAMASTE!

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.

Operated for Airbus Industrie by Aeromaritime.
This aircraft was built from parts of other Boeing 377 / C-97's. It was first registered N211AS to Aero Spacelines Inc, California, USA in Sep-69 and had it's first flight in Aug-70.
It was delivered to Aeromaritime, France as F-BTGV in Sep-71 and operated on behalf of Airbus Industrie for 25 years until it was retired in Jun-96.
The aircraft was ferried to Bruntingthorpe, UK in early Jul-96 and presented to a preservation group. It stayed at Bruntingthorpe for another 25 years. Unfortunately the airfield owner sold the land in Nov-20 and as the aircraft could no longer fly, it was broken up in Jan-21, which is very sad!
However, the flight deck section from the swinging nose has been preserved and is awaiting display at the South Wales Air Museum at St. Athan, UK. Updated 12-Mar-22.
There is another one in the museum at Toulouse Airport...

The aircraft was returned to Air Atlanta in Nov-05 and stored at Shannon, Ireland for the winter. It was sub-leased to Excel Airways as G-VKNB in Apr-06, now with updated 'XL,com' tail titles. It was returned to Air Atlanta and the lessor in Nov-06 when it was sold to Aeroturbine Inc (USA) as N314ST. The aircraft was stored until it was converted to freighter configuration with a main deck cargo door and leased to VARIGLOG Cargo (Brasil) as PR-LGH in Apr-07. It was returned to the lessor in Mar-10 and stored at Jacksonville-Cecil Field, FL, USA. It was leased to DHL Aviation Services as A9C-DHC (Bahrain) in Sep-11. In Apr-17 the aircraft was due to be transferred to DHL's Central American subsidiary DHL Aero Espresso. However that didn't happen and the aircraft was stored at San Jose, Costa Rica. It was returned to the lessor as N314ST in Jun-17 and moved to Goodyear, AZ, USA in Jan-18. In Aug-18 it was sold to TVPX Aircraft Solutions and remained stored at Goodyear until it was moved to Budapest, Hungary in Jun-19 for further long term storage. Now almost 36 years old, it's doubtful that it will return to service. Stored, updated 18-Apr-21.

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.

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.

no crop
I made some changes in my web site
I added a new folder with new photos (some of them are not news, but unknown) - "Not yet in the proper folder"...only to present something new and give some dynamic to the website. The photos on this folder will be moved to the... proper folders (People, Street moments, Rainy Days, etc) after some time and other different photos will replace them.
The bandwidth is larger, too so I hope the navigation is faster now...
If possible I would like to know your opinion
Thank you for your attention.

I've given up on the C-47 histories, too complex and often incomplete...
This one went to the Norwegian forerunner of SAS (DNL) as LN-IAS in 1946, it was merged into SAS in Oct-52 and was sold to Fairways Rotterdam. The source I was looking at said it went to Fairways in Jan-66, yet here it is in Liverpool in Dec-64!
The Netherlands does re-use registrations though!
