I never particularly liked this livery and always wondered why the 'airways' didn't have a capital 'A'. I liked it even less when they took the 'airways' away altogether and just had the billboard 'British'. I felt it looked unfinished...
With additional tiny 'Cambrian' titles on the lower forward fuselage.

2021: RM Sotheby's Auction, Monterey
The elegant village of Semur, listed as Un des plus beaux villages de France (“One of the Most Beautiful Villages in France”), although I am not at all sure it deserves the title when compared to truly stunning villages such as Èze, Pérouges or Collonges-la-Rouge, is the capital of the small barony of Brionnais, at the extreme southwestern tip of the old duchy of Burgundy.
The Semur family of local barons would have gone basically unnoticed through History, had it not been for Hugues, born in 1024, who went on to become probably the most famous abbot of Cluny, having succeeded Odilon de Mercœur from 1049 until 1109. Builder of the so-called “Cluny III” abbey church, the largest ever in Christendom, he considerably expanded the Order of Cluny (which was part of the Benedictines) all over Europe during his 60-year abbacy.
One of the most powerful people (and one of the most learned minds) of his time, later canonized by the Church as saint Hugues (Hugh in English), he sent architects and builders from Cluny to his native small town of Semur-en-Brionnais to build this church dedicated to Saint Hilaire (Hillary in English). Hugues himself never saw the church being built, as its oldest parts (traditionally, the apse and apsidioles, the choir and transept, and the beginning of the nave) were erected during the years 1115-1130, but then construction was interrupted and did not resume until around 1170. The portals were finished and decorated during the 1180s, towards the end of the Romanesque age, at a point when many consider the Romanesque art was already “perverted” by mannerisms announcing the age of the Gothic.
Saint-Hilaire was turned into a college church in 1274 when Baron Jean de Semur and the bishop of Autun jointly incorporated a college of 13 canons to take care of the Opus Dei in the church. Damaged during the Hundred Years War (1364), and yet again during the Wars of Religion (1576), the church was listed as a Historic Landmark in 1862 and the stone vaulting which had been destroyed and replaced temporarily by a timber roof, was rebuilt.
Being the last Romanesque church ever built in the Brionnais, Saint-Hilaire skillfully incorporates tradition from the local art, and inputs from the most noble and powerful house of Cluny, which was then undoubtedly the dominant power in Western Christendom, above and beyond the Pope —in practice, if not in principle.
The other (northern) side of the western portal shows an architectural and decorative layout that is exactly symmetrical to that of the southern side.

After 27 years in service, the aircraft was retired at Victorville, CA, USA in Mar-01. The registration was cancelled in Jul-03.
My mom (Nanay in our dialect) left us for almost 4 months now but I still feel she is still around. I announced it here on flickr when she died and thanks to everyone who expressed their condolences and said some prayers for my mom's soul.
When I was taking pictures at Woodlawn Cemetery for my Halloween project, I found this tombstone labeled "MOTHER" and that reminded me of everything about mom. I always shed tears when mom comes to my mind. She was the center of love and care in the family. When I needed help, she was always there to assist and comfort me. I will forever miss my mom till the day I die. Hopefully, we'll meet in heaven with my dad if that will be my final destination.
I love you mom.
This song was always sang by my mom when I was a kid. So, I am sharing you an old song and a favorite of mine.
Mama

When the evening shadows fall
and the lovely day is through,
Then with longing I recall
the years I spent with you.
Mama, I miss the days
when you were near to guide me,
Mama, those happy days
when you were here beside me.
Safe in the glow of your love,
Sent from the heavens above,
Nothing can ever replace
The warmth of your tender embrace.
Oh, Mama, until the day
that we're together once more,
I'll live in these memories
Until the day that we're together once more.
BTW, this is not HDR.

Metroline's DE1670 (YX09AFA) is seen in South Harrow on the 487. I took a ride on this, and it was awful. It wouldn't even climb a hill. Also the route is crowded - does the route need double deck vehicles? Post your opinions in the comments.
The main foyer grand staircase at Teatro Colón offers a hint of the opulence inside.
This building replaces the old Teatro Colón built in front of the Plaza de Mayo the site of stands the Banco Nación today.
Construction of the new building took approximately 20 years.
The foundation stone was placed 25 May, 1890, with the intention of opening the theatre before 12 October, 1892 coinciding with the fourth centenary of the discovery of America.
The initial project architect was Francesco Tamburini. Tamburini died in 1891 and work continued by his partner, Víctor Meano.
The work continued until 1894, then stagnated for financial reasons.
In 1904, after the death of Meano, the government commissioned Belgian Jules Dormal to complete the work.
Dormal introduced some structural modifications and definitely left his stamp on the French style decoration.
The theatre finally opened 25 May, 1908 with the opera Aida by Giuseppe Verdi.
May 25th is an important date in Argentina as it marks the annual celebration of the May Revolution.
May 25th is known as el Día de la Revolución de Mayo, or the Day of the May Revolution. The day marks the creation of the First Junta, a local authority that took over governance of Buenos Aires from the Spanish Viceroyalty on this date in 1810.

Not many aircraft were repainted with Caledonian//BUA titles, so photo's are not that common.
Named: "Isle of Harris".
G-AWYV was delivered new to BUA British United Airways in Jun-69, BUA was merged into Caledonian Airways (like a minnow swallowing a whale!) in Nov-70 and Caledonian became Caledonian//BUA.
The BUA name was dropped in Sep-71 when it was renamed British Caledonian Airways. B.Cal was itself merged into British Airways in Apr-88. The aircraft continued with British Airways until it was retired in Mar-93 after 24 years in service and stored at Bournemouth, UK.
It was sold to European Aviation in Jul-94 and leased to subsidiary European Air Charter in Mar-95. It was sub-leased to Maersk Air UK a year later in Mar-96, returning to European Air Charter in May-98.
In May-99 it was briefly (2 weeks!) sub-leased to Debonair (UK). On 1st April 2002, the EU brought in stricter noise limits and even with hush-kits fitted, the One-Eleven was still too noisy to comply.
The European Aviation Group were the only ones still operating One-Elevens in Europe and in Mar-02 G-AWYV was retired at Bournemouth, UK, after 33 years service. It was broken up there in late 2003.
The forward fuselage was preserved under private ownership at Alton, UK, and was reported as being at the Alton Garden Centre, painted pale blue, in 2015.

Named: "City of Vienna".
First flown with the Douglas test registration N8963U, this aircraft was delivered to KLM Royal Dutch Airlines as PH-DNN in Apr-68 (just two months before this photo was taken).
The 'RC' version of the DC-9 was built with a main-deck cargo door and could be used for passengers, cargo, or a combination of both.
It flew with KLM for 19 years until it was returned to PK Finans International in Feb-87. It was sold to United Aviation Services Inc as N35UA in Mar-87 and sold on to the Con-Av Corporation the following month.
It was leased to Evergreen Airlines in May-87 and was re-registered N931F in Oct-87. It was operating cargo flights for the USAF and was written off when it crashed near Saginaw, Texas, on 19-Mar-89.
Note: The aircraft was operating a cargo contract for the USAF. On arrival at Fort Worth - Carswell AFB, TX, the cargo offload and onload was carried out by USAF staff. The aircraft departed for it's next stop at Oklahoma City - Tinker AFB and just after take-off the main cargo door half opened.
The Captain declared an emergency and continued the climb to 2,500 ft. During a shallow right turn the airflow caught the cargo door which opened fully to its top position. This caused the right turn to deepen until it passed the point of no return and the aircraft crashed upside down and disintegrated. Both flight crew died.
The First Officer had been operating the cargo door during the turnround and it appeared he didn't hold the door control down for long enough to allow the locks to engage properly.
