For a couple of years or so on and off at work we've been batting the restoration of this Freight Rover 'Sherpa' 400 minibus. It's far from our usual fayre and has demanded a very different skill-set in many ways. Large buses are almost infinitely restorable, but these small vehicles are quite car like and tend to disolve away. In its favour, although the drive train was weak on the FR product, the chassis is better than the equivalent Fort Transit.
Thanks to the committment of a dedicated owner who's wanted to bank-roll the project, this particular Badgerline example will hopefully live again. How much of the end product will be Freight Rover / Dormobile and how much will be Reliance Bus Works will be a matter to conjor with.
As buses these little vehicles are very much a Marmite thing, but love 'em or loathe them, they were a significant part of British transport history.
Marianne wanted to see, so here it is.
Probably unsurprisingly, given my love of regular-dresses, I also love swimdresses. I know some fats have negative associations with them, but I think they're swell. I have two Avenue swimdresses I've rotated between for the past year or so, and have been happy with them, but when I saw this anchor-print swimdress on the Just My Size website I could not restrain myself. Anchors! How kitschy. Also, it's navy, which I love. I ordered right away, only to be suspended in backorder-limbo for several weeks. In the end, this worked out okay, since our weather has been dreadfully beach-unfriendly for the past month anyway.
But today, TODAY! Turned out to be a gorgeous beach day. So I got to put on my new suit and enjoy the sunshine for a few hours.
Also, hey, it's me without makeup. My invisible eyebrows betray my natural-blonde-ness.
"...Thunderbird 1 you are clear for launch, change to departure."
Sorry, no lens or camera combo could have made this any better. It's typically not even this clear. The Thunderbirds are about 2 to 3 miles away, and the city behind is probably about 8 miles further.
Contrast was adjusted to increase clarity.

At the request of the developer of Chester City Centre Cheshire County Council leased 4 Optare Solos from Mistral in 2007 for operation on a City Centre shuttle under contract to First. Also at the request of the developer these were painted Black by Optare.
Due the the recession the redevelopment didn't, and still hasn't happened and the service never started.
The four Solos MX57CCZ, MX57CDE, MX57CDF and MX57CDK were all stored at the City Council depot in Bumpers Lane until local miscreants started to show an interest, they were then moved to the County Council depot at Milton Green where they are seen on 30 May 2008 after approximately 8 months storage
Thought this would be a good image to end on (please excuse me while I tuck away my dangling preposition). This is my last day here at the NLI, and I want to thank all of you for the research, investigation, argument, theorising, geo-locating... You have immensely improved what we knew or thought we knew about photographs in our care, and hence improved our national photographic collection.
On a personal note, I want to thank all of you Flickroonies for surprising and amazing and making me laugh every day over the last couple of years.
I wish you all the very best!

Feel free to make more requests ^_^
If you're looking at this picture, add me as a contact.
Requested by my friend Jan. The way I see it, I can have him humiliate any character I feel like, and make up for it by mortally wounding him.
Trains will only stop at Clunderwen's rural railway station on request. People still forget that sometimes and expect the driver to stop the train for them... some drivers do, some don't. I know!!
Requested by UpsidownTreeProductions2. I'm slowly trying to get caught up with decal requests.

Recently was asked for samples of Balloon Fiesta- Early years, well on occasion I do my own searching, this time more involved because it goes back to 2004 - then using the Kodak DC- 4800 a 3.1 MP camera of its day ! what is so enjoyable is that how many years ( 15 ) it's not a large footprint, but of course the Smile is still ever present ! Enjoy !!
On request of a good friend, a little photoshoot with this DAF XF.
As it is 17 years of age, and has done a modest 2 Million kilometers, it's due to go on export, as both this company and the Netherlands deem it too old for duty... Still, sentimental value... as this was her first personal company car, and thus naturally, a proper memory of it had to be captured =)

I don't know the names of all of the estate's roses. Some, like the unnamed floribunda that fronts the cottage have been here for a long while. It flowers recurrently and abundantly — it may be a variety brought in from America post-WWII. Whoever put it there knew what they were doing.
There's the little seedling one of uncertain parentage I cheekily call Belinda's Rose from time to time, after the scullery maid. I think that's her name. She's never about when I am, and I have my suspicions she and the rose have a lot in common.
The witch's roses are an anonymous delight, so I keep them. She left them behind when she flew off, never telling me their name, and never returning.
Cook will venture out to the garden every now and then to consult with the gardener about this and that: what's good now, what's coming on, and so on. This day, as she walked by she mentioned that there were some lovely little buds on the climber by the gate. But you'd need a ladder to get to them.
From my time on the boards of the shearing shed I learnt to never upset the Cook. She's done her time in the kitchen at the shearers' quarters, and if you can believe her, as a classer in the shed. I know better than to be dismissive. What she really meant was if you want your dinner on time, you'd better get me those roses.
They're the little red buds arranged here on Cook's bench with Jude the Obscure. These Autumn buds aren't as big as some of Summer's beauties. But they do alright. Each of those roses is magnificently scented — like roses of old — yet they don't fight; the sum better than the parts.
I commented about her arrangement and she said she was sorry that the Stuart Crystal vase was already taken up with more of Jude's magnificence. After all that, I can't remember what was for dinner on that night!

Some background
The Fiat G.91 was an Italian jet fighter aircraft, the winner of the NATO competition in 1953 as standard equipment for Allied air forces. European manufacturers were invited to submit their designs for this requested Light Weight Strike Fighter (LWSF) role. The G.91 was designed to this specification by the Italian engineer Giuseppe Gabrielli, hence the "G" designation. The competition was intended to produce an aircraft that was light, small, expendable, equipped with basic weapons and avionics and capable of operating with minimal ground support. These specifications were developed for two reasons: the first was the nuclear threat to large air bases, many cheaper aircraft could be better dispersed, and the other was to counter the trend towards larger and more expensive aircraft.
The technical requirements were:
• 1,100 m (3,610 ft) takeoff distance over a 15 m (49 ft) obstacle
• Capability to operate from grass strips and streets
• Maximum speed of Mach 0.95
• Range of 280 km (170 mi) with 10 minutes over the target
• Armoured protection for the pilot and the fuel tanks
• 4 × 12.7 mm (.5 in) or 2 × 20 mm or 30 mm guns
• A maximum of 2,200 kg (4,850 lb) empty weight and 4,700 kg (10,360 lb) max weight
The challenge of providing an engine that matched the requirements of lightness and power, reliability and ease of maintenance was solved by using the Bristol Siddeley Orpheus turbojet.
After the loss of the G.91 prototype, the French government preferred to pursue development of the locally-designed Étendard. The British government similarly ignored the competition to concentrate on Hawker Hunter production for the same role. The type was also considered by Austria, Norway, Switzerland, and even the United States Army, which briefly evaluated the type as a possible Forward Air Control (FAC) aircraft before relinquishing all fixed-wing aircraft operations to the USAF.
The G.91 entered operational service with the Italian Air Force in 1961, with West Germany's Luftwaffe in 1962, and later with the Portuguese Air Force (German surplus machines). The first G.91s entered service with the Royal Norwegian Air Force in August 1967. The original R/5 variant for Norway with increased range had been cancelled, but the RNoAF took over fourty-two G.91 R/4 aircraft from a cancelled Greek/Turkish order. These planes were originally armed with four 12.7 mm (0.5 in) Colt-Browning machine guns and powered by the Rolls-Royce Orpheus turbojet engine. Their main role was close air support, tactical sea combat and reconnaissance. One special Norwegian feature was the retrofitted brake parachute housing under the base of the fin.
In 1980, the Norwegian planes saw a major overhaul (MLU), combined with an update concerning both performance and attack capability. The Orpheus was replaced by a single Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Adour Mk. 106 turbofan (developed for the SEPECAT Jaguar), which offered not only slightly better dry thrust than the former engine but also a better fuel consumption and an afterburner for enhanced rate of climb and acceleration. As a side effect. top speed was slightly improved, as well as range and the weapon load. A similar step was taken with the G.91 Y in Italy, where the original Bristol Siddeley Orpheus engine was replaced with two General Electric afterburner J85 units - only that this "Yankee" was literally a new aircraft.
In order to achieve true all-weather capability, esp. against targets at sea, the G.91N, how the planes were called now, were fitted with a Thomson-CSF Agave radar in a new nose section, reminiscent of the F-86D/K "Sabre Dog" interceptor. The original cameras in the nose were deleted, an external camera pod was developed for reconnaissance duties.
The planes’ strike potential was also heavily augmented by the integration of the Norwegian AGM-119 "Penguin" short-to-medium range (up to 50km) naval guided missile. The AGM-119 was developed by Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace (KDA) and was the first AShM of the western world with a passive IR seeker instead of the commonly used active radar technology. Propelled by a solid rocket engine and flying at low altitude and high subsonmic speed, it performs random weaving maneuvres at target approach and hits the target close to the waterline, its 120 kg warhead detonates inside the target ship by using a delay fuze. Additionally, the original four 0.5” machine guns were replaced by a pair of DEFA 552 30 mm cannons with 125 RPG, and AIM-9 Sidewinder could be carried for self-defense.
In this new guise, the Norwegian "Ginos", as they were called by their crews, soldiered on until 1991, when they were retired and replaced by the much more capable and versatile F-16.
All in all, the G.91 remained in production for 19 years, the last planes retired in Italy in 1995. 756 aircraft were completed, including the prototypes and pre-production models. The assembly lines were finally closed in 1977. The Fiat G.91 enjoyed a long service life that extended over 35 years.

The kit and its assembly
This model came to be after finding a discussion at whatifmodelers.com, where the (tragic) fate of the Fiat G.91 was discussed. This light NATO attack fighter would have entered the air forces of virtually all European countries, but it became victim of politics and just ended up in Italy, Germany and (in late days) Portugal. Anyway, an inspiring thought is what would have been possible, e .g. in countries like Spain, Greece or Norway?
The basis is a G.91 P.A.N. from the Frecce Tricolori 50th anniversary kit, made by Italeri. It is, in fact, the Revell kit, nicely detailed and only with few trouble zones (e .g. the fuselage halves needed putty to fit, as well as the panels with the alternative guns). The kit was mostly built right out of the box. Only changes are the new radar nose - the front part of a P-61 drop tank - some antennae on the fin which sports a radar warning system. Additionally, a new and longer jet exhaust nozzle was fitted, simulating the new afterburner engine.
Landing flaps were partly opened from neutral position, the air brakes under the belly fixed into an open position (the latter is a standard kit feature, though). Further mods include a brake parachute container under the tail fin and the armament: The DEFA guns come as alternative side panels with the kit, and the guns themselves were simulated with steel tubes (syringes). The Penguin missiles as well as the ALQ-131 ECM pod come from Hasegawa weapon sets. The fourth free weapon station was filled with a Bofors BOZ-107 chaff/flare dispenser, lent from a Tornado.
Painting
The true whif comes with livery and markings, and IMHO the more subtle the look, the more convincing the result. Hence I chose a very simple livery for my G.91N: an overall finish in FS36270 (US Medium Grey, Humbrol 126), the same as RNoAF F-16 aircraft. Only contrast marks are the black nose, the colourful roundels and some red warning markings all over the plane.
The national markings come from an aftermarket sheet from TL Decals. Stencilling is taken from an old Matchbox G.91Y and the scrap box. Numbers etc. were improvised, too, based on pictures from other Norwegian planes (airliners.net is a great source for reference here).
I did some light washing with black ink to emphasize panel lines and engravings, and also did some weathering with dry-brushed lighter shades of grey (mainly Humbrol 140, very subtle), giving the uniform grey a faded/bleached look on the upper sides and leading edges. Finally, the kit received a coat of matte varnish (Dupli Color Acryllic, form the rattle can), the radome was painted with Humbrol's semi-matte varnish.
The result: a simple but effective whif, which also shows what could have become of the original G.91 design over time and technical development, if it had not become victim to political decisions and national vanities.
Last December I was requested to design an origami papillon, to be produced and sold as a limited edition collection. In the end we did not find an agreement, as often people don't want to understand that if they want to use some design for making a business, they ought to pay the designer for it. They would like to have slaves folding everything on their request...
Nevermind. In any case, I had a prototype in mind, and later I developed it, even without any reason for doing it. Often, when I feed my mind with some idea on designing, it keeps thinking on it while I'm doing other stuff, sleeping, etc, and sometimes I find some solutions ready to be folded, without spending time actively thinking on them.
All 3 designs are wereable, they have a "hole" on the back for passing a string through (without cuts, using some sort of lock).
Each of them is folded from a 15cm square of Tant paper, and turns out in a wereable size, too. Or at least I soppose; I don't know if I would ever wear one in life, but if I will, I would like one of these..
Actually I prefer the simpler designs, as the pleated one misses the soft round "knot".
Therefore, if you would like to use this design for business, don't hesitate to contact me...
Very curious to see a camera in the village, this small kid on the street wanted to be photographed as I walked passed him. With a smile like that, who would deny his request!
