Lancaster Bomber 'Just Jane ' conducting night time engine runs at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, East Kirkby Airfield.
The museum was established by two brothers as a memorial and tribute to Bomber Command crews and their eldest brother who lost his life on a bombing raid during WWII.
It's worth noting that less than 1 in 4 crews completed their first tour of 30 missions. The aircraft themselves would only achieve, on average about 40 hours flying before being destroyed by operational accidents or enemy action. In 1945 it took approximately 20,000 man hours to manufacture!!
In usual Class 47 style, LSL's 47805/D1935 'Roger Hosking MA' accelerates from Stenson Junction working 1Z84 the 06:00 Colchester to Carlisle, an LSL Steam Dreams charter. The locomotive would give way to steam power at Crewe.
Although it's only a short run to North Staffs Jn for the route to Crewe via Stoke on Trent, 47805 was very much at full chat - me thinks the driver was playing to his audience!

When I've spent the whole day on the road, far from home, I'm often drawn to some weary familiarity on the way. Hartville Bridge has been a familiar haunt in recent years, a span that's stood since the 1850s, when this stretch of railroad was completed. It last saw a train in 2011, when the Hantsport gypsum plant was mothballed. Just a couple turns off the highway and a short walk to get here, staring down to St. Croix River far below. It's a good place to feel the rush of crowds and city traffic wash out of sight. I was returning from a day and night in Halifax, giving a couple talks to an unexpected audience. Late last year, I got a message from Seth Sanders, the professor of religious studies up at Dalhousie University. He told me that "The Dead Die Twice", my book of abandoned cemeteries, was required reading for the winter semester of his "Death and the Afterlife" class – and he wanted me to appear in person.
So there I was, talking to a room full of younger faces, when I'm usually looking out at folks far older than me. Something so deeply fascinating to the experience – bringing death to life for folks just starting living. Seth seems to be a fine teacher, and a heartwaking kind of human. When I was young, I was a terminally distracted student, could never hack the focus required. But all these years of work and wandering have somehow shaped me into someone with something to share. I chased nightfall into Windsor at the Spitfire Arms, a regular stop. When I went to leave, a lovely man who recognized me had already paid for my meal. These human connections bring an introverted heart to life in such a particular sense. Makes the joys in isolation so evenly balanced. A genuine love of aloneness finds us all so much better at being together.

The shopping district was heavily hit in the earthquake of 2011, so the city has now a temporary shopping mall made of shipping containers called the Re:start Mall. It's a great place to wander around, and was certainly busy the afternoon we visited. Plenty of shops, food outlets and artwork on display.
I know we all have the things we struggle with. But mine drives me frigging batty.
I have a hard time starting. You have no idea how long I can stare at a blank screen. Or say, I'll just check Flickr really quick (infamous self lie).
I have GOT to get this done.
This Southern Pacific manifest is just starting up the grade through the Tehachapi Mountains in southern California. SD45T-2 "Tunnel Motor" 9232 is the first of 10 total units on this train. Four up front, four more 1/3 back, and they have just added 2 more 2/3 of the way back on this heavy freight. All ten are EMD, the majority are tunnel motors. I would see him again on the famed Loop later. (see my SP album).
yep. that's me. starting over again! i finished my baby blanket and when i cast off it ended up looking more like a shaull than a baby blanket! lol i somehow ended up with about 3 times as many stitches on the kneedle!! don't ask me how i managed that. lol

How we realize on our bike ride today that the GPS had taken us down a dead end gravel road.
