Successful respooling (I think) of 120 film onto a 620 roll has resulted in this camera coming into service.
This newly formed Senior Wrestling League competition was between City of Manchester Wrestling Club and Bolton Olympic Wrestling Club.
It was held at the Wrestling Academy on Saturday 17th December 2022
Bolton gained the win!
City of Manchester - 13 Bolton - 32
This is part of the two pilot leagues which were launching in September 22.
This could be a huge step for the development of wrestling in this country. If successful with our pilot season this could lead to the launch of a nationwide league launching in every region of the UK by the end of 2023.
The clubs competing in the inaugural Northern Seniors Wrestling League are:-

As the first year at Moore Elementary School is wrapping up, we stopped by to capture some of the fun. Whether it was students reading in the classrooms, hanging on the new playground, or having their faces painted after school, we saw just a few reasons why everyone is so excited about Moore Elementary School.
Newly renovated in 2015, Moore Elementary School serves the families of Beaverdale, Merle Hay and the neighborhoods of northwest Des Moines. The $6.6 million renovation includes a new gymnasium, playground, state-of-the-art classrooms, technology and security.
Mr. Leon S. Waskin, USAID’s Regional Director for Sindh, congratulated dairy farmers of Sindh and South Punjab on completion of Entrepreneurs Project
Simply getting airborne at the start of the 20th century was an achievement, but getting back down to earth without ending up in a pile of broken wood and linen was an even greater one. Plenty of intrepid aviators met their end in homemade machines that managed one take off and no successful landings. Spectators in their thousands would turn up at the early airfields to watch young aviation pioneers pushing the limits of their flying machines.
Then came the Great War and with it galloping strides in aircraft development and flying skills. By the end of the war aircraft could fly higher and faster, were more reliable and their pilots more skilled. When the war was over there were hundreds of aeroplanes lying around that were no longer needed and that could be snapped up for peanuts by young daredevils who had caught the flying bug and weren’t very keen on spending the rest of their days working in an office. And so the flying circus was invented.
Airshows were staged at which members of the public could take joyrides for a few shillings or dollars. There were displays of terrifying loops and rolls and tricks like flying upside down. Naturally, the more outrageous and dangerous the stunt, the more the crowd enjoyed it, so if a young pilot wanted to make a living out of flying he had to come up with something a bit different Something that pushed the edges of the envelope a little further out.
In 1918 an American flier called Ormer Locklear came up with a stunt that was guaranteed to wow the crowds: he would climb out of the aeroplane and walk along the wing and even climb from one aeroplane onto to another. Apparently Locklear first clambered out of the cockpit to fix a technical problem while training during the war. A normal person would have landed and then sorted out the problem. Pretty soon you couldn’t operate a flying circus that didn’t have a wing walking act and Locklear was soon joined by numerous other daredevils including the wonderfully named Ethal Dare, the world’s first female wing walk who like Locklear would walk from plane to plane.
Not surprisingly there were a few mishaps. Ormer himself came a cropper while working on a film. These wing walk pioneers were operating without a safety net: no parachutes, no safety wires tethering them to the aircraft. A slip of the foot and it was the high dive for our brave showman or showgirl. In 1938 the authorities in America decided that parachutes had to be worn though by that time war was on its way and the show was about to close anyway.
Flying changed after the war. There were new goals like breaking the sound barrier, space exploration and the development of quiet, fast and comfortable airliners so that we could all go on foreign holidays relatively cheaply. In other words we’d got used to flying and some of the magic had gone out of it. There were still airshows with amazing displays of flying skills and some truly incredible modern jet fighter aircraft shattering greenhouse windows on high-speed fly pasts. But a little bit of the between-the-wars glamour had gone out of it.
But those barnstorming days of the ’20s and 30s and the characters who manned the flying circuses hadn’t been forgotten by those with a deep love of flying and a passion for its history. A few wing walking teams operated in America in the 1970s but it wasn’t until frustrated barnstormer Vic Norman founded his famous Aerosuperbatics wing walking team in the early 1980s that the sight of dare devils handstanding and flying upside down on the wing was seen in Europe.
Yes, the wing walkers are safely tethered to their Boeing Stearman biplanes, but the glamour, spectacle, sounds and atmosphere is just the same as it was when young and brave Ormer Locklear went for a dramatic 10ft stroll along the wing of his warplane in 1918.

Ecovolis program has proven successful in dramatically increasing bicycle use in Tirana, which, formerly, was a city without a developed bicycle culture. Ecovolis program is the first project in Albania that provides low-income adults with commuter bicycles as well as a donating program for children bicycles. The program recently completed two major steps, opening new bike stations in the city of Durrës and integrating Tourist Information Point Service to the bicycles stations' structure.
History
The Tirana Community Bicycle Albania project won financial support from the George Soros Open Society Foundation Albania (OSFA). An even larger contribution came from the US-based Pedal for Progress organization, which donated 450 bicycles. Sixty of these were used road bikes, which were modified and painted by local technicians to serve as public bikes in the Ecovolis scheme. Another portion was set aside to donate to children and to activists and volunteers at PASS. Still another portion were diverted to the project's Eco Bicycle Shop, a social enterprise which sells bikes for USD 50-150 and reinvests profits for the service and maintenance of Ecovolis bicycles. The main objective of the program was to introduce the community to an inexpensive, environmental friendly form of transport -- the bicycle; to sell used bikes at low prices; to donate bikes to the children of needy families and to PASS volunteers; to establish a bike sharing-scheme in the city (Ecovolis); and to employ financially disadvantaged people and young students to operate the bike-sharing scheme.
System
Each Ecovolis station is staffed by two employees in two shifts and contains 30 -- 60 bicycles. In order to use the bicycles it is required to provide a personal identification document (such as passport or ID card) or by subscribing to the Ecovolis membership Card.
The first black and red bicycles, (also the colors of the Albanian flag) were donated from US-organization Pedal for Progress, (which collect and donate used bicycles). As these bicycles were of different types, converting them for safe and comfortable public use took months of work. The price per bicycle varies from 60 US$ to 90 US$ each. The bicycle is equipped with a front bicycle basket, a behind carrier, a comfortable saddle and a public fender with the Ecovolis sign.
The bicycle stations also provide touristic information to the visitors and a list of the city attractions. Moreover, being a non-profit social enterprise, during particular days the program offers free bicycle service, cycling courses, donations of bicycles and helmets for children in need, bike tours and a bicycle recycle program.

This bird has successfully overwintered in the area of the Prince George airport in central BC. Note the feathering on the leg which extends all the way to the claws. It's scientific name of _Buteo lagopus_ translates into Rabbit-footed Hawk in English which is quite appropriate. Primary prey is small mammals. Aging and sexing this species is not easy but a couple of points suggest this is an adult or sub-adult female: 1) the iris colour of the eye darkens from pale brown to dark brown with age; and 2) females winter farther north than males. Since the irides on this bird are fairly dark and it is certainly wintering far north, the evidence points to it being an adult or sub-adult female. This species is "polymorphic" which means that the plumage varies widely from quite light to very dark. This bird is on the dark side of the spectrum. Taken Feb 23, 2008 near the NE corner of the Prince George airport.
Ryan Mathews and the DSE 2012 "White Monster" Camaro Earn a Trip to The Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational
Mooresville, NC -http://goo.gl/x5jWkZ For the DSE Test Car's first dip into the Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car events of 2015, it was quite a successful one. Ryan Mathews took the top spots in the GT Class with 1st place finishes in the Detroit Speed sponsored Autocross, the Speed Stop Challenge and the Hot Lap Challenge. Unfortunately, due to the transportation logistics of the new BFGoodrich Rival S, they weren't quite available for the public; so Kyle was positioned in the exhibition class. The new BFG Rival S tires had incredible turn-in grip and came up to temperature fast. If you are going to be consistently competing for the top spots of these events with the best street cars in the country, the BFGoodrich Rival S need to be the next set of tires you purchase.
This was not a big deal for Kyle, as he is more about proving himself with how he runs and not the hardware on his office shelf, put down great times and finished with a 1st place overall in the Speed Stop and 2nd place overall in the Hot Lap Challenge while finishing in 5th place overall on the Detroit Speed sponsored Autocross.
Unlike the previous week in Fort Worth, Saturday morning started early and came with beautiful temps and abundant sunshine. The Driver's meeting kicked off a day full of events with the Detroit Speed sponsored Autocross, the Speed Stop Challenge, the Road Rally and finished up with the welcome party. Cars were running hard all morning and afternoon with just a short break in the middle for lunch. Ryan driving the DSE 2012 "White Monster" Camaro put down great times early including a 0:43.907 on his first run. His 1st place clinching run came on his third of the morning, a 0:43.724 which was good enough for the win. Kyle, not to be outdone by Ryan, posted a 0:43.028 in the exhibition class in the DSE 1970 Camaro Test Car. Ryan also claimed the Speed Stop Challenge in the GT class while Kyle who finished first in the exhibition class and overall, ran one of the only three sub ten second times of the weekend.
Sunday was the Hot Lap Challenge and the two drivers were ready to get at it, especially after their great times and cooperative cars on Saturday. Kyle finished first in the exhibition class while Ryan ran the only sub forty second time on the road course with a 0:39.520 that couldn't be caught.
There were many DSE "Equipped" cars running all weekend including Ken Thwaits in his Showtime 2014 Camaro, Ken was neck in neck with Ryan, finishing right behind him in the autocross and road course and 3rd in the Speed Stop.
This was a great weekend for a great event at Texas Motor Speedway. It was a successful first event for the Detroit Speed team and we forward to getting back at it during the Optima event at Bowling Green in June.
Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car Texas Highlights:
• Ryan won the GT Class and punched his ticket for the end of year Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitation in Las Vegas
• Ryan posted the only sub 0:40 run during the Hot Lap Challenge
• Kyle, running in the exhibition class, came up with a win in the Speed Stop Challenge and Hot Lap Challenge
• Ken Thwaits and his DSE "Equipped" 2014 Camaro finished 2nd overall in the GT class with two 2nd place finishes and a 3rd place finish
• The new BFGoodrich Rival S is an amazing tire and exceeded expectations
Upon successfully completing his record-setting flight from England to Australia on October 14, 1933, The Courier Mail wrote of Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith:
Cheering thousands of men, women, and children, and blaring motor horns greeted Air Commodore Sir Charles Kingsford Smith when he arrived at Archerfield Aerodrome at 4.45 p.m. yesterday.
In this joyous greeting the citizens of Brisbane paid homage to a distinguished native of the city, who has been acclaimed the world's greatest airman. Sir Charles Kingsford Smith had flown from England to Wyndham, in North Australia, in 7 days 4 hours 43 minutes, or 1 day 16 hours 1 minute faster flying time than that achieved by Mr C W A Scott
He left Wyndham at 8.7 a.m. on Thursday, and after battling against headwinds all day landed at Camooweal on Thursday night. He left Camooweal at 5.45 a.m. yesterday, passed Longreach at 11 a.m., and arrived in Brisbane at 4.45 p.m., after another battle against Headwinds
Progress reports of the flight from Camooweal across the western plains of the State indicated that the aviator should arrive soon after 4.30 p.m., and a number of Queensland Aero Club aeroplanes flew out towards Toowoomba to meet him
Like a Flashing Bird.
A brief period of suspense followed. Then the blue and silver monoplane, Miss Southern Cross with the setting sun gilding its graceful lines against a background of dull grey clouds,
flashed out of the west like a swallow on the wing.
After circling the aerodrome the veteran aviator made a perfect landing, and taxied across the
grounds to the accompaniment of deafening cheers.
"Do you want a corkscrew, Smithy?" called a friend in the crowd as the aviator experienced difficulty in getting out of the closed cockpit. "No, a match!" was the characteristic reply, as the lean, hatless head emerged with a cigarette thrust between flashing teeth. It was a typical
"Smithy" incident. Here was the man whom neither honours nor trials could change. Here, indeed, was a man of
the people and a national hero.
Brief speeches of welcome were made from a handy lorry. The president of the Queensland Aero Club Dr F. A. Hope Michod) read messages of congratulation from his Majesty the King and from his Excellency the Governor-General (Sir Isaac Isaacs) on the success of the
great flight
The Premier (Mr. W. Forgan Smith), on behalf of the State Government, congratulated the aviator. The achievement he said added lustre to an already great fame. They were justly proud of Sir Charles Kingsford Smith as a Queenslander and
an Australian
"You have made a habit of astonishing the world said the Lord Mayor (Alderman J W Greene), addressing the aviator, and now you have done it again
The Queensland manager of the Vacuum Oil Company (Mr N. F Langdon) said " Whatever "Smithy" undertakes to do he does well. We appreciate his courage and ability.”
The Premier called for cheers "for the world’s greatest aviator " "And one for his baby!" cried a man in the crowd. So the aviator and the baby shared the cheers.
"Life in the Old Dog."
Sir Charles Kingsford Smith said he was glad to have broken the record by way of indicating "there was life in the old dog yet."
It was a source of pleasure, too, that the record time had been established once more by an
Australian.
"It is not easy," he added, amidst much laughter, "for a grey-headed man in his declining years to do such things. This is the city of my birth, and I am proud of it, but I cannot stay, as I have a family waiting further south."
