On another post I mentioned I was at the Chateau Impney today and I saw a Trident go by. Well, that was rather dull in comparison to this wonderful thing, flying rather low. Not my best photo ever, but after a couple of quick clicks I purposefully put down the camera so I could just watch and enjoy ...

Rescuing it might be interesting if it needs a suspended tow, it might make it too tall for the bridge. I would hope they realise it need to turn round first, or they could do a normal tow until they clear the bridge. Not many options to turn as both the A44 tyre shop and entrance to Brook Works ar...

As to the future of Padmore Street, it has been subject to rumours of closure for more years than seems possible now (I was a young man when they first came to light and am a white haired 74 year old geezer now!), perhaps these can still be taken with a pinch of salt - hopefully.

They pulled the limi...

You will be pleased to know that on my visit to Hay on Wye a few weeks ago I saw 506 was still being used in service, so there is still at least one survivor.

I saw a white StreetLite heading South on the M5 near Worcester the other day. I guess that was it.
