With the technology as advanced as it is; ‘radio control’ has pretty much taken over, although small pockets of die hard ‘control line’ enthusiasts still exist. It now covers the whole gambit from large scale down to the small variety, fixed wing & rotary. Skill levels vary as much as the variety available, from ‘home built’ to ‘almost ready to fly [ARTF]’. It should be noted that ‘ARTF’ is a pre built kit which means just that; it's almost ready to fly; you just need to buy the engine & servos. There is no restriction to what you can fly, with home builds of the owners own ideas, to faithfully produced replicas of the real thing; yes; even flying lawnmowers. Jets are also on the circuit in numbers that zip around at great speed. It’s a hobby that is so vast now that knows no boundaries for old & young alike, inexperienced or experienced, male or female. All are in it for a reason, & I bet fun is right up there. There is a new breed growing, & what they do with a model now really defies the laws of flight; they call it 3-D aerobatics that has fixed wing & rotary. The hobby does not stand still, with new ideas being tried like wingless & balloons! This is a fun hobby for all to get involved, but be prepared, it can be infectious, & it can cost a lot of money. Its safe to say that you can be airborne for under £100 but can run in to thousands. This only covers aircraft, but anything can be ‘radio controlled’; ships, tanks, cars, trains, ‘daleks’; yup, anything. Xander October 2009 I found it a lot easier to have my son do an overview of R/C as this is his hobby, & who better than he. I have been to 3 large scale R/C meetings with Alex, & all 3 are covered here. Of the many pix I had to choose from, it was how good they looked to me, & why I chose that particular shot. I will apologise now for showing several remarkable real looking aircraft, this is because I am an aviation enthusiast, & hard to view these any other way. Others are general shots of the shows to give an idea on what was on show to see. I was very impressed in the skills & in many cases authenticity of many models depicted, & being a model maker, I can only admire the work that all put in… Caz, October 2009 Tuesday 3 November 2009: LARGE SCALE RADIO CONTROLLED MODELS Radio controlled modelling, a hobby/sport which has been around for many years, started as _free flight_ & _gliders_, then proceeding forward to _petrol_ & _diesel_ fuel for control line models.

]]> Tue Nov 3 2009 20 - FIELD AVIATION RE-VISITED http://cazsphotos.photoblog.co.uk/c1773590.html FIELD AVIATION RE-VISITED I enjoyed working at Field East, & most that I worked with. Many names will always be remembered, & I felt another album was needed to cover more pix that I have as a momento of my 10 years. The annual Christmas dinner was always a lavish affair, & was always enjoyable; & pix are in the album to see, although some names do escape me now. I hope you will contact me if you know a missing name, or recognize yourself. This album is really more about the guys I worked with, as much of the work is covered in the first album. My first visit back to Canada was May 2009; 8 years after I returned home. Although it was mainly to visit our boys & their families, so not a lot of spare time was available, but I was determined that I would visit the guys at Fields. I knew several were still there as I have email contact with them, in fact lots are, & how wonderful it was to see them. By the time I started go round to see all, it was lunch time, & many dissappeared, or was that because they knew I was there; yeah thats it :) Those I saw were captured on camera. Only Coops secretary ran away & hid in a cupboard, but my skills were able to get her to open the door. I was disappointed that I never saw my friend Coop, but then I knew he was on vacation, & I was visiting earlier than planned. None the less, I really enjoyed visiting them. The other main subject that is covered, was the admin BBQ that was held round at Cheryl's home. It was a great time, as the pix will show. Enjoy, & do please contact me should you know any names I am missing, also check your names, as I am sure some are miss spelt.

I would surely like to know, & welcome hearing from you. I worked at Lakers from 1972 to when I emigrated to Canada in 1977. I look back on those years with many fond memories, as I worked with some great people, & believe it or not, had some fun along the way. I am still in contact with a few through work, & pleasure. In fact today, Lorrie & I had a great meal at the 8 Bells in Bolney with Dave York. I talk to Chris Crees on occasions through business, & purhasing manager Brian Wheelhouse I often see in town. I have spoken to Dave Newman, but not since GB Airways was sold. I have also spoken to Noel Cummins after I returned to the UK in 2001, but he seems to have disappeared! Greg Dix from ops I have chatted to via email many times in the past year or more, but as for the others; nothing :( If you're out there, & read this, do please get in touch. Due to me always carrying a camera to work [hobby of photographing aircraft] I was often tasked in taking various pix; just wish I had held more back for myself, & future memories, but of course we never thought we would have a need back then... I think I spent a lot of time with flight crew & got to know many well, where the pix were used for training [Cliff Byway] & publicity [Robin Flood], but always making sure I cleared it with Brian Wheelhouse first. Several flights were undertaken for inflight services for training; & those few I had extras of, were kept, & are shown in this album. Enjoy!

We were both in to photography, worked for the same camera store, and figured this would be a good opportunity to try our hand at photographing some action shots. We left the girls to wander around, then set off to seek and find the best spot for our intended shots. Near the entrance to the course, we noticed some official looking people, and decided to ask if they could advise us where the best place would be. I let Colin do all the talking since he was good at it. The next thing we knew, we were being ushered in to the course… We both looked at each other not saying a word. We were advised best to stand by the jumps, and to only move around when a competitor has finished the course; thus avoiding distracting rider and horse. Well; this is far better than we could ever expect. I guess we were accepted as photographers sent by an agency on assignment; so here is my reward… You will notice that many riders are marked as unknown which is due to the old grey cells being unable to recall names after nearly 40 years. I was able to get help on several via Hickstead; thank you Lizzie.

I really enjoy just taking photographs of anything, & if it looks like a good photograph to take, then I will just take it. Not all photograhs turn out how I would like, but those that do, I really enjoy looking at, & hope you will also. While I am not too familiar with Elements, Caz is, so I used his knowledge to do what I needed to see the photograph I had in mind. The cameras used are Fuji Finepix for every photograph prior to 2008, & a Nikon D50 from 2008 on. Apart from the standard lens, I also use the Nikon 70~300 zoom.

For those of you interested in the cameras I used for these pix, they are the Fuji Finepix for all 2006 & 2007 photographs, with all the 2008 ones taken on my Nikon D50, with a Nikon 70-300 zoom.

]]> Wed May 6 2009 15 - FIELD AVIATION http://cazsphotos.photoblog.co.uk/c1689476.html FIELD AVIAITON I started work at Field Aviation in early 1991. I was approached by Richard McMechan going in to work [working part time at Air Ontario] one morning & he asked if i was interested in a buyer’s job at Fields; naturally I accepted. I knew Richard from my Wardair days, & it was great to get full time work again. I eventually worked a very enjoyable 10 years until the decision was made to go home. While at Fields I met, and worked with some great people, I am still in contact with a few today. Field East as we called it, worked on many interesting projects during my tenure, and I have put together this smattering of pix in a way of a tribute to all that I worked with. While I took pix of many projects and fellow employees, many of these were passed along. For those interested in the many aircraft that graced Field Aviation's ramp, please check out my aviation site at http://www.airpixbycaz.co.uk/cazsite/aviation/avgen/fieldav/index.html I will no doubt compile a part 2 to this, as I have come across negatives that I thought I had passed on. There is still one image that has 3 colleagues un-identified, so if you can help; please email me. So as they say; watch this space, & enjoy. Special thanks to Chris Cooper-Slipper; Vic Czaplinsky & Carol Young for identification of faces for me.

Farnborough 2 years later & Coop has the same tie on! Coop with Joar Gronlund - Farnborough 2008 With Richard McMechan at Farnborough 2008. I also worked with Richard at Wardair C-FWWU is removed by Doug to reveal Australian registration beneath VH-ZZA. April 1996 C-FWWU at the hand over ceremony. All staff were trated to a buffet in the hangar, & presented with commorative sweat shirts, then a walk through to view the Coastwatch layout. April 1996 The Avitat ramp in September 1992 C-FWWU arrives from DHC for conversion in to a DHC-8MPA for the Australian Coastwatch program that was to be operated by National Jet Systems in November 1995. Hangar 3's entrance was low for dash 7's & 8's, so they were tilted to get inside. You can see that a mod has been made to the lifting tow bar, to prevent an occurance of what happened to the BAS dash 7. November 1992 Coastwatch 2 C-FXBC[VH-ZZB] is seen outside hangar 2. April 1996 N20NY of MIT is a much modified Falcon 20. The nose is interchangeable, & can be easily switched with that of the G2 in the next frame. Taken outside hangar 3 on 12 October 1994 Halloween 1995. L-R are Maria Frietas, Sue Droy, Mary Cushing, Jen 'Pooh' Waters, Penny & Tonto ;-) Hand over. L-R John Kazuba; Joar Gronlund; Adel Lloyd [National Jet]; Tom Appleton [BRAD]; Warrren Seymour [National Jet]; David Lloyd [National Jet] & Chris Beeton [BRAD], April 1996 N82696 is made ready for its 1st test flight in May 1991. The black cotton is used to check airflow, while the cone is trailed behind in flight. The sensors within the cone give a more accurate reading of the airspeed during the test flight. The first Summet dash 7 converted taxiis out for its first test flight in June 1992. Visible from the open part of the door, the cable for the cone can be seen going up to the pylon on top of the horizontal stabilizer. Once in flight the cone is released in to the slipstream for reading the airspeed. The second Summet dash 7 N5382W with a close up of the 'flare dispenser' in 1993 VP-FBQ at rest. You can see in this image just how close those beams were saving structural damage. The only damage to the horizontal stab was a mark from the hanging light, seen above. VP-FBQ ooops. The normal tilting to get inside hangar 3 was in process, but the angle of the tug was a little out, & the tilting tow bar flipped, putting a hole in the forward fuselage. FBQ's tail rose very fast, narrowly missing two beams in the hangar roof. With the MarkAir titles removed, OKF is masked for the TABA titles to be applied - October 1992 Brrought back from Guam, this CASA 212 was to have a new life in survey work, but sadly once a full inspection took place, the corosion was far to severe to proceed with. It is seen here being collected for who knows what… Winter of 1992-1993 - 96 lima was last noted derilict in Alaska 2002 Moving the APU on an Air Nostrum dash 8 prior to delivery in January 2001 N82696 test fit of the components soon after Great China dash 8 arrived from DHC with test reg C-FDHD, & had just had the tape removed to reveal its new identity B15215, when orders came from DHC to revert back to C-FDHD. To further confuse everyone, it departed as N107AV. Seen here in June 92 about to spray over the B reg MIT G2 showing its much modified nose in October 1995 N82696 mods start on the added systems bay in November 1990 This Continental Express Embraer Brasilia received damaged from an out of control baggage cart, & was sent to Field for skin replacement in January 2001 Canadian Armed Forces training at Portage le Pararie passed to be civilian run by Canadair & Bombardier, with Field Aviation handling all maintenance on base. Here one of the King Air's was making a stop over in October 1995 The second Summet dash 7 N5382W is seen in this 1993 image with mission equipment not normally seen on the ground.

L-R front row; Alberto Viola; Caz. 1998 Composite repair on the leading edge from a Canadian Forces CP-140 in 1999 Out of no where a swarm of bees made a stop over on the fence between hangar 2 & 3 in June 1992. The brave sole getting close is Andy Voth, while 2 mechanics walking by keep their distance. You can just see the Air Georgian girls behind the safety of the office door. The bees soon departed. My friend Vic Czaplinski who takes care of avionics shipping & receiving taken just before I left Canada My sexy sis Karen Brodie with Marie Whittingham; both assisted me in purchasing. January 2001 Kathy with Lana from the ex Avitat centre in June 1994. Kathy had a wonderful personality around the office, & often had us all in fits of laughter. Such as shouting out The Avitat was sold to Exec-U-Jet & destined to become a Shell Aerocentre. Here the old Esso Avitat sign is being taken down in November 1993 With the Avitat being sold, Field Aviation was no longer an FBO, but was now well known for its specialist business of repair, modification & conversion work. November 1993 Karen from the ex Avitat centre goes on maternity leave in June 1994 Coastwatch 1. Joar Gronlund gives a speech prior to hand over to National Jet. April 1996 Rob Anderson is seen inside the wing fuel tank of FBQ. After replacing some stiffeners, all joins & fasteners are then treated with a special PRC sealant, to ensure the tanks do not leak. N105TB also from MIT, was originally registered as N200CC on its first visit. Like the Falcon [see previous frame], it had been modified to permit the switching between various nose cones. VP-FBQ looking splendid in the sun as it awaits delivery to the British Antartic Survey group. Further detais can be seen at http://www.airpixbycaz.co.uk/cazsite/aviation/avgen/fieldav/fa15.html where a more detailed account can be read. I met up with Chris Cooper-Slipper, Joe Farrell, & David Jensen at Farnborough 2006 Halloween 1993. Some names escape me now, but hopefully someone will recognize & email me. Coming down the stairs; Geek showing his knees; Sue Droy, Her Royal Heiness Carol with an instant bun in the oven. Shauna checking if the bun is cooked. Coops secretary Jane peeking through; Mary Cushing right from the jungle, builder Michelle George, & Cindy. Testing the recently installed HUD display on one of the many Horizon dash 8's.

]]> Tue Apr 28 2009 14 - 1970's FORMULA 1 RACES http://cazsphotos.photoblog.co.uk/c1604133.html 1970’S FORMULA 1 RACES This paragraph is the same as on 1970’S TOURING CAR AND FORMULA 2 RACES as it really must start the same way, and for the same reasons. I have long had a fascination for motor racing, but the early 70’s was probably the best from my point of view. It was not unusual for me to pick up the weekly ‘Autosport’ along with my normal ‘Aircraft Illustrated’, where I would check on my favorites for race results, and standings. Formula 1 was really the one for me, but surprisingly, I only went to two races, both of which are covered in this gallery. I found meeting and chatting to the drivers of the day was just out of this world. I do not believe you can get as close to the drivers today as you could back then. All appeared to have time to chat, or time for an autograph, there was just such a good feeling as you walked around the pits taking pix and looking with no harassment from race officials. As can be seen in one of my pix, the rivalry was on the track, not off it as can be seen from two great drivers like Peter Gethin and Mike Hailwood enjoying a laugh together; a great atmosphere. There were the loners, but they were always happy for photographs to be taken. Britain had a lot of talented drivers back then, and something all race fans were proud of; come on Hamilton, bring it back to us. Well done Lewis! You made us all so proud with your win at Interlagos. The last race of 2008. May there be many more. Fantastic! Lewis Hamilton - World Champion 2008! Lorrie and I were at the race when the great, Jo Siffert crashed on the 14th lap at Hawthorns in the October of 1971. I am happy and sad, that I got a photograph of Siffert on his last lap. We could see black smoke rising in the distance, and no one knew what had happened. There was an eerie silence over Brands as the speakers all fell silent. You knew something bad had happened, but you did not know what. No cars came round for what appeared to be the longest time. All the spectators appeared to be checking off the program as cars started appearing one by one. It was soon known, as one car never came round. A very sad end to what was to be a great victory race. My Formula 1 hero was the ‘super Swede’, Ronnie Peterson. Lorrie and I followed his career in the papers and ‘Autosport’ right up to that fateful day on the Monza circuit in 1978. After this, Lorrie and I lost our interest for Formula 1; for we now had just started a new life in Canada. Enjoy the pix, and I hope it brings back some great memories for you also… Caz, November 2008 Saturday 1 November 2008: 1970_S FORMULA 1 RACES This paragraph is the same as on 1970_S TOURING CAR AND FORMULA 2 RACES as it really must start the same way, and for the same reasons.

I was fascinated by the many varieties, along with the coloring of birds that sat on the fence. Most birds that did visit the feeder were sparrows, but occasionally others would appear. The American Robin was the first to catch my eye, as it was totally different to our own Robin, although seen the same times of year.

The present received from my work colleagues, can be seen through these images; that of a flight in a Tiger Moth. The flight out of Shoreham took place at 4pm on a Saturday afternoon on October 11th 2008 Stuart Rawlinson gave me a brief rundown on procedure, & what part I would play in getting ‘Mike November, November’ ready for flight. When Stuart called ‘contact’ I would switch the magnetos on, & pull the stick right back. After a few attempts, the Tigers Gypsy Major sprang to life. While I was holding her from moving forward; Stuart removed the chocks. Soon after procedures, we were taxiing out to runway 07/25 for our take off; this was the grass one. Very sedately the Tiger gracefully left the ground below with a gentle climb out to follow the coast line to Brighton. I was now experiencing string & fabric in an open cockpit. I never really heard the engine or Stuart talking through the intercom, for I was now in another world. Being in the front cockpit you get the wonderful feeling of flight on your own; it was wonderful; silly, but ‘Biggles’ sprang to mind. All too soon, we were lining up for our landing. I felt the Tiger springing wonderfully on its undercarriage as we touchdown. The flight throughout was very smooth with no turbulence felt the whole time I was up. My ground crew awaited my arrival; both Lorrie & eldest son Alex took all the external pix before & after.

All 3 of our boys were in cubs, and I stayed on, long after they had finished, and only stepping down, because I was missing much of their hockey. I progressed on to become a ‘Gilwellian, and was very proud of it. Cubs has given me so many happy memories, not just the fun, or the achievements the pack did as a whole, but to see many of these kids in later years, many going out of their way to say ‘do you remember me’; I sure did. The running of the pack was not achieved by me alone, over the years, I had many moms and dads become my assistant leaders. While I ran the pack, we would never get cubs to do any challeges without doing it ourselves, & getting involved in everything. For many years we took pride in the pack wearing full uniform [leaders too], & that meant wearing the uniform shorts. In the 90's with the environmental changes, resulted in suggesting full uniform to be worn waist up only if parents agreed. How, and why did I get involved... When I wanted to enroll Alex in to cubs, I made every excuse to get out of becoming a leader. It was the ‘if you want your kid to be a cub, then you will need to become a leader’, that got me involved very quickly. They said one year, and only an hour and a half a week… I would like to meet that joker… I took over the pack the following year, and spent upward of 10 hours a week not including weekends; they were longer, but oh! boy did I ever enjoy it.

May 1984 - summer district camp - Alex is leading the closing of camp. This was Alex last year as a cub Mar 1986 - Frontier night - we had a guest; former 10th Brampton cub 'Akela' in full frontier costume Aug 1986 - salmon jumping - a trip down to Mississauga to see the amazing feit of the the salmon jumping up the Credit River to spawn Nov 1986 - Remembrance Day Parade - assembling at the Brampton Legeon hall for the parade that took us to the cenotaph. Mark appears to be checking our pack flag... Jan 1987 - cub winter day - closing at Heart Lake - cubs & leaders were on skates for this fun filled day which also included taboganning Feb 1987 - Scout Week - every year on Lord Baden-Powells birthday we took our meeting to a local shopping mall. Always giving the public a good look at all aspects, & often gaining a new member Nov 1987 - fall camp - Oxtrail scout reserve; Mark is seen enjoying one of our activities of 'crossing the creek', just before he fell in to the stream, looking back, I believe many did this on purpose May 1988 - tin can cooking - this was part of the cubs badgework, where they had to cook bacon & egg on a can. 'Kaa' is assisting some younger cubs to get it just right. Cubs worked in their 'six' to accomplish this task, 7 was eaten by a leader or assisting parent to see if edible. I remember one such egg tasting a bit gritty... Jun 1988 - 10th Bramptons year end banquet - this always closed with a campfire [an electric one in this case], which always involved un-suspecting parents Aug 1988 - visiting 5th Horsham - on a family vacation back home, Alex was attending WS88 with 5th Horsham scout troop. We made a surprise visit to their cub meeting. It was a great meeting filled with fun & laughter. A tire Rob [a beaver at this time] looked on as Mark lead the closing [UK style] Sep 1984 - apple day - Rob & Mark; local police were always willing to buy an apple Oct 1988 - Halloween Night - a fun fille night with cubs & leaders in custume Jan 1989 - Kub Kar preliminaries - this annual Brampton District event had it's finals on the ending of Scout Week. Kub Kars are made from a block of wood & comes with wheels & stickers; the rest is up to the cub, & is allowed for adult assistance for obvious reasons [tools]. Most cubs in this pic are 0th Brampton Mar 1989 - de Havilland Canada aircraft factory - This was arranged with one of the cubs dads who worked there Feb 1990 - Scout Week - I always enjoyed my tenure as 'Akela' of 10th Brampton May 1991 - regatta - our cubs enjoy a different challenge of racing their boats in a race down converted troughs. An awful lot of blowing required for this May 1991 - fire hall nite - all trips, visits & rambles were all part of the cbs badge & star work. The operations of a modern fire depot was explained by the ever willing staff Nov 1991 - Brampton Transit evening - Brit Paul Bateson was dispacher at this time & always enjoyed showing the cubs around the garage, which always closed with a ride in Brampton Transits only double decker bus. Paul is a bus enthusiast, & his site can be seen on FotoPic. I should mention an un-canny past; Paul worked in Horsham at Barclays bank in the branch Lorrie now works at... Feb 1992 - Scout Week - here is 'Kaa' teaching cubs about the birds around us Mar 1992 - Dads Niite - same as Moms nite, a great turn out of the rarely seen dads. All contests are judged by the cubs, & they are not allowed to choose their own parent. Here are seen the 3 winners of the knobly knees contest 10 Sep 1994 - Gilwell Reunion - the oldest attendee was born in 1908. Lord Baden-Powell I am sure would be pleased to know his Gilwell Reunions were still going strong 10 Sep 1994 - Gilwell Reunion - this was my first year as a Gilwellian 10 Sept 1994 - Gilwell Reunion - my assistant leader 'Rama' [Ray Crawford] where all 'Gilwellians' meet each year for a camp Jun 1995 - Moms Nite - cubs moms always enjoyed the annual event, & this could be seen in the turnout. The 3 winners of the pagent walk are crowned Oct 1985 - working for Wardair at the time, it was no problem to take the cubs down to see a jumbo up real close. The pack seen here in the upper deck; where some scouts & beavers also enjoyed the visit with leaders & parent helpers. May 1985 - we occasionally booked the local pool for 2 hours for a fun swim night at which parents & other siblings could join in the fun Nov 1987 - joint fall camp at Oxtrail with 11th Brampton - Bagheera's trail which involved many facits of scouting seen here taking compass reading to next point in the trail. Jan 1991 - Kaa's whackey Olympics - I like to refer to this as throwing the old uniform out since I was the last to switch. In reality it is showing the cubs how to do a firemans carry for the firemans carry relay race with Kaa & Baloo making Akela feel very concerned...... Oct 1988 - cub ramble that took us to the 'Forks of Credit'. Nov 1987 - joint fall camp at Oxtrail with 11th Brampton - getting ready for campfire closing on the Saturday evening.

Where ever I was, there always seemed to be something worth photographing. A varied mix that I hope you will like, from near and far.

]]> Sun Jun 11 2006 03 - MINOR HOCKEY - ICE & ROLLER http://cazsphotos.photoblog.co.uk/c987518.html HOCKEY Ah! A sport we came to love so much; and still do. Much thanks must go to our 3 boys; Alex, Mark & Rob for giving us much pleasure & excitement over the years that they played. When our boys got involved, one by one, we were soon hooked. This is a great sport for kids, and you really get to understand the game very quickly. We became very involved with their respective teams through the years right from the start. All three were in the non-contact house league level at an early age which any kid could play. All 3 made it in to rep; Alex to rep A; Rob to rep A, and Mark to rep AAA, and junior. We never pushed the boys, or got in to the politics of AAA and up. We often wonder though; what if------? Both Mark & Rob played in-line, in some cases, 3 levels at a time. Mark played junior in-line most of the time, & was fortunate to play in the coveted NARCh [North American Roller-hockey Championships] on several occasions, & taking the crown twice. I dedicate this collection to Alex, Mark & Rob; thanks for so much enjoyment Sunday 11 June 2006: HOCKEY Ah! A sport we came to love so much; and still do.

]]> Sun Jun 11 2006 10 - MY MISS SPENT YOUTH IN A ROCK BAND...updated December 2008 http://cazsphotos.photoblog.co.uk/c987126.html THE SECT - THE FALCONS - THE 4 7/8ths [rock band days] My miss spent youth; there is no better way to describe it, as my friend Mick Jones said. The swinging 60’s it sure was, just a fabulous period for a teen to be a part of. I was in three pop groups, but I think rock bands sound far better, & more appropriate in this day & age. The Sect was my starting point, and these were the learning years. The Falcons came next, and that was truly the fun year, & latterly called the New Falcons. Then came the fabulous 4 7/8th and I was so pleased to be a part of this great local band. There were big boots to fill, but I fully enjoyed my time with them; thanks Roger. You can find a lot more about two of these groups in Mike Reads book, “The South Coast Beat Scene of the 60’s”. I never stopped playing/composing from that day on; in fact there are some recent pix that I decided to put in of this ancient rocker in Canada, with my buddy Ron Kingerski Update on the Sect [girls] from band member Rod Woodhatch. Rod & I were chatting at a friends 60th recently, & has corrected the names of the girls for me. Thanks Rod. Sorry ladies, & if any of you see this site, please contact me.

]]> Sat Jun 10 2006 02 - VIEWS FROM 23 YEARS LIVING IN CANADA http://cazsphotos.photoblog.co.uk/c986994.html CANADA Living in Canada for 23 years, it is not surprising that I have a folder on Canada. I was lucky to see so much, which is attributed to starting out in Vancouver in 1977. With the next stop being Edmonton a year later, for three months. Here; I witnessed a torrential rainstorm, and this was the day our belongings arrived from Vancouver; figures. I am glad I never witnessed a winter there; it was the start of cold weather in September! I finally ended up in Ontario where I stayed until our return home in 2001. Included in here are some pix from trips south of the border. Saturday 10 June 2006: CANADA Living in Canada for 23 years, it is not surprising that I have a folder on Canada.

]]> Sat Jun 10 2006 01 - BUSES - A VARIED LOOK http://cazsphotos.photoblog.co.uk/c984345.html A VARIED LOOK These are mostly from the UK, but with a smattering from Malta, Canada, and France. Time span is from 1962 through to today, and covers a mix of the working buses, and those that are in preservation. I have elected to show only my favorite UK buses. Buses probably come second to aircraft, but it will never be ahead of them. Buses fascinated me as a kid, & to see so many ‘Southdown’, this naturally became my favorite operator. I use to go to the Southdown garage in Horsham’s Denne Road, where they would let me go & sit in the cab of Guy Utilities that were stored there in the 50’s. After Southdown, I was always drawn to the red London bus. I used to go down town to the A24 in Horsham & watch the weekend procession of seaside specials. Ah! Memories of those red buses of the 50’s… Wednesday 7 June 2006: A VARIED LOOK These are mostly from the UK, but with a smattering from Malta, Canada, and France.

Memories of those red buses of the 50_s_

The old Maltese buses are dissappearing at an alarming rate, but the new ones totally lack character. Big Bus at Victoria. Stagecoach Oxford to London service awaiting to continue its journey Beutifully restord PS1 Tiger at Amberly Chalk Pits. Victoria London Transport garage is no longer on Gillingham Street having been replaced with a block of flats New numbering 20832 Volvo in Horshams Carfax An RML seen at Victoria opposite where I once worked. This RT sat at the Bluebell Railway when I visited it in 1988, but it is not there now. It would be nice to know where it went to. All over 'Spirit' radio ad on this Olympian of Stagecoach. Awaiting its next turn of duty, this Volvo sits outside it's Chichester garage Lovingly restored, a Cavalier in full Southdown tradition at the at Worthing running day. The ultimate Southdown touring coach. Sightseeing around Paris. Stagecoach Volvo pulls in to the Chichester bus station BH&D Dennis Dart near Churchill Square Southdown VRT with the 'Hissing Sid' logo in Portsmouth Brighton Coaches 'hop on hop off' circuler route. Stagecoach are good at recognizing their own heritage; here a Dennis Dart is painted up in King Alfred colours Arriva operate Horsham's Park&Ride service, seen here in the Carfax Stagecoach as always, recognizing their heritage; a Dennis Dart is re-painted up in Southdown colours My oldest photo, & in colour too. Southdown PD2/2 with Leyland body. The standard GM bus of Vancouver Transit at Vancouver International. The new 'Red Rocket' street cars of Toronto. This was near the exhibition grounds. The old 'Red Rocket' street car on Younge Street in Toronto First Dennis Dart at the Hadleigh garage BH&D at Churchill Square How sureal is this... Southdown PD2/12 with Beadle bodywork working at the Amberly Chalk Pits. MetroBus on Crawley town service All over ad on Brampton Transits 8500 Olympian seen here in the Santa Clause pareade in in Brampton Ontario When London Country still existed. This Atlantean is at Crawley station, long before the County Mall appeared in the background. You must experience the ride on these old Maltese buses. Despite names on the front, they are probably a different vehicle altogether. Many of these dwindling old Malta buses looked in remarkable condition, although many others were not. Many still in use were converted british army trucks from the 40's & 50's. Looking at them today you would never know. Until the advent of the recent modern bus, Malta had a thriving industry of building bus bodies. Great to see a GS in Horsham again; but 2!!! Horsham running day. Hants & Dorset lodeckers lined up by the railway Ex Arriva London moved south & seen in Horsham on local route Old Southdawn at Amberly. London Central in Oxford Street. Cranleigh based Tillingbourne shut down due to operating costs. Their routes were taken over by Arriva. A busy scene on Regent Street, & still showing signs of Routemasters in 2004 When Routemasters were still for London Transport. Routmasters still hard at work; this one with MetroLine on Oxford Street. RT in the Carfax; nostalgia at the Horsham running day. A line of preserved Southdown buses A 1969 pic of Horsham's Southdown garage on Denne Road. Here I visited a lot as a kid. It could house 88 vehicles inside & out! The huge Stockwell Garage of London General Servicing bays at London Generals Stockwell garage Trident of First at Oxford Circus. Arriva at Victoria Station Volvo of London General in Oxford Street.
