Last flight outta town

24 Feb 2010 79
Languishing around the back of Liverpool's old art deco airport terminal. This Bristol Britannia has the distinction of being the same kind of aeroplane that the Beatles used for that iconic piece of film where they're at this airport amidst the height of screaming Beatlemania. As for the photo, it's kinda dingy, but that matched the weather and perhaps my mood so, well, meh. But view a bit larger and the texture of the apron is nice.

Birkenhead Priory

(And a clichéd car shot!)

Submarine drydock crane

05 May 2008 69
From Birkenhead Priory's yard. The expansion of the docks cost the parish most of the housing which the church here served, and later cost the church its graveyard, and then its purpose, since the community had been moved along! The ancient (11th Century or so) priory at the site is, however, now a museum, and its chapel is in use again.

Closed old bridge, Albania

09 Aug 2010 76
Albania's new roads are quite simply astonishing. What was once several days of journeying is now accomplished in hours. This old bridge was once a compulsory part of the scary trek from Kosova, via Rubik, to Tirana. Truck was once towed across it while having "propshaft issues"... you could see through the concrete to the river below. This photo is from the set "Albania — Jane's photos", all of which are from the Aid Convoy preliminary trip to Bathore / Kamza, near Tirana, Albania, where we resurrected our project there. This set – readily identified by the lack of a black border around each photo – shows photos not taken by me, but by my colleague Jane. I don't normally upload other people's photos but these are here to complete the story when seen in conjunction with mine (with black borders), in the "Albania 2010" set.
