“LTD Crown Victoria”

1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria 🇺🇸

The 1987 Ford LTD Crown Victoria stands as a proud representation of American automotive craftsmanship during a time of transition. As the era of big-bodied sedans waned, this Ford model held its ground with a blend of traditional design and evolving technology. Originating from an era when full-size sedans dominated American roads, the Crown Victoria was a familiar sight, often associated with authority due to its widespread use in law enforcement and government fleets. A notable moment in its history was its role as the last full-size, rear-wheel-drive sedan offered by Ford until the introduction of the 1992 Crown Victoria.

Available exclusively for “No Limits” and “All Inclusive” tiers this January. Since February 1’st. Available for All Inclusive tier only.

Model with HQ interior, open/close doors, trunk and functional light.

On August 8th 1984 the Kylesku Bridge officially opened to traffic.

The Kyslesku Bridge in Sutherland on the north-west of Scotland carries the non-trunk A894 across Loch a' Chàirn Bhàin between Unapool and Kylestrome.

The bridge was designed for what was then Highland Regional Council by Ove Arup and Partners. It was, in part, financed by the European Community, and built by Morrison Construction Ltd. The cost was £4 million, rather more than the budgeted £2¾ million, in part due to difficult weather conditions during construction.

The structure replaced a succession of ferries which had crossed between Kyslesk and Kylestrome since the early 19th century. When this ferry was not running, the only alternative was a 100 mile (160 km) detour around the NW Highlands.

Over the years, various ferries came and went, and small car-carrying ferries first appeared between the wars. The Kylesku Ferry was unusual in being free for much of its life. The Maid of Kylesku, a two car ferry, was built for the Kylesku crossing in the early 1950s, where it was operated until replaced by the Queen of Kylesku in 1967.

Check out the video below for a clip of the Queen of Kylesku, and can you imagine bairns being allowed to help like that nowadays!

The Bridge is one of those seminal points of the NC500 and lovers of road trips will appreciate the impressive way of affording us such magnificent views and access. There is a large car park on the North side where you can stop and take in the views.

Pics are of the bridge, of course and two of the ferries that used to sail betwen the points.

Lockheed L-1011 All Nippon Airways

Registration: JA8514 Type: 1011-1 Engines: 3 × RR RB211-22B Serial Number: 1117 First flight: Jun 3, 1975

All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd., is the largest airline in Japan. Its headquarters are located in Shiodome City Center in the Shiodome area of Minato ward of Tokyo. It operates services to both domestic and international destinations. ANA bought its first widebody aircrafts, six Lockheed L-1011s, in November 1971. The aircraft entered service on the Tokyo-Okinawa route in 1974. Initially, the carrier had ordered McDonnell Douglas DC-10s but cancelled the order at the last minute and switched to Lockheed. ANA operated 21 of these jets as the main aircraft for trunk lines and major local routes and also used it on scheduled short-haul international flights from 1986. Known informally as the Tristar, it was retired from service in November 1995.

airsLLides No. 2664 EC-ECS, Boeing 737-375, Air Europa, Salzburg, January 20, 1989.

When established in 1986, Air Europa was the Spanish daughter of the British ILG-Air Europe Group Ltd. which later also formed an Italian subsidiary of the same name. Air Europa's initial corporate design thus also closely matched the British parent's brand, with just the altered last letter of the name and the national flags visibly distinguishing the two.

G-BNPB, Boeing 737-3S3, Air Europe, Salzburg, January 20, 1989.

Almost identical twins, aren't they: G-BNPB flies for parent Air Europe, performing a seasonal inbound charter to the Austrian alps, while its daughter's jet above is about to pick-up local Austrian residents for a break in the warm South of Europe.

The Spanish subsidiary Air Europe initially focussed on the leisure travel market, using a fleet of Boeing 737-300s, later supplemented by the Boeing 757-200 on trunk markets. The British mother however would soon struggling over financial turbulences caused by the entry into the scheduled passenger market, forcing ILG-Air Europe to cease trading in 1991.

The two Mediterranean subsidiaries however escaped the parent's failure and continued trading. While the Italian daughter, since 2000 under the control of former competitor Volare, ultimately also vanished following the new parents failure in 2004 and a fruitless attempt to restart business in 2007/08, the Spanish Air Europa has survived to the present day.

Merger attempts started by IAG International Airline Group that would have led to Air Europa's integration into Spanish flagcarrier Iberia were cancelled twice, and thus Air Europa still trades. However, it is no longer a leisure carrier, but a scheduled airline and member of Star Alliance, serving an extensive intra-European and Latin American network.

The A. & G. Price Ltd Foundry in Thames. January, 2021. This is gonna be a long one, so consider yourself warned.

Directly behind the image is where the East Coast Main Trunk Line (ECMT) connected to the Foundry and allowed for A. & G. Price built locomotives to be attached to the end of an outgoing NZR train.

Many non-Price Locomotives have graced the (long removed) timetable, including the 'Taupō Mallet' (ALCo 53970/1912).

But who were A. & G. Price? Originally founded in Onehunga, Auckland, as a marine firm by Alfred and George Price, the brothers would take advantage of the Coromandel gold rush and begin selling industrial pumps to mining companies in the 1870s.

They would also close down the Onehunga premises and set up shop in Beach Rd, Thames. Price got their start in the railway industry with a small 0-4-0ST locomotive for Messrs. Smith of Kennedy's Bay. This loco is generally considered to be a resounding failure. The first successful locomotives would be the Ministry of Works (known colloquially as the Public Works Dept, PWD) 501-502 series. These were identical to the NZR Wf Class.

Price is well known for their Climax and Heisler clones, which employed features from both locomotives. Notable engines include the Cb Type (Cb 117 used on construction of Nihotupu Dam), V Type ('true' Heisler clone), E Type (Class B Climax clone, used Heisler style pony trucks) and the Cba (an improved Cb). They would build 16-wheeler bush lokeys*.

Price would also build dozens of locomotives for New Zealand Railways and would later begin producing diesel locomotives for bush and industrial railways. By the 1990s, Price was king! They had spent the 20th Century building locomotives and road vehicles for lucrative government contracts, and there was no end in sight. They had even regauged the Silver Star carriages to metre gauge for export to Singapore.

Except there was. By 2017, the company lost most of its work, as neither NZRC (New Zealand Railways Corporation), TranzRail, TollRail, or KiwiRail have ever gone back to Price. The company was subsequently placed into administration. The company was saved by an Auckand based businessman and was reformed as AG Price Ltd, ending the 149-year legacy of the greatest engineering firm in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Many A. & G. Price locomotives can still be found on heritage railways, and I know of one Price-CAT Inc. motor grader in a museum. The Foundry is a heritage listed building which means it can never be torn down.

Notchback Market

Market Overview: The global Notchback Market is estimated to be valued at US$78.49 billion in 2023, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5% from 2023 to 2030.

Queen of the Sky Worldbuilding: Atlantean Airways

Y'all like planes? I love planes. I have an unhealthy fixation on commercial airliners.

If you choose, you can now expose yourself to me obsessing about Atlantean Airways, an airline featured in the Airfleet Universe.

Boeing 767-400ER (reg: AL-LTM) of Atlantean Airways, featuring the current airline livery, known as the 'Bluetail' livery, adopted in 2001.

Atlantean Airways, formally Atlantean Airways System (AAS) Ltd. is the flag carrier of the Federal Republic of North Atlantia, Cascadia and Vinland (Atlantia), and the largest airline in Atlantia by size and number of destinations. It is fully owned and operated by the Atlantean federal state.

Atlantean Airways System was founded in Marion, Atlantia state in 1924. Originally delivering air mail and light cargo, Atlantean became a passenger airline in 1928. In 1930, Atlantean began to fly commercial routes across the Atlantic to Yuros, and across the Pacific to the Atlantean island state of Lemuria, located in the North Pacific.

In 1954, Atlantean Airways was divided into Atlantean Airways System, which was primarily an international airline, and Atlantean Trans-Continental Airways (ATCA), which was primarily domestic. Both remained state-owned by the Atlantean federal state.

In 1984, Atlantean Airways and Atlantean Trans-Continental were merged into a single airline once again, with Atlantean Airways taking on more domestic trunk routes, and ATCA taking on more regional routes. In 1987, Atlantean Trans-Continental became Atlantean Airways Regional Airlink, and became fully integrated into the branding of the parent airline.

Today, Atlantean Airways has approximately 358 destinations within Atlantia and abroad, not including routes serviced by Atlantean Airlink and has 661 aircraft as of 2025. The airline displays an affinity for Boeing aircraft, but recent controversy involving the nominal successor to the Boeing 737 NG, the Boeing 737 MAX, has caused Atlantean to consider Atlantean's traditional rival Airbus for renewal of the fleet.
