Some more of Beeston’s street art, photographed on Expired Film Day but this time on film only 12 years out of date!

This is just a small part of mural by that adorns The Quadrant, a multi-purpose venue next to Beeston Library. It was painted by Anna Wheelhouse and unveiled in May 2023.

An image from a visit to the Midland Air Museum in May.

F-BGNR is a Vickers Viscount 708 that entered service with Air France in May 1954, serving with that airline until 1962 when it was sold to Air Inter who operated it for 11 years and whose livery the aircraft now carries.

In 1973 F-BGNR became a ground instructional airframe at Scone Airport in Scotland, remaining there until 1996 when it was sold to Skysport Engineering who put the aircraft into storage in Bedfordshire pending conversion to a conference venue. The conversion didn’t go ahead and F-BGNR moved to the Midland Air Museum in 2007.

Earlier this year I celebrated my birthday with a delicious pub lunch and a couple of pints of ale at The George Hotel at Youlgreave in the Peak District and a stroll around All Saints Churchyard with a camera… not everyone’s idea of a good time perhaps, but it suited me perfectly!
