On This Day 31st March 1992.

Side view of the bare wooden fuselage of a small, pre-World War 2-era airliner, standing on metal supports, facing to the right, looking more like a boat than an aeroplane.
Most of the exterior is yellow, with the upper sections being an orangey-red, and the interiors being painted a flat grey.
Mounting points for the bi-plane wings can be seen at the top and bottom of the fuselage.
There is a gaping hole where the front of the cockpit should be, allowing a view of wires and pulleys for the controls, as well as internal bracing struts.
The large, ovoid doorway from the cockpit to the passenger cabin is in the middle of the frame, with a good view of the rounded, truncated triangular windows of the cabin, visible on both sides of the plane, the cabin interior being very dark.
In the background, the dark wooden balustrade of an elevated walkway runs around the interior of the museum building, stretching all the way across the frame.
Ornate metal beams hold up the roof, most of which is brown wooden slats, but a large chunk of the roof in the top right corner is heavily glazed, allowing lots of natural light in.

Close up of the forward fuselage of a white, twin engined bi-plane airliner taxiing from right to left on grass.
The plane has a grey belly and engines, with a green stripe running along the body and green "Caernarfon Air World" titles on the lower forward fuselage.
The pilot is visible in the cockpit, with passengers sitting in the cabin, visible through the triangular windows.
Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.

The cream-coloured registration "G-AIYR" is displayed prominently on the side of the rear fuselage.
Grass fills the foreground, with a house nestled in trees in the background, under a bright but hazy sky.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left onto a runway. The plane has white upper surfaces and a grey lower half, with a dark blue rear fuselage. A series of red dots arranged to form a lower-case letter "b" are on the tail. There are black "Brussels Airlines" titles on the upper forward fuselage, with smaller "Brussels Airlines.com" titles on the rear fuselage. Green grass fills the foreground, with a grey hanger on the right in the background. Blue sky with smatterings of grey cloud filling the rest of the frame.

When I took the train on the #SNCF Paris - Lyon - Méditerranée line for the 1st time in 1981, our #Rapide was composed of a “nez cassé”-design loco and #Corail carriages. Both vehicle types are still in service, on regional duties though: photo taken at Lyon earlier this week.

A photo taken one evening at #Dijon in August 2019: an #SNCF #BB22200 dual-voltage electric and a rake of #Corail carriages forming a #TER regional train. 40 years earlier these “Nez cassé” locos and Corail cars could be seen on the country’s most prestigious #Rapide services.

Side view of a white and green, biplane, twin propellor engined airliner taxiing on grass from left to right, under a grey sky.

Rear view of a white and dark blue twin engined bizjet taxiing from right to left against a hazy backdrop of green grass and grey taxiways.

Side view of a grey and dark blue, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right and away from the camera, with acres of tarmac and green grass leading off to trees vanishing into misty cloud.

Rather grainy side view of a white, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner, taxiing from right to left, it's wheels hidden by the crest of a low rise, the camera being slightly below the level of the taxiway, under a slightly gold-tinged sky.
