My Grandfather Cliff and his cousin Athol, somewhere up around Lake St Clair in 1942. They would have been 17 at the time.

Iizaka Onsen, Fukushima, Japan - November 2019
1. A sign says that there's a public bath somewhere down the steps. We decide to check it out.
2. There's a ticket machine for admission to the bath. In we go.
3. When I go to the men's side I see a pair of shoes... someone is in the bath!
4. The next clue that I am not alone - his cloths are in the locker room.
5. Now I am naked and just about to enter the bathing room.
6. Looking through the glass door. There he is! He was rinsing off and getting ready to leave. He was a local guy, he greeted me with a big smile and said that the hot bath was great and he hoped I would enjoy it.
7. Since this is a hot bath used primarily by locals it's not very fancy but it gets the job done. I had a nice long soak in the 40 degree centegrde water, it was great!
All the best,
Mike

final 3 days in the life of an old airliner
final 3 days in the life of an old airliner
The 40 passenger twin radial engine Convair 240 was built from 1947 to 1954. This one had been a roadside display at a local small airport for 12 years. As it was suffering from the elements, the decision was made to dispense with it. These 7 photos show it's final 3 days.
The twin 18 cylinder radial engines producing 2,400 horsepower each are no longer used on any operational aircraft. But some of the parts are usable on later models so an aircraft junkyard bought the engines.
A movie prop rental house bought the 40 seats since they had an aircraft fuselage but no seats.
Then it became a simple matter of cutting up the aircraft into pieces that could be hauled to the recycling yard. It became worth 15 cents a pound for the aluminum and 5 cents a pound for the steel.
On day 2, it was coming apart.
A local aviation school asked it they could have the cockpit so the entire nose was cut off and loaded onto their trailer. The twin ashtrays, one for the pilot, one for the co-pilot, was a throwback to a different era.
End of day 2, the end was approaching
Day 3, all cut up into transportable sections and off to the metal recycling facility.
