The B-25 was a very important weapon in the air war of WW II. I was impressed by two features. One, how tiny this plane is and two, how well armed it is with machine guns and canons pointing in all directions. The WW II era planes were not highly reflective like this one is.
The North American B-25 Mitchell is an American twin-engine, medium bomber manufactured by North American Aviation. It was named in honor of Major General William "Billy" Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. Used by many Allied air forces, the B-25 served in every theater of World War II and after the war ended many remained in service, operating across four decades. Produced in numerous variants, nearly 10,000 Mitchells rolled from NAA factories.[1] These included a few limited models, such as the United States Marine Corps' PBJ-1 patrol bomber and the United States Army Air Forces' F-10 reconnaissance aircraft and AT-24 trainers.

The original “Panchito”, named after the feisty rooster from Disney’s animated musical The Three Caballeros, was a bomber with the 396th Bomb Squadron, 41st Bomb Group, 7th Air Force, stationed in the Central Pacific. After several attacks on various Japanese strongholds in Southern Japan as well as Japanese help Eastern China, she was scheduled for another bombing run to Japan on the day the Japanese surrendered.

Walking around Weymouth, a town that I don't know at all, I found myself a block back from the main strip and very quiet. I looked down a road and saw Jason walking towards me. I must confess that I was a little nervous to go up to him but the light was good in that spot and I really wanted a picture of him. As is the norm in this project, you can't judge a book by it's cover and and instead of mugging me, he gave a friendly smile and agreed right away. I took the front on shot and then had a chat. Now often I don't spend a lot of time chatting to strangers because I shoot in busy area's where people are in a hurry. But I'm glad I did in this case.
Jason told me that he works as a councilor in an outreach programme for drug addicts. He is an ex heroin addict himself. I have an enormous amount of respect for anyone who's managed to beat that particular problem.
He also told me how he saved a guy's life a few months back when he found him overdosed in a public toilet round the corner from where we were standing. Unfortunately the guy OD'd again a month later and wasn't lucky enough to have someone to save him again. Phew, hectic!
I think it is incredibly brave to get involved in helping addicts when he probably struggles daily with the same urges that they have.
Jason told me that he never uses computers so we swapped numbers and I promised to get some copies printed of these and will post them to him.

Here it is the Police Intervention Unit. In cases where the usual fire power is not enough it is called PIU to solve the problem.
A team usually consists of an autonomous intervention droid (PID-25) and a support agent on a hover scooter. If necessary it's possible to coordinate several teams to conduct more effective operations. Although there are rumors that these teams can not work together, the truth is that only have soared between them on a couple of times causing injuries of varying degrees.
It has drastically reduced the hostage conflict resolution time since the PIU are operational with a survival rate of 22%, and despite what has been said in other media, most victims do not present injuries caused by weapons of PID-25.

The temple is not far from our shop and I have been there often as Mara is the goddess of girls and women. We walked together and the priest did not stop praising my help.
“Perhaps the goddess has plans with you, Tifana. In the temple we will find out.”
