A Common Tern hovers silently above the cool waters scanning for its next meal. On the verge of an invisible precipice, a moment will pass and it will dive headlong into the sea. Although it hovers a dozen feet above the ocean's interface, it will descend, break the surface, capture its prey, and return to the air again in merely a fraction of a second. Its dark tipped bill hints at a point in time and space, precise, yet still indeterminate. Its wings taper and disappear into the cool, salty air, holding it aloft, and its deeply forked tail mocks a continuum from which it recently emerged. Balancing joyfully on the breeze, it is the essence of agility. It seems that with a simple turn it could almost disappear into thin air. In fact, it will, reappearing again just above the rippling waves, along with a taste of the sea. #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #NorthAmerica #USA #CommonTerns #DrDADBooks #WildlifeConservation

Mark I Hawker Hurricane R4118 basks in some winter sunshine at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, 2nd December 2025. R4118nis widely regarded as the most historic fighter aircraft to survive from the Second World War and is the only Hurricane to have actually taken part in the Battle of Britain that is still flying. Built by the Gloster Aircraft company, R4118 was delivered to 605 County of Warwick Squadron in August 1940 and flew 49 sorties from Croydon during the Battle of Britain, shooting down or damaging five enemy aircraft. Shot down on 22nd October 1940, R4118 was rebuilt and taken on charge by 111 Squadron at Dyce on 18th January 1941 where it was flown on patrol over the North Sea and again saw active combat. Moving to 59 OUT and then latter 56 OUT it was used as a training aircraft and was rebuilt a further three times following major accidents. In December 1943, R4118 was crated at Cardiff and shipped to India as a training aircraft. However, it was never needed and remained in its packing case in Bombay until 1947 when it was struck off charge and donated to Varanasi university for engineering instruction. The fuselage was stood outside in a compound with the propeller, wings and tailplane laid on the ground where it remained, exposed to the elements until
June 2001 when the airframe was safely delivered to Hawker Restorations in Suffolk. Meticulous attention was paid to make sure R4118 was restored to her 1940 condition, as flown in the Battle of Britain. The airframe was covered in original Irish linen and the early Merlin III engine was rebuilt with a new Rotol propeller constructed by Skycraft. R4118 flew again for the first time post restoration just before Christmas in 2004.
Sixty two year old Rail Operations Group 37800 on unit transfer duty (730204) approaches Toton working 5Q58, 11:24 Gascoigne Wood – Old Dalby, 8th December 2025.
Locomotive History
37800 was originally D6843 and was built by English Electric at the Vulcan Foundry Works, entering traffic on the 29th May 1963, allocated to Cardiff Canton MPD. In August 1966 it headed north for Scotland and would spend the next eight years generally on freight duties in the Scottish lowlands allocated initially Polmadie and later Eastfield. At the end of 1974 it was back to South Wales with transfer to initially Landore and then within a couple of weeks to Cardiff Canton. On the 29th January 1975 whilst departing Marine Colliery with a coal train bound for Llanwern steel works, 37143 went through a set of trap points, incorrectly set by the shunter, and continued through the stopblock and down the embankment stopping just short of the river Ebbw, thankfully the train crew escaped with minor injuries. 37143 would spend the next six months here until finally recovered from the bottom of an embankment on the 4th August 1975 after two previous attempts had been unsuccessful. It was transferred to Tinsley in February 1977, Immingham in November 1977 and Stratford in May 1984 before entering Crewe Works for refurbishment in March 1986 and remerged in September 1986 as 37800, allocated to Cardiff. It was transferred to Immingham in 1993, Stewarts Lane in 1994, Eastleigh in 1997 and Toton in 1998 prior to being sent overseas to France for infrastructure duties in August 1999. It returned from France in July 2000 and departed for Spain for further infrastructure duties a year later in August 2001 operated by GIF and numbered L33. After eleven years in Spain it returned to the UK in September 2012 and following overhaul it was re-instated to traffic in May 2016
