21/4/84. The Conway Crusader tour comes off the Conway Valley line with an interesting pairing. This was the second tour. The first one on the 10/3/84 featured 40029 & 50018.
Seen here running off the Skirl O' The Pipes III railtour. The tour split here: one portion going onto the Burghead branch (using this Whistler), whilst the other made for Inverness and the Far North line (utilising 40044 to IS).
The No.1 chart hit on this day was "Karma Chameleon" by Culture Club.
40029 was withdrawn in April 1989 and cut up in November 1984. RIP.
In an attempt to impress Princess Leia, Han jumps out of a Lego Valentine's Day box. I'm not sure she was impressed..... I think she was hoping to find chocolates instead :-)

Garde Pionier ...
Garde-Reserve-Pionier-Regiment / 9. Compagnie
13 Armee-Korps
27 Infanterie-Division
"On April 20 the III. and IV. Garde-Pionier-Bataillone were merged into the Garde-Reserve-Pionier-Regiment. It consisted of the 1st-4th Companies in the 1st Battalion, the 5th-8th Companies in the 2nd Battalion, the 9th and 10th Companies, an Experimental Company (Versuchs-Kompagnie), a recruit depot, and three battalion staffs and workshops. Individual flamethrower companies were initially attached to various army corps. However, this was soon abandoned, as some companies became degraded through too much combat, while others saw no action at all."

This stamp is from this early period of the regiment (stamped June 1, 1916).
Update :
Found him, Herbert Thiele listed wounded on June 19. I think soldiers were listed few days after it happens so he was probably wounded as soon as he went back to the front. I will try to find the action.

Carlisle Kingmoor to the rescue!
The Skirl III originally had 40029 and 40044 as the paired Whistlers for the tour, but 044 blew up in Inverness (resulting in a 40/26 combo for the journey from Inverness to Glasgow (via Aberdeen and Edinburgh)). With Class 40's being barred from Glasgow Central, Polmadie was the reunification point for the massive Type 4s.
Kingmoor had sent 090 light engine especially for the tour (and very, very welcome she was too).
The No.1 chart hit on this day was "Karma Chameleon" by Culture Club.
40090 was withdrawn two months later in November 1983 and cut-up in November 1984. RIP.

Carnforth Monday 2nd May 1983. 40029 has failed on 1F32 18:30 Barrow-in-Furness- Liverpool LS and 40034 is being coupled to take the train, somewhat late, to it's destination. 40029 had earlier put in a lackluster performance on 1P27 15:13 Manchester Victoria – Barrow-in Furness, as was customary for this loco as it was simply, a ‘nag’ and also one of the 'Longsight Ten', ten locos which had their power output derated by about 10%, presumably to reduce wear & tear and ultimately, maintenance (the others being 018, 027,095,097,098, 117, 119, 177 & 180). Fortuitously, 40034 was on hand having worked an Adex to/from Morecambe (from Glasgow), taking over from an electric loco at Carnforth.
While awaiting 40034 to be procured from the stabling point, the guard walked through the train to find if any passengers had onward connections to London. On reaching one lady, and confirming that she was indeed travelling to London, 870xx belted through the station on the 17:10 Glasgow – Euston which 1F32 should have connected into at Preston. When the guard pointed at it and said, “That’s the London” said lady started to complain bitterly with him, with the prize comment being “Why didn't you get out and flag it down”!
And yes, the grinning youth is me.

Alabama state record parachute jump on 20 March 2009 in Elberta, AL at Emerald Coast Skydiving Center (Horak Airfield). This was a state record for the highest "Tandem Parachute" skydive (Instructor and passenger connected together), highest "Wingman" skydive (winged jumpsuits that allow the skydiver to glide in freefall, previously called birdmen) and highest solo civilian skydive for the state of Alabama. We may have broken other regional records but this is not confirmed.
At 4:20pm on Friday, 20 March 2009, the below listed skydivers exited a Twin turbo prop Dehavilland "Super" Twin Otter at 29,400 feet above ground level over Horak Field to set the above state records. The outside air temperature at that altitude was -20 F. The initial freefall speeds for the tandem pair and solo jumps accelerated to near 200mph in the upper less dense air but decelerated to about 115mph as we approached the lower opening altitudes. Due to the extreme high altitude, oxygen was required since the useful consciousness at the exit altitude is about 1 minute. In addition, 30 minutes of pre-breathing 100% oxygen prior to the jump is required to decrease the nitrogen concentration in the body to prevent what scuba divers call the "bends" (nitrogen bubbles in the tissues or blood stream). After a complete training session with all the jumpers we were fitted with oxygen masks, helmets and bailout oxygen bottles. We boarded the Twin Otter about 45 minutes before the record jump and connected our oxygen system to the console in the aircraft. The climb to altitude took about 35 minutes. During the climb we monitored each other for any problems under the supervision of the load master. At 28,000 feet we switched to our bailout bottles and disconnected from the aircraft oxygen console. When we reached our record altitude we positioned near the door and exited in the following order: wingman, tandem pair with videographer then solo jumpers. The total freefall time for the tandem pair was about 2 minutes and 15 seconds at an opening altitude of 5,500 feet.
We did have live TV news coverage on the ground by WEAR TV out of Pensacola, FL.
The record jump was organized by Jim Horak and the oxygen system was provided by Kevin Holbrook owner of "HALOjumper.com" out of Tennessee and Mississippi. Kevin and myself were former members of the US Army Special Forces or "Green Berets" and prior military freefall jumpers. In later years we served as medical officers for the Special Operations command. Kevin started his company to make the high altitude jumps available to civilian skydivers and later tandem passengers.
Emerald Coast Skydiving Center is the second oldest continuously operating civilian Drop Zone in the US. It was originally started by my father, retired Col. Jim Horak, Sr. MD Evans, also a former member of the US Army Special Forces, along with his wife Nancy run the business now. We previously set the record for the largest freefall formation in Alabama over 10 years ago with 40 skydivers. The drop zone is also home for military parachute operations for the Army, Navy, Marines and Airforce.
The following people were involved in this record jump:
1) Kevin Holbrook (Load master and supplier of the oxygen system).
2) Jim Horak, Jr. (Tandem Instructor and record organizer) (Commercial pilot)
3) Kay Taylor (Tandem passenger and frequent tandem rider at Emerald Coast)
4) Jason Read (Freefall videographer for the tandem)
5) Axel Grisett (Wingman)
6) Nate Horner (solo jumper and naval aviator)
7) Elvis (solo jumper and retired naval flight officer)
8) Kim Radford (solo jumper)
Pilots:
Travis Creel and Timber McKinney
