Lucky film! I was developing the first 2 of 4 rolls of B&W film tonight while cooking dinner and while on autopilot I stupidly unscrewed the light tight inner lid of the Paterson tank to pour the developer in. I realised and quickly put the lid back on and thought I would try to develop the film anyway.
Rather than my usual developing method I went for a high contrast look and under develop the shadows in a attempt to reduce the potential light leak fogging.
Developing was 2.5 Xtol : 7.5 waterr, 36 degrees, 9 mins, with more agitating.
To my amazement I think I only lost 2 photos of 24 to the light leak! So lucky!
Here is an example of the higher contrast higher grain look.
Hasselblad 501C + Zeiss Sonnar 150mm f4 @ f5.6 1/125 + Fomapan 100@400 + flash. I was shooting into the sun hence the flare.

A 33 Squadron Puma HC Mk2 Helicopter on the ground during Exercise Jebel Sahara in Morocco.
The Puma HC Mk1 reached its Out of Service date with the Royal Air Force in December 2012. After a life extension programme to deliver a significantly upgraded aircraft, the Puma HC Mk2 took to the skies with an RAF crew in September 2013.
The Puma HC Mk2 boasts two new powerful engines, which will provide a major increase in performance, especially in hot and high conditions, and an additional internal fuel tank that increases its range and endurance.
The new glass cockpit includes a world-class four axis digital autopilot, secure communications and an advanced Flight Management System.

Built as a B(I)8 in 1956, WT333 was delivered, new, to Marshall's of Cambridge for trials installation of the Smith's Mk 19 autopilot as well as power rudder stabiliser trials. Shortly afterwards (a few months) it was transferred to the Royal Aircraft Establishment's Armament Department for LABS development and flight trials (Low Altitude Bombing System).
In 1959, WT333 was transferred once again, this time to the charge of Controller (Aircraft) and, in 1958, at the Aircraft & Armament Experimental Establishment (A&AEE) it took part in rocket firing trials with the Microcell unguided missile system.
Around 1964 it returned to Marshall's for a major overhaul before going to BAC Warton in 1965 to take part in flight trials involving drop tanks. A&AEE carried out flight clearance for drop tanks in 1966. In the same year, WT333 was sent to 12 Joint Services Trials Unit at Edinburgh Field (Australia) where it undertook a series of weapons trials before returning to the Radar Research Establishment at Pershaw for "Sky Flash" missile homing head development in 1969.
1970 saw this B(I)8 being put into strorage at 27 MU RAF Shawbury. where it languished until 1976 when it was removed from store and modified into a "long nose" B.6 - the "nose" fitted came from Canberra WK135. It was flown to RAE Bedford in 1977.
Upon being put up for disposal WT333 was purchased via auction by Classic Aviation Projects and registered as G-BVXC on 9th January 1995. Delivery by air to Bruntingthorpe took place on 28th January 1995 – her final flight. Once at Bruntingthorpe she was used as a source of spares for sister Canberras XH568 and WK163 until the airframe was sold to Roger Wintle and Arthur Perks. A pair of Rolls Royce Avon 109 engines were subsequently purchased and installed in the aircraft to return her to a taxiable condition, a popular feature of the regular open days that take place at Bruntingthorpe. Arthur Perks’ place on the team has been replaced by three more enthusiasts; the aim is to keep ‘Treble Three’ in taxiable condition and demonstrate her as a tribute to all the Canberras and crews that provided such sterling service to the RAF and other air arms worldwide.
c/n unknown
Built in 1956 but not delivered to the RAF and instead retained by Glosters for autopilot and flight refuelling trials. In June 1960 she was allocated the maintenance serial 7641M and used for ground instruction by No.12 School of Technical Training at RAF Melksham. In 1965 XA634 joined the collection of historic aircraft at RAF Colerne but in 1976, after Colerne had closed, she went on display as the gate guard at RAF Leeming, wearing the markings of 228 Operational Conversion Unit who had operated the type from Leeming until disbanding in 1961.
She joined the Jet Age collection in November 2014 and arrived on site in March 2015, transported by GJD Services. At the time of our visit she was still stored on the airfield, but was due to move to the museum site later in 2021.

Our ship catches up toward the chopper, thankfully with the device Ghostforge managed to plant on Bronze Butcher’s back. But problem is, the team’s been arguing....and Riley couldn’t be more than enraged by trying to shoot at the enemy.
Harry: “What are you doing?!”
Riley: “I’m gonna kill em ole bastards for trying to hurt my boyfriend.”
Sam: “Christ, calm the heck down. What if you killed him—-and then we’re gonna lose our only source of redemption for our ally?”
Lyra: “Tout le monde a besoin de se calmer! Guys, we’ve been arguing over the last 15 minutes. Can we stop?”
Edens (voice): “Look guys, I hate to drag you into this, but autopilot’s not gonna save your trip overseas, despite the short distance. Someone man the flight. Or the hangar.”
Lyra: “The professor has a point....hmm. The storms are getting bigger. We do have to pick up the pace.”
And there we go. I decide to handle the flight controls, thanks to my aviation experience, with Harry as my co-pilot. During our initial meeting, I’ve developed quite a friendship with him, just like Sam. It is a bit odd to say I treat them as if they were cousins instead of siblings. But either way, I don’t care. Harry’s taught more on the control of powers since Kieran was too busy to handle it...and Sam teaches me medical stuff. At least, I don’t get teased for being the youngest....
Harry: “You ready for this, monk girl?”
Lyra: “Oh, stop calling me that.”
Harry: “Well, but you are from the mountains...I mean, you have a great prowess, considering in my experience I’ve met a lotta kids who are awesome.”
Lyra: “Yeah. Explosion back there almost gave me a shock. I was unprepared...but it’s like...when I got hurt, I’ve developed more healing....ç'est fantastique.”
Harry: “Well Sam was pretty good at that too. I enjoy having two combat doctors. It's a perfect combo. Anyways, position the coordinates. We’re not too far behind from those guys...get ready to uncloak. Deactivate your invisibility”
Sam: “You sure?—-“
Bronze Butcher *interrupts*: “So, you’ve finally shown yourself. I do have a robot on my hands...wanna come get it?”
Riley: “Oh yeah. I’ll be coming for you first, you f***ing knobface.”
Bronze Butcher: “Well, another challenger to eat the winds again. I’m still on my way to find my benefactor, but if you want to be my guest, my pleasure.”
Sam: “Wait a minute. You’re delivering it to whom? Third—I mean, there’s a fourth party who wants it?”
Bronze Butcher: “Yes. But given that we’re almost there, if you wanna grab it, come and get it. Surprises, surprises.”
Sam does not hesitate to accept the challenge, immediately leaving the cockpit , along with Riley following behind, because why not. Both jet and chopper are set to autopilot, as three of em’ start to unsheathe their weapons. I absorb the plane’s interior to keep myself protected. Bronze Butcher is the first to attack ,attempting to use his shoulder cannon to dispatch both agents, but the shots deflect off our plates, thankfully. He then uses his arm blade and engages in CQC, which Sam avoids and keeps clashing. The butcher proceeds to use his shortstick and tries to electrocute Sam, which he shakes off the buzz with his katana, absorbing it in.
Riley, still in her angry state, vibrates her swords, sending our carriages into a bit of a spiral due to her power effects, but all three manage to keep their foot steady. She lunges towards her enemy, eye to eye coming in contact with his mask. I knew it would be a risky move considering the fact that Riley’s smashing BB’s jet, like a ferocious tiger mauling its prey. Smoke starts welling up on the enemy jet as Sam, who gives a quick annoyed look, goes in and extracts what’s left of there. It doesn’t take long for it to almost sink in the sea. The Bronze Butcher nearly falls into the water, but Harry made sure he wouldn’t drown, thanks to his grappling hooks. We pull him quickly into our cabin, tied up like a wrapped gift.
Harry: “Gotcha now. See, I knew I repaired the jet well, especially the grappling hooks.”
Lyra: “Haha, show off.”
Harry: “Touché. That accounts for winning on that poker game by the way.”
Lyra: “Right. So, I guess we’ll have to ask him where he can take us...”
Kurt (voice): “You kids better remember not to use my fishing gear onboard....ugh.”
***
As expected, our jet manages to brace the storm and rain quickly. We have gotten closer to the borders of South Korea. After a daunting 10 minutes and still under cloak mode for most of the time, we land on the ground safely. Riley takes the lead as she grabs BB with ease. The rest of us are in toll, following behind, with a couple of confused villagers pointing us to the way we’re going.
A few more miles away, we get there eventually. A secret base, duh, obviously, thanks to the eye retinal scanners. We enter as we see someone so familiar sitting on the chairs....the White Ninja? He looks kinda the same, but with some black cybernetic parts at his back.
White Ninja: “Yeoboseyo, Paladin.”
Sam: “Since when do you started to speak Korean? How did you even wind up here after our last rematch?”
White Ninja: “Yes, Sabershift. I know you do have a lot of questions. I knew Bronze Butcher would lead you to me, somehow unexpectedly. I would like you to free him first.”
Riley: “Not if you answer, slime.”
White Ninja: “Please. I’m not going to attack anyone. Just...let him go. I mean no such harm.”
Harry: “Fine. Tell us whatcha know. You got 10 seconds before I blow your f*cking brains out. All of you.”
Spinebreaker: *appears*: Well, tis may seem like we are assassins working for Igarashi...but we’re not. Us in guild.....are a lost covenant. Lost cause.”
White Ninja: “Sorry if he attacked your lover, by the way. He suffers from a bit of autism, kind of hard to communicate but I will do my best to explain. So let’s start off with the beginning. I needed the robot for a purpose—because I wanted to unlock its secrets.”
Sam: “Sounds dubious. I don't believe a single word. Literally after our encounters.”
White Ninja: “Believe what you. But you’ll never know what it was like to leave that island....North rebuilt me, then left me. He does that after his employees and the things he sees are useless. I was broke. So I decided to reform my guild....and I wanted to go find a sword, after rumours of it appeared. So I became obsessed with it...I found out the sword could revive me.”
Harry: “That doesn’t mean you could use methods like these to get what you want. Not so much of an excuse.”
White Ninja: “Do I look like I have a choice anymore? I wanted to use it to heal myself....after the numerous procedures North had used...but it all started with Igarashi! He turned me from man to monster! Abusing me like a dog!”
Riley: “Well, sorry, I guess? About that part, but still you're a real of sh*t. ”
White Ninja: “I thought I could use it for good. Years of being a cybernetic assassin did me no good. Neither did the Yakuza kept their word. Now a war breaks out and it’s us left. Three. I don’t want to be seen as some hero since we relocated here....”
Spinebreaker: “It true. White Ninja wanted to help villagers. They friends. But I.....I am scary. I don’t like myself....”
Bronze Butcher: “We originally had a code...a name....until we lost it. The master threw us out like scrap toys...unwanted puppets after we were deemed unworthy to play with....”
Lyra: “Wow. Spoiler alert. That’s...quite a revelation. I guess you guys wanted to build a reputation here?”
White Ninja: “Yes. And my real name is....Nakamura. If you allow me to take you into this temporary makeshift home. Your ship can stay outside as long as you want it to be.”
"Harry: "Please don't tell me there is something sh*ttier inside this, and I'll still shoot regardless."
***
Nakamura: “....and I always longed to wield it, but I knew I couldn’t. I grew jealous of Dusksmoke for having a reputation....but I figured he would know the situation better than me. I was too ashamed of my appearance. That had me thrown out, like the other two.”
Sam: “This all makes sense now. That’s why you wanted the head to find the location. You wanted notoriety.”
Bronze Butcher: “But he—-we couldn’t find it. To no avail. I saw Dusksmoke getting robbed of the weapon he tried to find. The culprit went somewhere to Europe, according to the last footage I deduced inside the android’s head.”
Harry: “This is all Igarashi’s doing then. Calling Jumpdeath to wipe out the other clans so he could rule as one, but you did what you had to secure the citizens here.”
Lyra: “The highest form of betrayal. But this isn’t redemption for you. But since you're not that bad on my book, I’d like to call a truce. At least. Riley?”
Riley: "Uhh...no hun. I don't think so. I want a hug instead. If we had some girl time hanging out, that'd be much better in this creepy place."
Nakamura: “Redemption? Perhaps not. I’ve lost too much shots already....yet with a fair share of chances offered. But on the other hand—-Yes. We will call it truce for now. I do thank you for everything, and restoring trust and faith in us—-and the citizens here. But one day if you need us, we might help.”
Sam: “Depends if we need it again. I still have trust issues.”
Bronze Butcher: “He keeps his word. I’m sure we will. Now, go have your mission out there. The sword must be secure—-it is in Prague. I remember it now. If you can sweep it out through the obstacles, you are all worthy to be samurai. Do it for us, Paladin....we will meet again soon.”
Nakamura teleports away with his two accomplices away in a smoke. That was it. We were left a bit speechless, but we know what to do now. Harry gives me a trusting look, knowing we could find what was there. Edens and Kurt gaze at us with sure confirmation.
Riley: "Wait, that's it? Wow, so anticlimatic."
Lyra: "Hm. Well, you can hug me more till we end this."
Kieran: "Thanks to Erin, I guess all the dots line up. The story makes sense."
Harry: “We have the location of the sword. It’s time Igarashi has to pay for it.”
Connor: “You sure? In Prague?”
Kurt: “Hundred percent it is through analysis. I’m going to rendezvous point. Edens will keep backing the other guys up.”
Ty: “Where to now?”
Connor: “We keep running. To find more answers. The only plan is to keep stalling until the other team gets the sword back....”
Once they finished their call, I nod at the rest of the guys. We decide to leave immediately after making peace with the villagers nearby, with Nakamura’s message being addressed. At least they feel safe now.
But for once, I know I’ve done my part, even if it isn’t a lot, I will do whatever it takes to get a valuable weapon back...and restore it.
Welcome back folks! Now that you've picked up "Mallard River Dance" and the "autopilot flying mode", I think we are confident enough to learn the next exciting position which is crawling. Not a biggie if you try to control your breathing technique. Very well ... just like that!

LESSON 2: "the crawling mode"
Reversing after arriving at the harbour, one of my favourite ships stares at me , I love her colours , next time I see her dance I will make a video , always a joy to watch when she arrives.
Viking Princess
Viking Princess is a liquefied natural gas (LNG)-driven multipurpose offshore vessel owned by Eidesvik Supply and operated by Eidesvik. She was delivered in September 2012 and is the sister ship to Viking Prince, which started sailing in March 2012.
Norwegian shipbuilder Kleven Maritime won a $77.28m (NOK440m) contract by Eidesvik back in July 2010 to build the two sister ships. The keel of the second vessel, Viking Princess, was laid in October 2011 in Kleven Maritime's yard at Ulsteinvik, Ulstein, Norway. The vessel's hull was launched in April 2012.
Viking Princess was officially christened by Mette-Marit, the Crown Princess of Norway, on 14 September 2012 in Bergen, Hordaland, Norway.
Features of the Viking Princess platform supply vessel
Viking Princess was officially christened by Mette-Marit, the Crown Princess of Norway, on 14 September 2012 in Bergen, Hordaland, Norway.
The vessel is of VS 489 Gas PSV design developed by Wärtsilä Ship Design and is built to DNV class 1A1 ICE-C Supply Vessel, Standby Vessel(S), Oil Rec, Gas Fuelled, and other notations.
Prominent features of the vessel include fuel economy, low emissions, large cargo capacity, oil recovery equipment and capacity for standby. Winterisation and de-icing solutions make her suitable for operations in ice and cold environments.
The vessel's dual fuel engines allow her to operate on gas as well as heavy fuel oil (HFO) and marine diesel oil (MDO). It is only during LNG bunkering that the vessel uses diesel. The use of LNG will reduce NOx and CO2 emissions by 85% and 25% respectively.
Viking Princess has a gross tonnage of 5,014t and a dead weight of 5,800t. Her overall length, moulded breadth and summer draught are 89.6m, 21m and 7.6m respectively. Length between perpendiculars is 79.2m, while depth to main deck is 9.6m. Cargo deck area of the vessel is 1,050m2 and the height of the cargo rail is 4m.
Accommodation and facilities onboard the Viking Princess
The PSV can provide permanent accommodation for a total of 28 persons. It has four cabin states, 12 one-man cabins and six two-man cabins. All of them are provided with toilet and shower facilities.
Facilities on-board include a no-smokers room, smokers room, laundry and gymnasium. The vessel also has an office and a hospital.
Tank storage capacity and discharge rates
Storage capacities of tanks onboard the Viking Princess are 823m3 of fuel oil, 1,036m3 of fresh water, 1,781m3 of drill water/ballast, 1,392m3 of liquid mud, 210m3 of methanol, 300m3 of dry bulk, 1,667m3 of brine and 243m3 of base oil. The LNG tank can store 233m3.

The discharge rate of fuel oil, fresh water, drill water/ballast and base oil is 150m3/hr per pump. Liquid mud and base oil can be discharged at the rate of 100m3/hr per pump, while methanol and special products can be discharged at the rate of 75m3/hr per pump.
Tank washing is done with hot and cold water. Tanks containing mud, brine and base oil are washed with chemical blended water. All types of liquid cargo on-board the vessel are handled by separate pumps and piping system.
Viking Princess deck equipment
Viking Princess is fitted with two Adria tugger winches and two Adria mooring winches. An Adria anchor / mooring winch is installed forward. There are also two harbour mobile cranes (HMCs), each of which can lift 5t at a 15m outreach.
Viking Princess manoeuvring, navigation and communication systems
The PSV is provided with an integrated manoeuvring, dynamic positioning (DP) and vessel management system. Kongsberg has supplied its K-POS DP-22 DP system and K-Master manoeuvring system for the vessel. Wärtsilä Automation supplied the vessel management system comprising cargo handling and alarm.
The PSV can provide permanent accommodation for a total of 28 persons.
Navigation solution includes three gyrocompasses and an autopilot from Anschutz, two marine radars (3cm and 10cm) with automatic radar plotting aid (ARPA) capability, an FA-150 automatic identification system (AIS), an electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) and a FE-700 echo sounder. It also includes a DS-80 Doppler log and NX - 700B Navigational Telex (Navtex) from Furuno, a Taiyo VHF direction finder and Gill Ultrasonic wind sensor.
For communication, the vessel is supplied with Furuno, Motorola and Thon-made UHF/VHF stationary and portable radio telephones. These include MF/HF. FS-1570 radio plants, two FM-8800S VHF all-in-one marine VHF radio telephones, three FM-2721 VHF radio telephones, three GM-360 mobile radios, a Thon TR 20 portable radio phone, a GP340 VHF portable radio, and a GM380 stationary radio.
Other notable communication instruments include two Sea Tel 6009 VSAT antennae, two Furuno Felcom 15 InMarSat-Cs with GMDSS compatibility, a Tron 40 S and a Tron 45 SX emergency position indicating radio beacons (EPIRBs), and two Tron SART radar transponders.
Viking Princess machinery and propulsion
Viking Princess is equipped with Wärtsilä's gas electric propulsion system featuring the low loss voncept (LLC). Instead of four main engines, the vessel is outfitted with two large and two small dual-fuel engines. The larger ones are six-cylinder in-line 34DF engines, each rated at 2,610kW. The smaller ones are six-cylinder 20DF engines, each rated at 1,056kW. Each of them is driven by Alconza main generators (2 x 2,510kW and 2 x1,014kW).

TITLE OF PAINTING:
DRIFTING ON AUTOPILOT
APPROXIMATE SIZE: 8.5 x 11 Inches
MEDIA: Acrylics, Ink, Pencil on Altered Paper.
DATE: January 2019
*Signed/Dated/Titled by Justin Aerni on The Back For Authenticity.
Given all the talk of automotive semiconductor shortages, I was curious to investigate the Tesla Autopilot module to which we have trusted our lives these past years. Here is a peek into the Model 3 HW2.5 module, from VIN0005.
What we found: A magic box with liquid cooling tubes dripping a blue fluid. Inside are two circuit boards with thermal paste (grey and pink) connecting the processors on each board to the metal cooling plate that runs through the center.
Tesla designed a custom liquid-cooled dual-computing platform with the Autopilot ECU and Infotainment MCU on two boards in the same module.
There are two Nvidia Parker SoCs, one Nvidia Pascal GPU and one Infineon TriCore CPU. The autopilot ECU board has 4,681 components. It also has an Intel Atom processor, NXP and Infineon for the microcontrollers, Micron Technology, Samsung and SK Hynix memory and STMicroelectronics audio amplifiers.
For the circuit boards, I’ll add descriptions of major parts, and feel free to add more part IDs to them.
Top Board: Autopilot ECU with 4,681 components (mostly surface mount capacitors and resistors)
•Upper left in White: U-Blox ADR Navigation chip with GNSS and sensors.
•3 Big Silver squares: The NVIDIA chip package (2 Parker SoCs on left + 1 Pascal GPU to right). The Infineon TriCore CPU is near the top right corner of the GPU.
•Colored connectors on left, starting from the top: GPS RF, BackupCam, SelfieCam, Main Cam, Repeaters, B-Pillar Cams, Front Cams, Video Out
Bottom Board: Infotainment MCU (faces away from heat sink)
•The big white chip on the cellular daughter card on the bottom is the Telit LE940B6-NA chip for 300MBps LTE connectivity. The SIM card is on the backside.
•The big silver caps and inductor on the right are part of the audio amp
• I see six debug ports (jumper, USB) that may just be just the early units (+5 more JTAG ports on backside of the NVIDIA board)
