ISIS, meet the C-Men: Scotland Yard shows off the first of 600 awesomely armed (and masked) Counter-Terrorism firearms officers who hit the streets today in vans, boats and MOTORBIKES
Heavily armed new police patrols have been deployed on the streets of London today after a wave of terror attacks in Europe.
Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe unveiled the plan to put more highly visible patrols, armed to the teeth with pistols and semi-automatic SIG Carbine rifles, at major landmarks as a deterrent to potential attackers.
As well as guns, the new generation of armed officers also have BMW F800GS motorbikes to allow them to scramble to an incident anywhere in the capital and speed boats so they can deploy from the Thames.
The new officers are masked in order to protect their identity from attackers, which can help in a variety of different circumstances - from hostage situations, targeted attacks to kidnap attempts. The masks provide an extra layer of safety for counter-terrorism officers as they carry out their various specialist tasks.
But today's announcement - dubbed Operation Hercules by the Met - came against a backdrop of warnings from the Police Federation that it will take two years to deliver a promised increase of 1,500 in the trained-strength of armed officers across the country.
Of the new officers, 600 will be based in London and today's announcement revealed the first cohort to be trained.
More British police officers are carrying guns after a spate of attacks on the continent, including the Bastille Day massacre in Nice and the murder of a priest in a Normandy Church last week. The expanded firearms units were promised after the Paris attacks last November.
ir Bernard said the additional armed officers were the first cohort from a planned group of 600 due to be trained to carry firearms - with 1,500 due to be trained across the country.
Speaking in Hyde Park, Sir Bernard said: 'People aren't fools - they know that in the event that there is a firearms attack, we are going to have to respond with firearms.
'They pass through airports where we have armed officers, they pass through railway stations where they see firearms.
'In some of our big iconic locations, we've already got armed patrols - if you look at Parliament, Downing Street - so it's not entirely new.
'I think people understand that where you are going to have people as enemies who've got guns, we've got to have guns.
'It's unusual, but it's an entirely rational and reasonable response to make sure that people are aware that we've got the guns, and if we have to use them we've got people well-equipped to do that.'
The Counter Terrorism Specialist Firearms Officers - dubbed C-men - can deploy by road, river or air in the event of an emergency.
NINE WEEKS OF TRAINING TO CARRY A GUN
Firearms officers in the Metropolitan Police go through a rigorous selection and training process before they are allowed on to the streets with a gun.
They have to pass a selection process in their local area, then one in the force's firearms department, before being put through an initial assessment.
A nine-week training course follows, and upon successful completion the officer will be ready to carry a handgun, larger semi-automatic weapon and Taser.
Firearms officers are deployed in teams of three in armed response vehicles, which also carry less lethal weapons such as shotguns that can be used, for example, for dangerous animals.
Marksmen who want to specialise in counter-terrorism will spend a significant period of time as part of a routine firearms team, before additional training of at least three months.
The elite squads, which now cover the capital 24 hours a day, are trained to operate in a range of environments including on water, abseiling and on motorbikes.
In the event of terrorist gunmen staging a mass shooting, the officers are trained to go forward to confront the attackers and stop them.
This may mean having to leave casualties behind, potentially including their colleagues.
NEW POLICE TERROR OFFICERS GIVEN ADVENTURE BMW BIKES FOR MOUNTING CURBS AND DRIVING OFF-ROAD TO BEAT LONDON'S GRIDLOCKS
The new generation of armed officers in London have been given top of the range adventure motorbikes to allow them to scramble to an incident anywhere in the capital.
The new generation officers won't need training for the grey BMW F800GS motorbikes as they will ride passenger, with colleagues from the British Transport Police driving the vehicle.
The motorbikes boast long suspensions and high ground clearance to make it easier to mount curbs and drive off-road.
F800GS bikes are powered by 798cc 4-stroke twin cylinder engines that develop 85 horse power and a top speed of 140mph.
One officer said the new bikes would allow terror police to ride off road to get around congestion on London's roads.
'Traffic can be gridlocked at the best of times - certainly in the times of an attack,' the officer told Sky News. 'If you look at Europe, at Paris and Belgium, traffic becomes a major impingement on a rapid response.
'We've looked at tactics and pillion riding with motorcycles gives us a very fast and effective response.
'The guys practice riding off road so they can bump up and down across pavements and make really good progress from A to B.'

オートマチックは自動巻の国産初号機です。1955年から58年まで亀戸工場で製造されました。欧米から遅れること約30年です。
しかしながら、亀戸工場ではこの後63年にスポーツマチックカレンダー860が製造されるまで自動巻が製造されません。不思議ですよね。手巻きと自動巻とで諏訪工場との住み分けがなされていたのではないかとの推測がトンボ本にあります。特にその間の事情について資料がありません。
私はこう考えます。1955年、戦後10年、スーパー製造開始から5年。ようやく国産腕時計を作る技術が集結され未来が見えてきたので、次の段階である自動巻に果敢に挑戦した。それがこのオートマチックです。しかし、工場で大量生産する腕時計製造にはジグと呼ばれる型が大量に必要になるところ、このオートマチックには基盤となるモデルがないため一から作らざるを得なかった。そのためコストがかかり、販売価格がとても高価なものにならざるを得なくなった。しかもそこから更なる改良に努めるよりもまずは手巻き時計の技術を確立することが先決だったのです。なのでオートマチックの後継はありません。格好いいのに・・・
まずはスーパーから先のマーベルやクロノス、クラウンを開発して行く道を歩んだのです。そして、諏訪工場ではマーベルから自動巻のジャイロマーベル、クラウン、ライナーから自動巻のセイコーマチックが生まれていくのです。
そして亀戸工場ではクロノスからキングセイコーです。自動巻はその後です。婦人ものや懐中時計を手掛けた亀戸工場では紳士用腕時計の開発にかける人員が諏訪工場に比べて少なかった。そういうことではないでしょうか。両社で製造されたモデル数が全然違います。
むしろ、ベースとなる機械を作るという意味では、クロノスを開発したことが亀戸工場の全てともいえるのではないでしょうか。少し言いすぎですが、そう考えると分かりやすいです。

The 10 units of the 112 tons ÖBB class 1064 are Austria's heaviest and only six axles locomotives in service. They work at the shunting humps of the two major freight yards at "Vienna Kledering" and "Villach South" and are equipped with a type "RK 900" Automatic coupler, that can also be radio-controlled by the yard tower ...

Had to go on a trip down to near Peterborough on Sunday. On Monday morning had a stroll round the town of Stamford, where there are a great many old, yellow sandstone buildings.
I found this old vending machine set into the wall of one of those buildings; glad they kept this in situ.

In the midst of conversation I had Juliet pose over a pool light and captured her soul in this raw, gypsy like moment. I can almost taste the cigarette and see the emotion in her eyes. This is my favorite lighting shot I've ever done.
A Werra Matic with the 35mm f2.8 lens fitted and the 50mm f2.8 and 100mm f4 lenses along side.
----------
A while back I bought on eBay a complete Carl Zeiss Jena Werra outfit consisting of a Werra III rangefinder camera together with a complete set of 35mm, 50mm and 100mm lenses, all in a beautiful set of cases. The only problem was that the camera itself didn't work. Rather than send it back I decided to keep it as a complete outfit like this isn't something you see very often, and I thought that buying a replacement camera wouldn't take long or be very expensive.
Well it took me longer than I thought to find a really nice Werra camera to allow me to actually try out these lenses, but I have finally found one!
My original camera was a 'flat-top' Werra from the original series of cameras. I've always thought these original cameras are the purest of the Werras, and the III is most minimal of all without the light meter to sploil the top plate.
This Werra Matic is from the last series of camera. Not only does it have the slightly fussy striped details on the front, it also had an accessory shoe and the various windows for the light meter. But it is still a very attractive camera.
By modern standards these Werras are rather fiddly and fussy cameras to operate, but all Werras have some thoughful and very unusual design touches. The most famous one is the wind-on mechanism: see that wide band around the base of the lens? A quick twist of this band with advance the film and automatically cock the shutter ready for the next shot.
Almost as famous is the combined lens cap and lens hood which cover up all the dials when the camera is put into storage/carry mode.
The Werra Matic is the most advanced of all the Werras. It has a cross coupled light meter with a read out in the viewfinder. And a clever mirror in the viewfinder reflects a view of both the shutter speed and aperture setting into the viewfinder. Like all interchangeable lens Werras the viewfinder also features frame lines for the 50mm and 100mm lenses (with the whole viewfinder serving the 35mm lens).
I particularly like the range finder on these Werras... it is very bright and clear and easy to use.
