Atlanticwall Regelbau S75 & S80 - 38 cm S.K.C/34 Naval Gun - The Adolf Gun Bunker.
S75 is the ammunition depot of the Bunker and
The S80 is the for machine room and room for crew.
The 38 cm SK C/34 naval gun was developed by Germany mid to late 1930s. It armed the Bismarck-class battleships and was planned as the armament of the O-class battlecruisers and the re-armed Scharnhorst-class battleships. Six twin-gun mountings were also sold to the Soviet Union and it was planned to use them on the Kronshtadt-class battlecruisers, however they were never delivered. Spare guns were used as coastal artillery in Denmark, Norway and France. One gun is currently on display at Møvig Fortress outside Kristiansand.
Ammunition
It used the standard German naval system of ammunition where the base charge was held in a metallic cartridge case and supplemented by another charge in a silk bag. Both cartridges were rammed together.
Propellant charge
Main charge: 38 cm HuelsKart34 – GefLdG – 108 kg (238 lb) RPC 38 (16/7)
Fore charge: 38 cm VorKart34 – GefLdG – 104 kg (229 lb) RPC 38 (16/7)
Shell
Four types of shells were used by the 38 cm SK C/34 although the Siegfried-Granate could only be used by the coast defense versions. Almost 40 percent lighter, this latter shell could be fired with a reduced charge at 920 metres per second (3,000 ft/s) out to 40 kilometres (44,000 yd). With a full charge it reached 1,050 metres per second (3,400 ft/s) and could travel 55.7 kilometres (60,900 yd) – over 34 miles.
Naval gun
The data given is according to Krupp datasheet 38 cm S.K.C/34 e WA52-453(e). This gun was mounted in pairs in the Drh.L. C/34e turret which allowed elevation from -5° 30' to +30°. Each gun had an individual cradle, spaced 3.5 metres (11 ft) apart, but they were normally coupled together. In general the turret was hydraulically powered, but the training gear, auxiliary elevation, auxiliary hoists and some loading gear was electrically powered. The turrets weighed 1,048 tonnes (1,031 long tons; 1,155 short tons) to 1,056 tonnes (1,039 long tons; 1,164 short tons), rested on ball bearings on a 8.75 metres (28.7 ft) diameter track, could elevate 6° per second and traverse 5.4° per second. The guns were loaded at +2.5° and used a telescoping chain-operated rammer. According to German manuals the required permanent capacity for the loading equipment for ammunition was 2.5 shells per minute. During testing period at the Baltic Sea the AVKS Report states an output of the ammunition delivery system up to 3.125 shells per minute. Under battle conditions Bismarck averaged roughly one round per minute in her battle with HMS Hood and Prince of Wales.
These guns were modified with a larger chamber for coast defense duties to handle the increased amount of propellant used for the special long-range Siegfried shells. Gander and Chamberlain quote a weight of 105.3 tonnes (103.6 long tons; 116.1 short tons) for these guns, presumably accounting for the extra volume of the enlarged chamber. An armored single mount, the Bettungsschiessgerüst ("Firing platform") C/39 was used by these guns. It had a maximum elevation of 60° and could traverse up to 360°, depending on the emplacement. The C/39 mount had two compartments; the upper housed the guns and their loading equipment, while the lower contained the ammunition hoists, their motors, and the elevation and traverse motors. The mount was fully powered and had an underground magazine. Normally these were placed in open concrete barbettes, relying on their armor, but Hitler thought that there was not enough protection for the guns of Battery Todt emplaced on Cap-Gris-Nez in the Pas de Calais near Wimereux and ordered a concrete casemate 3.5 m (11 ft) thick built over and around the mounts. This had the unfortunate effect of limiting their traverse to 120°. Other C/39 mounts were installed at the Hanstholm fortress in Denmark, and the Vara fortress in Kristiansand, Norway.
Four Drh LC/34 turrets, three of which were originally intended to re-arm the Gneisenau and one completed to the Soviet order, modified for land service, were planned to be emplaced at Paimpol, Brittany and on the Cap de la Hague on the Cotentin Peninsula, but construction never actually began. Construction for two of those turrets was well underway at Blaavand-Oksby, Denmark when the war ended.
how is a Regelbau
Before and during World War II, the Wehrmacht built several standardised bunkers and weapon positions in Germany and German-occupied countries. These buildings were called Regelbau, i.e. standardised buildings.
The Regelbau (German for "standard design") were a series of standardised bunker designs built in large numbers by the Germans in the Siegfried Line (German: Westwall) and the Atlantic Wall as part of their defensive fortifications prior to and during the Second World War.

After withdrawal by West Midlands Travel, Leyland National 1502 found further use with 'Channel 6', a company based at Mill Farm, Pendeford in Wolverhampton.
Channel 6 provided on-location services for film and TV crews, using former buses converted for various purposes connected with the industry.
In 1999, the company operated three ex West Midlands buses, the other two being sister Leyland National 1509 (TOE509N), and Leyland Fleetline 6648 (SDA648S). They also used an ex Wallace Arnold, Plaxton bodied Bedford YRQ, JWX94N.
The ex WM buses served different functions, 1502 as a make-up bus, 1509 as a costume/wardrobe bus and 6648, along with JWX94N as canteen/hospitality vehicles.
I don't know how long they lasted with Channel 6, or indeed how long 'Channel 6 Film & Television Transport Facilities Ltd' lasted?
Photo - 6th November 1999.
These ridges and channels are in a light-toned unit near Nirgal Vallis. The ridges are very well exposed at this location. The unit contains inverted craters, which are uncommon. This is plausibly a water-altered ash deposit emanating from the fissure to the northeast.

Modeling the classic 45surf t-shirts and the Gold 45 Revolver Gold'N'Virtue Bikini on a sunny Malibu summer afternoon--my favorite for shooting on the beautiful socal beach!
Modeling the black & gold "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:
herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!
May the Hero's Journey Mythology Goddess inspire you (as they have inspired me!) along your own artistic journey! Love, love, love the 70-200mm F/2.8 Lens! :)

May the classic California HJM Goddesses guide, inspire, and exalt ye along yer heroic artistic journey!
A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.
Channeled Scablands in Eastern Washington state. Photographed with a Zenza Bronica ETRSi with a PE 50mm f/2.8 lens using expired Kodak Aerochrome Infrared film. I used a Yellow filter with this film.
There is no escape from the system.
In August I had a blood test and it showed I had diabetes.
I have taken this seriously, and gone to the gym now four times a week, and have reduced my blood sugars by 13 points.
But being diabetic means being added to many databases and tests in the NHS, one being eye tests.
So, I had my first one this morning, early enough so that Jools couldn't finish her class, get back home and take me to the health centre before nine.
So, after a lay in to nearly seven, I had time to get dressed and sup my coffee before we had to leave home just after eight.
Jools dropped me off at the layby at Burgoyne Heights, the sun had just risen, and was about to break over the low cloud covering the French coast.
My main aim was to snap the castle at sunrise, bathed in warm light, but as the sun rises south east, the sun just caught the battlements and keep on the left hand side.
Traffic was heavy heading into town, but I had an hour, so walked down the hill, getting closer shots of the Lock and Key of the Kingdom.
I cross the road, then take the steep hill down Connaught Hill, past the water cistern to the overgrown path leading down towards Buckland.
Further down the path opened up to a path, with a fine wall on the left hand side, with a satisfying brick pattern mixed in with the flint, and showing how steep the path was.
Into the houses that rise up from Maison Dieu Road, with parents taking their children to school this last week before Christmas.
I arrive at the health centre, but have half an hour to kill, so sit on a bench near the bowling green and listen to a podcast, chilly in the frosty morning air. But clear blue skies above and warm sunshine over my shoulder.
Time came to go in, and I sat in an oversize armchair until I was called. The nurse put drops in each eye to open my iris, then wait fifteen minutes for the opening to take place.
I was taken back in, two photographs of my retina, and that was it.
Jools was in the main hall with her keep fit colleagues, so I joined them in a cuppa and a scone.
We chatted about things for half an hour, then Jools and I walked back to the car.
The drops made the bright sunshine overbright, and it hurt to look at the sunlit buildings and trees, So, Jools drove us back home, as it was unsafe for me to drive.
And once home I sat on the sofa for two hours with my eyes closed listening to podcasts until the drops wore off.
This is a resting place on water for people picknicking but this day its too hot. Everyone is at home taking a siesta I guess. Even the ducks and mallards seem to be lazy this day.
Its 31C right now on Ekerö and I just read on Internet (www.wunderground.com) that Malmö in southern Sweden has 35C (95 in Fahrenheit)!!

This is HMS Nottingham (D91), a Batch 2 Type 42 destroyer of the Royal Navy, in the English Channel. She is seen conducting manoeuvres during the 1986 Staff College Sea Days. Having been passed by several warships, each providing a commentary on her capabilities, weapons and equipment to the students on the upper deck, she is turning sharply under the stern of the last in line, HMS Boxer, and accelerating off to the next evolution. The combination of an application of power to the propellers and a hard "left hand down a bit" is producing the heel as she begins crossing our wake.
Launched on 18 February 1980, and commissioned on 8 April 1983, she was the sixth ship to bear the name. "The Notty" was the last of the short Type 42s and suffered from the usual stressing of the flexible joint amidships (but structural strengthening was not fitted at the time of this photo).
She was eventually decommissioned in February 2010 and sent to Turkey for scrapping in 2011.
Rock Buckwheat is springtime for me. It feels strange not knowing when it blooms or when it dies. I think I should know this.
Sure, I know it blooms, say, late Aprilish, depending upon a few things. But when it goes to seed (does it go to seed?), I don't know.
I should spend more time out there.

Falling in love with the full frame 36 megapixel e mount Sony A7R!
The books behind the pretty goddess on the Malibu beach hut and surfboard are The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon, Homer's Iliad, Homer's Odyssey, Shakespeare, and Herman Melville's Moby Dick! My favorite books! Will have some video of the pretty model reading them beside a campfire soon.
They're all collectors editions! My books cost as much as my surfboards!
And for those who always ask, I shoot in RAW! Always! :)
