Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21PFM, 47 RED, NATO codename Fishbed, captured on the outside display area of the Nationaal Militair Museum, Soesterberg, The Netherlands.
The Dunkirk evacuation, codenamed Operation Dynamo and also known as the Miracle of Dunkirk, or just Dunkirk, was the evacuation of Allied soldiers during World War II from the beaches and harbour of Dunkirk, in the north of France, between 26 May and 4 June 1940. The operation commenced after large numbers of Belgian, British, and French troops were cut off and surrounded by German troops during the six-week Battle of France. In a speech to the House of Commons, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill called this "a colossal military disaster", saying "the whole root and core and brain of the British Army" had been stranded at Dunkirk and seemed about to perish or be captured. In his "We shall fight on the beaches" speech on 4 June, he hailed their rescue as a "miracle of deliverance".
On the first day only 7,669 Allied soldiers were evacuated, but by the end of the eighth day, 338,226 had been rescued by a hastily assembled fleet of over 800 vessels. Many troops were able to embark from the harbour's protective mole onto 39 British Royal Navy destroyers, four Royal Canadian Navy destroyers, at least three French Navy destroyers, and a variety of civilian merchant ships. Others had to wade out from the beaches, waiting for hours in shoulder-deep water. Some were ferried to the larger ships by what became known as the Little Ships of Dunkirk, a flotilla of hundreds of merchant marine boats, fishing boats, pleasure craft, yachts, and lifeboats called into service from Britain. The BEF lost 68,000 soldiers during the French campaign and had to abandon nearly all of its tanks, vehicles, and equipment. In his 4 June speech, Churchill also reminded the country that "we must be very careful not to assign to this deliverance the attributes of a victory. Wars are not won by evacuations." wik

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 fighter was a formidable foe when the aircraft, first flown in 1977, initially appeared. This tactical fighter, codenamed 'Fulcrum' by NATO, was rugged yet very agile, and would have been more than a match for its Western opponents in the latter years of the Cold War. The Polish Air Force solo MiG-29 comes from one of two squadrons - the 41st Tactical Squadron based at Malbork, or the 1st Tactical Squadron based at Mińsk Mazowiecki. Together, these units operate a total of 28 single-seat MiG-29As and eight two-seat MiG-29UBs.
For many years, the Čerchov (German: Schwarzkopf) was used for military purposes:
After its use by the Wehrmacht in the Second World War the summit was intensively used by the Warsaw Pact until the 1990s as a surveillance station and was placed out of bounds to the public. A tower was built in 1987 by the Czechoslovak Army, which is used today for flight safety purposes and is not accessible. The corresponding NATO communication station was located on the Hoher Bogen about 20 km away to the southeast. Other surveillance posts were sited inter alia on the Velký Zvon (German: Plattenberg, with a tower of very similar design built in 1978 and which had line-of-sight to the Čerchov site) and the Dyleň. As well as the Soviet Army the site was also used by Hauptabteilung III of the East German Stasi as a listening post (codenamed RUBIN). Following the opening of the border and reunification of Germany the listening posts were closed. Unfortunately, there is no plan to use or refurbish these ruins ....

The ultimate street McLaren, the successor of the P1, the 2018 Senna, named for the late track magician, Brazilian Ayrton Senna who, with the McLaren Formula One Team between 1988 and 1993 Formula 1 seasons. Senna won three Formula One World Drivers' Championship titles and thirty-five Formula One Grand Prix race wins with the team;[10] McLaren also won four consecutive Formula One World Constructor's Championship titles with Senna as part of their driver line-up. who is widely regarded as one of the greatest Formula One drivers of all time.] He died in an accident while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix whilst driving for Williams Racing. Senna is widely considered one of the very greatest road racers of all time.
Flaunting it's wide spread use of the very strong and very light carbon fiber, the Senna is largely based on the McLaren 720S, using a modified version of its carbon fibre monocoque and engine. The Senna is powered by a modified version of the McLaren 720S' 3,994 cc (4.0 L; 243.7 cu in) twin-turbocharged V8 engine codenamed the M840TR. It utilises a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that delivers all 789 hp at 7,250 rpm and 590 lb⋅ft of torque at 5,500 rpm to the rear wheels, and with it's amazing aerodynamics, it is very sticky around corners. With a production run of just 500 units, all of which are already sold.
The McLaren Senna is listed at the price of £750,000 with the final car auctioned at a price of £1,916,793. There is also a 50 car run of a track only version, which, not surprisingly, is lighter, quicker and stickier.

So, we have to act like people we aren't after sabotaging and dumping them into space.
Sounds easy.
But I got a feeling it ain't gonna be.
So command said we were too pretty in uniform, so they make us look like some low down scum.
At least we get codenames. Sabre was outfitted as a pilot and was called Wrath, while I'm a smuggler mercenary with some darn good armor, and my codename is Fury.
What a happy pair of lads, eh?
Anyways, as we boarded the ship, we could here blaster bolts and yells bounce off the corridors.
Hopefully that's a good thing.
We soon encountered a group of the Black Sun crew and I was able to get a potshot at one while the other took cover behind some crates.
He didn't last long.
Sabre activated the airlock and jettisoned them into space.
Fury: "Hey, you missed all the fun, where were you?
Wrath: "Enjoying myself in the back, you weren't looking."
Maybe this isn't as bad as I thought it'll be.
Find the hidden stun grenades. FM me of you did as to not spoil the surprise. :3
For the 253rd. God bless!

Operation Epsilon was the codename of a program in which Allied forces near the end of World War II detained ten German scientists who were thought to have worked on Nazi Germany's nuclear program. The scientists were captured between May 1 and June 30, 1945, as part of the Allied Alsos Mission, mainly as part of its Operation Big sweep through southwestern Germany.
They were interned at Farm Hall, a bugged house in Godmanchester, near Cambridge, England, from July 3, 1945, to January 3, 1946. The primary goal of the program was to determine how close Nazi Germany had been to constructing an atomic bomb by listening to their conversations.
Two Anonymous protestors in their Guy Fawkes masks (made famous in Alan Moore and David Lloyd's graphic novel, and later a film, V For Vendetta) on Middle Meadow Walk. I thought the two being back to back like that reminded me of the Classical two-faced deity, Janus.

Simone Segouin, mostly known by her codename, Nicole Minet, was only 18-years-old when the Germans invaded. Her first act of rebellion was to steal a bicycle from a German military administration, and to slice the tires of all of the other bikes and motorcycles so they couldn't pursue her. She found a pocket of the Resistance and joined the fight, using the stolen bike to deliver messages between Resistance groups.
She was an extremely fast learner and quickly became an expert at tactics and explosives. She led teams of Resistance fighters to capture German troops, set traps, and sabotage German equipment. As the war dragged on, her deeds escalated to derailing German trains, blocking roads, blowing up bridges and helping to create a German-free path to help the Allied forces retake France from the inside. She was never caught.
Segouin was present at the liberation of Chartres on August 23, 1944, and then the liberation of Paris two days later. She was promoted to lieutenant and awarded several medals, including the Croix de Guerre. After the war, she studied medicine and became a pediatric nurse. She is still going strong, and this October (2021) she will turn 96.

During the high tide of war, a blueprint of Project 7704 slipped into enemy hands. Codenamed The Chaos Machine, this hovertank sacrifices armor in favor of its frenzied speed and cunning agility. Plus, anything that wanders near its repulsion pads will be instantly minced by the high-velocity rotating blades.
About Jean Moulin:
The mural is a portrait of Jean Moulin (1899-1943), a member of the French Resistance and préfet in Eure-et-Loir, who was close to Général de Gaulle. His first act of resistance took place in Chartres, where he refused to accuse a group of Senagalese Tirailleurs of committing crimes, when he knew they were victims of the German bombings. Discharged from his duties by the Pétain government, he met De Gaulle in London who put him in charge of creating the National Council of Resistance in France. Under the codename 'Max', he was arrested in Caluire-Cuire on 21st June 1943 by the head of the Gestapo, Klaus Barbie, following an accusation. He was tortured before being sent by train to Germany to be subjected to further interrogations. He died in the train on 8th July 1943. A memorial can be seen in La Taye.

About the Artist:
James Cochran, aka Jimmy C was born in England and grew up in Australia. He played a key role in the development of the underground graffiti movement during the early 1990's, and after working on numerous mural commissions and community arts projects, went on to complete a Masters degree in Visual Arts at the University of South Australia with an interest in urban realist and figurative oil painting. His two interests in graffiti and oil painting converged, leading to the development of Cochran's signature aerosol pointillist style; portraits or urban landscapes painted entirely from dots and dashes of spray paint. This technique developed into what he called the 'drip paintings' and the 'scribble paintings', composed of layers of coloured drips or energetic lines to form vibrant and poetic cityscapes and portraits. Cochran now lives in London and his canvases and walls can be viewed in cities across the world.

Snake Eyes is NOT rolling a "1" on a six sided die.
Snake Eyes is NOT a mediocre Nick Cage movie.
Snake Eyes IS the GI Joe team's resident on call Commando/Ninja and arguably the most popular character in the whole flipp'in series, although it took Hasbro quite awhile to figure that out...but once they did...BAM! We've been inundated with more repaints and retoolings and new versions of the guy than you can shake a stick at ( Go ahead, try! The stick will bend backwards towards you without snapping like it was made of rubber and will repeatedly smack you in the face, I know , I've tried!). Only Cobra Commander and Duke (Blecht! Does anyone out there actually LIKE Duke? I don't!) rival him for most versions.
But why? Why is a mute guy who is so ugly he has to constantly wear a mask the most popular character in the series? Talk about an unlikely hero!
I could go on about how his facial scars make him an outsider, and how kids can relate to that, or how his muteness allowed kids more easily project themselves onto him, yakkety smakety, blah, blah, psychobabble!
We know the REAL reasons why we love Snake Eyes:
1) He looks cool and mysterious
2) Nobody kicks more ass per captia!
NOBODY!
3) Despite being disfigured, he gets to date the hottest girl on the Joe team.
Thus giving hope to Nerds everywhere!
This is not a vintage Snake Eyes, but is the closest thing I have to one. He's from a comic book 3 pack from several years ago. Aside from his waist, and his paintjob, he is exactly like the original.

Ever thought about this username ?
When I saw the 1967 James Bond Movie 'You Only Live Twice' for the first time, I was overwhelmed by the appearance of a gadget, which was the auto-gyrocopter WA-116 designed and build by Ken Wallis.
The used codename of the one, flown by James Bond and kitted out with horrible weapons, was 'Little Nellie'.
When I started with internet, looking for an unique nickname I rememberd this gyro and voila : littlenelly was born ...

The Escort Mk.II was launched in 1975, redesigned with a more square shaped body on the existing Escort underside and running gear. Built in Britain at Halewood and a number of other countries. Unlike the first Escort (which was developed by Ford of Britain), the second generation was developed jointly between the UK and Ford of Germany. Codenamed Brenda during its development, The car used a revised underbody, which had been introduced as a running change during the last six months production of the Mark I. Rear suspension still sat on leaf springs
The L and GL models (2-door, 4-door, estate) were in the mainstream private sector, the Sport the RS, Mexico and RS2000 in the performance market, the Ghia (2-door, 4-door) for a hitherto untapped small car luxury market, and base / Popular models for the bottom end.
A cosmetic update was given in 1978 with L models gaining the square headlights (previously exclusive to the GL and Ghia variants) and there was an upgrade in interior and exterior specification for some models. Underneath a wider front track was given.

Name: Jared Clemons
Codename: Therion
My name is Jared Clemons. My call-sign is Therion. The beast. The monster. It's what I've been forced to become in order to survive. The damn Urags....they turned me into this beast. A beast to fight the monsters. And damnit will I fight.
It's been three days since I've seen my last human. Saw him get gunned down right in front of me. Then I watched the life flee from his eyes as he died in my arms. Jared Clemons died with my brother. I became Therion when he died.
Now these damn Urags will know the beast. They will know my wrath. And I swear to my God and whatever gods they revere: they will know fear.
Re-vamped version of my contest entry. Now with a combat knife, a magnum revolver, and a gunmetal SMLE.
