cóż małe rozczarowanie jak to zwykle w życiu bywa, w filmie był nastrój magia, na żywo gdzieś mi to wszystko umknęło. Nie ten czas, nie ta chwila.

Glienicke Bridge was a legendary theatre during the Cold War. The USA and the Soviet Union exchanged spies here.
The most charming landscape in the already very green Berlin is located in the far south-west of the city - where Berlin and the Brandenburg capital of Potsdam meet. This is where the Glienicke Bridge is located. It connects Berlin and Potsdam and was a legendary theatre during the Cold War. The USA and the Soviet Union exchanged spies across the bridge. Today, the bridge is an unspectacular connection to Potsdam, but offers a beautiful view over the enchanting Havel landscape.
Mediterranean flair: Glienicke Palace
The Prussian rulers, who cultivated the banks of the Havel into a park around Klein-Glienicke Palace, recognised its picturesque quality. Just before the bridge, the first horticultural work by Peter Joseph Lenné (1816) can be admired on Königstraße. Prince Carl of Prussia had the existing buildings artistically remodelled and given a Mediterranean design by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Ludwig Persius and Ferdinand v. Arnim in 1824-60. The lion fountain in front of the palace, modelled on the Villa Medici in Rome, is well worth seeing.
Die Glienicker Brücke war legendärer Schauplatz im Kalten Krieg. Hier tauschten die USA und die Sowjetunion Spione aus.
Die reizvollste Landschaft im ohnehin sehr grünen Berlin liegt im äußersten Südwesten der Stadt - dort, wo Berlin und die brandenburgische Hauptstadt Potsdam aufeinander treffen. Hier befindet sich die Glienicker Brücke. Sie verbindet Berlin und Potsdam und war legendärer Schauplatz während des Kalten Krieges. Über die Brücke tauschten die USA und die Sowjetunion Spione aus. Heute ist die Brücke eine unspektakuläre Verbindung nach Potsdam, hat jedoch einen sehr schönen Blick über die zauberhafte Havellandschaft zu bieten.
Mediterranes Flair: Schloss Glienicke
Die malerische Qualität erkannten schon die preußischen Herrscher, die das Havelufer zum Park rund um das Schloss Klein-Glienicke kultivierten. Kurz vor der Brücke ist an der Königstraße die erste Gartenbauarbeit von Peter Joseph Lenné (1816) zu bewundern. Die existierenden Gebäude ließ Prinz Carl von Preußen 1824–60 durch Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Ludwig Persius und Ferdinand v. Arnim kunstvoll umbauen und mediterran gestalten. Sehenswert ist die Löwenfontäne vor dem Schloss nach Vorbild in der Villa Medici in Rom.
There have been 2 changes made to the latest installment of what has to be my favorite tank. The first change is the side skirts. Instead of using that piece that leaves a spacing in between the hull and the skirts(I’m not very good with terminology and part names) I used some other kinda technique which y’all will see when I do the breakdown for the hull although for some of y’all it might seem obvious. The second is the back of the tank. In my recent pursuit to beautify the butts of my builds I have rebuilt the back of the tank, making it match the rear of the mark 1 hull. Anyway, hope y’all like it!

A purposefully ominous shot taken at the abandoned Nike missile site in Lorton, Va just a few miles from our home. Here's what the historical marker has to say about this place:
"Located north of here was one of three Nike anti-aircraft missile complexes in Fairfax County operated by the U. S. Army and the Army National Guard between 1954 and 1974. The sites were established during the Cold War to defend Washington from Soviet air attack. This complex, along with those at Great Falls and Fairfax, was among thirteen Nike sites that surrounded Washington and Baltimore. The ring of Nike sites was reminiscent of the perimeter of forts that had protected the capital during the Civil War. This was the only Nike complex in Fairfax County containing missiles armed with nuclear warheads. It served as a model site for visits by foreign dignitaries."
Thankfully those missiles were never used.
The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-19S, a Soviet supersonic jet fighter, played a pivotal role during the Cold War. Introduced in the 1950s, it featured a top speed of approximately 1,450 mph, armed with three 30mm cannons and air-to-air missiles. Its agility and swept-wing design contributed to its prominence in various air forces worldwide.
MiG-15UTI “RED 18”
This aircraft is a Polish-built SB Lim-2 (MiG-15UTI), produced by WSK-Mielec in 1952. The aircraft is operated by the Norwegian Air Force Historical Squadron as a representative of the Cold War ‘enemy’.
Following its Polish Air Force service ending in 1990, the aircraft was exported to the USA, and based at Quillayute Airport just outside Forks, Washington. It was again returned to Europe in the summer of 2014. Experienced ex. Polish Air Force MiG-15 engineers carried out the maintenance of the aircraft.
Given the shared border between north-eastern Norway and Russia, and the many encounters between Royal Norwegian Air Force and Soviet aircraft during the Cold War, the Polish MiG is an appropriate addition to the Norwegian Air Force Historical Squadron.
The aircraft is painted and marked as “RED 18” to represent Russian-Soviet pilot and cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin’s MiG-15. He was the first human to journey into outer space in 1961. Before his cosmonaut training Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin was stationed close to the Norwegian boarder and only 40 km from the Norwegian city of Kirkenes as a fighter pilot flying the MiG-15.

A great topside pass by a beautiful MiG-21UM LanceR B at the Open Day held at 'Baza 71 Aeriană General Emanoil Ionescu, Câmpia Turzii'. Note the cool looking pilots with their Elbit Systems DASH (Display And Sight Helmet), one of the first helmet display and queing systems ever implemented by a NATO country (2001).

I saw this card at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford. It still carries great meaning in today's political climate.

It was about time for a fast jet after so many props on my photostream, don't you think?
