RAF Davidstow Moor is a former WWII Coastal Command Royal Air Force station located 2.9 miles north east of Camelford, Cornwall and 11.5 miles west of Launceston, Cornwall, UK.
The station was operational from 1942 through to December 1945.
In the early 1950s the site was used as a motor racing circuit - Davidstow Circuit. Motor racing ended in the wake of the 1955 Le Mans Disaster.
Today some microlights still use the decaying runways and taxiways.

Special Operations Command Africa hosted its first Women’s Leadership Forum during International Women’s Day in N'Djamena, Chad, Mar. 7, 2017, as a part of Exercise Flintlock. This leadership discussion forum was led by Chadian women from across the spectrum of employment to address Chadian challenges and opportunities, and was facilitated by the U.S. Embassy and Spirit of America. Flintlock is an annual special operations exercise involving more than 20 nation forces that strengthens security institutions, promotes multinational sharing of information, and develops interoperability among partner nation in North and West Africa.
ORLANDO, Fla. - Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined their active duty and Reserve Officer Training Corps brothers and sisters in welcoming tens of thousands of spectators to the Florida Classic, one of the nation’s largest football rivalries between two historically black colleges: Bethune–Cookman University and Florida A&M University.
In the hours leading to the opening kickoff Nov. 19, 2016, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla., the Soldiers helped members from the Army Marketing Research Group encourage BCU and FAMU fans to test their strength, endurance and mental aptitude in various interactive activities featured at the Go Army booths. The troops motivated men and women from all walks of life to set personal records for planks, pullups and pushups. They also lent a hand in several creative challenges that emphasized teamwork and critical thinking.
Many of the thousands of fans who waited for their turn to don blindfolds, solve puzzles or perform pullups spoke with the troops about their training, experience and aspirations. While these casual conversations opened opportunities to introduce potential recruits to the Army’s robust enlisted and Reserve Officer Training Corps programs, they also fostered greater respect and understanding about the Army’s role in developing strong communities and mutually beneficial partnerships both at home and abroad.
The fans’ energy, enthusiasm and camaraderie also demonstrated that the Florida Classic and the U.S. Army share common values. Their sincere interest in learning about the Army’s vision, capabilities and career opportunities exemplified how rivalries on the gridiron can shape resilient individuals who possess the character qualities to lead and mentor men and women on the battlefield.
Several Soldiers received complimentary access to the field during the game. Army Master Sgt. Shantell D. Aviles, noncommissioned officer-in-charge, Office of the Inspector General, 143d ESC, watched many Florida Classic football games during her childhood and teenage years. Although she and her family were no strangers to seeing the game from the stands, Aviles had never before set foot on the sidelines. With a smile never left her face, she took full advantage of the exclusive press pass to take photos with the mascots, shake hands with the drum majors, and cheer her FAMU Rattlers from the endzone.

On March 6, 2017, FDNY launched its first ever tethered drone to respond to a fire in a 6-story building on Crotona Park North in the Bronx.
The $85,000 FDNY tethered drone weighs 8 pounds and incorporates both a high-definition camera and infrared camera. These capabilities allow the drone to transmit live images of a fire operation to the Chief in charge of the incident. The drone’s camera allows Chiefs at the command post to see where Firefighters are operating on the roof of a building and to make decisions to help suppress the fire and keep FDNY members safe. The image is fed directly to the Incident Commander and is also shared with senior decision makers in the Fire Department through the FDNY Operations Center.
"We deployed the drone for the first time in support of a 4th alarm fire in the Bronx,” says FDNY Director of FDNY Operations Center, Timothy Herlocker. “We were able to get a good view of the roof, which allowed the Incident Commander on the ground to view the Firefighters as they were conducting roof operations, venting the roof and putting water on the fire."
“This fire was helped by our drone, said Deputy Assistant Chief Dan Donoghue, the incident commander at the 4th alarm fire. “The roof started to fail and we had a lot of great radio reports but that’s only verbal, so with the drone we had good visual pictures and it really helped us make decisions to put this fire out and keep our members safe.”
The FDNY drone is tethered using a small cable that carries electricity up to the device, which gives the drone an unlimited flight time. The drone can stay aloft for as long as necessary to keep an aerial view on the target. All controls, data, and power transmit back and forth through the tether preventing interference with radio frequency signals. The drone is piloted by specially trained FDNY Firefighters from the Department’s Command Tactical Unit. The Department currently has three drones in its fleet to deploy as needed.
“This new technology is going to make a positive impact in our fire operations,” said Fire Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro. “The drone’s camera gives our Chiefs a view they never had before. It’s an important tool that will make our members, and the people we protect, even safer.”
FDNY works closely with the FAA to ensure the drone operates safely and adheres to all rules and policies regarding airspace in New York City. The Fire Department Operations Center contacts the FAA prior to flying the drone for permission to deploy at night, or into FAA Class B Air Space - the FAA’s most restricted air space. Approval takes approximately ten minutes and takes place while the drone and its operators are responding to a fire.
Hogg takes command of U.S. Army Africa
10 June 2010 - By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa Public Affairs
VICENZA, Italy – During a ceremony today at Caserma Ederle’s Hoekstra Field, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg assumed command of U.S. Army Africa.
Gen. William E. Ward, commanding general of U.S. Africa Command presided over the ceremony, which signaled the departure of outgoing commander, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III.
Hogg, who recently served as deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan, said he is delighted to become part of the Vicenza military community.
“After 29 years of service and six overseas assignments to include Germany, Panama and Belgium, this is our first opportunity to be in Italy,” Hogg said. “We are absolutely thrilled to be here.”
Hogg said he is excited to be a part of U.S. Army Africa, the Army's newest service component command, challenged with developing relationships with land forces in Africa and supporting U.S. Army efforts on the African continent.
Ward reminded the crowd that U.S. Army Africa has accomplished some great things since Dec. 2008, when it began its transformation to becoming the Army service component command for U.S. Africa Command.
“In that short time, the command has formed, grown, and matured into an active and effective outfit and has established strong strategic relationships with the ground forces in Africa,” Ward said. “U.S. Army Africa not only succeeded, they excelled. In fact, they thrived on the opportunities they were given.”
Garrett took command of the Southern European Task Force in 2008. He commanded SETAF throughout its transformation to U.S. Army Africa. Garrett now heads to Iraq, where he will serve as the chief of staff, U.S. Forces Iraq.
“We look forward to building upon the systems that Maj. Gen. Garrett and Mrs. Garrett have developed,” Hogg said. “We are truly thankful for the warm welcome that we have received from the community and, especially, the Garretts.”

Commander of the Kenyan Army, Lt. Gen. Njuki Mwaniki, met with U.S. Army Africa leaders and toured the command’s headquarters in Vicenza, Italy, Feb. 23-25.
In addition to meeting with U.S. Army Africa Commander, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg, Mwaniki delivered a presentation on border security issues affecting Kenya and toured some of the installation’s skills training facilities and Battle Command Training Center.
The Kenyan general said he was impressed by the sophisticated training and the working relationships he observed among American soldiers and their leaders.
“I think the relationship between the command and the staff, for example [between the sergeant major and the staff, is a very good example,” he said. “That is one of the highlights that I can pick straight away. That shows you it will be a successful command,” he said.
CSM Hu Rhodes, command sergeants major, USARAF, said visits like this put a personal face to a professional relationship. The command relationship endures changes in personnel; however, a familiar face can make things easier at times.
“All three of the Officers that visited were great, but, in particular, the General was impressive in each opportunity I had to spend time with him,” Rhodes said. “He is a studied leader that readily shares his experiences. I learned a lot, took a lot of notes, and look forward to meeting his NCO's in the near future.”
Mwaniki thinks the military profession is about survival, securing the nation and, in doing so, saving lives.
“That is the bottom line of our profession, therefore, we must be perfect in the task we undertake to secure the nation — there’s no substitute for that,” he said. “You must have the passion to love what you do — it must be in your genes; it must be in you.”
Mwaniki’s visit to Vicenza is another building block in an evolving relationship between the Kenyan Army and U.S. Army Africa, and we need to sustain this relationship.
“There’s really a relationship now between the U.S. and Africa,” he said. “Visits by [Major General] Hogg [to Kenya] and my visit here we are able to share our thoughts that ensure not only that [our] relationship is enhanced, but that we understand each other,” the Kenyan commander said emphatically.
Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg, commander, USARAF, said the beauty about having the chief of the Kenyan Army visiting us here in Vicenza is absolutely dramatic.
“He’s very personable and brand new to the job -- we had an opportunity to discuss some of the challenges and issues in Eastern Africa,” Hogg said. “We also talked about potential training, missions, exercises, and of course he had the opportunity to come see how U.S. Army Africa operates on a daily basis and see some of our training devises that we use for our Soldiers here,” the USARAF commander said.
Mwaniki stressed that communication is critical — it makes you understand the other person.
“We want to get as much as possible, to ensure that we secure and make Africa a better place,” Mwaniki said. “Ultimately our problems will be solved by us, but the expediencies of the U.S. in other areas will allow us to solve our problems, and we thank them,” he said.

TOKYO – When Army Maj. Gen. James F. Pasquarette assumed command of U.S. Army Japan (USARJ) July 8, 2015, he immediately took initiative to personally meet the troops under his command as well as key leaders from his host nation partners.
Pasquarette's tour of his area of responsibility began in earnest when he and members of his staff boarded a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter July 10 from Camp Zama, Japan. Flying hundreds of feet above the congested highways at sometimes at level with Japan's sea of skyscrapers, Pasquarette acquired a bird's eye view of the American and Japanese military installations scattered among the urban jungle.
“We overflew Sagami General Depot, Yokohama North Dock and Hardy Barracks, said Milton Jackson, garrison manager at Camp Zama. “Our new commander now has clearer picture of the facilities, equipment and watercraft managed by the Army, and he can better understand where and how these individual installations interact with one another.”
According to Jackson, the USARJ primary mission comprises the rapid deployment of troops and materiel from one theater to another. As the Army's largest logistical hub in Asia, the command must maintain a streamlined sustainment system capable of moving thousands of tons of supplies and equipment via land and sea.
“Sagami Depot has rolling stock and Yokohama North Dock has watercraft,” said Jackson. “We must overcome the challenges posed by Japan's dense population centers by developing methods that rapidly move and load stock onto our watercraft so that we may better project our presence in the Pacific. Fortunately, our Japanese allies are willing to support us if a major threat or disaster called for a sudden mass movement.”
After a brief stop at Yokota Air Base to meet with Air Force Gen. John L. Dolan, commanding general, U.S. Force Japan, Pasquarette touched down near the heart of Tokyo where members of America's staunchest allies welcomed him with the pomp and circumstance befitting a general.
“On behalf of the JGSDF (Japan Ground Self-Defense Force), welcome to Japan,” said Gen. Kiyofumi Iwata, chief of staff, JGSDF, to Pasquarette after the two commanders sat in a decorative conference room inside Japan's Ministry of Defense. “We look forward to continuing our dialog of bilateral coordination between our two countries as JGSDF pursues its transformation into a dynamic joint defense force.”
The dialog consisted of one-on-one conversations with not only Iwata but also Adm. Katsutoshi Kawano, chief of staff, Japan Self-Defense Force, and Hideshi Tokuchi, vice minister of international affairs, Japan Ministry of Defense. The four men discussed previous achievements, current operations and potential challenges facing their respective commands and presented ideas on how to strengthen interoperability among their forces through combined training exercises and expanded service member exchange programs.
“We currently have several dozen JSDF service members embedded with [U.S. military] units,” said Pasquarette. “I believe extending this program so that our Soldiers can work within the JGSDF will further enhance our partnership.”
Pasquarette also ensured his hosts that the United States Army remains committed to its allies in the Pacific despite looming force reductions and ongoing operations in Europe and the Middle East.
“The Army recently announced that it will cut the number of troops in the active component from 450,000 to about 410,000,” said Pasquarette. “This rebalance of the force has no effect on our strength and readiness in the Pacific. Our alliance is more important than ever. That's why we're keeping our best trained and best equipped Soldiers in Japan and Korea.”
After a two-hour visit that started with with a JSDF band playing “The Star-Spangled Banner” and ended with a warm exchange of plaques and handshakes, Pasquarette and his team boarded a helicopter bound for Camp Zama.
“I have worked extensively throughout the Pacific during my Army career,” said the former armor officer and chief of staff of U.S. Army Pacific. “The JSDF consists of some of the world's most capable and professional men and women in uniform. I look forward to building stronger relationships with them and become a valuable partner in its transformation."

Albergue Olímpico, Salinas – It was around 1400hrs, Friday 18 Feb 2011, when the first group of parents and children arrived to participate in the first Youth Weekend Camp for Reservist’s dependents in the island. Army Reserve personnel from the continental United States and from the First Mission Command were receiving the children, as their parents finished the registration paperwork. “The happiness is contagious today. The reservists residing in Puerto Rico were asking for a long time to have this event in the island and today it has become a reality”, said Marta Feliciano, Child and Youth Support Services Specialist.
One of the first parents to arrive was Sergeant Julio Acosta Portalatin, from Puerto Nuevo. He brought his son Abimael Acosta, 11 years old. “This camp is an excellent idea and a great opportunity for our kids to get away from the video games and share this experience with other kids. I recently arrived from a deployment and my son experienced firsthand the sacrifice of being a military dependent. Now, with this camp, he can see and experience the great benefits that come along with that sacrifice”, said the non commissioned officer who is assigned to Charlie Company, 35th Signal Battalion.
Another parent that expressed his excitement was Sergeant First Class Felix Rivera from Ponce. He brought Alexa and Nicole, who are 13 years old, and Delmarie and Felix who are 8 years old. “This youth camp confirms that the U.S. Army Reserve always takes care of our families. These events give me great satisfaction and put me at ease because I know that whenever I am away from the family, the Army Reserve will take care of them”.
The event also served to reconnect Mrs. Janet Rios Beltran with the military. Rios Beltran lost her husband, Specialist Juan Carlos Luna Lopez, last year. Specialist Luna was conducting post mobilization training at Fort Dix, New Jersey, in preparation for deployment. “I feel happy of being able to participate in this camp. It is great to be able to bring my son to this event. I am very grateful to the U.S. Army Reserve in Puerto Rico. They have treated me and my son, like a family” said Mrs. Rios Beltran, while observed her son play with other children.
Ninety children within the ages of 5-17 years old participated in the youth camp, free of charge. Camp counselors were available throughout the weekend teaching the participants on sports techniques and guiding them, while enjoying the Puerto Rico’s Olympic Center facilities.
This youth weekend camp is part of the United States Army Reserve effort to take care of military families. The First Mission Support Command Family Program offers education, training, referrals and periodic contact to the Soldier’s families during their mobilization. Through these initiatives, the United States Army Reserve in Puerto Rico ensures the military families are ready to face periods of separation.

OKINAWA, Japan (Sept. 22, 2013) - Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3 carry a mock casualty on an improvised stretcher through shoulder-high mud water while running a six-hour endurance course at the Marine Corps’ Jungle Warfare Training Center (JWTC). More than 60 NMCB 3 Seabees attended the eight-day JWTC course. The training helped sustain the battalion’s overall readiness as the Pacific Region’s primary forward-deployed construction battalion prepared to provide conventional combat, counter-insurgency and irregular warfare capabilities. One of the first battalions commissioned during World War II, NMCB 3’s legacy stands strong in its ability to build and fight anywhere in the world as either a full battalion or as a group of autonomous detachments, simultaneously completing critical engineering and construction missions. For this deployment, NMCB 3 has split into nine details to perform critical construction projects in remote island areas such as Timor-Leste, Tonga, Cambodia and the Philippines. The teams will also conduct operations in Atsugi, Yokosuka and Okinawa, Japan; Chinhae, Republic of Korea and China Lake, Calif. The Naval Construction Force is a vital component of the U.S. Maritime Strategy. They provide deployable battalions capable of providing disaster preparation and recovery support, humanitarian assistance and combat operations support.

Hogg takes command of U.S. Army Africa
10 June 2010 - By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa Public Affairs
VICENZA, Italy – During a ceremony today at Caserma Ederle’s Hoekstra Field, Maj. Gen. David R. Hogg assumed command of U.S. Army Africa.
Gen. William E. Ward, commanding general of U.S. Africa Command presided over the ceremony, which signaled the departure of outgoing commander, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III.
Hogg, who recently served as deputy commanding general of Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan, said he is delighted to become part of the Vicenza military community.
“After 29 years of service and six overseas assignments to include Germany, Panama and Belgium, this is our first opportunity to be in Italy,” Hogg said. “We are absolutely thrilled to be here.”
Hogg said he is excited to be a part of U.S. Army Africa, the Army's newest service component command, challenged with developing relationships with land forces in Africa and supporting U.S. Army efforts on the African continent.
Ward reminded the crowd that U.S. Army Africa has accomplished some great things since Dec. 2008, when it began its transformation to becoming the Army service component command for U.S. Africa Command.
“In that short time, the command has formed, grown, and matured into an active and effective outfit and has established strong strategic relationships with the ground forces in Africa,” Ward said. “U.S. Army Africa not only succeeded, they excelled. In fact, they thrived on the opportunities they were given.”
Garrett took command of the Southern European Task Force in 2008. He commanded SETAF throughout its transformation to U.S. Army Africa. Garrett now heads to Iraq, where he will serve as the chief of staff, U.S. Forces Iraq.
“We look forward to building upon the systems that Maj. Gen. Garrett and Mrs. Garrett have developed,” Hogg said. “We are truly thankful for the warm welcome that we have received from the community and, especially, the Garretts.”

Among the distinguished visitors was Brig. Gen. Deborah L. Kotulich, commanding general, 143d ESC. During her briefing to the troops completing their necessary medical and human resources tasks through SRP, Kotulich emphasized the importance of DRE III as a realistic training event that gauges the 332nd Trans. BN’s capability to rapidly mobilize its assets and deploy to any corner of the world.
Kotulich’s also reminded the scores of Soldiers packed into the classroom that the world’s complex and dynamic threats require all Soldiers to adapt to new military doctrine while perfecting basic combat skills that will keep them alive and uphold their respective units as a cohesive fighting force.
Kotulich also toured the Army Landing Craft Utility 2031 (USAV New Orleans) as its crew from the 824th Transportation Company (Heavy Boat) prepared the vessel to support an Emergency Deployment Readiness Exercise in support of the Army Reserve’s mission to provide humanitarian aid to Puerto Rico and other islands devastated by Hurricane Maria.

Voici une petite nouveauté pour alimenter les actus du blog,
Ma troisième réalisation sur le thème de Skies of Arcadia,
Il s'agit d'une commande passée à la galerie Kochi courant le mois du février 2015.
Cette fois on part sur la base d'un aéronef qui a subi pas mal d’altérations.
J'ai utilisé du bois de tilleul pour le capot, celui-ci ayant été découpé au préalable à l'aide d'un outil de découpe rotatifs. (Dremel). Les imperfections du bois ont été rebouchées à l'aide d'une pâte de bois clair, poncé et teinté à la lasure acajou, et peint en gris bleuté, poncé de nouveau pour un aspect plus dégradé et vieilli. Le capot est ensuite ciré et imperméabilisé. Dans celui-ci se loge une grille à petites mailles, oxydée à l'aide de pigment Ocre, Terre d'ombre naturelle = oxyde de fer synthétique. Le reste est un jeu de trompe-l'oeil avec plusieurs jus de noir et de brun. Ce qui semble être un anneau métallique est en réalité un bandeau en cuir traité et lui aussi passé à la peinture oxydée.
Les slots à manettes ont été réalisés par le même procédé que le capot.
Le logo a été reproduit en plexiglass et remoulé à l'aide de Silicone Silgum en pâte 2 composants. Ensuite coulé en résine et peint.

Hello!
Here is the latest news feed of my blog.
It is about my third creation on the « Skies of Arcadia » theme.
That is an order for the Kochi gallery placed back in February.
The main idea behind the custom was to make it look like a heavily damaged spacecraft.
I used lime wood I previously cut with a rotating cutter (called a dremel) for the hood. All the wood’s imperfections were first resealed with some light color wood paste, then sanded stained with mahogany stain. After that, I painted it with a blue and gray color before sanding it one more time to give it a more degraded and aged look. I waxed the hood and made it waterproof. I put inside a small grid, oxidizing it with ocher pigment called « natural earth shade » (synthetic iron oxyde). All the rest is an optical illusion made from several black and brown juices. What seems to be metal ring is, in fact, a leather band treated and painted with oxyde paint. I used the same pattern for the gamepads slots. I finally reproduced the logo with plexiglass and remolded it with some 2-component silicone slim before molding it in resin and painting it.
