I took this photo of the Bomber Command Memorial in London's Green Park on a cold winter’s late afternoon in 2016.
This memorial was a long time in the making. In the dark days of 1940 British prime minister Winston Churchill described bombers as "the means of victory", but the comfort of victory in 1945 allowed the country to acquire a conscience and Churchill never even mentioned Bomber Command in his speech at the end of the war. The controversy over the tactics employed by RAF Bomber Command meant that an official memorial to the aircrews was delayed for so many years.
The Bomber Command Memorial was designed by architect Liam O'Connor and was built using Portland stone. Within the memorial are the bronze sculpture by Philip Jackson of a Bomber Command aircrew, seven figures 9 feet tall representing the aircrew of a Bomber Command heavy bomber at the moment when they get off the aircraft and they've dumped all their heavy kit onto the ground. The space is open to the sky with an opening designed to allow light to fall directly onto sculptures of the aircrew, although it was quite dark when I took my photo. The rendering of the sky is a powerful symbol for the memorial.
The roof incorporates sections of aluminium recovered from a Handley Page Halifax III removed from a swamp in 1997. The plane was shot down over Belgium on the night of 12 May 1944, all eight crew being killed. Three members of the crew were still at their stations when the aircraft was excavated. They were buried in Belgium with full military honours alongside the five other members of the crew.
The Bomber Command Memorial commemorates the 55,573 who died while serving in the Bomber Command during the Second World War.
So far as I know the government declined to help funding for the memorial. An appeal was made for £5.6 million to build the memorial, and funding came from donations made by the public, as well as substantial amounts from Lord Ashcroft and businessmen John Caudwell and Richard Desmond. Robin Gibb, the singer, became a key figure behind the appeal, working alongside Jim Dooley to raise funds and have the memorial built. With a lack of forthcoming funds to pay for the projected £700,000 cost of the ceremony, a number of veterans put forward their own money as security for the event, making them liable for the costs if donations did not cover the total. The Ministry of Defence drew criticism for not providing any money, in particular the Defence Secretary, Philip Hammond, who attended the ceremony. In October 2012 it was reported that some of the trustees of the charity set up to fund the construction and opening of the Bomber Command Memorial would be liable for a shortfall of £500,000.
The memorial was dedicated and unveiled on 28 June 2012 by Queen Elizabeth. The ceremony was attended by 6,000 veterans and family members of those killed, and the Avro Lancaster of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight dropped red poppy petals over Green Park.

.... and in what vehicle is this the Commander's position?
I took this with my compact "reserve" camera to see if I could get decent HDR results without a proper SLR...
Extract from the Court Circular for 9 May 2012
“The Queen, accompanied by The Duke of Edinburgh, travelled in State to the Palace of Westminster today to open the Session of Parliament.
Her Majesty and His Royal Highness drove in a Carriage Procession, escorted by a Sovereign's Escort of The Household Cavalry, under the command of Major Simon Deverell, The Blues and Royals, and were received at the Sovereign's Entrance by the Earl Marshal and the Lord Great Chamberlain.
Guards of Honour were mounted at Buckingham Palace by The Queen's Guard found by 1st Battalion Irish Guards, under the command of Major Tom Oakley, and at the Palace of Westminster by 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards, under the command of Major James Coleby.
A staircase party of The Household Cavalry was on duty at Victoria Tower, House of Lords.
Royal Salutes were fired in Green Park by The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Major Mark Edward, and from the Tower of London Saluting Battery by the Honourable Artillery Company, under the command of Major Michael Joy.
The Imperial State Crown, the Cap of Maintenance and the Sword of State were conveyed previously to the House of Lords in a Carriage Procession, escorted by a Regalia Escort of The Household Cavalry.
Her Majesty's Body Guard of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms was on duty in the Prince's Chamber and The Queen's Body Guard of the Yeomen of the Guard was on duty in the Royal Gallery.
The Queen's Bargemaster and Watermen were on duty.
The Ladies and Gentlemen of the Household and the Pages of Honour to The Queen (Lord Stanley, Andrew Leeming, Arthur Chatto and the Hon. Charles Armstrong-Jones) were in attendance at the Palace of Westminster.”
Information from the Ministry of Defence website:
“The pomp and ceremony that takes place during the event is an essential part of the State Opening of Parliament, and over 1,300 Service personnel were on show in a variety of ceremonial roles.
The State Opening of Parliament marks the formal start of the next parliamentary session and primarily this colourful tradition is for Her Majesty The Queen to set out the government’s legislative agenda to both Houses of Parliament in her speech.
Elements of four of the Regiments of Foot Guards provided street-liners and other support, while an escort to Her Majesty was provided by members of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.
In honour of the State Opening, gun salutes were fired by the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery in Green Park, and by the Honourable Artillery Company at the Tower of London. Musical accompaniment at various locations was provided by all five Foot Guards Bands and by the Royal Artillery Band.
The General Officer Commanding London District, Major General George Norton, commanded the tri-Service military elements on parade.
The Crown Procession, accompanied by the Regalia Escort of the Household Cavalry, left Buckingham Palace at 1037 hours, arriving at the House of Lords at 1052 hours. It was followed by the Sovereign’s Procession which left Buckingham Palace at 1100 hours.
The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery fired a 41-gun Royal Salute from Green Park from the moment the Sovereign’s Procession, accompanied by the Sovereign’s Escort of the Household Cavalry, arrived at the Sovereign’s Entrance of the House of Lords.
After delivering her speech, Her Majesty returned to Buckingham Palace. She left via the Sovereign’s Entrance of the House of Lords at midday as the Honourable Artillery Company fired the first round of a 41-gun salute from the Tower of London.
The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, followed by the Sovereign’s Escort and Regalia Escort of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, and members of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards, provided a Guard of Honour at Buckingham Palace and marched past Her Majesty before returning to their barracks.”

USAF Serial: 51-8024
Fairchild C/N: 10767
From Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_C-119_Flying_Boxcar
The Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar (Navy and Marine Corps designation R4Q) was an American military transport aircraft developed from the World War II-era Fairchild C-82 Packet, designed to carry cargo, personnel, litter patients, and mechanized equipment, and to drop cargo and troops by parachute. The first C-119 made its initial flight in November 1947, and by the time production ceased in 1955, more than 1,100 C-119s had been built. Its cargo-hauling ability and unusual twin-boom design earned it the nickname "Flying Boxcar".
The Air Force C-119 and Navy R4Q was initially a redesign of the earlier C-82 Packet, built between 1945 and 1948. The Packet provided service to the Air Force's Tactical Air Command and Military Air Transport Service for nearly nine years during which time its design was found to have several serious problems. All of these were addressed in the C-119.
In contrast to the C-82, the cockpit was moved forward to fit flush with the nose rather than its previous location over the cargo compartment. This resulted in more usable cargo space and larger loads than the C-82 could accommodate. The C-119 also featured more powerful engines, and a wider and stronger airframe. The first C-119 prototype (called the XC-82B) first flew in November 1947, with deliveries of C-119Bs from Fairchild's Hagerstown, Maryland factory beginning in December 1949.
In 1951, Henry J. Kaiser was awarded a contract to assemble additional C-119s at the Kaiser-Frazer automotive factory located in the former B-24 plant at Willow Run Airport in Belleville, Michigan. Initially, the Kaiser-built C-119F differed from the Fairchild aircraft by the use of Wright R-3350-85 Duplex Cyclone engines in place of Fairchild's use of the Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major radial engine. Kaiser built 71 C-119s at Willow Run in 1952 and 1953 (AF Ser. No. 51-8098 to 51-8168) before converting the factory for a planned production of the Chase C-123 that never eventuated. The Kaiser sub-contract was frowned upon by Fairchild, and efforts were made through political channels to stop Kaiser's production, which may have proven successful. Following Kaiser's termination of C-119 production the contract for the C-123 was instead awarded to Fairchild. Most Kaiser-built aircraft were issued to the U.S. Marine Corps as R4Qs, with several later turned over to the South Vietnamese air force in the 1970s.

Im ersten Stock des "Martinianum", zuvor Studentenwohnheim, residierte seit 1936 neben der Polizeidirektion die Tübinger Zweigstelle der Geheimen Staatspolizei ("Gestapo"). Das Gestapobüro gehörte zu den angstbesetzten Orten im braunen Tübingen. Hier hatten sich die vom Heuberg oder Kuhberg, den ersten Konzentrationslagern ("KZ") der Region, entlassenen politischen Gegner der Nazis regelmäßig zu melden, hier wurden Verdächtige verhört, fanden Denunzianten offene Ohren.
Über den Schreibtisch des örtlichen Dienststellenleiters und des Polizeidirektors gingen seit dem Spätherbst 1941 die Anweisungen und Befehle für die Deportation in die Konzentrations- und Vernichtungslager im Osten. An deren furchtbar reibungsloser Abwicklung waren diverse städtische Behörden, das Landratsamt, das örtliche Finanzamt sowie die Banken, einige Transportunternehmen und insbesondere die Reichsbahn beteiligt.
"Es wäre eben das Wünschenswerteste, wenn sämtliche restlichen Juden aus Tübingen vollends verschwinden würden durch Umsiedlung in eine württembergische Judengemeinde."

After 1936 Tübingen's district office of the "Geheime Staatspolizei" - Gestapo – (Secret Police) was on the first floor of the "Martinianum", previously a dormitory next to the Police Authorities.
The Gestapo office was one of the most dreaded places of the Brown Tübingen. In this office released political opponents of the Nazis had to report at regular intervals, suspicious people were interrogated and informers were welcomed.
From late fall 1941 on, instructions and commands concerning deportation to concentration and extermination camps in the east passed over the desk of the local chief in office and marshal.
A few of the public authorities, the District Office, the local finance office as well as the banks, some transport companies and in particular the "Reichsbahn" (state railway) were involved in the terribly smooth execution of all commands .
"It would be very desirable, if all remaining Jews in Tübingen completely vanished by resettlement in a Jewish community in Württemberg.."

Set 6951, the Robot Command Center was my absolute favorite Classic Space set (of the sets I actually had) when I was growing up. When the opportunity came up to create a Neo Classic Space MOC, my mind immediately went to this set. It was basically a mecha, except that the legs didn’t move at all, and the arms were attached to the knees. I figured that new parts and techniques would allow me to do something really cool with this idea. I did decide to lose a few of the play features from the original, even though I like them. There was just something about a little ship docking in my mecha’s crotch that didn’t seem right.
