NON-NUCLEAR COMPONENT STORES BUILDING 61 –
Building 61 (Drg No. 1245/53) is a Non-Nuclear Component Stores with attached concrete gantry on four columns projecting over the road to the front (west). Reasons for Designation Building 61 is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
▪︎RARITY – A rare building on a unique site designed to accommodate and service Britain's first nuclear weapon, the ''Blue Danube''. It is the only such surviving facility in the country.
▪︎HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION – The building has outstanding national and international interest for its historical associations with the development of the earliest British nuclear weapons technology during the Cold War, which helped shape Britain's post-war history.
▪︎GROUP VALUE – The building has strong group value with other buildings at RAF Barnham, and was part of the national deployment of nuclear weapons.
▪︎INTACTNESS – Building 61 is largely intact.
Non-nuclear component stores buildings 60 and 61, held the high explosive part of the bomb and its outer casing. The central section of the casing held the high explosive lenses assembled into a large ball with forward sections containing electronics and radars. Owing to the weight and size of ''Blue Danube'', the gantry at the entrance was required to manoeuvre the bomb onto a trolley for storage. Building 61 is currently used as small work units and has blockwork partitioning which is reversible.
▪︎MATERIALS – A reinforced concrete frame and blockwork walls, and a flat concrete roof. ▪︎PLAN – Rectangular, aligned approximately east-west.
▪︎EXTERIOR – Building 61 is surrounded by substantial earth bunds. It has a central recessed entrance flanked by two projecting two storey, flat roofed plant and switch rooms which originally contained plant to maintain a stable environment. The original steel doors remain. The rear elevation has a central door and there are crittall windows to the rear and sides.
▪︎INTERIOR – Originally sub-divided internally into compartments of 11ft x 3ft bays allowing the storage of up to 66 bombs, Building 61 has been partitioned internally to create smaller work units.
Although the site was in use for storage of Mustard Gas and explosives during World War II, it was not until after the end of hostilities that the depot was constructed in its current form. In the early 1950's, the Air Ministry had a continuing need for high explosive bombs and storage facilities for them and was looking ahead to a ''future war in which atomic and thermo-nuclear weapons would be used by both sides''. It is within this historic context that the Special Storage Unit at RAF Barnham was constructed following the issuing of ''Blue Danube'', Britain's first nuclear bomb, to the RAF in November 1953.
The bombs were held in clutches in V-bomber airfields such as RAF Scampton and RAF Wittering and the purpose of the store at RAF Barnham, and the almost identical site at RAF Faldingwoth in Lincolnshire, was to provide maintenance and refurbishment to support the airfields and hold spare warheads. The Air Ministry plan for the Store is dated May 1953, although planning for the facility almost certainly had started before this, and it was fully operational by July 1954. In the first phase of works, the fences, earthworks, fissile core storage hutches, inspection buildings and gantries were built by August 1955.
The small arms and pyrotechnics store, barrack accommodation, gymnasium, telephone exchange, meat preparation store and dog compound were erected shortly after to strengthen security. By mid 1955 the double fence was in place, later augmented by the current observation towers erected in early 1959 replacing smaller structures. The Special Storage Unit remained the main holding place for the Mk. 1 Atomic Bomb, under control of Bomber Command until November 1956 when an independent Unit (95 Commanding Maintenance Unit) was formed. During the operational life of the site, second and third generation British nuclear weapons such as ''Red Beard'' and ''Yellow Sun'' were introduced on the site.
By 1962, the site was in decline and the maintenance unit ceased to exist on 31st July 1963. The closure of the station is probably linked to the operational deployment of ''Blue Steel'' from late 1962. The site was sold to the current owners in 1966 and let out for light industrial use. Some of the buildings have been altered and most significantly, one of the non-nuclear stores burnt down in the 1980’s, but there has been an on-going maintenance and repair programme agreed with English Heritage resulting in the preservation of the site.

CHENONCEAUX Commandé aux Forges et Chantiers de la Gironde à Bordeaux sur les mêmes plans que le D'ARTAGNAN et devait s'appeler Aramis.
Les turbines Zoelly Schneider dont il était pourvu s'étant fendues au cours des essais d’endurance on décida de les remplacer par deux machines à vapeur alternatives disponibles en Angleterre et on lui donna un nom correspondant à la ligne d'Indo-Chine
Coque identique aux D'ARTAGNAN et ATHOS II
Une seule cheminée de forme ovale.2 mâts et de nombreux mâtereaux de charge. Un long château central coupé par une petite cale entre la passerelle et la cheminée.
CHENONCEAUX fut à la construction doté d'un nouveau type de turbines qui ne donneront pas satisfaction lors des essais, casse lors des essais d'endurance. Le navire sera refusé par la Cie (sur l'Athos II en construction on ne montera pas le même type de turbines)
Celles-ci seront remplacées avec quelques difficultés par des machines alternatives disponibles immédiatement en Angleterre
De nouveaux essais sont effectués, la commission étant débarquée au Verdon, le navire rejoindra directement Marseille afin d'éviter une saisie, le constructeur déposant le bilan. Pour effacer la mauvaise réputation du navire qui commençait à se répandre, la Cie décide de le rebaptiser CHENONCEAUX et de l'affecter à la ligne d'Extrême Orient.
Tout était loin d'être parfait. Pour ne pas avoir à reconstruire le carlinguage du parquet, les collecteurs avaient été mis en place par morceaux puis soudés sur place.
La vapeur produite étant de la vapeur surchauffée, cela posait des problèmes de graissage pour les pistons des machines alternatives surtout au piston HP qui recevait directement la vapeur surchauffée.
Le fournisseur des pistons avait prévu pour les pistons HP des garnitures spéciales ''Lockwood'' mais après usure du premier jeu on les remplaça par des garnitures semblables mais fabriquées par la Société Provençale de Construction Navale. Mais leur usure était telle qu'il fallait expédier des rechanges dans tous les ports, jusqu'au remplacement par des garnitures Lockwood d'origine

The Vigilant Air Command Warbird Museum is a cool air museum that doubles as an aircraft preservation and/or restoration facility. I had never heard of it until the day I visited - it sounded pretty good, and it was. I hit it shortly before closing on a Sunday evening and had the place to myself. My first impression was how crowded it was. Planes were tightly packed together in the hanger. It was hard to get any photos without getting a bunch of other stuff in the photo. There are also a number of planes outside in the elements. I liked that you can get up close and personal with the planes, but be careful since I almost poked my eyes out several times.
The museum is located at the Space Coast Regional Airport, near Titusville, Florida. Check it out if you are in the area. I took these photos in mid-December 2021.

FT. Buchanan, PR – “We are here to honor Col. Miguel A. Isaac as he takes off the uniform of military he has served for the past 35 years. Today, we say good bye to a value leader who has served with honor and distinction throughout a long and successful career, military and civilian.” said Brig. Gen. José R. Burgos, U.S. Army Reserve in Puerto Rico Commanding General on his opening remarks on the Retirement Ceremony of Col. Miguel A. Isaac, Deputy Commander and Commander Executive Officer (CXO) of the 1st Mission Support Command (1st MSC) on 11 Jan.
The Military retirement ceremonies give the opportunities to friends, colleagues and others to thank the retiring Soldiers for his service and sacrifice made during his career. In this occasion, the 1st MSC hold a very special ceremony to Col. Isaac while he prepares to take a rest of the military life after 35 year when he was commissioned on June 1979 as Signal Officer.
“Since 1979 Miguel understood that the military will deal in an environment that is full of changes and surprises, it is for that reason that adaption and flexibility are keys to success. With your leadership the 1st MSC is one of the top commands of the U.S. Army Reserve Command, and I thank you for that. Throughout all you career, you set the example for your people and inspired their confidence. You gave them the right tools, push them forward and got out their way so they could do their best work, and they have.” add Brig. Gen. Burgos on his remark and extending his gratitude also to Ms. Sandra Isaac, Miguel Jr. and Alexandra, Col. Isaac family.
Col. Isaac was responsible for the direct supervision of two subordinates’ elements consisting of two Regional Support Groups and the 1st MSC Headquarters. He was responsible for all aspects of command, with emphasis on providing ready units and trained Soldiers capable of performing their wartime missions. His focus areas include Soldier mobilization, recruitment, retention, readiness, safety, and the Family Readiness Program. Since June, 2002, Mr. Isaac serves as CXO of the 1st MSC, US Army Reserve in Puerto Rico. The 1st MSC is a command of over 3,900 Soldiers covering the entire island of Puerto Rico and Saint Thomas, V.I. Mr. Isaac served as primary advisor and consultant to the Commander on policy matters relative to various phases of Army Reserve Program and other missions of the command.
“I am retiring but my legacy will continue. Is being a journey of 35 years, I have visited many countries and meet different people. Coming for a very humble childhood I never thought about being here today, retiring as US Army Colonel in this fine Army that have given me and my family so much, that I am so grateful to serve my country. As a baby-boomer all good thing has come to an end, and start a new way of life. I hope and I wish you all have a bless life like I have, and you do your most and best in all your endeavors. How I will like to be remembered? Very simple, that I placed my missions first, that I was part of a team but I also like to have fun. It was all about the Soldiers, it was not about me. I have to say goodbye, but goodbyes are not forever, that’s only means that I will miss you until we meet again. I salute you all.” said Col. Isaac on his final remarks as he thank the Soldiers, the civilian force, family and friends to support him during his career.

A true leader builds his vision upon a foundation of precision and understanding. The tools of the cartographer are not so different from the tools of leadership—each line, angle, and measure must be exact, for every detail shapes the grand strategy.
It is in such discipline that empires rise. A steady hand, a clear purpose, and an unwavering focus carve the path forward. Command is not chaos; it is meticulous control.
