Warrior Country leaders host the Area I Command Information Exchange at Camp Casey's Warriors Club July 28. These quarterly meetings have replaced the traditional town hall that tended to brief what services are provided by the garrison while the CIE format is designed to address high-impact issues like the eventual closing of Casey Elementary School, availability of school bus monitors and changes to command sponsorship. The next Command Information Exchange is scheduled for Oct. 29 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at the Warriors Club.

The Sueojangdae Command Post was first built in 1624 as a single-story building and rebuilt in 1751 as a two-story building and rebuilt again in 1836. Of the five command posts in the fortress, it is the only one remaining.
Namhansanseong served as emergency palace during times of internal unrest and external threat for the ruling Joseon dynasty. It also served as administrative center during peace times. It is located in the mountains 25 kilometers southeast of Seoul. It contained an emergency palace complex for the king, military buildings, and regular accommodations. It could house around 4,000 people.
Construction of Namhansanseong Fortress began in 1624 although earlier fortifications exist in the area. It was expanded over the next two centuries and eventually became the best-equipped fortress in Korea. Its perimeter wall has a length of 12.4 kilometers, features four main gates, sixteen secret entrances, and 125 sentry posts.

An intact and well preserved heavy anti-aircraft (HAA) battery to the south west of Lavernock Point, South Wales. The battery was scheduled in 1995 and is "of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of World War II anti-aircraft and coastal defence practices."
It is often incorrectly described as Lavernock Fort, this anti-aircraft battery dates form the Second World War, while the coastal artillery fort, operational from 1870, is now almost completely obscured by the holiday park which now sits on the site. See my other album with images of what remains of the fort.
There were four heavy gun positions, in two pairs, each would have held a 3.7in quick firing (QF) gun. Two of the positions are the standard pattern reinforced concrete, octaganal in shape, with six ready use ammunition lockers. The remaining two positions were of simpler earth bank construction. The front (sea facing) walls of the emplacements have been fitted with steel doors to allow for depressed firing of the guns in an anti-ship role.
References are made to a 40mm Bofors gun being on site but I don't think this had a fixed position and may have either been sited on one of the 3.7in positions or in the mobile role been deployed on its road carriage.
A sunken magazine for bulk ammunition storage is between the two concrete positions, surrounded by a blast wall. Inside there are five bays that would have stockpiled ammunition to resupply the guns above.
The command post is the most interesting of the structures. Semi-sunken, the seven room building would have served as the command and control centre fo the battery as well as a rest area for the crews when not manning the guns.
There are a few bays on the outside of the command post which would have mounted equipment such as a range finder, height finder, and other instrumentation.
All structures have been recently secured and access isn't possible with the exception of the command post where a panel has been removed and it's possible get inside.

John Caudwell is the major benefactor of the RAF Bomber Command Memorial www.bombercommand.com/ which is currently being constructed in Green Park in London. Video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBCcyhNzIQc
The memorial recognises the bravery of bomber crews during the Second World War - tens of thousands died. Work has started, and hoardings erected. But there's a bonus: around 100 yards of advertising panels highlighting the bravery of those crews in the past, and an appeal for funds to help preserve and maintain the memorial into the future, and, alongside, a series of panels highlighting the bravery of - and the future for - children with serious, life-threatening and terminal illnesses, and appealing for funds for the charity set up by John, www.caudwellchildren.com/, which could change or save the lives of those children and their families.

Apollo Command Module Boilerplate
A boilerplate is a simplified metal model created to test specific aspects of the real spacecraft, such as water landings, launch abort escape rockets, or recovery systems. It duplicates the size, weight, shape, and center of gravity of the actual vehicle.
This particular boilerplate is BP-1101A. NASA used it for flotation tests in the Gulf of Mexico in July, 1965. After some modifications, NASA used it for additional ocean testing in 1966 and 1967.
