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.

I'm really glad I could rent a 100-400mm (600mm equiv.) lens for this event. I wish I could afford the Fuji Tele, but alas. Last airshow at this location I found that a 300mm (450mm equiv) wasn't enough to get closeups and 400mm work beautifully!

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.

I made a joke based on an experience I had a few months ago, regarding that I always try to use gmail key commands in flickr. Today, after working on a side project with khoi led me to look into greasemonkey jquery integration, I decided to add them to flickr myself.
If you install my greasemonkey user script everyFlickr, you'll enable the only two key commands I've created so far, which switch between the Recent Uploads and Recent Activity tags on your home screen. More will inevitably follow as I figure out what else I try to do, but can't.
I've found a few other examples of people that have done this already with greasemonkey, but not also with jquery. For the record, I used this jquery hotkeys script to get started, as well as this example on integrating jquery and greasemonkey.

CAMP ITAMI, Japan – Army Command Sgt. Maj. Eric C. Dostie, command sergeant major, U.S. Army Japan (USARJ), met Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) Warrant Officer Akihiro Kanae, command sergeant major, JGSDF Western Army at Camp Itami, Japan, Feb. 22, 2016.
Dostie and Kanae exchanged ideas to empower their respective noncommissioned officer (NCO) corps. Among the many topics discussed included integrating USARJ NCO instructors in the JGSDF’s Basic English language course, expanding the Japan Officer Exchange Program to senior NCOs, and enhancing the NCO corps’ role in bilateral training exercises.
Dostie’s short but productive visit comprised a traditional Japanese luncheon followed by a tour of the JGSDF Middle Army museum. The museum’s collection showcased Japan’s proud military history while highlighting its plans to reconstruct the JGSDF regional armies into a more cohesive, rapidly deployable force.
Dostie and Kanae exchanged gifts in a show of friendship that signified the closing months in their respective positions. Kanae plans to retire from the JGSDF in February 2017, while Dostie will say, “sayonara,” to Japan in March as he prepares for his next assignment as the command sergeant major for U.S. Army Central, a major command headquartered in Fort McPherson, Georgia, that boasts an area of responsibility of more than 20 countries in Southwest Asia and North Africa.
