stopped off here Sunday morning on our way back from The Isle Of Skye!! Not the sunrise we were supposed to get but hey ho
We are the offspring of warriors;
In days of darkness and despair
we are the future they could not see.
We are the destiny they hoped for.
The generations yet unborn
for which they fought and died.
The inheritance for which many waded
through blood and survived
to live a life imprisoned in bodies
maimed and mangled
by the inhumanity of war.
We are the offspring of warriors:
Men and women who remain
bloodied but unbowed.
Perfect in spirit and brotherhood.
See their path before you.
They have left a road much travelled.
The Road to Valour.
The Path of Truth.
Each paved with integrity, with bravery,
with blood, sweat, and tears.
May the tracks we leave behind
for our future generations
be as worthy of the journey
as the ones we now follow.
Do not tread upon their footsteps.
Walk beside them, learn from them
and leave your own mark
for others to pursue.
We are the offspring of warriors:
Their voices echo down the years
exhorting us to stay strong,
to be vigilant in our own battles,
to recognise our true enemies.
They cry in horror as we so easily
give up the freedoms for which they laid down their lives.
Their lives demand that we too
make our word our bond,
that we too stand up for what we believe in
That we too represent our truth
with integrity, with perseverance.
That we too may leave a legacy
and not just a memory.
We are the offspring of warriors:
With clear hearts and eyes
we all march down a path in history.
Whether, in the telling of our journeys,
we weave a tapestry of greatness or of loss,
that story will be told to our generations.
Make it a tale worth the telling,
for we are the offspring of warriors.

The Commando Memorial, erected in 1952, is an A-listed monument to the men of the British Commando Forces of WWII who trained at nearby Archnacarry Castle, Spean Bridge, Scottish Highlands. The Commandos were established by Churchill after Dunkirk in June 1940. They are looking south towards Ben Nevis, the area shown in yesterday's photo, where they did their training.

the mandalorian super commandos were a group of mandalorians who did not follow the old traditions of mandalore. while they had ther own code based on the super commando codex it did not limit them like the dogmatic view of mandalore the great.

Curtiss C-46D Commando N54514 "Maid In Japan" Originally entered into service with the US Army Air Force in 1945, now flying for Everts Air Cargo. 6/24/21 PAFA (Fairbanks, AK)
I had them lined up and thought a picture would look nice :3 This pic makes Gregor's helmet look so ugly ;___; It's not really like that.
Oh yeah, I'm redesigning Shadow Squad again. Look out for that within the next few weeks.
Hi all,
We have just restocked the sold out printed commando helmets now. And we made more two new ones for you. Niner and Skirata helmets. By the way, we also release a new color dark gray in our Sci-Fi helmets. Hope you like it.
But I'm sorry that we can't make it for the other sold out items at this time. e.g. Utapau and 501st airborne helmets. And due to the post office closing schedule. We will temporarily close store from 9th December to 1st of next January. I'm sorry again for inconvenience.

I've been building my Space Police army recently but I have fallen behind with pictures.
Time to put that to rights, I'll start small with these three commandos. Watch out for more coming soon!
The Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge
Another trawl through the archives. this was taken more years ago than I care to remember on my first digital camera, an old Fuji Finepix. The quality is a bit dodgy but I think it is a good representation of the atmosphere of the place.
I finally finished Zondkar Commando with many varieties of weapons and equipment , worth around 10 Commando name , I took that piece that covered the front of the pelvis and I colored the head with black stripes .
Tonight's Net Flicks candidate:
Miami International's compounds were notorious - and mostly inaccessible!
In my case I never got to try so I had to be content with just some brief glimpses from Eastern Airlines Tristar, DC-10 and Boeing 727 cabin windows when flying in and out during a 1980s family holiday
In this shot there's a real mix.
Behind are at least four Douglas DC-6s including N93BL (to the right) plus at the back, are pair of Convair 340/440s
There's a DC-9 tucked in there too but the two stars are a pair of Curtiss C-46's (Commando when miltary) - one is tucked nose-on behind N89BL being front and centre

During the Second World War British Commandos and other specialist forces trained in this remote part of north-west of Scotland - an area that was completely closed off for secrecy.
This memorial, located at Spean Bridge, near Fort William, commemorates the Commandos. This is the area they trained in.
Close nearby is a poignant area put aside for personal tributes to individual Commandos - to those who died in that war but also there are many more modern additions as their deadly job continues.
My photo was taken in "Summer" but if you look closely there are still very small areas of snow on the mountains.

1972 750 cc parallel twin, a single Mikuni carburetor instead of a pair of Amals. About 60 HP and a top speed of 110 mph.
100% Made in France neon lights, alpha male warriors, excessive violence, and bare breasts purely for free: it's the 80s with Commando Ninja, a movie that pays homage to the greatest action-type clichés with whom we grew up to become the degenerate beings steeped in pop culture that we are today.
Check out 80s retro flick "Commando Ninja" on youtube. The whole movie is on there :
The Commando Memorial is a Category A listed monument in Scotland, dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during World War II. Situated around a mile from Spean Bridge village, it overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle. Unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother, it has become one of the United Kingdom's best-known monuments, both as a war memorial and as a tourist attraction offering views of Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr.

A commando droid shield like the one in the "Citadel" Arc. It has another sideways handle similar to the LEGO Knights shields so the droids can also hold it with their sideways hands.
La Ensign Commando, càmera britanica fabricada per Houghton-Butcher, té certes característiques curioses. Fou disenyada durant la II Guerra Mundial com a càmera per al exèrcit britanic, però el conflicte acabà quan amb prou feines s'havia començat a a fer servir. Per tant, Houghton-Butcher la adaptà al mercat civil. L'altra detall interesant és que el mètode d'enfoc no és movent la lent, sino el pla focal. Tota la pel·licula es mou endavant i endarrera contra una planxa tensora. Finalment, aquesta és una càmera de 2 formats, 6x6 i 6x4,5 cm. Però a diferencia d'altres models que necessitaven un marquet reductor extraible (que SEMPRE acaba perdut), en aquest cas el marc reductor de format està format per dues planxes giratories a banda i banda del enquadrament (com si fossin porticons).
L'objectiu és un Ensar Anastigmat f3.5 de 75mm i l'obturador un Ensign Epsilon.
Aquest exemplar en questió és la versió civil del 1946, just després de la versió militar, i és la meva segona Commando, ja que l'anterior tenia diversos problemes (era un model lleugerament posterior). Pels nº de serie de objectiu i obturador (13XX i 9XX) sembla prou inicial dins del periode de producció.
============================================
The Ensign Commando, a British camera manufactured by Houghton-Butcher, has certain unusual features. It was designed during the World War II as a military camera for the British Army, but the conflict ended when it had hardly begun to be used. Therefore, Houghton-Butcher adapted it to the civil market. The other interesting detail is that the focusing is not achieved moving the lens, but rather the focal plane. All the film moves forward and back against a tension plate. Finally, this is a 2 format camera, 6x6 and 6x4.5 cm. But unlike other models that nee a removable frame (which ALWAYS ends up lost), in this case the reducer frame is formed by two integral rotating plates on both sides (as if they were shutters).
Lens is an Ensar Anastigmat f3.5 75mm in an Ensign Epsilon leaf shutter.
This example in question is the civil version of 1946, and it's my second Commando (first one wasn't usable. It's interesing how early seems to be in the production line, as it's lens serial number is only 13XX and the shutter even less, just a 9XX. Camera serial number is a C16XX.
