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.
Today is the anniversary of D-Day 6th June 1944. This memorial, near Spean Bridge, to the memory of those who volunteered to do arduous and dangerous tasks over and above the others who also fought for freedom from tyranny, is a place of quiet. Visitors from all over the world come here and take in the magnificent solitude and views while showing their respect to the sacrifice of servicemen who, if caught, were not treated under the terms of The Geneva Convention.
The free world owes an immense debt to the heroics and service of all such from all walks of life who not only represented their own country but also the others who defended the right to freedom.
The cost of such freedom from tyranny is always high and still tyranny exists.
It is a sad state of affairs that. after so much sacrifice, the world cannot seem to live together in peace and harmony.

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 .
This beach is named after 7 soldiers who used to live here - according to the locals. Why they got here and what happened to them no one can say for sure.
The beach is of fine white sand and perfect for swimming and sunbathing. There were several boats here when we arrived - almost all were on the last leg of a day-long island-hopping tour. Since this beach is on the Palawan mainland and very close to El Nido town, it makes for the perfect last stop, especially with a shop on the island serving cold drinks, snacks and the local Halo-halo dessert.

Seen at Glasson Dock - a Norton Commando Fastback.
I think it is just a myth - I don't think the seat hump (or whatever its called) made it any faster ;-)
When I had been riding a few years I was considering buying one but when I went for a test ride I couldn't start it so bought a Suzuki GT750 instead!
Although I took an actual camera (not just a phone) and there was lots to photograph including plenty of bikes, I only took one photo all day. I think that we were too busy talking when we weren't on our bikes.

The last stop of our last day of island-hopping at Bacuit Bay, El Nido, Philippines. This beach is actually located on the mainland of El Nido.

Forgive me such a vibe handed pic.
It was too dark to shoot with hand holding.
Nicky Hayden's gone, I have no words.
Rest in Peace.

Ran into these guys in a parking garage. If it wasn't during SXSW I would've run the other way.

My dream bike. However... I owned a Commando 850 Mk2A for 38 years and sold it in the end because my aging legs could no longer start it. It was fitted with 8.5:1 pistons. The above beauty, I assume, would have the Combat engine with 10:1 pistons. Definitely couldn't start this one. And I'm sure that if it had a mind to, it could easily launch you over the handlebars if it kicked back. Still, it would be nice to have in the living room.
So apparently not ONLY is Echo still alive, but he was to return in season 7 (Most likely with Gregor?) in an Experimental Commando story Arc.
Check it out on Clone Wars' story writer Brent Friedman's twitter page...

Oh, and there's a SLIM chance we could get a season 7 on Netflix. Anyone want to bombard Filoni with emails? :P

Now here's a niche bunch. Was messing around with parts trying to make a Frankenstein fig and came across this lot whilst looking for reference pictures.
Their whole thing is that they were a group of WWII soldiers who were transformed into classic monsters, as a sort of psychological warfare tactic against the Axis forces. It's bonkers, but it's a concept I really like. There was a Frankenstein's monster-esque character on the team already by the name of Elliot 'Lucky' Taylor, but after Flashpoint he was swapped out for the pre-existing version of Frankenstein in the DC Universe. Then, I remembered a version of the team Peppersalt created a while back, and decided to have a crack at my own version of the team.
There's a few missing, mainly GI Robot, who I couldn't for the life of me work out without using one of those Ultron drones and sticking a helmet on it, so I gave up with him.
From left to right we have: Frankenstein, Vincent Velcoro, Matthew Shrieve, Myrna 'Medusa' Rhodes and Warren Griffith.
Friend of mine just finished rebuilding this 1982 Norton Commando 850 to pristine conditions. Went for an 80 mile ride today and it performed flawlessly. Next step is to add a few oil leaks to it and it will then be a truly 100% Norton build quality!! Those of you that have owned British bikes will know what I am talking about..

A fitting memorial to some of the bravest men in history.
