The Commando Memorial is a 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 Scotland's best-known monuments, both as a war memorial and as a tourist attraction offering views of Ben Nevis and Aonach Mòr.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
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..

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.
