Penfold Commando Golf Balls.
Given to me today as a tip. I think they stopped making these some time in the 80's
This is a meticulously detailed history of the Norton Commando: its antecedents, how it came about, and year-by-year production changes, with detailed technical specifications and contemporary road test reports showing how the Command compared with its rivals. However, the history of the bike cannot be separated from the turbulent story of the company that built it.
Unlike other Norton Commando books, this one also tells you how to buy one of these iconic bikes secondhand – all the pitfalls, what to look for, and what they are really like to live with. Whichever one you choose, it should be fast, agile and good looking ... on a twisty country road, the Commando is famed for its roadholding, and with information on clubs, websites, spares, and the latest modifications and upgrades, this book will help you get the bike you deserve.
Featuring comprehensive appendices of facts, figures, contacts, technical specifiations (including correct colours for each year), engine/frame numbers, and road test performance figures, this is the definitive book of a bike that truly deserves the term ‘classic.'

Second battalion of commandos (2 Cdo), was preparing yesterday to make a leap up off from the operational base of Den Helder.
The day was devoted to training in amphibious landings.
Lieutenant-Colonel Closset, commanding officer of 2 Cdo, talks about the constraints an amphibious landing: "For an amphibious landing, there is a whole series of parameters that come into play. First, we must have the necessary resources in the right place at the right time. Then, we must respond to the challenge imposed by the weather: the tides, wind speed, sea state .. That aspect is a challenge particularly difficult to meet because by nature unpredictable. Finally, it is also to maintain the secrecy and discretion of the preparation to ensure the element of surprise during the execution of the operation.

Pictured: 17 Feb 2026 - Royal Marines from 40 Commando on the ground after being inserted on a joint raid by 847 Naval Air Squadron Wildcat HMA Mk2 Helicopter at Elvegårdsmoen military training camp, Norway.
Royal Marines from 40 Commando were inserted on a joint raid with the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps at Elvegårdsmoen military training camp using Wildcats from 847 Naval Air Squadron and a Dutch NH90 from 820 Squadron.
Aircraft from Commando Helicopter Force have deployed to Northern Norway to Royal Norwegian Air Force base, Bardufoss, in Northern Norway, for their annual workout in the Arctic Circle, Operation Clockwork.
The Commando Merlin and Wildcat operators will master their environment – testing themselves and their machines against the extreme cold.
Personnel will carry out survival training, ensuring they can live and move in the wilderness – learning to navigate, ski and build shelters and forage for food – before conducting sorties over Norway’s fjords and mountains.
Intensive flying operations will ensure the Commando Helicopter Force is able to effectively operate their aircraft in the Arctic – testing pilots, observers and engineers alike.
All of this work will lead up to Exercise Cold Response – the largest military exercises in the country in 2026, which will demonstrate the unity of NATO and the ability of the alliance to deter threats in the high north.
