Commando heroes are specialized in risky interventions related to terrorism ; they are equipped with military weapons and they are named by a number. This are my previous commando heroes.
Taken at night whilst returning from The Isle of Skye, if you go during the day you will be rewarded with a panormaic view Loch Eil in the west right across the Nevis range to Spean Bridge in the East
I know its been awhile since I updated the progress of the Commando, but its because I have been working on it and all the other things in life that get in the way of motorcycling.
Here you see the front hub polished, along with the rim and freshly Zinc plated spokes.. and a bag full of Nipples.
The Commando Memorial in Lochaber 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.The monument consists of a cast bronze sculpture of three Commandos in characteristic dress complete with cap comforter, webbing and rifle, standing atop a stone plinthThe three Commandos are depicted looking south towards Ben Nevis."United we conquer" is inscribed around the top of the stone plinth, while the original plaque on the stone plinth reads: "In memory of the officers and men of the commandos who died in the Second World War 1939–1945. This country was their training ground."
A Garden of Remembrance, which was subsequently added to the site, is used by many surviving World War II Commandos as the designated final resting place for their ashes.It has also been used as a place where many families have scattered ashes and erected tributes to loved ones who belonged to contemporary Commando units and who have died in more recent conflicts such as the Falklands War or in Afghanistan and Iraq.
