One of those rare missions where you enter the warehouse, get the info, and get out, unseen. One of those important missions where the enemy guard must remain alive, so he can tell Cobra Commander that the equipment is still secure. One of those screwed missions where a rat knocks over a rifle while you are hiding behind a nearby crate. One of those missions where you'd prefer to say "to hell with the mandate". But Snake Eyes is patient. The trooper will return to his Candy Crush Saga, and he can complete the objective.
The Commando Memorial is a Category A listed monument in Lochaber dedicated to the men of the original British Commando Forces raised during World War II. It overlooks the training areas of the Commando Training Depot established in 1942 at Achnacarry Castle and unveiled in 1952 by the Queen Mother. It was created by the sculptor Scott Sutherland who won a competition to design the memorial in 1949.
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 plinth. "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.
Nearly missed it! This Lockheed MC-130J Commando II 16-5839 landing at Mildenhall caught me by surprise, and was already past the threshold before I could bring the camera to bear. However, this view shows much interesting rear detail :o))) Including the stowed refuelling drogues in the outer underwing pods, with which these Special Ops Hercs top up the based Ospreys.

Norton's comeback bike, the Commando. Nice looking but very expensive at £15,000. I'd rather have a Triumph. Still, I want one.

This is an overview of the "world map" of Bionic Commando. It shows when entering a certain area:
-What item or upgrade you get (center)
-What gun you should use (bottom left)
-What radio to use (bottom right)
There are two secret paths, they are only opened if you properly interrogate a prisoner in Area 17. The secret paths are shown as "17+."
In Area 8 I wrote "Air Drop" because there's an air drop in that stage that can be infinitely refreshed by repeatedly exiting and entering a nearby door, in case you want to build up continues.
Bionic Commando is a game that's been around me for a long time, I've gone through the Bionic Commando Headquarters at

watched Akumu beat the game a few times, but I never got into it until recently. Now it's one of my favorite NES games.
