Today I was wondering how it would be to meet the wish master, would he or she be good or evil and such things.

This artwork is the result of some of my thoughts, hope you will enjoy it.

Hawker Hurricane Mk.II G-HITT

• Aircraft Type: Hawker Hurricane Mk I.

• Operator: Bygone Aviation Ltd

• Year of Manufacture: 1940

• Powered by: RR Packard built Merlin. 1,460hp

• Colour Scheme: RAF

Hawker Hurricane G-HITT Serial Number P3717 was built in 1940 as one of 544 Hurricanes built as part of the 3rd production batch. She was delivered to 253 Squadron at Kirton in Lindsey on the 13th of July 1940 and was flown by Pilot Officer W M C Samolinski. The unit then transferred to its new base of operations, RAF Kenley, on the 29th August 1940

P3717’s Battle of Britain was brief. After landing and refuelling at Kenley on the 29th the aircraft of 253 were scrambled at 16.00 for a standing patrol. This however proved uneventful. 10.50 am the following day saw a squadron scramble to counter the 3 incoming waves of Albert Kesselring’s Luftflotte 2. Samolinski and P3717 were in the thick of the action and a running fight developed across the south of England. This culminated in Samolinksi and P3717 being credited with the destruction of a Bf110 over Redhill in Surrey. P3717 however was so badly damaged in this action that she had to be returned to Hawkers for significant repairs.

The rework at Hawkers saw her rebuilt to Mk2 configuration and sent to Russia. It was from here that she was recovered on the late 1990’s and the long road to returning to airworthiness started.

2017 is P3717’s debut season and she is based along with her Hurricane Heritage stable mate Hurricane R4118 at Old Warden Aerodrome. Both of these iconic British aircraft serve as a poignant reminder of the nerve, bravery and skill of the young men who flew them and that the Hurricane force destroyed more than twice as many enemy aircraft during The Battle as all of our other defences combined.

The shot was taken at one of the Event Days at Old Warden Airfield and P3717 had a whale of a time the pilot putting heart and soul into the display and continued flying for some time after the other two Hurricanes had come in and landed .

We have had all sorts of Hurricane songs for sight and sound -

This was a view that provided great satisfaction for my soul - It shows the view looking across the East Basin of Lake Burley Griffin to the northeast shore. The starry sky, the navigation lights on the hills, and the shimmering reflections on the lake were all competing for top billing.

The hills are Mount Ainslie on the left and Mount Pleasant on the right. Prominent between them is the Australian American Monument, a column 73m high topped by a stylized eagle.

In the sky, the bright star on the lower left edge is Vega, whilst the bright star in the centre of a group of 3 towards the upper right portion of the image is Altair. The third bright star that makes up the northern hemisphere's Summer Triangle, i.e., Deneb, was just below the horizon. The portion of the heavans between Vega and Altair is known as the Great Rift region of the Milky Way. Unfortunately, the light pollution of the city and the low-light limitations of the Hasselblad camera that I was using prevented this feature from being imaged clearly.

I'm so very glad that I took this photograph to preserve the memory. The experience was such a great way to start this day ... Many components contributed to this sensation. Prominent amongst them was the act of taking a series of long exposure photographs with a Hasselblad V-series camera - it is such a magnificent instrument, largely mechanical, with a heritage harking back to the 1960's. The addition of a digital back is a notable sign of the present era. I would note that I don't review the photographs in detail "in the field". About all that I look at is whether an image has been acquired, that the highlights aren't overly blown-out, and that the horizon in resaonably level! However, the use of a digital back allows me to enjoy the results of my morning photo walk later on the same day and to learn from my efforts without needing to wait a week or so for a film to be finished and developed.

Photography notes ...

The photograph was taken using the following hardware configuration ...

- Hasselblad 500C/M body (1994).

- Hasselblad Acute Matte D 42262 Focusing Screen.

- Hasselblad CFV II Digital Back for Hasselblad V mount camera 16MP (2008).

- Hasselblad 45 Degree Viewfinder PME-45 42297 (2001).

- Carl Zeiss - Hasselblad Distagon 40mm CF T* FLE f4.0 V-series lens (1996).

- Hasselblad 093/40 Hood/Filter holder for 40mm CF lenses - Cat # 40693.

- Hasselblad 93mm 1x HZ-0 Filter - Cat # 51411.

(Year of manufacture indicated in braces where known.)

Acquired the photograph with an ISO of 50, exposure time of 30 seconds, and aperture of f/4.

Post-processing ...

Finder - Removed the CF card from the camera digital back and placed it in a Lexar 25-in-1 USB card reader. Then used Finder on my MacBook Air to download the raw image file (3FR extension) from the card.

Lightroom - Imported the 3FR image. Used the Map module to add the location details to the EXIF header. Applied various adjustments in the Develop module. Output the image as a JPEG image using the "Maximum" quality option (4080 x 4080 pixels). N.B., I would have liked to apply a geometric correction for the lens distortion, but I have observed that this would compromise the important de-banding process that was performed later in the processing sequence using the Topaz DeNoise plug-in (see below).

photoFXlab - Applied the "Topaz Simplify Dust 1" filter. Then applied the "Topaz DeNoise JPEG Light" filter with various custom settings, notably additional color (chromatic) noise reduction and de-banding. Saved the image as a JPEG image using the "Maximum" quality option.

PhotoSync - Copied the JPEG file to my iPad Mini for the final processing steps and posting to social media.

Handy Photo - Used the Retouch tool to attenuate some of the artifacts due to dust and oil on the camera image sensor.

Snapseed - Straightened the image. Applied various lighting and color adjustments. Output an image with 4031 x 4031 pixels.

FrontView - Applied a trapezoidal crop to alter the apparent perspective and to reduce the tendency for elements to "lean" in towards the centre of the image. Output an image with 3919 x 4031 pixels.

Big Photo - Cropped the image to square format and output an image with 3919 x 3919 pixels.

ExifEditor - Copied the EXIF data from the Lightroom output image to the current working image.

On 4 May 1990, the Declaration "On the Restoration of Independence of the Republic of Latvia" was adopted by the country's parliament.

The Freedom Monument is a monument honouring soldiers killed during the Latvian War of Independence. The granite and copper monument in the city core of Riga symbolizes Latvian statehood, national unity, independence and freedom. The monument was funded entirely by donations from residents. It was unveiled on November 18, 1935 as part of sculptor Karlis Zale’s project Shine Like a Star.

The 42.7 meter high monument is made up of 56 sculptures, divided into 13 sculptural groups on four levels, which depict Latvian history and culture. At the base of the monument, the motto For Fatherland and Freedom is inscribed.

At the top of the monument’s obelisk is the nine-meter symbol of freedom – a young woman holding three stars above her head, which symbolize the three historic provinces of Latvia, and national unity.

During the Soviet occupation, no flowers were allowed at the monument and public transport lanes ran on both sides to prevent people from approaching it.

“LEM CONFIGURATION is indicated in this UTC artist’s conception of module blasting off from Moon using UTC aeration throttling…”

Above is per the image caption, as part of an article in the November 12, 1962 issue of “missiles and rockets” magazine, page 12, with the heading:

“Lunar orbit prevails…

Grumman Gets LEM Contract: Apollo spacecraft now complete; RCA, Rocketdyne reportedly in line for major subcontracts on module

by Hal Taylor”

I’ll try to refrain from hyperbole, but this artist’s concept is a unicorn if ever there was one. I’ve seen it less than a handful of times my entire life, the last time being so long ago I can’t even begin to recall. I kid you not, coming across it again brought back the same child-like wonder & excitement - yes excitement – that I had on those rare previous occasions so long ago. It was/is so damned cool, so exquisitely detailed (which is only now evident), and so exotic, alien & classically retro sci-fi in appearance.

Not surprisingly, fittingly actually, it’s by the enigmatic maestro himself, Ludwik Źiemba.

This work would seem to also support Mr. Źiemba’s employment by/contract with, United Technology Corporation, either prior to or concurrently? with Lockheed Aircraft Company.
