3/4 view of the U.S. Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird's rudder and elevator control surfaces.
No reconnaissance aircraft in history has operated globally in more hostile airspace or with such complete impunity than the SR-71, the world’s fastest jet-propelled aircraft. The Blackbird’s performance and operational achievements placed it at the pinnacle of aviation technology developments during the Cold War.
This Blackbird accrued about 2,800 hours of flight during 24 years of active service with the U.S. Air Force. On its last flight, March 6, 1990, Lt. Col. Ed Yielding and Lt. Col. Joseph Vida set a speed record by flying from Los Angeles to Washington D.C. in 1 hour, 4 minutes and 20 seconds, averaging 3,418 kilometers (2124 miles) per hour. At the flight’s conclusion, they landed at Washington Dulles International Airport and turned the plane over to the Smithsonian.

Control Tower at RAF Dwavidstow Moor.
This airfield was built and used from 1942-1945 and was the highest airfield in the UK at 294 meters.
The airfield was used mainly by Coastal Command.
All the skew gears fitted. For some unknown reason Philips made them so that the potentiometer is fully clockwise when the control is at the bottom of its travel, thus meaning many of the potentiometers are reverse log law.

Second version of the PF powered train, controlled by an Mindstorms EV3.
In the previous version, it was not possible to access the charging plug at all. Making it impossible to recharge the battery.
In this version, this problem has been solved. The access to the charging plug is now under the easy-to-remove roof of the train.
In this photo you see the power cable connected.
When I was dogsitting last week at the parents house I decided to bring some of my stuff back up with me (not that I have room for it). This is my favorite radio controlled vehicle, the Traxxas Rustler. It is over 10 years old now, but still screams. Bought a few new 1800 mAh batteries, threw them on the peak charger, and hit the street. Unfortunately after six years of sitting in my parents basement a few screws came lose and I broke a universal joint.. not to worry, should be back up and running in no time. Such a fun hobby. I wonder if our apartment would let me use my boats in the pool?
Opened: 1965
Original owner: Toprank
Current Owner: Moto
Location: M6 J32/33
Then:
Opened as Forton, now known as Lancaster (Forton)
Trivia:
Very distinctive from the road- features a round tower that resembles a Air Traffic Control Tower, which originally was a restaurant, currently in use as offices. The tower is called The Pennine Tower.
An employee of Forton said that the Pennine Tower closed after complaints that it looked like an UFO when lit up at night and was distracting- (Sounds like an urban myth, but its a great tale, It is more likely that the services became too busy to handle the number of visitors- can anyone shed any light on this). Also we are curious to know when it closed?
Update: Eddy Rhead writes: "The tower is closed for that modern malaise Health and Safety! Apparently you need two alternative exits in case of a fire and with just one lift and one staircase coupled with a kitchen the risk is just too high."
We should have guessed it would be health and safety....
Eddy adds: " I have always said that come the end of the world and the human race has to start again, the early travellers will come across Forton tower in the middle of Lancashire and wonder at its meaning - in Planet of the Apes type thingy. Probably! "
