UK Defence Helicopter Flying School Eurocopter Juno HT1 ZM522 landing at Gloucestershire Airport on 19th May 2023.
Here's a shot I took a few weeks ago while visiting New Brighton and Sheldrakes with a couple of good photographer friends. These are the sea defence groynes which are located just below the lifeguard station on New Brighton's Promenade.
A very colourful kite trapped in the sea defence at Hayling Island, Hampshire. It brightened up a very dull and blustery day.
One from last April and an early rise for a visit to Spurn Point.
No direct light, but a bit of colour in the sky.

A trip back to North Norfolk back in November, and a much better than expected sunrise at Cromer. I believe they have beefed up the see defences at Cromer and the rock ‘island’ is part of that?
An anti submarine boom at Shoeburyness in Essex; a line of concrete post stretching out for 2km across the north shore of the Thames Estuary.
Sea Defences and The Redcar Beacon
The sea defences and Beacon were part of a £75m redevelopment of the town's seafront (2013)

The Northumbrian coast is littered with the remnants of World War 2 anti tank defences. This image was taken on a stormy morning before dawn on Alnmouth Beach.

Yep, again lovely wintery conditions up there. This one with a bit higher key, hope you like guys ; ) thanks everyone for passing by and taking the time to comment as always very much appreciated.
Dr Miasma wearing his Local Defence Volunteer steel helmet and shouldering his ray rifle, in preparation to repel a possible second Martian invasion.
This is the WWII 'Zuckerman' civilian steel helmet that I bought at Daresbury steam fair back in July, sprayed black and with the addition of a liner. I have tried to keep the design of the liner as close to that of the original as possible, though I had to make some guesses since I only had images on Google to work from. The 'Local Defence' stencil with the broad arrowhead is totally made up, although the WWII British 'Home Guard' were originally referred to as the Local Defence Volunteers.
Finally, I have just realised that I'm starting to look like my dad. Scary thought!
A swift and agile gun sloop for coastal and port defence. In a calm, such sloops may attack becalmed vessels, which are helpless to return fire. The 18 pounder at its bow can punch holes in all but the largest vessels, and the small mortar at the stern gives some extra firepower for long range engagements.
Apart from the 10 oars, the gun sloop is a swift sailor. The lug sail and mast can be stowed when not in use.
Sheringham, Norfolk
Stark and rugged, rock and concrete sea defences at Sheringham. A guy looks out over the windswept scene, keeping watch...maybe, spots the photographer.....a potential invader....maybe....but for just for one week.
