The Bung Tomo class is a class of three Indonesian corvette offshore patrol vessels. They were originally built for the Royal Brunei Navy and named Nakhoda Ragam class corvettes but were ultimately bought by Indonesia and renamed.The class is named after Bung Tomo, a noted leader of Indonesia's independence movement.
The three vessels were built by BAE Systems Marine (now BAE Systems Maritime - Naval Ships). The contract was awarded to GEC-Marconi in 1995 and the ships, a variant of the F2000 design, were launched in January 2001, June 2001 and June 2002 at the then BAE Systems Marine yard at Scotstoun, Glasgow. The customer refused to accept the vessels and the contract dispute became the subject of arbitration. When the dispute was settled in favour of BAE Systems, the vessels were handed over to Royal Brunei Technical Services in June 2007.
In 2007, Brunei contracted the German Lürssen ship yard to find a new customer for the three ships; in November 2012, it was announced that Indonesia had signed a memorandum of understanding with Britain to acquire the vessels for one-fifth of the original unit cost. The ships are now in service with the Indonesian Navy.
The ships were originally armed with MBDA Exocet Block II anti-ship missiles and MBDA Seawolf air defence missiles. The main gun is an Oto Melara 76mm; the ship also carries two torpedo tubes, two 30mm remote weapon stations and has a landing spot for a helicopter.
In late December 2014, KRI Bung Tomo was involved in search and recovery operations of the Indonesia AirAsia Flight 8501 which crashed off the Java Sea between the islands of Belitung and Borneo. Later in early January 2015, the controversial KRI Usman Harun was being deployed to search for the black boxes as the ship was equipped with the Thales Underwater Systems TMS 4130C1 hull-mounted sonar.

The medals were originally each presented to the Unknown Soldiers from WWI, WWII and the Korean War. Hofman had requested that their ribbons be replaced since they had faded due to age. This was accomplished by the 3d US Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) in coordination with ANC Historians. (U.S. Army photo by Elizabeth Fraser / Arlington National Cemetery / released)

A large group of protestors gathered at the various entrances for the Atomic Weapons Establishment, Aldermaston, to protest against Britain’s nuclear weapons system.
These are the flood defences running along The Wharfage in Ironbridge. They had not put the pastic over this section when we got there. I wanted to get over onto the other side but when I was chatting to one of the 'guards' he said that no-one was allowed over that side and even residents had to be escorted through, I couldn't even convince him to escort me through just to take some pictures. Shame really, I though the curve of the defence wall along the street was really photogenic.

There were multiple stone walls and a section of pointy bits of stone sticking up ("known as a ‘Chevaux de frise’" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dun_Aengus ). It would be hard to traverse on foot, forget on a horse.

The Type 95 Radar is a good example of a small transportable Radar. It is a development of the American AN/UPS1 Radar which was first developed in the late 1960's and was introduced into RAF service following trials in 1967. Due to reliability with the AN/UPS1 Radar, Marconi produced an upgraded version, the S259 which entered service with the RAF as the Type 95 Radar in the early 1970's.
Designed as a fully transportable modular Radar, the Type 95 was a significant advance on radars such as the Type 14 Radar, it was designed to replace as a mobile unit. Very soon the new Type 95 Radars, along with the older AN/UPS1 Radars, were being used by 1 ACC (No. 1 Air Control Centre) then based at RAF Wattisham, Suffolk. 1 ACC are the organisation in the RAF responsible for deployed mobile Radar units where ever they are operated in the world.
In addition to the Radars being used in exercises, both in the UK and abroad, numerous operational deployments took place. Type 95 Radars were routinely put to good use as gap-fillers, standing in for main Radars at permanent Air Defence Radar sites along the East Coast of Britain, also Malta and Cyprus when their Radars are undergoing maintenance. RAF Saxa Vord, in the Shetland Islands has one on ''permanent loan'' as it was simply not cost affective to keep on moving it between the UK mainland and the Shetland Islands given the location of that particular base.
Just as they were reaching the end of their useful lives, the Type 95 Radars were to see a new lease of life due to the Falklands crisis in 1982. The outbreak of hostilities saw the Radars rapidly being made available for shipping to the Falkland Islands as part of the preparation to re-establish the British Air Defence network once the Islands were recaptured from the Argentinean forces. By the summer of 1983, a Type 95 was at Ajax Bay, overlooking San Carlos Water with further Radars located at locations such as Byron Heights and Mount Alice. The Type 95's were finally replaced by AR3D Radars though several remained on the Islands as reserves until the early 1990's.
The Type 95 Radar at the RAF Defence Radar Museum illustrates the compact nature of such mobile Radar systems which were meant to be self contained. In practice, such Radars form part of quite a complex site as a lot of other equipment is needed to enable to enable the site to operate. Many of those who served in the Falklands in the 1980's recall sprawling bases with generator, store, messes, accommodation etc - all being subjected to wind, rain, mud and snow. Life at the deployed Radar stations was far from pleasant and most RAF personnel were glad to leave them after their 4 month tour of duty !
