Members of the Palestinian civil defence services work on the rubble of the destroyed house of Hamas leader of Nizar Rayan following an Israeli air strike in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip on January 1, 2009. Rayan was killed today with his four wives and two of his children in an Israeli air strike in Gaza, medics said. Rayan, a hardliner within the Islamist group, was killed when a missile crashed into a five-storey house that he shared with his wives and children in Jabalia in the north of the territory, the medics said."photo by Thair alhassany"
Warden Point Battery - Warden Point, Kent.
World War 2 sea defences at Warden Point on the Isle of Sheppey. The pillboxes have fallen in to the sea due to the eroding coastline on the island.
Each of these concrete keys or DALOS BLOCKS weighs eight tonnes. They were designed to break up and absorb the energy of waves in front of a seawall, their arms acting to interlock the units into a network to help spread impact energy.
This is a colour photograph of a row of concrete devices. Each can be viewed as three orthogonal, multi-sided rods: alternatively, a central bar with 'T' cross bars oriented at 90 degrees to each other.
Nuclear power stations have generally been built on the coast so as to ensure uninterrupted supplies of cooling water. However, this creates other problems in that the stations must be defended against storms. Torness in East Lothian was no exception and had sophisticated defences installed.

Hasselblad 503CW on Rollei R3@100ASA developed in CG512 (RLS) 1+4 at 24°C for 23 minutes (Rotation)
Taken using B&W 10 stop neutral density filter to lengthen exposure. I like the mottled brown effect in the water areas and the misty effect around the rocks in the foreground.
The Remote Radar Head Neatishead (RRH Neatishead), is an air defence radar site operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF). Originally known as Royal Air Force Station Neatishead, or commonly RAF Neatishead, it was established during the World War II, and consists of the main technical site located at Neatishead, together with a number of remote, and sometimes unmanned sites.
The station motto is Caelum Tuemur, meaning ''We Watch over the Sky''. The station badge depicts the lowered head of a horned bull; and relates to the origins of the word 'Neatishead', meaning 'the vassal's household'. RAF Neatishead was previously 'parented' (for administrative and support functions) by the nearby RAF Coltishall (a fighter station latterly operating four squadrons of the ground-attack SEPECAT Jaguar). Following the closure of RAF Coltishall in 2006, RRH Neatishead became parented by RAF Marham in West Norfolk.
When RAF Neatishead was first established, its primary function was as a 'Control and Reporting Centre' (CRC) for the south of the United Kingdom. Equipment previously located in the base included: Type 7 GCI, AN/FPS-6 height finding radar, Type 80 'Green Garlic' radar, Type 84 radar, Type 85 'Blue Yeoman' radar, 3 Decca (later Plessey) HF200 height finding radars, and a R15 radar.
On 16th February 1966, a fire broke out in the bunker, RAF station fire teams were unsuccessful in putting the fire out and so local civilian fire crews were called. Three civilian firefighters died and the fire burned for nine days before it was fully extinguished. Later that year, LAC Cheeseman was sentenced to seven years for starting the fire and causing the deaths. The station was closed for eight years, re-opening in 1974 after a major rebuild of the bunker complex.
The operational nature of the work undertaken at Neatishead was transferred to the previously mothballed site at RAF Bawdsey in 1966, with Bawdsey reverting to a care and maintenance programme when Neatishead came back on line in 1974. In November 1982, Group Captain Joan Hopkins took command of the station, becoming the first female RAF officer to take command of an operational station. During July 1990 the Type 85 radar was decommissioned after 23 years of use, it was replaced by the Type 93.
In April 2004, the decision was taken to substantially reduce activities at RAF Neatishead, and by 2006, the base had been downgraded from an RAF station to Remote Radar Head (RRH) status, but its adjacent museum remains open. Its former gate guardian, a F-4 Phantom previously based at RAF Wattisham, was cut up for scrap in 2005 despite interest from the Radar Museum. In October 2006, local news media reported that a buyer had been found for the now disused section of the base. The 25½ acres site was advertised again in January 2010, with an asking price of £4,000,000. The site was subsequently purchased for an undisclosed amount by Zimbabwean-born British entrepreneur William Sachiti.
RRH Neatishead controls the remote site of RRH Trimingham with its Lockheed TPS 77 radar. It forms part of the UK's air defences – namely the UK 'Air Surveillance And Control System' (ASACS), and is part of the larger NATO air defence. RRH Neatishead is adjacent to the RAF Air Defence Radar Museum. In July 2022, it was announced that the radar equipment at RAF Trimingham would be moved 8 miles to the RRH Neatishead site due to the threat of coastal erosion, and the increased interference experienced by radar operators from the off-shore wind turbines; the move was completed by the end of 2023.
