Mil Mi-8T (c/n 223???)
Maldivian Coast Guard
Guraidhoo (Thaa Atoll)
16 February 1992
Not very much is known about this Mil Mi-8T helicopter, except that it was sometime delivered to the Indian Air Force as Z2839, and eventually loaned to the Cost Guard Air Wing of the Maldives National Defence Force.
Still serialled Z2839 and wearing Indian Air Force colours but a Maldivian roundel, it was seen basking in the sun at Guraidhoo, spending at least some shadow for its crew members.
Z2839's further history is largely unknown, except that it was reported back with the Indian Air Force in 1996. As the type was generally retired with the Indian Air Force in December 2017, it is safe to assume that Z2839 has been stored and possibly dismantled or scrapped.
Guraidhoo Heliport is no longer active, after Thimarafushi Airport on nearby Thimarafushi Island in the Thaa Atoll was openend in 2013. Transport to the airport is via speedboat, and there are now also air taxi float planes.

This mech came to me Dec. 2019, and on uptil now (June 2020) i have done 10 to 15 robots and mechs, i will upload in the near future, for your enjoyment!
The idea behind this one, is a farmers rebuilt farmermech, for defense against alien invasion. it was meant to part of my 'Predator* series, (you can see the first parts in my stream), but due to pandemic restrictions as you know all events was cancelled, and i stopped building for baseplate displays....... bla bla bla
Here is a mech, enjoy! ;-))
Eighth and last round of Rogue Olympics 2024, as always with a piece count limit of 101. Topic is "focus" or the german word "Fokus". In Germany you can also call it "Brennpunkt" and since I like to interpret topics a bit I thought about "Brennpunktviertel" which means something like "deprived districts". So I built a small scene of a woman defending the trailor park and her home from being cleared. The scene is a free interpretation of the clearing of the Bambule trailer park in Hamburg in 2002.
I always wanted to build a huge gattling and finally took the opertunity and build it :) I hope you like it!
Keris is an asymmetrical dagger in Malay Archipelago culture, which is famous for its distinctive wavy blade (although many have straight blades as well). Its distinctive blade-patterning achieved through alternating laminations of iron and nickelous iron (pamor).
Air to air image of a RAF F-35B Lightning ll aircraft, from Edwards Air Force Base in California, USA. Where it is stationed with 17 (Reserve) Squadron.
The F-35B Lightning II will place the UK at the forefront of fighter technology, giving the Royal Air Force a true multi-role all weather, day and night capability, able to operate from well-established land bases, deployed locations or the Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carriers.
Lightning II has been designed from the outset to carry out a wide range of mission types, able to use its very low observable characteristics to penetrate Integrated Air Defence Systems and strike a number of types of targets. In a permissive environment, Lightning II is able to carry weapons on external pylons, as well as in the internal weapon bays. This will allow a maximum weapon payload of 6 Paveway IV, 2 AIM-120C AMRAAM, 2 AIM-132 ASRAAM and a missionised 25mm gun pod.The Lightning II design applies stealth technology manufacturing techniques and, to minimise its radar signature, the airframe has identical sweep angles for the leading and trailing edges of the wings and tail, and incorporates sloping sides for the fuselage and the canopy.

"The Skåne Line (Swedish: Skånelinjen), popularly known as the Per Albin Line (Swedish: Per Albin-linjen) after then-Prime Minister Per Albin Hansson, was a 500 kilometer long line of light fortifications erected during World War II around the coast of southern Sweden to protect the country from a possible German or Soviet invasion. It stretched from Halland across Skåne to Blekinge and consisted of two defensive lines:
First defensive line: concrete bunkers along the shore, armed with machine guns and light cannons.
Second defensive line: armed troops 300 meters inland behind barbed wire, some in concrete bunkers.

No information at all on this vehicle.
Nothing on the DVLA website appears for this registration.
It looks like Plaxton Panther body work.
I reckon its an MOD (Ministry of Defence) vehicle similar to FE14 DGF which I have photographed and is believed to be MOD.

Old gun defences at the entrance to Hull marina, Kingston Upon Hull, East Yorkshire, England.
Lydd Ranges is a military firing range south of Lydd, in Kent, England. It extends as far as the coast.
It has been used for military training for over 150 years and is part of the Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay Site of Special Scientific Interest.Because the range is used for live firing access is sometimes restricted - red flags are flown during these times, access is prohibited along the foreshore and Galloways Road. Also red lights are shown at restricted times due to poor weather. The Danger area extends out to sea and mariners sailing to and from Rye Harbour must pass south of the Stephenson Shoal to avoid it. Firing occurs about 300 days a year. When firing is not carried out, it may be possible to walk along a designated path along the shore

This is part of unseen 2022, my annual look back through the year via pictures that did not make it to Flickr the first time around
I had a trip to Arbroath to catch the sunrise, it didn't really come to much, but what did take my notice was the work going on to reinforce the sea wall defences, the JCB's and dump truck were well at it. So its not very often you see this, so thought I would post it.
