Permission visit to the 237m long Inchindown tanks hidden in the hill from the Nazis for WW2. They was used to store fuel safe from the German bombers and was last used to fuel some of the ships for the Falklands war in 1982. Since then they have been left empty and it now holds the record for the longest echo in the world.
It was quiet an experience to hear the echo inside the tank. The mark on the ceiling running the length of the tank is where they filled the 12m high tank to.
This was a permission visit and can easily be obtained by the group looking after them.
No, the beautifully shiny tank may not be but the reflection of the bike next door is a Moto Guzzi!
Snapped during one of the famous Poole Tuesday evening biker events. Literally thousands turned up and parked along the quayside.

Beautiful shot of the ever-picturesque Ducati 899 Panigale with f/2.8 bokeh goodness. Handheld 1/30s, ISO 8000, with the 6D and 40mm "Pancake" lens.
What an experience! As Turbojoe says, "an epic experience" is to say the least. I was at KSC in the Media area with all the top guns in the business.

Unusual make of vehicle for London Transport, Ex Shell-Mex and BP Ltd. Here with trade plates 047GH. Registered as GXY19.
Interesting design. Bigger head lights might have added to it’s demeanour. Exhaust at front, drivers side!

Andravida, 4 April 2019.
A very clean looking Greek F-16C-52CF (CF for conformal fueltanks) from (I think) Araxos airbase. I don't recognize the squadron.
The photo was taken during a photo day for excercise Iniochos.
I've photographed this garage on numerous occasions and on this particular day I was driving home from work
I had noticed the tanker but for some reason drove past then thought to myself this was an opportunity so I ended up turning back to get some photos despite the weather being awful.
Barbers garage is one thats not really changed over the last three decades which still carries the UK branding which again has been held for the same time period if not longer.

The GT 1300 Junior Zagato was a limited production two seater coupe with aerodynamic bodywork by Zagato (Ercole Spada) of Milan. The model evoked the earlier, race-oriented Giulietta Sprint Zagatos which featured aluminium bodywork and had a very active competition history. However, the Junior Zagato featured a steel bodyshell with an aluminium bonnet and aluminium doorskins (on the earlier 1300 JZ's). The 1300 JZ was not specifically intended for racing and did not see much use in competition. The 1300 JZ was first seen in public at the Turin Motor Show of 1969. In total 1,108 units were constructed of which 2 were destroyed during production because the bodyshells were not within specification. The 1300 was based on the floorpan, driveline and suspension of the 1300 Spider. However, the floorpan was shortened behind the rear wheels to fit the bodyshell. The last 1300 Junior Zagato was produced in 1972 although in 1974 2 more cars were built according to the records.
In 1972 the 1600 Zagato came out of which 402 units were produced. In this case the floorpan was unaltered from the 1600 Spider, so that the normal fueltank could be left in place. As a consequence, the 1600 Zagato is approximately 100 mm (3.9 in) longer than the 1300 JZ. This can be seen at the back were the sloping roofline runs further back and the backpanel is different and lower. The lower part of the rear bumper features a bulge to make room for the spare tire. The 1600 Zagato has numerous differences when compared to the 1300 Junior Zagato. If you ever see two side by side, have a look at the details. The last 1600 Zagato was produced in 1973 and the cars were sold until 1975.

Original 1960 MSFC photo looking down the length of an early probably?/possibly? 105-inch diameter Saturn C-1/I central LOX tank, or one of the eight 70-inch diameter alternating LOX/RP-1 fuel tanks?
Appropriately enough, the view - to me - looks very much like tv test patterns of the time.
This is the second truck to be featured in Arriva's new service fleet livery, but without the trademark 'cow horn' graphics applied to the training fleet. I don't know whether there is a precedent for this; there have certainly been examples of bus companies operating their own fuel tankers in the past. Once again, I am grateful to Martin Vonk for use of his base image (15-May-14).

It's quite rare to see an articulated fuel tanker on the forecourt here at Pitstop Rasen but managed a couple of photos on Sunday morning as the tanks were being filled to capacity ready for the continuation of the rush.
Milvus 2/135 oder HD?
"Das Milvus 2/135 hat Otus-Gene", haben sie gesagt.
Es stellt ab 80cm scharf. Der MF an der EOS-R macht viele Spaß! Gegen das Bokeh kann ich auch nichts sagen. Beindruckende Schärfe, falls man richtig fokussiert hat.
Wenn ich meinen Wunschzettel wieder finde, schreibe ich das Milvus darauf. ;-)
Originally operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), this Canadair CT-133 was built in 1957 and is seen here at RAF Duxford during the 2013 Duxford Air Show.
The Canadair CT-133 Silver Star (company model number CL-30) was the Canadian license-built version of the Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star jet trainer aircraft, in service from the 1950s to 2005. The Canadian version was powered by the Rolls-Royce Nene 10 turbojet, whereas the Lockheed production used the Allison J33.
The appearance of the CT-133 is very distinctive due to the large fuel tanks usually carried on each wingtip. A total of 656 CT-133 aircraft were built by Canadair.
The CT-133 entered service in the RCAF as its primary training aircraft for fighter/interceptors. The RCAF reportedly named it the "Silver Star" in honour of Canada's (and the British Empire's) first flight of a heavier-than-air craft, the AEA Silver Dart. The designation of the Silver Star in the Canadian Forces was CT-133.
The CT-133 was reliable and had reportedly had forgiving flight properties. Its service life in the RCAF (and later the Canadian Forces) was extremely long. One of the more unusual roles it played was as an aerobatic demonstration aircraft, the RCAF's Red Knight.
Although the aircraft stopped being used as a trainer in 1976, there were still over 50 aircraft in Canadian Forces inventory in 1995. The youngest of these airframes was then 37 years old and had exceeded its expected life by a factor of 2.5. During this period, the Canadair T-33 was employed in communication, target towing and enemy simulation.
The final Canadair Silver Star Mk. 3 was retired from the Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment at CFB Cold Lake, Alberta, Canada where it was used as an ejection seat testbed after 46 years of service. - Mainly taken from Wikipedia.

Two Marine Corps helicopters, an AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom, fly past Mount Fuji, Shizuoka, Japan, March 12, 2017. The helicopters are assigned to Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 267, which is supporting Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing and 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force. The Marines validated the long-range capability of auxiliary fuel tanks on their H-1 platform helicopters by flying 314 nautical miles during one leg of the four-day mission. The extended range is crucial to maintaining a stronger, more capable forward-deployed force in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.
