Age-related black plate registration “542 XVG”, spotted outside the historic town of York, imported to the U.K. in 2019.
The loadmaster of CH-47 14-08453 looks down from his hatch as I look up at him while taking a photo from my garden. The US Army Chinook is returning to RAF Northolt in the evening sunshine from another escort mission escorting President Biden in his VH-3s across London. I wonder what he thinks looking down on my neighbourhood?
Pictured is a C130J Hercules aircraft from 47 Sqn RAF Brize Norton on the pan at RAF St Athan, South Wales.
The Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules is derived from an earlier model and has been modified and upgraded to include new Allison AE turboprop engines and Dowty Aerospace six-bladed composite propellers.
The new engines and advanced propellers, coupled with a new digital engine-control system, give the C-130J increased take-off thrust and better fuel efficiency. The aircraft also has a revised flight deck with modern glass-cockpit and head-up displays, allowing two-pilot, flight deck operation. The cockpit of the aircraft is fully night-vision compatible with the use of night-vision goggles.
A separate Air Loadmaster station has been established in the cargo hold. The aircraft has been cleared for wider use in the Tactical Support role.
The defensive-aids suite includes a missile warning system linked to the directional, infra-red countermeasure system, a radar warning receiver and a chaff and flare dispensing system. The defensive system helps protect the aircraft against surface-to-air and air-to-air infra-red seeking weapons that may be encountered during operations.

Chevrolet Loadmaster 6400
1949
Memorial Engine Co
Found this vehicle on the forecourt of a Vehicle Restoration company near Norwich.
Obviously in need of some TLC.
I researched the type and the only picture i could find on flickr was this one:

So it turns out that this is the same vehicle!
It caught my interest and I discovered that American Fire Departments paint vehicles as "Memorial Engine Co" in memory of fallen firefighters that were attached to it.
So this Fire Engine has a story to tell, not only the men remembered by it but its journey to Norfolk, UK.
That story eludes me right now, perhaps we will as the restoration company........
"The Tomahawk II medium lift helicopter provides the Joe team with a highly capable and dynamic workhorse, suitable for transport, assault, rescue, and other tasks. It is crewed by a pilot, a copilot/gunner, typically two side gunners, and optionally a loadmaster; and can carry over a dozen troops into battle. Two side doors and a rear ramp offer quick loading and offloading of supplies or personnel. Defensive weaponry comprises a 20mm multibarrel cannon in a chin turret, two side-mounted 7.62mm machine guns, six bombs, and a pair of air to air or anti radiation missiles."
I never had a Tomahawk as a kid, and I always regretted not buying one when I had a chance. In addition to being an awesome vehicle all around, it would have come in handy so many times when I was playing with my Joes and they needed to insert or extract a patrol behind enemy lines. Maybe I over romanticize the things I never had, but rate the Tomahawk as one of the best G.I.Joe vehicles ever.
www.yojoe.com/vehicles/86/tomahawk/
The Tomahawk was an essential piece of Joe hardware that I have wanted to build for a long time. But like the Cobra Anaconda chopper, which I tackled last year, I had avoided it til because of its overall complexity and specifically because I wasn't sure how to design the cockpit. I finally came up with a cockpit solution I was happy enough with this fall, and got underway properly in December.
The rotors are motorized, which was challenging and fun, as always!
As for other details, the rotors fold, so as to take up as little space as possible, and the wheels all have suspension. There is a rear ramp, side doors, and side gunner hatches. There is a winch that runs through a trapdoor in the bottom of the helicopter, and an interior red light.

96-0005 C-17A [SPOOKY 71 The SPIRIT OF SGT JOHN L LEVITOW]
137th AS / 105th AW Stewart AFB New York ANG USAF.
John Levitow was a Loadmaster who received the Medal of Honor for exceptional Heroism, while serving on board a Douglas AC-47 Gunship call sign SPOOKY 71 on February 24th 1969.
85-0010 Lockheed C-5M operated by The United States Air Force. Daystopping at Prestwick on 19th October 2015, after diverting in from his original destination of Ramstein, Germany. This aircraft had the no. 4 engine was reportedly hit by a surface-to-air missile on 8th January 2005 near Baghdad Airport. The C-5 (operated since 1969) is among the largest military aircraft in the world and the C-5M Super Galaxy is an upgraded version with new engines and modernized avionics designed to extend its service life beyond 2040. Above the plane-length cargo deck, it provides an upper deck for flight operations and for seating 75 passengers including the embarked loadmaster crew, all who face to the rear of the aircraft during flight. Fully openable bay doors at both nose and tail enable "drive-through" loading and unloading of cargo and is capable of accommodating up to six Boeing AH-64 Apache helicopters
Chevrolet Advance Design Truck (1947-54) *Original Engine 216 cu in (3500cc) S6 - now running a 5300cc
Registration Number 798 UXG (London)

Billed as bigger, stronger and sleeker the Advance Design was launched in 1947 and sold with various changes to 1955 when replaced by the Task Force Series. From 1947 until 1955, Chevrolet trucks were number one in sales in the United States, with rebranded versions sold at GMC locations.
The DVLA has this listed as a 1947, but there are inconsistancies which show the 1953 on the number plate to be correct.
IE. The Advance Design was new for 1947, and came with single pain door windows, the vent windows were not introduced until 1951. The hood emblems read "Chevrolet" with "Thriftmaster" or "Loadmaster" underneath. Serial numbers: EP 1⁄2 ton, ER 3⁄4 ton, & ES 1 ton. Which were not changed to 3100 on 1⁄2 ton, 3600 on 3⁄4 ton, 3800 on 1 ton until 1949. By 1953 hood side emblems now only read 3100, 3600, 3800, 4400, or 6400 in large print, it was also the last year of the 216 cu inch straight six engine and the final year to use wooden blocks as bed supports.
For 1954 the two piece windscreen became curved one-piece glass without center vertical dividing strip. Grille changed from five horizontal slats to crossbar design commonly referred to as a "bull nose" grille, similar to modern Dodge truck grille. Engine now 235 in3 straight-6.

The City of Beloit, Wisconsin just completed its transition from manual collection to automated collection. The city's new routes began on June 6, 2016.
For the new automated collection routes, the city purchased a fleet of Loadmaster Eclipse automated side loaders on Peterbilt 320 cabs. These trucks replaced the city's fleet of Lodals.
British troops are pictured onboard a Royal Air Force C-17 transport aircraft enroute to Camp Bastion in Afghanistan.
The C-17 Globemaster III is one of the latest additions to the RAF’s inventory of transport aircraft. It is capable of rapid, strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo to main operating bases anywhere in the world, or directly to more temporary forward operating bases owing to its short field capability.
The design of the aircraft allows it to carry out high-angle, steep approaches at relatively slow speeds, thus allowing it to operate into small, austere airfields onto runways as short as 3,500 feet long and only 90 feet wide. The aircraft can operate into and out of problematic sites such as those surrounded by inhospitable terrain or made difficult by adverse weather conditions.
The fully-integrated, electronic flight-deck and the advanced cargo-handling systems allow a basic crew of only two pilots and one air loadmaster to operate the aircraft. On the ground, the aircraft can be turned in a very small radius and its four Pratt & Whitney engines are fully reversible, giving it the ability to manoeuvre into and out of restricted parking or freight-offload areas at undeveloped strips.
This enables the C-17 to deliver cargo to small airfields with limited parking space in a shorter time, so increasing throughput where time on the ground is kept to a minimum. The C-17 can transport 45,360kgs of freight over 4,500 nautical miles whilst flying at heights in excess of 30,000 feet.
