Loading the largest log boat to enter the Port of Nelson, the "Ultra Tradition" This is looking into one of five holds, and then the logs are stacked a further 6m high on the deck after the hatches are closed.
Here we go again with an extract from the first half of August 1971
This offering is mainly from attendance at ATC annual camp which in this case was at the then RAF Bicester in Oxfordshire which was an MU (Maintenance Unit).
Noted out on the airfield was Handley Page Hastings WD490 along with ten of Oxford University Air Squadron's Chipmunks. More would be noted as the week went on.
One hangar was a veritable treasure trove containing various historic RAF airframes - not least the Avro Lancaster R5868 which had been on Scampton's gate and that ended up on display in the RAF Museum at Hendon.
David Cains' father photographed her when at Scampton here: www.flickr.com/photos/ayronautica/34227341423/in/photolis... )
No less than seven Spitfires were there too - some will ring bells with those of you that keep an eye such gems, not least K9942 - now in the RAF Museum at Cosford ( Chris England saw her at Abingdon for the 50th Anniversary of the RAF: www.flickr.com/photos/chrisengland/18273520700/in/photoli... )
Lightning F.6 XR752 was also there - roaded in as Bicester was a grass field - not sure why it was there now but it returned to service not long after (see: Les Rodgers superb shot of here here:
www.flickr.com/photos/91795549@N05/16203154212/in/photoli...
A 'Red Arrows' painted Gnat T.1 XM693 was also in there but it was never a 'Team' member afaik.
A trip out to Old Warden found many of the airframes that still exist and some that are now back in the air, one being Sea Hurricane Z7015 (seen moire recently after rebuild: www.flickr.com/photos/29288836@N00/40152503003/in/photoli... )
plus Spitfire PL983, and the Comet Racer G-ACSS, then non-flying but since painstakingly rebuilt to fly as here: www.flickr.com/photos/29288836@N00/21379718863/in/photoli...
The wonderful Bristol Fighter D8096 was also there

On the 2nd of August we were out on the airfield taking Air Experience Flights in Chipmunks when overhead flew Royal Navy Fairey Gannet T.5 XG882 (incorrectly logged as 382)
(See Simon Brooke's photo here - though she's in a sorry state but still alive: www.flickr.com/photos/133813370@N04/50136638778/in/photol... )
Later on we went by RAF coach to nearby RAF Upper Heyford for a visit to the USAF's 20th TFW where we were shown around the Hangars, the Control Tower and taken by coach around the perimeter track to view then then 'new' USAF F-111E's Aardvarks - then mostly parked outside as in those days the HAS Shelters had yet to be built!
Sadly no photo's were allowed on base bar those taken from the Tower but eight years later I caught 68-0023 at a Greenham Common show: www.flickr.com/photos/29288836@N00/15660471069/in/photoli...
On that visit - immaculate USAF Convair 51-7901 was parked near the Tower: www.flickr.com/photos/29288836@N00/15089277107/in/photoli... and their base SAR Flight Kaman HH-43 Huskie 62-4535 was also seen (Carl Ford caught her there a year later: www.flickr.com/photos/53277566@N06/23043581636/in/photoli... )
As can be seen from the log - a full compliment of 'Swingers' were seen that day and of note are the tail codes used then: JR, JS and JT each for the three Squadron's assigned. They were eventually replaced by the common and representative code 'UH'.
A pair of USAF Flying Club Cherokees were also noted N8557 & N441J
Two days later and we visited RAF Brize Norton where nine Royal Air Force Air Support Command BAC VC-10's including XV106 which I saw at Dulles sixteen years later: www.flickr.com/photos/29288836@N00/49713608873/in/album-7...
plus twelve RAFASC Bristol Britannias including XM497 (The RAF Museum at Cosford has one painted as '497' but in reality it's an ex Civvie machine that I noted there in 2001:
www.flickr.com/photos/29288836@N00/14228263998/in/photoli... )
along with three Short Belfast transports which were all strewn around the Airfield or on the Terminal Apron.
Belfast XR367 provided some Air Experience for us that day where we spent nearly 3 hours bashing the Brize circuit - seated in a small passenger deck that was immediately behind the cockpit and being invited up to view the proceedings - we got stand behind the crew who were busy flying this Leviathan where it was quite something to experience the view from that vast cockpit!
Unfortunately, not so much so for the remainder of the cadets who'd been installed in a pallet of seats situated in the main cargo hold, between the main undercarriage where the wallowing nature of the fuselage turned many of them 'green' round the gills after a matter of just a few circuits!
(here she is two years before taken by Adrain M.Balch - from Dave Haines collection: www.flickr.com/photos/egbj/5619814695/in/photolist-2hLR9j... )
Avro Shackleton MR.2 WR955 was seen there which may have been on the dump?
The 4th saw us back doing AEF at Bicester and a USAF F-100 Super Sabre coded LT from RAF Lakenheath was noted over in Heyford's circuit. A trip in a 'Chippie' took me out cross country for an approach and overshoot at RAF Halton where outside I spotted various Instructional Airframes - amongst them - eight Sea Vixens, a number of Jet Provosts, a Canberra and a Hunter and no doubt the Comet was also seen but not noted on that trip.
RAF Hercules XV308 and a USAF HC-130H 65-0983 were noted in the area (Jim Leslie caught her beautifully Stateside the latter just 4 years later: www.flickr.com/photos/jimandtina99/31870787090/in/photoli... )
and then on the 6th - as senior NCO at the camp I pulled rank and wangled myself yet another ttrip to Heyford where I filled in several gaps of 'missing' F-111's from my previous trip!
Heading home by a fellow ATC member's VW Beetle we stopped at Heathrow where Gulfstream II N375PK was noted along with Malaysian Singapore Airline's Boeing 707 9N-BBB
At Gatwick we found Aviognex's Tupolev Tu-134 YU-AJA and then a few days later it was back to work at Heathrow via Gatwick where Caledonian Cargo B707 G-AYZZ was noted ( Carl Ford caught her there: www.flickr.com/photos/53277566@N06/16403356436/in/photoli... )
along with Gulfstream II N205M, 5Y-AHE Cessna 337, DC-8 N4906C and Westland Whirlwind G-ATIU

Now I don't know if the boat was tied to the log in some way, but they looked pretty good in the water together. Maldon, Essex.

Another curved Log Cabin design. This little quilt is about one third of a design by Georgia Bonesteel. Many of the logs finish at half an inch, which is why I only did one third of the design :) This one is hanging right here next to my computer!

Breton Iron and Steel Village.
Au cœur de la grande forêt de Quénécan, à quelques kilomètres du lac de Guerlédan, se niche une des forges à bois les plus anciennes et les mieux préservées de Bretagne. Un vestige exceptionnel d’une activité prospère et industrielle pendant près de trois siècles.
L’activité de la forge s’est arrêtée en 1877 mais le village a continué à vivre et le voici aujourd’hui entièrement restauré.
At the heart of the great forest Quénécan, a few kilometers from Lake Guerlédan, is nestled one of the oldest and best preserved wood forges in Brittany. An exceptional vestige of a prosperous and industrial activity for almost three centuries.
The activity of the forge stopped in 1877 but the village continued to live and here it is now fully restored.
On the Maumee River Dam in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Aka, Hosey Dam, after Ft Wayne mayor, William J. Hosey.
Denby Dale in West Yorkshire is notable for massive celebration pies but on this occasion it was for a massive bonfire built almost on the log cabin principle. There's a small child on there that I recognise from the past.
Wonky Log Cabin swap quilt. 11 of us exchanged blocks, and then we assembled them into quilt tops. Jerry wanted it in his office so he pushed me to finish it quickly, so mine was the only one at the "reveal" that was completed. Others will be finished soon. :)

Mud Cobra Field.
17 Degrees North
of Equator, Earth..
That's right we made it to the m/c field
around daybreak, March 24 2024 AD.
The field tractor has not been in here
in quite sometime. Grass as high as
me while sitting in the saddle ;-0-
Everything is soaking wet and
every mosquito in Thailand
is just waiting for my soft
flesh. In other words,
it was a lot of fun !
Mr Boney is being a Baloney while
Pumpkin Pie is waiting on her ride.
The Monkey is still racing around
peeing on every twig and stone.
It was a tough go getting through
all the tall grass and smashing
into the low hanging bows !
After 71 minutes we loaded up
and headed back to base camp.
Dogs are given a soapy bath,
fed and put to bed. I'm next ;-)
Thanks for stopping by
and leaving your words.
Mr PB has the donation link
up and running just fine now.

Everything is okay. Workers rebeled with us, and the Empire forces are now eliminated. Fretz is leading the last prisonner. We have all a little break. The Empire will make a counter-attack soon, it's sure ....

The Great Bear Wilderness, Scape Goat Wilderness, and Bob Marshall Wilderness.....
Website: Montana Office of Tourism
The Great Bear Wilderness is located in northern Montana, United States, within Flathead National Forest Created by an act of Congress in 1978, the wilderness comprises 286,700 acres (1,160 km²) and borders the Bob Marshall Wilderness on the north. The Great Bear and Bob Marshall Wildernesses, along with the Scapegoat Wilderness which borders the Bob Marshall to the south, collectively form the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex, which is over 1.5 million acres (6,070 km²) of almost untouched landscape. Glacier National Park is separated from the Great Bear Wilderness by U.S. Highway 2.
U.S. Wilderness Areas do not allow motorized or mechanized vehicles, including bicycles. Although camping and fishing are allowed with proper permit, no roads or buildings are constructed and there is also no logging or mining, in compliance with the 1964 Wilderness Act. Wilderness areas within National Forests and Bureau of Land Management areas also allow hunting in season.
The Great Bear is located west of the Continental Divide which forms the eastern boundary. Great Northern Mountain (8,705 ft/2,653 m) is the highest peak in the wilderness which is dominated by dozens of other mountains, all part of the Rocky Mountain Front, a huge overthrust fault that spans for 400 miles (643 km) through Canada and Montana. Great Bear is the origination point of the wild and scenic designated Middle Fork of the Flathead River, which flows for 50 miles (80 km) through the wilderness and is rarely visited.
In the valleys a dense coniferous forest is dominated by various species of spruce, pine and fir. Living up to its name, the wilderness is prime grizzly bear habitat and has some of the most dense populations of the species anywhere in the lower 48 states. Black bears are more common however and there is a sizable number of black bears that are cinnamon colored here, which are often mistaken for grizzlies. Other mammals found in the wilderness include lynx, wolverine, mule deer, elk, moose, mountain goat, and bighorn sheep. There are few lakes in the wilderness, but over 500 miles (800 km) of named streams and rivers.
300 miles (480 km) of hiking trails exist in the wilderness, but many of them are poorly maintained. Much of the interior sections have no trails at all requiring travelers to have to bushwack. Visitors are urged when entering this remote landscape to be well versed in outdoor survival skills, have knowledge of the use of map and compass and to make sure someone knows where you're going and when you'll be back. Even on maintained trails frequent stream crossings are common and can be especially dangerous, particularly in the spring during snowmelt. For the most part, winter snows have completely melted by mid May, although higher terrain may continue to have small snowfields year round. Summertime brings pesky mosquitos and thunderstorms which often produce more lightning than rain. The winters are often bitter with deep snowfalls and frigid temperatures. This is a wilderness for the experienced adventurer but guided packtrips are available.
I usually buy a Yule Log cake from our local bakery, sadly they didn't make them this year, so I had to make one myself.
we drove an hour+ to buy a pair of snow boots for e today and sang carols on the way home after dark.
i don't mess around with 2nd hand boots any more. anything rated at less than 40 below just doesn't cut it.
This photo is wintery scene and shows the store of logs for the winter. The photo is atmospheric and the inside of the trunk brings colour to the photo.

Pity the poor ash tree, plagued by the emerald ash borer, and cut down in its prime all over this state.
Just a random capture from my archives showing this empty frigid beach in Pennsylvania back in March. I have plenty of unprocessed photos in my archives so I need to unload some. Maybe this will cool some of you of whoever is exposed to heat right now. I was debating whether to do this in black and white or color but I think I managed to get the colors out of this to pass my rigorous criteria.
I just corrected the color a little I think I made it too dull looking after looking at it I knew I messed. I corrected my exposure. So I hope this is a little better scene and I came up with a different version that I will upload in a minute. Lack of software and glitches here in the office prevented me from achieving my goal :(
Have a blessed day everyone!
