Almost done for the season! All the volunteers and most of the staff are finished for this year. Just the shippers remain, but have a break right now until January 7th. The remainder of all the shoebox gifts are destined for West Africa. We will start to ship on January 9th. I will be part of this, along with my son.
Happy New Year, my Flickr friends! I will be out of the country on a road trip until January 6th.
Hard to tell here, but the light is extremely low in this very cool old stone recreation center, so hard to get descent photos for me.
Annual Operation Wildlife Eagle Days at Wyandotte County Park. Wonderful organization that takes in injured and abandoned wildlife and nurses them back to health then releases back into the wild. Some that can't be released participate as educational ambassadors for their species.

It's that time of the year again when we are preparing the Warehouse to receive volunteers to help put together shoe boxes for children around the world in less fortunate countries.
I am proud to be working on Staff for my 3rd year.
In organising this stealth operation times were agreed, watches synchronised and 4 troops would meet at the given time.
Officer Dixon and Fly by the seat of his pants Pedlar had assembled at the RV point, yet no signs of the other 2 soldiers.
Polite whistling was exchanged between OD & FP to while away a bit of time, but still no show.
So the two dedicated soldiers decided to put on their combat equipment, namely wellies and set off alone on this mission.
As the two soldiers were almost approaching the venue to be photographed, their attention was drawn to a lady several metres up the cliff face sitting at a table of the Port William pub, waving her arms in an uncoordinated manner, shouting “get up here, my glass is empty again, your round”.
So the two soldiers duly obliged where they joined Christine and Dave.
With glasses charged a thoroughly enjoyable 4 way conversation ensued in one of the most idyllic drinking locations on the north coast of Cornwall.
Following a whole load of banter it was felt while we were still able to walk we had better head down and see what we could load onto our memory cards at Trebarwith Strand.
So good to meet up again Christine, Dave and Mark.
Hope you all have a great weekend out there in Flickerland.
I so appreciate you viewing my photos and leaving the comments and banter

A bit of annual leave meant I had the chance to grab a shot of one of ScotRail's Class 320's heading for TBOX work, which I also took as an opportunity to try and new spot overlooking a lesser used bit of track.
ROG's long-term hire in from DRS - 57312 - is seen traversing the chord linking the Argyle LIne and Rutherglen West Junction. Behind it is 320304 bound for Brodie Engineering to receive a Time Based Overhaul (TBOX) and repaint.
The backdrop at this spot is dominated by the M74 running above Rutherglen Railway Station. The bridge this was captured from also offers views of the WCML and the old island platform once part of Rutherglen station.
I wouldn't say this shot is anything worth shouting about and am posting it more as a record shot as well as a reference point for anyone else thinking of using this spot. I reckon a slightly better angle could be found if the signal wasn't where it is, but we make do with what we find.
Following Operation Crayfish, surveillance team from the Combined Anti-Terrorism Task Force continued to surveil a courier of a known arms dealer.
The task force also receive intelligence that the courier would be meeting a financier travelling on a fishing yacht named Blue Moon. This intelligence was confirmed as the surveillance team followed the courier to a dock where he boarded a fishing boat and traveled out to sea. The courier was also seen boarding the yacht and met with the financier.

Canadian Forces Snowbirds fly over Edmonton on their cross country tour to salute front line healthcare workers and all Canadians doing their part to fight the spread of Covid-19 - dubbed OPERATION INSPIRATION. Heather and I saw the CT-114 Tutors fly almost directly over our house at 14:37 in the Snowbird signature formation called BIG DIAMOND. Two days later, on May 17th, Snowbird 11 crashed shortly after takeoff in Kamloops, BC. We mourn the death of Captain Jenn Casey and hope for the speedy recovery of Captain Richard MacDougall.

Final part of Operation Alcatraz.
"You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world."- Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower.
80 years ago today, the largest land, air, and sea invasion in the history of the world took place. After years of careful planning and deception, the Allied powers began the invasion of Nazi occupied Europe. In the early morning hours of June 6th, 1944, American and British paratroopers descended from their planes into the towns of Normandy to secure strategic towns and bridges, while the Allied navy was transporting the ground forces across the English Channel. The Americans would land at Omaha and Utah beaches, while the British and Canadians would land at Gold, Sword, and Juno beaches. They were also accompanied by free French, Dutch, Greek, Norwegian, Polish, Czech and others from occupied nations. A total of 156,000 of allied troops would take part in the invasion.
Upon landing, the Allies would encounter fierce German resistance, and the defenses of the Atlantic Wall. Despite suffering heavy casualties, the landings were successful. The Germans did not expect landings at such a scale to take place in Normandy, and instead prepared for landings at Calais. Within months, much of France would be liberated, with few remaining German holdouts. By the end of the invasion, a total of 1.4 million allied troops would be in France, with more on the way. The success of the invasion would pave the way for the eventual end of the war against Nazi Germany.

That may pop out
And cause someone surprise
Don't worry
There won't be much blood
It will be quick, he'll never know
That his ticking part
His missing part
Is something that has to go

Intelligence obtained from Operation Blue Moon indicated that an exchange of radioactive material will be taking place in the Middle East in an area within the Russian sphere of influence. Additionally, intelligence suggested that the Russian arms dealer, codename Panther, will be personally at the exchange.
To capture the radioactive material and the High Value Individual Panther, a Victorian special operations task force was assigned with the operation. As soon as the task force arrived at the forward operating base Camp Oasis, they immediately made preparations for the upcoming operation.

If you have the chance and the time, visit the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier museum in San Diego's harbor. Take the time for the guide island tour. On the command center for flight deck operations you will find the list shown in the picture. Quite interesting detail you will get on the ready room's tour, all the names are pilots which are died, missing or get captured.

And BAM! Three days before Brickcon. Excuse the indecent photo; I've been butchering my time into education, building, packing, writing, and food. Moving left to right, we have a mutated survivor, a typical farmer who had the time to make it into the city before everything went awry, a stay-at-home dad, hazardous environment officer, and the Medici brothers. Onto vehicles, we have a billboard (which will have an image on it, just wait a few days,) a small buggy, which is a personal favorite toy among my collection, and an anti-aircraft cannon. Why a cannon? Well why not?
See you guys there!

A Victorian special operations task force was assigned to ambush an exchange of radioactive material and capture a high value individual (HVI) codename Panther, a Russian arms dealer.
The tasks were assigned to the TF through drawing straws. The assault team consisted of Team 8, the Squadron Master Chief (Callsign Orca-minor), and two machine gunners from Team 7. The extraction team consisted of Team 55 with Squadron Commander (Callsign Orca-actual), and a fire support section from the Special Operations Regiment. The extraction team are mounted in two GMV, one LAV-FSV, one LAV-ICV, and one HMWV Cargo. The remaining operators from Team 7 in two HH-60 Pave Hawks would be the QRF and positioned at FOB Spade. Video links with the Task Force's TOC, Victoria’s National Command Centre (NCC), United States’ Situation Room and United Kingdom’s COBRA were also setup to monitor the mission on the day of the exchange.
As the assault team patrol to the exchange site after being inserted into the AO by high altitude high opening (HAHO) insertion, the extraction team departed the staging base and arrived at a rendezvous point.

The 2017 field season was record-breaking for Operation IceBridge, NASA’s aerial survey of the state of polar ice. For the first time in its nine-year history, the mission, which aims to close the gap between two NASA satellite campaigns that study changes in the height of polar ice, carried out seven field campaigns in the Arctic and Antarctic in a single year. In total, the IceBridge scientists and instruments flew over 214,000 miles, the equivalent of orbiting the Earth 8.6 times at the equator.
The mission of Operation IceBridge, NASA’s longest-running airborne mission to monitor polar ice, is to collect data on changing polar land and sea ice and maintain continuity of measurements between ICESat missions. The original ICESat mission launched in 2003 and ended in 2009, and its successor, ICESat-2, is scheduled for launch in the fall of 2018. Operation IceBridge began in 2009 and is currently funded until 2020. The planned overlap with ICESat-2 will help scientists connect with the satellite’s measurements.
