Sikorsky HRS-3 of Helicopter Utility Squadron 2 (HU-2) lifting a load. Originally a US Marine aircraft it was transferred to the US Navy on 4 June 1957. It crashed in Antarctica on 12 February 1959; all aboard survived.

Some of the thousand or so 4x5" and 6x6cm images (negs) I saved from destruction 30 years ago.
The owner gave me permission to save them as the new buyer of his photo studio didn't want the old photo library.
These are from around 5,000 images that were in a pile on the dirty concrete floor waiting to be taken to the rubbish tip. Many are in poor condition as they are suffering from the 'vinegar effect' but I've been scanning and restoring these for many years now.
Images include New Zealand and US Antarctic bases in the IGY 1957/8, Sir Edmund Hillary, Sir Bob Hamilton and much much more.
This is a decades long project (already) and I will probably never be fully finished.
These original images were shot by Guy Mannering (deceased) and onsold to Warren Jacobs as part of the photo library attached to the business Warren bought. In the mid 1990's, when Warren retired, some friends and I (other photographers), helped him clean up the business for the incoming new owner who didn't want this old library.
When I asked Warren, he agreed that I could have them rather than sending them to the rubbish tip. (Thanks Warren)

The dad hits the water first with his family right behind. They were some of the first folks to jump during the Penquin Plunge held at City Beach in Witefish Montana as part of the City’s annual Winter Carnival. The plunge is held to benefit Special Olmypics and is sponsered by Local Law Enforcement agencies and businesses. Over 130 people jumped and raised more than $40,000! The fourth family member is not pictured. She jumped directly to the waiting firemen.
... looking quite grand!!

FDad Plays to the crowd while the rest of looks a little nervous about their upcoming plunge in to icy waters.

The 'Vital Spark' was made famous through BBC Scotland's local sitcom back in the black and white TV days of the 1960s. Based on the antics of crafty Skipper Para Handy and his motly crew's exploits and escapades running down the River Clyde and out to the Western Islands. Here she is in Inveraray Harbour and has been there since October 2008.
Originally VIC72 - First renamed "Eldessa", and later "'Eilean Eisdeal"
(NB the name "Vital Spark" was fictional but this puffer has now been re-registered as "Vital Spark of Glasgow" )
"Often while traveling with a camera we arrive just as the sun slips over the horizon of a moment, too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our hearts."
This little Penquin did exactly that to me. He was just to cute.

Larry's brother's was set to fly home at noon. But on arriving at the airport, we found that the flight had been cancelled and rescheduled for later that afternoon. Just enough time to squeeze in a visit to the Calgary Zoo! We were delighted to see the Pandas a bit active, and were able to see two penguin chicks enjoying the sun and cold outside. I get to the Zoo several times a year, but never had so many fascinating animal experiences in one visit. We were all a bit sad taking Phil to the airport, but we had an amazing time with him these last few days.
Penguin Watching is big business in Phillip Island....
As soon as I paid $50 for the ticket she then told me that no photograph of any kinds were allowed. Not even using cell phones..
Yet VIP seats were $25 more (not worth it) ....1000+ people come to the beach everynight to and these little penquin coming to shore after the whole day fishing in the ocean.
I went at 5pm as the crowd started rolling in.....We waited till dusk in stadium type of seats (in the rain and cold wind) for the penquins to come on shore. I have seen a total of perhaps 30 of them, most were at a distance, under low lighting...And no pictures to show. Event was well organized with many staffs around to constantly remind people who had "forgotten the rule".
The next day I went to the tip of Phillip Island (Not far from the Penquin show) and found many of their nests right by the boardwalk in board daylight....Free of charge.
For exact location: see map on right.

The man’s belly flop splashed cold water on the women even before they jumped. This was the girl on the end furtherest from the belly flop and as you can see from her expression she got splashed by the icy water. The Penguin Plunge is held at City Beach in Whitefish Montana as part of the City’s annual Winter Carnival. The plunge is a fund raiser for Special Olympics. It is sponsored annually by Local Law Enforcement agencies and businesses.This year (2019), Over 130 people jumped and raised more than $40,000! .
Four girls, some wearing Glacier Highschool Wolpack Swim caps, jump into ice cold water during the Penquin Plunge held at City Beach in Witefish Montana as part of the City’s annual Winter Carnival. The plunge is held to benefit Special Olmypics and is sponsered by Local Law Enforcement agencies and businesses. Glacier High School is in near-by Kalispell.
As it is school holidays, we decided to visit Taronga Zoo in Sydney today as it was supposed to be much cooler than the last few days. We checked the weather forecast and it stated that there was a small chance of showers. It began to lightly rain on the way into the city and although at one stage it looked like it might clear up, it rained steadily all day. We wanted to see the new Tiger exhibition, but when we arrived at the exhibition we saw that there was a 10 to 15 minute wait and as it was raining quite heavily by then, we decided to leave it for another day and made our way home.
I used my plastic poncho to try and keep my camera gear dry, so I ended up looking like a drowned rat LOL.
This little penquin kept swimming madly past where I was standing (in the rain).
After the man’s belly flop, the women finally jump into the icy water. The Penguin Plunge is held at City Beach in Whitefish Montana as part of the City’s annual Winter Carnival, the plunge is a fund raiser for Special Olympics. It is sponsored annually by Local Law Enforcement agencies and businesses.This year (2019), Over 130 people jumped and raised more than $40,000! .
After the jump the cold water can be quite a shock even when you prepeare yourself that it is going to be cold. This girl jumped right to the firemen and they helped get her out. Her face says it all. Brave young lady.
Each jumper responds a little different when they first contact the ice cold water in Whitefish Lake during the Penguin Plunge. One word, though, generally summarizes all the reactions, shock. Seconds after this photo was snapped, this young lady was completely submerged in the icy water. The plunge is \ held at City Beach in Whitefish Montana each year as part of the City’s Winter Carnival. The plunge benefits Special Olympics and is sponsored by Local Law Enforcement agencies and businesses. Over 130 people jumped and raised more than $40,000!
Hundreds of these guys can be found here on this beach.
