Before concluding its mission on 15 September 2017, Cassini captured one last view of a lone ‘propeller’ feature, one of many such small-scale dynamical features created by small moonlets embedded in the rings as they attempt, unsuccessfully, to open gaps in the ring material.
The image was taken on 13 September 2017 with the wide-angle camera at a distance of 676 000 km from Saturn. Image scale 3.7 km. It is among the last images Cassini sent back to Earth.
The Cassini–Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA and the Italian Space Agency.

In the late 1950s, the Royal Navy operated the piston-engined Douglas A-1 Skyraider from its aircraft carriers in the AEW role. However, the Skyraider was a design that originated during the Second World War. It entered service with the RN in 1951 but, owing to its World War II vintage, would be considered obsolete by the late 50s. As a consequence, the Royal Navy issued its directive AEW.154 to begin planning for a replacement for the Skyraider. The aircraft considered most suitable for this were seen as those already under development for the Navy's GR.17/45 Specification for a new anti-submarine aircraft, of which the front runners were the Blackburn B-54/B-88 and the Fairey Type Q/17. In this competition, it was the Fairey Aviation aircraft that proved the winner, eventually entering service as the Gannet.[1]
AN/APS-20 Radar Scanner
The intention was to use the Gannet as a stop-gap measure prior to the acquisition of a new, purpose built system intended to be used on the planned new generation of aircraft carriers. As a consequence, it was intended to undertake as little in the way of modification as possible - the AN/APS-20 radar[2] from the Skyraider would be mounted in a radome under the fuselage of an ordinary Gannet AS.1, with the associated electronics and space for two operators inside.[3] However, the size of the radome meant that the existing airframe was too close to the ground to accommodate the radar, and so a significant modification to the fuselage was required. This involved removing the observer's cockpits and creating a new cabin within the fuselage; this was accessed via a pair of hatches next to the trailing edge of the wing, which also meant that the exhausts had to be moved from this position to the leading edge; increasing the total area of the vertical stabiliser to compensate for the instability caused by the radome; and extending the length of the undercarriage to increase the clearance for the radome, which consequently increased the aircraft's overall height by 3 ft (1 m), and gave the aircraft a more level stance than the anti-submarine version.[3] Such were the extensive modifications required that, in December 1954, it was suggested that the AEW version be renamed as the Fairey Albatross, as it was to all intents and purposes a completely different aircraft from its ASW predecessor. As it was, by the time the Gannet AEW was entering service, the ASW version was in the process of being replaced, avoiding any potential confusion.[1]
The prototype Gannet AEW.3 first flew in August 1958, with carrier trials taking place using HMS Centaur in November, and the first production aircraft delivered in December. By August 1959, 700G Naval Air Squadron was formed as the Trials Unit for the new Gannet. This unit put the aircraft through an intensive test programme to make it ready for operation service, a process that lasted until January 1960, at which point the unit was renamed as 'A' Flight of 849 Naval Air Squadron. 849A Flight was then declared operational and was embarked for the first time in HMS Ark Royal.[4] A total of 44 Gannets were ordered for the Royal Navy to replace the Skyraider.

My model is plane XL450 of 764 squadron. It is currently in a museum in Germany.
I really wanted to add the folding wings and motorization to my gannet model. The motor was a HUGE pain to fit in as the battery box is 4 studs wide exactly. I am really happy with the way it turned out and the functionality make its really fun to swoosh.
I am editing more photos right now and will hopefully have them uploaded by tonight and if not then they should be up Tuesday or Wednesday.
Enjoy,

Peggy is wearing my new creation inspired by Pierre Cardin's futuristic space age designs. Cardin loved circles, incorporating them into so many of his creations so I took inspiration from that and from various different looks he created. The circles are stiffened with Diamond Glaze glue and attached to the dress panels using fusible web. They can be worn in a variety of ways. This design reminds me of an airplane propeller - I hope Cardin would have approved!

A child's propeller toy, you pull the yellow handle which pulls a string which is wrapped around a pulley which spins the propeller, which then speeds up and t takes off. In fact this description takes longer to read than the action.
