British WWII Air raid shelters

Dawn raid - Summer sunrises are always a challenge. The first dawn raid in what seems like ages - Blea Tarn and the Langdales with mist swirling over the water's surface with mirror perfect reflections to complete the scene.
Well worth the ridiculously early start and being at the tarn's shoreline from 0457.
Lake District, Cumbria
An abandoned Stanton Air Raid Shelter in young woodland near Alford, Lincolnshire, UK. This was probably part of the Air Base RAF Strubby during World War II.
The Raid - While driving through a very urban area, I noticed a large mass of birds descending into some Pyracantha bushes. I first thought they were starlings/robins, but a closer look at the stoplight revealed they were waxwings. I pulled into the parking lot and waited. The low temperatures and concentration of food drove the waxwings to feed in close proximity to pedestrians, so I seized the opportunity to document and photograph a stunning gathering of ~300-500 of these birds all feeding on low lying berry bushes. Isolating one bird at this proximity was impossible, so I tried to capture behavioral group shots. They were in such a feeding frenzy that berries were flying and they were even retrieving them from the road and flying just a few feet from where I was sitting. I suspect they were quite intoxicated as well. A Cooper's Hawk briefly disrupted their feeding, but they resumed to feed even in the heavy hail at which point I left.
A treat to observe these beautiful masked bandits up close and to finally capture images and footage of this species that do them justice!

Le anatre si sono accalcate per accaparrarsi la loro parte del cibo che viene buttato in acqua da volenterosi pensionati. Improvvisamente ecco un attacco dal cielo da parte di decine di gabbiani pronti ad inserirsi nella spartizione.
I watched a jay raiding the nest of a blackbird. It systematically removed the moss that was hiding their chick...it then got the chick and went off with it. Fascinating to watch & it was being harassed by the blackbird parents throughout. Nature in all it's gory glory.
.
Tweaked my back last night so rather than the walk I had planned for this morning, I sat in the back yard.
This Ladder-backed Woodpecker came along.
I was really surprised when it jumped from the tree to the hummingbird feeder and stayed there awhile.
It managed to get seated on the feeder's platform and stayed.
Today was the day I was going to replenish the sugar water in the feeder so when he left I checked it, thinking that he must have been feasting on ants. But there weren't any ants, he was just drinking.
Another constructive use for that needle nose bill, drinking from the hummer feeder!
I wish I had caught focus better.

‘Bam!’
Black one “Room clear”
Black three “Target located!”
Black two “Base from black two, it’s confirmed we’ve got him, I repeat, we’ve got him”
Got the feeling I wanted to try and build some nice modern scene, I’ve always liked the ones here on Flickr, but rooms/building have never been my thing to build, and I’ve never got the parts either.
But when I started this it actually felt good, and I’m pretty proud how it turned out, hope you’ll like it!
Inspired by what the tagged people do.
every morning these guys come in and raid the peanuts left out for the Jay. There are three and they do nothing but bicker with each other. They used to take the peanuts away to stash them now they just bury them where they find them.
Reeuwijk Raid 2011 (sailing race on the 'Reeuwijkse plassen', The Netherlands).
This image was taken by a camera lofted by a kite. The weather was difficult: frequent strong wind gusts and heavy showers. The weather changed for the better at the end of the race, allowing this shot where the participants are moored to a small yellow buoy.
Best viewed large. The rest of this series can be viewed on www.fotovlieger.nl

A post-collapse Black Ops team is performing a raid on a rundown modern villa. While seemingly abandoned, the building was recently claimed by an armed civilian.
This was most notably inspired by diegoboy and modern architecture as a whole. While I have done damaged buildings multiple times already, it was definitely a fun experience to focus on a certain kind of architecture and to create a small modern villa.
This display is Brick to the Past's "Raid on Maracaibo" diorama detailing one of the events in the life of famed pirate/privateer Henry Morgan. It was shown at Bricktastic 2018 in Manchester.
The builders were James Pegrum, Dan Harris, Simon Pickard and myself.
Le Raid 4L Trophy est un raid automobile solidaire destiné aux jeunes de moins de 28 ans et couru exclusivement en Renault 4. Créé par Jean-Jacques Rey en 1997, il est organisé par l'entreprise Desertours en partenariat avec l'École supérieure de commerce de Rennes.
Le Raid 4L Trophy a lieu chaque année, au mois de février. Les participants (environ 2 500 personnes âgés de 18 à 28 ans) disputent cette course d'orientation. Le parcours, d'environ 6 000 km, traverse la France, l’Espagne et le Maroc. Le départ a lieu à Biarritz, puis les équipages traversent librement l'Espagne jusqu'à Algésiras et prennent le ferry pour le Maroc, où les épreuves du raid commencent. Le parcours présente plusieurs étapes dont certaines autour des dunes de Merzouga et dans l'Atlas, pour mener jusqu'à Marrakech. Les participants roulent la journée, en se guidant avec un roadbook et une boussole. Ils se rassemblent le soir dans un bivouac prévu par l'organisation. Les deux derniers jours d'épreuves constituent l'étape « marathon », où les participants établissent leur bivouac en autonomie. Au cours de ce voyage, les participants transportent des fournitures scolaires et sportives, qui sont redistribuées aux enfants du sud marocain à l'arrivée. Chaque équipage est classé en fonction du nombre de kilomètres réalisés pour passer par chaque point de contrôle du parcours, l'objectif étant d'en parcourir le moins possible.
The Raid 4L Trophy is a solidarity automobile raid intended for young people under 28 and raced exclusively in Renault 4. Created by Jean-Jacques Rey in 1997, it is organized by the company Desertours in partnership with the Ecole Supérieure de Commerce of Rennes. The Raid 4L Trophy takes place every year in February. The participants (about 2,500 people aged 18 to 28) compete in this orienteering race. The route, approximately 6,000 km, crosses France, Spain and Morocco. The start takes place in Biarritz, then the crews travel freely through Spain to Algeciras and take the ferry to Morocco, where the trials of the raid begin. The route presents several stages, some of which around the dunes of Merzouga and in the Atlas, to lead to Marrakech. Participants ride the day, guided by a roadbook and a compass. They gather in the evening in a bivouac provided by the organization. The last two days of events constitute the “marathon” stage, where the participants set up their bivouac independently. During this trip, participants carry school and sports supplies, which are redistributed to children in southern Morocco on arrival. Each crew is classified according to the number of kilometers made to pass through each checkpoint on the course, the objective being to cover as few as possible.
Done with scraps... first for the new year. I made it a Raid piece because last time I painted at the lab I had a 50 come down and do the best he could to make my life difficult. The best he could come up with was making me move my car 20 meters further away so I would have to work so much harder carrying all those empty paint tins back to the car. He was very pleased with himself so this was done in his honour... stupid asshole... Big ups RFK, FAL and MG.
Raid boats are a leisure pursuit combining sailing and rowing boat.
Powered by sail and oar (no use of engines allowed!) raiding allows you to enjoy a bit of light competition over a set course.
An example of an air-raid siren at Bristol's Aerospace Museum in Filton. The sound of this going off would send factory workers rushing for the air-raid shelter, I assume only during a war!
In celebration of the anniversary of the Lindisfarne Raid in 793, I proudly present to y'all, "Raid!".
Last night Ned* & Dougal* & I went in search of the infamous Inverclyde WW2 air-raid shelter that was built for the workers of the local rope factory. After about 2yrs of wondering where on earth it was we recieved an unexpected tip-off as to its whereabouts. (*names changed to protect anonymity...)
Unbelievably we discovered another likely looking tunnel candidate in the vicinity 1st before Ned struck lucky and found the shelter...
At 600' long, 10' wide & 7' high it was considered the largest shelter in the UK when it was built in 1939. It was tunneled into the rock 45' below the surface- the government required shelters be 25' below surface so this one was considered literally bomb-proof...
Great info here about the Greenock Blitz in 1941
On Monday 3rd January 2022 members of the Bath Tub Club drove from Warminster to Imber across Salisbury Plain.
Imber is an uninhabited village within the British Army's training area on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, England. It remains under the control of the Ministry of Defence and non-military access is limited to several open days a year.
