Small Hindu shrine in a forest on an ancient trail high above the Auli ski resort near Joshimath (India)
There was many brass bells and red flags around the shrine. It must be quite old, on an ancient stone-paved trail going to some high pastures near the ridge of the mountain.

Our local Member of Parliament, Henry Smith (Conservative) is a noted vexillologist* but I doubt he'll be joining in a rousing chorus of The Red Flag following the results of the local elections in Crawley. With four Labour gains from Conservative the new council comprises:
20 Labour
16 Conservative
1 UKIP (a Tory defector a year or so ago)
* Keen on flags
The words of the song are here.

✈️ Fairchild Republic A‑10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog)
El A-10, apodado Warthog (“jabalí”) por su aspecto robusto, es uno de los aviones militares más especializados que existen. Fue diseñado específicamente para apoyo aéreo cercano a tropas en tierra y para destruir vehículos blindados, especialmente tanques.
Su fabricante fue la empresa Fairchild Republic.
Hizo su primer vuelo en 1972 y entro en servicio en 1977.
Su usuario principal es la USAF, United States Air Force
Alcanza una velocidad máxima: de unos 706 km/h y tiene una autonomía aproximada de 1.300 km.
El A-10 está construido literalmente alrededor del cañón GAU‑8/A Avenger, que es su arma mas famosa, con un calibre de 30 mm.
Tiene una cadencia de hasta ~3.900 disparos por minuto y su
munición consta de proyectiles perforantes capaces de destruir blindados.
️ Esta diseñado para la supervivencia en combate, es extremadamente resistente, debido a que su cabina esta protegida por una “bañera” de titanio para el piloto.
puede volar con un motor destruido, puede seguir volando con parte del ala o cola dañadas.
Tiene sistemas duplicados para aumentar la supervivencia.
Esto lo hace ideal para volar a baja altura sobre zonas de combate, donde otros aviones serían demasiado vulnerables.
Sus misiones principales son: el apoyo aéreo cercano (CAS) a tropas terrestres, la destrucción de tanques y vehículos blindados y el ataque a posiciones enemigas con bombas o misiles.
Puede llevar una gran variedad de armamento, como los misiles antitanque AGM‑65 Maverick, bombas guiadas por láser o GPS y
cohetes y bombas convencionales.
Ha participado en diferentes conflictos, como son la Guerra del Golfo, la de Afghanistan, la de Iraq, operaciones contra el ISIS y actualmente en la Guerra de Iran con operaciones en el estrecho de Ormuz.
El A-10 Warthog es uno de los aviones de ataque más efectivos jamás construidos: lento para estándares de cazas, pero muy resistente, preciso y devastador contra objetivos terrestres.
