USAF KC-135R 57-2605 refuelling RC-135W 62-4132 to the west of Dundee recently. Lucky to catch the separation as well as the actual refuelling.

Katie's vet and PT wanted us to try to get her to eat while she was in the cart. We had no problems on the first day as we offered food at the end of her run when she was tired...and obviously hungry!

I have found another negative of the support ship refuelling HMS Verulam in 1968. In this one more details of the tanker can be seen.
I spent quite some time de-spotting it, but by the time I reached the sky I lost the will to live, and only removed the larger spots.
My (vital) morning coffee stop on Herne Hill station, London.
Not an unashamed commercial plug, but the coffee from this tiny independent coffee shop, is excellent - or at least the double macchiato certainly brings me to life on a cold winter's day.

for COMMUTE ROUTE set:
SERIES 1. MY USUAL ROUTE (& POINTS IN COMMON TO ALL ROUTES).
I reach Herne Hill station after I've walked through Brockwell Park and crossed over the main roads nearby into Railton Road, where the station building and main entrance are.
This is where I usually get my morning coffee, when I want one.
I usually catch a mainline (Southeastern Trains) suburban service train to London Victoria from platform 2 on the R here. The trains I use to or from this station on my regular commute are on the Victoria-Orpington service. Platform 2 is the usual one for the inward journey to London Victoria, and platform 3 (out of sight to the R) is the usual one for the outward journey to Orpington. However, I sometimes take an alternative train route to or from Blackfriars, on the Thameslink network, and these trains use platform 1 on the L here on their inward service, and platform 4 (out of sight to the R) on their outward service.
My standard outward commuting route:
home > (walk) > Rosendale Road > (walk) > Brockwell Park > (walk) > Herne Hill station > (National Rail suburban service) > London Victoria station > (District/Circle Line) > South Kensington > (walk) > Natural History Museum.

This Martin P5M Marlin Flying Boat is refueling from us (USS Tolovana AO 64). We were anchored here in Henrietta Pass (now called the Gulf of Tonkin) in 1954 supporting the evacuation of North Vietnamese people to South Vietnam before the imminent French pull-out and communist take-over.

Ex RAF 31AD23, an AEC MkIII Mammoth Major (model 3671H) aircraft refuelling tanker which is apparently still used for its intended purpose at the small airfield where it's based.
Nunney Castle sits on platform 4 taking in water. I was legging it to catch the 11.21 to Filton Abbey Wood so that I could catch the Castle flying up the hill through Lockleaze. My train was supposed to leave from platform 3, which is being blocked by said steam engine! My train left from platform 7, the Castle left at 11.33. Tight, but I made it. :)

Thursday 17 July 2014 - Day 18 - Quebrada Pastoruri campsite (4,597m / 15,082ft) - Nevado Pastoruri (5,240m / 17,192ft) - Quebrada Pastoruri campsite (4,597m / 15,082ft)
Quite literally the high point of the holiday - cramponing over the Pastoruri glacier and up to the top of Nevado Pastoruri.
Bed tea at 5.15am. Clear skies. Cold.
I'd packed yesterday - a tight squeeze fitting my Scarpa boots plus harness, crampons and water into my Lowe Alpine daypack again - and wore Val's PHD down jacket, my hat, scarf and gloves, and helmet. Ice axe strapped to the back of my pack.
We followed yesterday's route back up the Quebrada Pastoruri towards the farm, where we crossed the stream and headed up a left hand valley passing some frozen lakes. Hard going over tussock grass ad then moraine - sighting three vicuña provided a highlight.
We were at the glacier by 8am, and in the sun. We donned boots and crampons, harnesses and helmets, and then Val roped us up. Amner, Christina, Mike and I were with her; Dave was with Melky. As you'll see from the "before" photos, I was very apprehensive. The pace and the steepness tested us all I think, as did keeping the rope taut and clear of our crampons, but getting up close to the glacier face, dripping with icicles, was amazing. We traversed the snow cover and then side stepped the final steep section to the summit.
A short stay at the top perched on prickly rocks to take in the fantastic views of the Cordillera Huayhuash, and back down into the Quebrada Pastoruri, then a careful descent.
Exhilarating, but I was glad to be back on (relative) terra firma, even with the tricky leap from the snowline onto the side of the moraine.
Tired legs and wearing too many layers plus helmet (due to lack of room in my dayback) made for a tough trek back to camp, and prickles in the grass didn't help my mood either.
Back in camp we soon perked up with the help of veg noodle soup and a late lunch, but when my one and only headache of the trip kicked in a little later I retired to Lobo y Zorro with a couple of Ibuprofen for a bit of reading/snoozing (mainly the latter, snug in Val's down jacket and under my sleeping bag).
Pre dinner scrabble with very strong hot choc, then our final Melky meal - mulled wine, soup, veg spaghetti, hot fruit salad, coca tea. Back in bed by 8pm.

The 726th Air Mobility Squadron refueled seven Boeing C-17 Globemaster III aircrafts on the flightline at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, April 22, 2016. The squadron enables the delivery of war-fighting and humanitarian effects through rapid global air mobility, providing air transportation, cargo, maintenance and enroute support to Allied and American Forces.
...for the long journey ahead.

We (USS Tolovana AO-64) are refueling a Destoyer at sea in fairly rough conditions. We are pumping black oil, which is termed NSFO (Navy Special Fuel Oil). This hose is the forward one of two. Navy ships try to never get below 80% full.
The littoral combat ship USS Freedom (LCS 1) comes alongside the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) for a refueling at sea in the Pacific Ocean April 7, 2010. Freedom is conducting counter-illicit trafficking operations in the area and Carl Vinson is supporting Southern Seas 2010. Southern Seas is a U.S. Southern Command-directed operation that provides U.S. and international forces the opportunity to operate in a multinational environment.
