River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the last week of September 2012, tracking the on-going river bank alterations and excavation of the river bed.
In preparation for the river-bank strengthening/protection along this stretch of the river, a 2nd channel was created -- with the intention of diverting the river.
Having endured a similar flooding only days earlier, another heavy fall of rain caused the channels to fill up again.
It meant starting all over again - draining this road/bank side channel, cutting a release channel near the bridge to release the volume, and activating pumps to assist with the repeated drainage.
Matters were never helped by the overflow pipe which siphoned run-off from the adjacent motorway!
Always quite amazing to see how water levels could drain away within a few days.
The question would always be -- how much work could be completed before the (inevitable) next run of water?
As we can see, one or two day's intense rain could produce rapid flooding of channels, swamping on-going works, and causing temporary vehicle access paths to have to be repaired.
The following sequences show how the guys reinforced the river bed/bank: spreading out, and stitching in a membrane (a wet and messy process, requiring the temporary channels to be drained yet again), placement of wire creels, filled with medium sized stones, welded shut, and laid out in strips along the river edge.
Some of these wire creels were hand-filled with stone.

These images were taken during the third week of June 2014. Preparation and constructions works are now underway in this area of the The Slang/Dargle River.
JONS Civil Engineering would appear to have the contract to devise/construct/complete a retaining wall along the La Vallee office+apartment stretch of riverbank. Much of the early work involves removal of plant material along the riverbanks, adjacent to the office-apartments complexes. Heavy machinery now appears on site, rows of sheetpile steel lengths are trucked in, and carefully laid out, access ramp down to the riverbed is cut and graded, and hard-core of varying grades is stockpiled.
Alternate color scheme for Cap A makes USAGENT, the imitation Cap. Who I always thought was pretty cool... coz he's like, a BLACK CAP. And he was more of a mercanary? or something? I had an issue where he fought Centurion Iron Man. That was tight.
Back in 1963 my aunt and uncle took a trip to the Snowy Mountains.
At the time most of Australia was in the grip of 'Snowy Mountains Fever' - the Snowy Scheme was to that time the greatest civil engineering feat undertaken Australia in which the flow of the Snowy River (which flowed east to the sea) was diverted through a series of dams to flow west to assist irrigate farmlands in the Riverina districts.
The scheme also provided the wherewithal to generate the additional electricity needed for Australia's eastern seabord in the years ahead.
These pictures are scanned from slides my aunt took on the trip. Sadly many of the slides I found are now 'beyond repair'. But these are a tribute to the men and women who built the Snowy Scheme.

Ferguslie Park held its second and now their annual “Own Yer Bike” ride around the scheme today under glorious weather. All the while the yellow vest volunteers watched out for the kids out to have a great time. All be it at the starting line one wee boy did fall off and bang hos knee. But just like an Argentine footballer, he was up in seconds demanding a free kick…
So with loud music free food and bouncy castles to keep everyone happy before a free cone finished the day. All in all everyone one had a great time which Mark Small along with his crew must be chuffed to bits with…
The rest of the photos come later 😉 By the way the pals of the privies have a foam party tomorrow in Glen Coats park, which kicks of at 1pm folks… just saying, especially since this year they have a giant soap slide that should make for a great day and photo op…

Ps folks, you’re all welcome to download my photos and share them with friends. Hopefully one day we`ll get a big A1 printer with the hope to sell all these photos to you and raise funds for these events and pay the costs of inks.
But for now, all I ask is, you search David Cameron paisley photographer on Google and leave a star of two on the review page if you like what you see 😉

These are the main color schemes that i use for all my builds, i usually use the darker 3 or 4 shades from each set.
feel free to use, no need to give credit since they are just colors. I just thought this would be easier to use since you dont have to research them yourself.

These images were taken during the last week of July 2013, tracking the on-going river bank alterations. The prolonged dry weather is now apparent in the soil surface. We would all experience the effects of, in Irish terms, a prolonged 'heatwave'. Activity in this Slang area has been drastically curtailed in recent months. What work being carried on seemed to involve endless shifting, and 'turning' of top spoil. Despite the prolonged dry period, there is a slow, but constant, seepage of water from the upper banks, gathering along the lower riverbank shelf. One has got to question the impact of such seepage on the integrity of the recently-constructed upper banks, especially the exposed slopes. Some local activity now in recycling the large stones, gathered in cairns, down to the riverbed, with the apparent intention of influencing/changing the flow patterns, and thus preventing untoward debris buildup.
To paraphrase: 'Man proposes, but Nature disposes'.

After a long and wet Winter, small-scale activity was to be seen along the river banks. Very quickly the guys here ran into an old problem -- machinery bogging down along the top of this slope/bank, requiring them to reinforce the access path with dry soil.

North American P-51D Mustang G-SHWN
• North American P-51D Mustang G-SHWN
• Operator: Norwegian Spitfire Foundation
• Year of Manufacture: 1944
• Powered by: Rolls Royce Merlin
• Colour Scheme: KH774 ‘GA-S’ 112 Squadron RAF (Shark mouth) 44-11602
This aircraft was manufactured in 1944 for the United States Army Air Force and registered as military serial number 44-73877. She did not see combat action during WWII.
During 1951 she was delivered to the Royal Canadian Air Force where she served until 1958. From 1958 to 1980 the aeroplane was flown by various private owners. After an extensive rebuild from 1980 to 1985 she was registered N167F and bore the ‘Old Crow’ colour scheme of Col. Clarence Anderson who’s signature remains on the left undercarriage door panel.
In 2012 she was purchased by a UK owner and delivered to the UK in August that year. Since then the aeroplane has been overhauled and refitted and is now in the colour scheme of Lt. Blanchford, RAF 112 Squadron which operated from Italy in 1945 on ground attack missions over the Balkans and along the Adriatic coast.

After a long and wet Winter, small-scale activity was to be seen along the river banks. How amusing to watch the movement of those mounds of stones, now being used to reinforce the river bed structure further upstream.
With only 1 truck and 1 JCB, there were wasted journeys backwards and forwards to gather, load, unload and spread the material.
