The world’s only airworthy Westland Whirlwind !
Built originally to HAR.2 standard, XJ729 was first flown from Westland’s Yeovil factory on 18th January 1956 and, by March of the same year, she was on strength with No. 22 Search and Rescue Squadron at RAF St. Mawgan. Regularly patrolling the holiday beaches of Devon and Cornwall, it is no wonder that these highly visible helicopters became some of the most instantly recognisable and best loved aircraft in RAF service, irrespective of the fact that they also helped to save countless lives throughout their service life. In 1961 she went back to Westland Helicopters for upgrade to HAR.10 standard, before returning to St. Mawgan in March 1962, to continue her work. During an extensive service life, she also spent time at RAF Leconfield, RAF Leuchars, RAF Coltishall and RAF Chivenor, before ending her career at the Search and Rescue Training Unit at RAF Valley, on Anglesey.
Following withdrawal from service, she was sent to RAF Finningley, where she served as an instructional airframe and began to deteriorate from this point. Left outside and open to the elements, she was in a sorry state and was subsequently sold for scrap – a sad end for an aircraft that spent her life helping to save people from perilous situations. Thankfully, she was rescued from the scrapman and an extensive period of restoration began, culminating in her triumphant static appearance at the 1995 Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford. Her more recent history was very much associated with Ireland – a businessman from Mullingar bought the aircraft and operated her regularly at Airshows and public events, until her Certificate of Airworthiness expired in 2007. From this date, little was heard about the aircraft and she appeared to drop off the historic aviation radar. It was only in late 2013 that news began to circulate regarding Whirlwind XJ729, as a UK based businessman purchased the aircraft and brought her back to England. Following extensive work, and much investment, XJ729 was granted a Certificate of Airworthiness at the end of November 2013 – she was back!
Whirlwind HAR Mk 10 XJ729/G-BVGE is now a purely civilian aircraft, has recently been refurbished (to be the lightest Whirlwind yet) and painted yellow, the colour she wore when flown by 22 Squadron.
This Helicopter is owned and operated by Mr Andrew Whitehouse.

Neef Marnix met leuke vondst.

Seizing a rare opportunity to take a closer look at this tunnel which is of course full of traffic 364 days of the year but was closed on New Year's Eve. I've always been fond of the tunnel - and if you get the chance it's a lot of fun to cycle through!
Now for a bit of history:
Also known as the Kingsway Underpass, this tunnel links Waterloo Bridge with High Holborn. Opened in 1964 it occupies part of the space of the original Kingsway Tramway Subway, which was in service from 1906 until 1952 when London's tram network was closed down. Much of the rest of the tram subway still lies abandoned, but isn't accessible from this tunnel despite surrounding it.
Death Stranding is Kojima Productions' first game and will be starring Norman Reedus.

Dieser Südsee-Strand sieht nicht nur "von vorne" schön aus, sondern auch "von hinten".

This sculpture was fashioned in rope before being cast in bronze. It is an anatomically correct horse fifteen feet high and weighing four tons. At the horse’s tail a length of rope extends to the ground where a life-size sculpture of a man steps upon the rope 'forcing the horse to rear and apparently unravel itself in a bid for freedom'. This scene is said to reflect man's efforts to free himself of slavery. Edward Cronshaw is an English sculptor who works exclusively in natural materials - wood, stone, fruit, bone - before making bronze casts of his creations. Cronshaw was raised near Pendle in a family home of such antiquity that a local hill bears the same name, Cronshaw's Seat. He trained as a joiner and furniture maker before attending St. Martin's School of Art in London. Joining a group of artists at Dean Clough near Hebden Bridge, he was first acclaimed as a sculptor when he won the competition for this sculpture. The commission paid for improvements to his studio enabling casting of such massive works. His largest is perhaps the twenty foot high statue of Giai, for Boot’s headquarters in Nottingham.
