GPU-2/A Aircraft Gun Pod
The GPU-2/A is a lightweight self-contained gun pod fitted with the three-barrel M197 20mm rotary cannon, the lighter version of the six-barrel M61A1 Vulcan gun. The M197 features selectable rates of fire, either 750 or 1,500 rounds per minute. The gun pod weighs only 586 pounds loaded with 300 rounds of ammunition. It is self-contained and powered by a rechargeable 32 volt nickel- cadmium battery, with sufficient charge to expend three complete loads of ammunition before needing to be recharged. Only an external trigger signal from the host aircraft is required for operation of the weapon.
The GPU-2/A has been tested and employed on a wide variety of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft using standard NATO suspension racks. The pod has flown on the Cessna A-37 Dragonfly and North American OV-10 Bronco. M197 cannons are used today on Marine Corps AH-1 Cobra helicopters.
The 309 Maintenance Wing at Hill AFB rebuilds and test fires the M197 cannon. The organization maintains a gun shop and test firing facility on base.
LAU-131/A Rocket Launcher
The LAU-131/A rocket launcher carried seven unguided 2.75 inch wrap-around fin aerial rockets and was used on a variety of U.S. Air Force aircraft. The reusable aluminum launcher allowed for single or ripple firing of the rockets. Its design allowed the rockets to stay in the same container from their manufacture, through shipping and storage, to their final firing. Wrap-around fin aerial rockets were based on the Mk 66 universal rocket motor and were developed from the previous 2.75 inch Mk 40 motor-based folding fin aerial rocket.
History of the OV-10A "Bronco"
The OV-10A is a turboprop, light attack aircraft developed under a U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps tri-service program to create a versatile counter- insurgency airplane. After these aircraft first took flight in 1967, some of their missions included observation, forward air control, armed reconnaissance, interdiction missions on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, and limited ground attack during the Vietnam War.
The OV-10A "Bronco" at Hill Air Force Base
The first OV-10 arrived at Hill Air Force Base in 1988 for structural refurbishment, rewiring, and installation of a secure voice radio. Personnel at Hill performed work on 48 OV-10s within five years. After the main workload for OV-10s at Hill ended in 1990, the Mature and Proven Aircraft Division on base continued to manage this airframe. The OV-10A on display was manufactured in 1968 and was assigned to the Da Nang Air Base, South Vietnam, the following year, in 1991, after several base transfers, the aircraft was sent to and modified by the Ogden Air Logistics Center to support a United States State Department drug-interdiction project for the Colombian Air Force. In 2006, the aircraft was put on display here at the Hill Aerospace Museum.
Interesting Fact
The aircraft is painted to closely resemble its appearance while serving with the 23rd Tactical Air Support Squadron in Thailand.

Three Shire Heads is the point on Axe Edge Moor where Cheshire, Derbyshire and Staffordshire meet. It is on the River Dane, which marks the Cheshire border in this area.
Also, in bygone times thieves used to use this spot to evade capture,as they could flit from one county to another very easily.
These chairs were probably put there by other urban explorers but none the less a strange looking formation in such a creepy abandoned builing. Photo taken at Château de Noisy (Miranda) Belgium.

There used to be three Haringey Council carparks in Stoneleigh Road N17 unmemorably named 'A' 'B' and 'C'.
Carparks 'A' and 'B' were merged with a redesign and revamp which made the facilities safer and more attractive.
Carpark 'C' remains with several shortcomings. The main one is relative isolation and lack of overlooking. So it's not popular with drivers; and gets used by dumpers.

A moment of simplicity on a walk to Boulder Bay from Taylors Mistake beach
Port Hills, Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand (041231#012)
I was riding my bike towards home in anticipation to see this rainbow from the bridge. When I arrived it started to rain which left these line patterns on the water surface. The rainbow was vibrant and the temperature wasn't too cold - considering we are in the middle of winter (22 degrees C maybe).
