Training Grounds
‘This house located at the inner city walls, once occupied by a hard working farmer, became available as the poor man came to die. The army took over the property but instead of demolishing the house they transformed it into a recreational area, a place for soldiers to relax and have a drink after training.
The surrounding area became the main training grounds for young soldiers, a place to discover their skill and choose their speciality in the army forces before going to specialized army training facilities.
A compact but well equipped military structure was constructed next to the old house. The barracks contains a stable aswell, where knights and archers can use the horses for training.’
I was actually about to dismantle the WIP but since it wasn’t far from completion, I decided to finish it anyway. It also exists in digital form so I might release instructions for this build within a few days.
Cold, dark, damp and unpleasant today, and these guys were out on the water. Rather them than me!

Thanks for looking!

I have since learned that he passed away in January 2023. This from the Times of India -
"Jwala Tiwari, a former state-level wrestler and head of one of the last surviving akharas in the city on the banks of the Hooghly, Passed away on Sunday. He was 65 years old. The wrestler who specialised in clay pit wrestling had represented Bengal in several competitions in various categories till the mid 1990s. He won silver and bronze in several tournaments organised by the various wrestling authorities of different states."

Greater Manchester Police, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) and North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) conduct a joint training exercise in Manchester.
The scenario involved emergency services coming under attack while dealing the aftermath of a road traffic collision.
The exercise – one of a series – is intended to ensure the services can work together effectively to deal with dangerous situations.

This scene is on the upper deck of a coastal tramp steamer, probably in Singapore harbour, in 1970. Based on other slides in the collection, this is probably aboard the MV Kimanis, which was a 90m-long, 3,189-ton cargo liner built in Dundee in 1951 and part of the Straits Steamship fleet until 1982. She operated on the mainly coastal routes between Singapore, Brunei and the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak. In addition to all sorts of cargo, she also carried a small number of passengers.
I've no idea what the scenario for the training evolution might have been, but everyone's in lifejackets, fire extinguishers are at hand and the hose on the deck (upper left) looks a bit like one for a smoke mask (with a vent for air held by a helper in fresh air). However, the centrepiece at the time the photo was taken is clearly the individual strapped into the Neil Robertson stretcher.
The Neil Robertson stretcher was designed for removing an injured person from spaces wherein access, doors, or hatches are too small to permit the use of regular stretchers. Spaces such as engine-room spaces, cargo holds, pump rooms, boiler room etc. are examples of such compact spaces aboard ships.
The Neil Robertson stretcher is made of flexible semi-rigid canvas and can be folded easily when not in use or whilst gaining access to small spaces. The stretcher is provided with strong straps which when firmly wrapped around the victim, give strong support to hold the person with almost negligible movement with respect to the stretcher, which is very important when rescuing or transferring injured person.
Whilst it is just great to see that even crews aboard tramp steamers conducted safety training in those days, I do have a few concerns - all those ropes and wires going all over the place and all but one of the participants in the training wearing only flip-flops for starters!
Taken by a relative who was onboard as a passenger. I've scanned this from a slide.

#AlphaTrainingRecap 8/12: parlons sport. En impesanteur, les muscles et les os souffrent de ne plus travailler. Nous passons jusqu’à 2h30 chaque jour à faire de l'exercice. Voici ARED, un appareil d'exercice physique très complet. Il est un peu impressionnant mais ne vous inquiétez pas, je l'ai sous contrôle 😉 Je l’ai beaucoup utilisé durant Proxima et il n’a pas beaucoup changé. Comme on ne ressent pas les effets du poids, cette machine utilise des cylindres à vide pour créer une résistance. Grâce à elle, on peut entretenir sa masse musculaire dans l'espace et compenser tous ces mois à flotter. Course à pied, vélo ou autre, ça peut devenir un peu répétitif…

#AlphaTrainingRecap 8/12: We spend a lot of time in space working out to stay fit. Here's some scenes training on ARED, or the Advanced Resistance Exercise Device. We need to keep our muscles strong in space to counteract the months of just floating. This device is a bit of a beast and it looks like it is winning in some of these photos. Don't worry I have it under control ;) Not much has changed since mission Proxima, the device is so advanced that it requires a computer to use, but so reliable it just works. We don't have weights in space so it uses vacuum cylinders to resist the 💪. As we run, cycle or work out up to two and a half hours a day on the International Space Station it can get a bit repetitive sometimes.

Both these B10Ms spent time with Rennies before becoming trainers. 52355 came to Rennies in November 2010 registered P255ASA. It was quickly re-registered BHZ9545, lasting in the fleet until July 2011 when it joined the main Fife fleet as a training bus. Alongside, 52649 came from Rugby in January 2012 in Megabus colours. It was quickly repainted into Citylink livery and re-registered D6BUS. Within the year, it had been transferred to Western, re-registered back to T669XTV and repainted white for hire work. It was subsequently transferred back to Fife and re-painted / re-equipped as a training bus.
The Leyland Tigers that First Manchester acquired with the Timeline Travel business had mixed fortunes. After running them in Timeline livery with First names for a while, one eventually made it to the paint shop and received a coat of 'Tomato Soup'. Before the rest of Bolton's allocation could follow, a decision had been made to upgrade the driving school and use them as trainers. It made logical sense really as the buses were only 10 years old but the low floor revolution was well in swing by now and if the small independents were looking for rugged step entrance vehicles for schools and such they wouldn't be willing to part with the money for these which still had a high book value.
