Launch of the VC STEM Regional Collaborative

1966 Dodge VC 106 utility. Taken at the 2019 Shannon's Eastern Creek Classic, held at Sydney Motorsport Park.

VC-121A, 48-0610 has been ferried to the Marana Regional Airport in Arizona. Its Lockheed construction number is 2602. It was delivered to the Air Force in November 1948. It was named Columbine II when it served as President Eisenhower's personal transport. The Air Force leased it to Pan Am in May 1955. Pan Am first registered it as N9907F and then N9907E. It was transferred for a very short period of time to the government of Thailand, and Pan Am returned it to the Air Force in June 1955. It was retired by the Air Force in April 1968. It was bought by Christier Flying Service Inc. in May 1970 and registered N9463. It has since been restored to airworthy condition. The airplane was parked at Santa Fe for several years after it returned from the Vintage Aircraft and Warbird Auction held in Scottsdale in 1998. The reserve price was not met. At this moment (2010) it is stored at Marana Regional Airport (Avra Valley).

Tamron Lenses USA SP 150-600mm VC + Canon SL2

VC Tower once controlled the tracks leading out of Portland Union Station in Oregon, now it serves as a shed for a MAX light rail control point. Its nice to see an older railroad structure spruced up and given a purpose after the tower was closed, instead of tearing it down.

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.

Nem toda feiticeira é corcunda.

Nem toda brasileira é bunda.

Meu peito não é de silicone.

Sou mais macho que muito homem.

Dizem que a mulher é o sexo frágil, mas que mentira absurda!

Tenho apenas um exemplar em casa, que mantenho e zelo com dedicação, mas na verdade acredito que é ela que me mantém.

Tenha felicidade bastante para fazê-la doce.

Dificuldades para fazê-la forte.

Tristeza para fazê-la humana.

E esperança suficiente para fazê-la feliz!

On 17 September 1944, Lt Grayburn emplaned for Arnhem. From the evening of 17 September until the night of 20 September, a period of over three days, Lt Grayburn, a platoon commander, 2nd Parachute Battalion, led his men with supreme gallantry and determination at Arnhem Bridge.

 

Although in pain and weakened by wounds to his face and back, his courage never flagged. There is no doubt that, had it not been for this officer's inspiring leadership and personal bravery Arnhem Bridge could never have been held for that time. Lt Grayburn died during the night of 20 September, aged 26 years old. For his gallantry at Arnhem, he was awarded the Victoria Cross.

 

His body was recovered from a ruined building in 1948 and is now buried at Oosterbeek War Cemetery.

  

Nikon L35AF, Kodak Portra 400 VC

Developed and scanned by Dwayne's

This was processed (color,scale,unsharp mask) for use as a still in an iMovie 11 video. I include it here as an "L35AF built in flash saves the shot" example. This was taken on the hanger deck of the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown. It was pretty dark on the hanger deck, especially compared to the illumination on the Cooper River and Charleston, across the way there, at about 11:30 AM. Without the flash, the subjects would be black silhouettes. Forgot to do the Exif.

On 12th May 1917 near Bullecourt, France, Lieutenant Moon's immediate objective was a position in advance of a hostile trench, and then against the trench itself, after the capture of which it was intended that his men should co-operate in a further assault. Although wounded in the initial advance, he reached the first objective, but was again wounded in the assault on the trench. He nevertheless continued to inspire and encourage his men and captured the trench, but was again wounded when consolidating the position. It was not until he was severely wounded for a fourth time that he agreed to retire from the fight.

   

Rupert was admitted to 8th Australian Field Ambulance and was transferred to No 29 Casualty Clearing Station at Grevillers and 20th General Hospital at Camiers on 14th May. He was evacuated to Reading War Hospital, Berkshire aboard HMHS Pieter de Coninck from Calais on 26th May and was transferred to 1st Southern General Hospital, Birmingham on 28th May. Rupert received his VC whilst recuperating on 3rd August 1917 at Buckingham Palace from King George V.

  

Rupert died at Bellarine Private Hospital, Whittington, Victoria on 28th February 1986. He was the last but one surviving Australian VC from the Great War.

The Douglas C-47 Skytrain or Dakota is a low-wing, twin-engine, all metal, military transport aircraft developed directly from the Douglas DC-3 civilian airliner. Engineered by a Douglas Aviation team, led by chief engineer Arthur E. Raymond, its simple, reliable design revolutionized air transport making it one of the most significant airliners in aviation history. First flown on December 17, 1935, by 1941 the DC-3 entered military service as the C-47 or as the R4D, its US Navy designation. Modifications included strengthening the floor, installing a cargo door and fitting two Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp radial engines to improve high-altitude and single engine performance allowed the C-47 to become the most versatile cargo aircraft of the war.

 

In the words of General Dwight D. Eisenhower "The atomic bomb, the bazooka, the jeep and the DC-3 were the four things that won the war for the Allies…" Over 10,000 C-47 aircraft were produced for use in every theater of the war, from flying "The Hump" in the China-Burma-India Theater to dropping paratroopers in Europe. The C-47 also carries the distinction of being the only aircraft ever licensed for production in the Soviet Union. As a supply plane, the C-47 could carry up to 6,000 pounds of cargo or hold a fully assembled jeep or a 37 mm cannon. Twenty-eight fully equipped soldiers could be transported in its standard personnel configuration or, as a medical airlift; the C-47 could accommodate fourteen stretchers and three nurses.

 

Widely modified, seven basic versions of the C-47 were built, and the aircraft was given at least 22 designations before its service life ended; including the AC-47D gunship nicknamed "Puff the Magic Dragon" (armament consisted of three 7.62mm miniguns firing 6000 rpm each), the EC-47 electronic reconnaissance aircraft, the EC-47Q antiaircraft systems evaluation aircraft and the C-53 Skytrooper.

 

March Field Air Museum's VC-47A serial number 43-15579 was manufactured by Douglas Aircraft in Long Beach, California and delivered to the Army Air Force on April 12, 1944. It served in the Air Transport Command before it was transferred to the California Air National Guard. Until its retirement in October of 1972 43-15579 carried the nickname "Grizzly," and served as the governor’s personal aircraft during the tenures of governors Earl Warren, Goodwin “Goodie “Knight and Edmund G. "Pat" Brown. After acquisition by the museum, the aircraft was disassembled with the fuselage being used as a trailer, it was brought to the museum on freeways where it was re-assembled and restored. This aircraft is on loan from the NMUSAF
