A WW2 Pillbox in a state of disrepair on Aberdeen Beach at dusk.

The Loch a'Chairn Bhain hold's a very historic role from WW2.

In 1943, these waters, along with adjoining Loch Glencoul, were used to train the crews of miniature X-craft submarines before going to Norway, where they successfully disabled the German battleship Tirpitz.

A memorial just north of the bridge pays tribute to the 39 crew who died and the local people “who knew so much and talked so little”.

Memorial has been one of the top visitor attractions on the Fylde Coast since its construction in 2013. At its heart is a full size replica of the Mark Vb Spitfire W3644, Lytham St Annes, which served with 19 Squadron RAF during WW2. She was shot down in June 1942, with the loss of her 19 year old Pilot, Sgt Alan Lever-Ridings.

I have an uncle who was a marine during ww2 who fought in the pacific. This is a Japanese flag that he brought home, it has a few names written on it from some of the men that he served with. The names on the flag are:

Charles F Blanbo from Washington DC ( I think that's what the last name is, its kinda fuzzy)

Harold L Bachelor from Portland Oregon

Wm Roberts from Brookville Indiana

Frank Trusky from Akron Ohio

James E. Day from Huntsville Alaska

Douglas P. Searbrough from Monterey Tennessee

Harlan Bunnilk from Rockford Minnesota

John L. England from Jacksonville Texas

and my uncle Charles Fortney

I'm still trying to get more information like the unit he was in and if my uncle can remember where he got the flag from. He gave this to me about 25 or 30 years ago, it's been at my parents house till I asked them to send it to me.

Here are some of my new Japanese soldiers, including: Ghillie Sniper, Sgt. or a high rank soldier, a regular soldier, and a messed up pilot. I hope you guys enjoy!

VIC - Very Important Cow

A friend and I were at Bunker Bash 2009, the annual military rally at the former Government bunker at Kelvedon Hatch, near Brentwood in Essex. We had been undecided about going so arrived late and not in the best of weather.

We found an enthusiatic bunch of re-enactors and military vehicles owners covering both World Wars. One part of the site had been laid out as mock entrenchments with various national groups including British, US, German, Soviet and even Serbian forces dug-in.

"Lady Luck" as the squad likes to call her

My kids learned a lot about the Second World War today at Murton Park, York. This chap was dressed up as a German soldier and very knowledgeable.

Another from the files and, I think, so far not posted. A 'Black 5' pulls into Pickering on he North Yorkshire Moors Railway during a WW2 themed events weekend, 2016. Mobile snap.

On the hills

Still messing with the stickers, alternative parts and detailing, but this is pretty much the two first kits! Includes: GP Mech, Custom Minifig, custom sticker sheet and interchangeable weapons, Do you have any suggestions for these little guys?

Inspired by the one and only Phima', the reason I ever started posting on here in the first place. I doubt you'll ever see this but if you do, cheers.

As for the build itself, I've been meaning to build myself an updated Jeep for quite some time now, and by quite some time I mean just a wee bit under 4 years, haha. Now that I've finally gone and built one, I'm pretty darn happy with it. The front bar isn't perfect so I'll probably try a minor redesign in the next few days, as well as taking some pictures of it without the canvas top. I've come up with a neat little Browning design as well that I'd like to implement.

As always, c&c is welcome.

PS check out my YouTube Channel if you're into that kind o' stuff. Channel name Carpet Lego, you can find links in the picture I posted earlier.

Thanks!
