Affectionately known as Gina, ZK349 lands back at Fairford after the synchro display with the BBMF Spitfire.
"Affectionately called "Thud" by its crews the Thunderchief was the first supersonic tactical fighter-bomber developed from scratch rather then from an earlier design. The F-105 was selected over the F-107 for production in a fly-off competition. The F-105F is a slightly larger two-seat version of the F-105D. Both cockpits are virtually identical and the aircraft can be flown from either one. The addition of the second crewman was intended to reduce the workload on the individual crewmen. The F-105F was adapted to the "Wild Weasel" mission in 1965. This mission involves the very dangerous job of attracting the attention of enemy air defenses, in particular radar-guided surface-to-air missiles so that the aircraft can locate and destroy the ground radars. The F-105G is a modified and improved F-105F that was introduced in 1967." -
Holy Trinity Church, Knysna, is affectionately known simply as the Belvidere Church. It was built largely as a result of the love affair between Thomas Henry Duthie, and his wife, Caroline.
Mr Duthie was the founder of the village of Belvidere (which had been a farm with its headquarters at Belvidere Manor), and Caroline was a daughter of George Rex, the first successful settler in Knysna (and thus considered the founder of this popular Garden Route coastal town).
Once the Duthies had built their home, they decided they needed a church to complete their happiness - and in which to celebrate things like holy days and the baptisms of their children - so Thomas made approaches to Robert Gray, the newly appointed bishop of the Diocese of the Cape Colony. At the same time, he asked for permission to build other churches in Knysna and Plettenberg Bay.
Of course the Bishop approved, and Mr. and Mrs. Duthie chose the plan for the Belvidere Church from a portfolio of designs which the Bishop’s wife, Ms Sophie Gray, had drawn up.
Belvidere Church seats no more than about 20 people, and its nave is only 5,3 metres wide. It was modelled on England's Norman churches of the 11th and 12 centuries, and it is built of locally mined sandstone and locally felled timbers. Its foundation stone was laid on 15 October, 1851, and it was consecrated on 5 October 1855. It cost £900 (a full £100 more than the much larger St George’s, which was built across the Lagoon in Knysna at about the same time). Most of the money was donated by Mr Duthie, but he had help - via his brother, Reverend Archibald H Duthie, of Deal, in Kent - from England’s Society For The Propagation of the Gospel and Society For The Promotion of Christian Knowledge.
At first, the Church shared rectors with St George’s, but it became a parish in November, 1916, and has employed its own rectors since then.
One corner of the Belvidere Church’s leafy garden is reserved for the graves of members of the Duthie family; memorials to other prominent members of local society are scattered around, inside and out: these include a brass plaque to the founder himself, and memorials to people who preferred cremation to burial.
It really is a beautiful spot, and the trees were full of sunbirds, orioles and other beauties. One regret: there was no time to press through to Brenton-on-Sea, only known habitat of the rare Brenton Blue butterfly (Orachrysops niobe). (See www.brentonblue.org.za/reserve.html)

Raphoe Cathedral is planning to undertake a major renovation project over the next few years to help maintain its building for generations to come. The Dean of Raphoe, the Very Revd Arthur Barrett, reflects on the cathedral’s history, parish life today and its plans going forward.
How was Raphoe significant in Ireland’s early Christian history?
Raphoe was one of the earliest Christian settlements that was associated with Columba. There was an ancient monastic site on the site now occupied by the cathedral. Columba was born not so very far away – in Gartan, just outside Letterkenny. The name Raphoe is Irish is Ráth Bhoth, which means ‘the fort of the huts’ and it’s likely that that refers to the actual original wooden huts of the monks who were here. From here, Columba went on to Derry and headed up the Foyle and away to Iona. In his footsteps came his cousin Eunan, who developed the monastery in Raphoe, and later succeeded Columba as the ninth Abbot of Iona. It is reputed that on his death, his remains were returned to Raphoe, and that he is buried on the site of the cathedral. So a very ancient Celtic heritage is linked with Raphoe.
And what is the history of the cathedral?
There are many different fabric aspects to it, and it dates back in some parts to the 12th and 13th centuries. We have a carved lintel stone which has been dated to the 12th century, and which depicts the arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Most of it is intact and inside the cathedral, and part of it is still embedded in the outer wall of the cathedral.
The cathedral, as it stands, is mostly from the 18th century. There were two transepts originally which, for whatever reason, were taken away; an old lathe-and-plaster wall on the inside was taken down and they rediscovered the old sedilia seats that are now the canon stalls. They had obviously been hidden for possibly a couple of hundred years. Around those seats there are carvings that depict shamrocks – it’s believed that they are possibly one of the first evidences in ecclesiastical architecture of references to St Patrick.
The newest part of the cathedral is the very tall square tower, built in 1738, which is very prominent to the cathedral and to the town as well. It has a clock face on each face of the tower, which is unusual, and it’s affectionately known as the town clock.
What does parish life look like today?
Raphoe parish is a busy place. While we are a cathedral for the Diocese of Raphoe, we are for the most part a parish church. We’ve services, obviously, every Sunday and we have organisations involved within the parish – Mothers’ Union, bowling club, a choir and so on – but we’re very much part of the wider community as well. The cathedral itself is open every day – all day long – and people do come and it’s interesting to see from our visitors’ book where people come from.
Raphoe itself has two large secondary schools – the Royal and Prior School, and Deele College – both with around 600 pupils. We’ve a very busy mart on a Monday and a Thursday, and we’ve two national schools in the town as well; our own Central National School is one of the largest national schools under Protestant management in the county.
What will the renovation project seek to achieve?
Well, we knew that there were issues with the fabric of the building and we got a conditions survey done a couple of years ago. The works that need to be done on the cathedral are really quite extensive. It’s going to involve re-roofing the whole cathedral on the outside, putting in new natural slates plus all the associated lead flashings, wall plate and timber, guttering, downpipes and drainage. We have works to do on the very roof of the tower and on some of the stonework around the whole building as well.
And how can people help with this?
On our website – www.raphoecathedral.ie – we have a banner for the renovation project and, as part of that, last year we commissioned a short video that helps to set the cathedral in the context of where it is, its history, the community as it is now, and our desire to maintain this beautiful building for generations to come.
The website includes a link to a PayPal page and we’ll soon be launching our ‘buy-a-slate’ campaign which we’re hoping will go far and wide. We’re also inviting those who so wish to be benefactors of the cathedral; this is for those who would like to make a significant donation and we would include them in a roll of benefactors when the project is complete.

My new friends Catherine and Patrick just got engaged and I had the opportunity to shoot some engagement pictures for them today. They're both fellow graduate students at Notre Dame, so we figured Notre Dame's beautiful campus would provide the perfect setting for some pictures.

Affectionately known as Alte Peter (Old Peter), St. Peter's Church is the oldest in the city of Munich. Built in 1180, the church has had a turbulent and interesting past but is still a favorite tourist attraction and is fondly admired by locals as well.
Built on the same site where 8th century monks had established a monastery, Peterskirche was designed in the Romanesque style. The monks had called this area Peterbergl, or Peter's Hill, so a similar name was given to the church. The same monks also gave the city its current name, as München is derived from Mönch, the German word for monk.

Affectionately know as China Mary, Mrs. Lum was married to Ah Lum, co-owner of the Can-can Restaurant with Quong Keel, and "Worshipful Master of the Chinese Masonic Lodge." She was the absolute ruler of "Hoptown" and all its denizens. China Mary not only ruled them but also virtually owned them body and soul. Her word and her decisions were undisputed law, and no one disobeyed.
No Chinese person could be hired except through China Mary; none could be paid, except through China Mary. She also controlled Chinese prostitution and all the opium trade in Tombstone, and owned an interest in most of the Chinese businesses in town.
In spite of her shady operations and the fact she was Chinese, Mary was respected and well-liked in Tombstone. She would lend money to anyone who impressed her as honest and hard working. No sick, injured or hungry person was ever turned from her door. She once took a cowboy with a broken leg to the Grand Central Boarding House and paid the bill until he recovered. At her death a large number of people attended her burial in the Chinese section of Boothill. Her funeral had all the pomp and ceremony of a lavish Chinese extravaganza.
Rai Pawpad gives Jaina an affectionate headbutt to the arm. "You alright?"
Jaina Lefevre shrugs. "I guess. Was nice just...sitting and listening." She leans her head on his shoulder a moment. "Wanna find something fun to do? Like..maybe dance or something?"
Rai Pawpad nods. "It's always good down there. Even when He's not awake. He'll talk to you sometime, I'm sure of it. " Rai twitches his ears nervously. "You wanta dance? Like at the ball dance?"
Jaina Lefevre giggles and shakes her head. "No. LIke this."
Jaina Lefevre just starts giggling and dancing around.
Jaina Lefevre laughs and dances, giggling so much that after a while she just stops and drops down to sit, still giggling. "Now...that is fun!"
Rai Pawpad stops, panting, out of breath. "Yeah, that was! Better than the other kinda dancing. "
Jaina Lefevre grins and nods. "Yeah...it was. And it makes you giggle inside and outside."
Rai Pawpad realizes that he was, actually laughing for a minute. He looks down at Jai and tugs her hood. "I wasn't giggling. That's for girls."
Jaina Lefevre snorts laughter and headbutts his arm. "Boys chuckle, girls giggle. Same difference.
Rai Pawpad is somewhat mollifed. "Yeah, I was definitely chuckling."
Jaina Lefevre grins and stretches out, wiggling her feet. "This feels better."
Rai Pawpad is still keeping his ear to the street, but he hunkers down next to her. "Yeah, this is better." He swipes her shoulder with his head.
Jaina Lefevre reaches up and winds an arm around him. "So...think we're okay here for a little bit? Just to sit outside and enjoy the grass and stuff? I'd like to maybe build sandcastles sometime. I used to on that little beach...but I can't go there now. It's too many bad memories."
Rai Pawpad: "I know other places where there's sand." He sounds authoritative. "Lot's of them. we can build all the castles you want."
Affectionately known as The Goddess, when you stand back and admire the shape and line of the bodywork, you can see why. Built from 1955-74 they were fitted with a range of mediocre engines of 1.9, 2.0 and 2.1 litre displacement, but it wasn't until the 1970s when the 2.3 litre engine became available that they fully realised their potential as fast luxury cruisers. Horrendously complicated in the eyes of the average mechanic, many have survived thanks to a dedicated group of fans and today £28,500 will get you a very nice top-condition model.

Affectionately, if not imaginatively known as the "tea and toast' moment.
Migraines have been a fact of life since my university days and the routine is always the same; around 6am I wake with searing pain and I know I wont be getting out of bed until the evening. It takes fifteen hours of wishing for 'the end' to take me out of this nightmare until I can lift my head off the pillow and shakily get to the kitchen for this, the best part of a lost day. At this point, I know the worst is behind me.

I affectionately nicknamed this Poppy ‘Big Red’ when she was initially revealed. Several months and a couple of delays later, she’s finally made it to me!
Her hair is extremely bright red, and it’s quite lovely. I was going to give her a reroot until I saw her bright eyebrows (yikes). British Invasion makes my 5th Poppy out of 6, and I really love her.
Big Red is sort of like a mix of Day Tripper and Mood Changers Lavender. Tripper is an unattainable grail Poppy for me, and Lavender is a Poppy that I let go some time ago. I do wish she had the exact screening as Tripper but I’m not complaining. She’s close enough for me to be content.
Anyway, this cartoonish Poppy is absolutely the cutest. I can’t wait to get some actual pictures of her and her very bright mane!
An affectionate stray cat who, we suspect, was born in the ruins of the old house. Like so many others that roam the roof tops of Querétaro he was eventually lost in a bad storm, probably falling into the street or into an empty house that he couldn't get out of.
St Botolph's - affectionately known as the 'Stump' - is the largest building in England that has always been a parish church.
The building of the present church is believed to have begun in 1309, replacing a Norman church, but Christianity in Boston goes back to the 7th century when an Anglo-Saxon missionary monk named Botulph or Botolph is believed to have preached there, and founded a church.
One possible explanation for the town's name is that the place was called Botolph's Stone, later shortened to Boston. Medieval Latin documents show that Bostonians were known as 'viri Sancti Botolphi', St Botolph's men'.
The church, except the tower, was probably completed by about 1390. Early in the 15th century the eastwardly leaning pillars may have necessitated the reroofing of the church; at the same time the aisles were 'modernised'. The chancel was lengthened and repairs were carried out to the nave. The building of the tower was probably started early in the 15th century and took 70 yrs to complete. No one really knows why it is called the 'Stump', although it does resemble a tree with its boughs lopped ready for felling.
