This a view of some of the watercraft at the Royal Navy/Royal Marine base HMS Royal Prince at Krefeld on the Rhine in 1956. My father was a RM landing craft specialist at the base and took the photo.
After the German surrender in 1945, Germany was occupied in every main town, city and centres of militarism by soldiers, sailors and airmen from the many Allied countries, although primarily the UK, USA, France and Soviet Union. The Royal Navy were well represented with approximately 15 shore establishments, all beginning with either HMS Princess or HMS Royal... From these bases, usually existing close to large cities, the Navy's job was to take surrenders, collect handed-in weapons and ammunition, conduct inspections, oversee and maintain military law, make arrests, check documents and control prison camps, etc etc. The Navy were also present at the major German naval ports of Wilhelmshaven , Cuxhaven, Kiel, Bremerhaven, Hamburg, again, with a HMS Princess or a HMS Royal.....
In late 1946, HMS Royal Prince (international radio callsign GDRD, with an RN Captain in charge and a RM Major as his No. 2), was the home to the Royal Naval Rhine Squadron which operated from 1946 to 1958, ensuring the safe and secure passage of all traffic on the Rhine between the Dutch border and the French zone south of Bonn. The unit also maintained military expertise in the planning and execution of major river crossings in the event of any projected attack by Soviet or Warsaw Pact forces. It also held contingency plans for the close protection (and demolition if necessary) of the key strategic bridges over the River Rhine in the event of any attack by Soviet forces based in East Germany.
Its position was at Uerdingen am Rhein on the outskirts of Krefeld in West Germany, quite close to the Dutch border and 10 miles north of Düsseldorf. Men of the Rhine Squadron called Krefeld the 'Smoky Town' it being on the edge of the industrial Ruhr (a coal-fired power station is partially visible on the far bank beyond the parked barges and railway wagons).
The unit was equipped with armed fast patrol boats and a number of landing craft crewed by both Royal Navy and Royal Marine personnel. Initially known as the Royal Marines Demolition Unit, subsequently Special Boat Section Royal Marines (ultimately absorbed into the current SBS).
Most of the above notes are extracted from www.godfreydykes.info/THE_ROYAL_NAVAL_RHINE_SQAUDRON_RNRS... - which sadly appears to now be defunct.
On the left of the image, five LCMs can be seen, one with the number L7124. Aft of them is a large accommodation/HQ vessel armed with the eight guns (four forward, four aft) fitted with shields; I have not been able to find out anything about it. Outboard of that unit are two German vessels. The grey unit is one of the timber-built, petrol engine-powered former RMLs (rescue motor launches) of the Luftwaffe. The white one is the Carin II, which in an earlier life had been Hermann Goering's yacht; it still exists, having been renovated, and runs under the name Prince Charles. Aft of the accommodation vessel are three more of the ex-Luftwaffe RMLs.
Scanned from a slide, this is an enlarged and improved version of an image I posted a number of years ago. This can be compared and contrasted with an earlier image of the same base from my Dad's first tour - quite a bit of development has occurred on the land behind the boats.

The Perrine Memorial Bridge spans the majestic Snake River Canyon on the northern edge of Twin Falls, ID. The bridge is 1,500 feet long, with a deck height of 486 feet above the Snake River. It is the eighth highest bridge in the United States.
BASE jumpers enjoy the Perrine Bridge year-round as the launching point for parachuting to the canyon floor below. BASE is an acronym which stands for Building, Antenna, Span and Earth. These four categories relate to the types of exit points most typically used by BASE jumpers. Jumping off the bridge is incredible, but I was more impressed that after a jump, the jumpers would climb, up and up and up, from the river to the bridge deck to jump again and again.
Additional Information & Map:
Backstory of this imperial base is a Dark Jedi idolizes Darth Vader, took control of an Imperial base, and added a temple where he/she could worship the Dark Lord of the Sith. Hence the giant statue of Vader.
I originally was going to use that large flashlight of Vader (That's where the idea came from in the first place) but then this guy came out.
On December 21, 2019, I traveled to the Florida State Fairgrounds to visit the Annual Train Show held at the State Fair Grounds. At the show, there were several operating Layouts of various sizes & Gauges, along with Model Trains, Model Cars, Railroad Themed T-Shirts, Hats, Coffee Mugs and various other Memorabilia.
This particular photograph shows a Diorama Scale Model depicting the a Military Base (aka: US Army) Displayed at the Train Show at the Florida State Fair Grounds !
There are many Types of Military Vehicles, such as US Army Tanks, Trucks, Camouflaged Trailer, Wagons & Jeeps. There is also a US Army Boxcar with Fold-Down Sides and Machine Guns Inside.
The Background (aka: Back Board) has a Mountainous Scene with Quonset Huts, a Tunnel Portal and a Pole with an American Flag & a Red Cross Flag. There is also a Helmeted Soldier Guarding the Door to the Office Building (at the Left Center of my Photograph).
DISCLAIMER: One Flaw, is that, two sections of the Back Board do not meet properly, but are tilted leaving a Triangular Gap on the Left Side !
Also, the Truck in Bottom Right Foreground is way too Big to correctly Conform with the (other) HO Scale Vehicles in the Diorama. Even the Trailer Behind it, is a bit too large to be true to the HO Scale of the Diorama.
I had a spare smaller Christmas tree from a bargain Craigslist lot and substituted the big concrete base for a smaller plastic base.

Following withdrawal by Maidstone Borough Council in 1982, former Lancaster Pennine bodied Leyland Leopard PSU4B/2R STD 121L passed to Day & Butland at Hailsham in East Sussex . Here it is seen on display at the Southsea Spectacular Rally which was held on Southsea Common on June 9th 1985. Just visible behind is NAG 116G.
Frank Oliver Howard (b. August 8, 1936), nicknamed "Hondo", "The Washington Monument" and "The Capital Punisher", is a former All-Star outfielder, coach and manager in Major League Baseball who played most of his career for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Senators / Texas Rangers franchises.
One of the most physically intimidating players in the sport, the 6 ft 7 in / 235 lbs Howard was named the National League's Rookie of the Year in 1960, and went on to twice lead the American League in home runs and total bases and in slugging average, runs batted in and walks once each. His 382 career home runs were the eighth most by a right-handed hitter when he retired; his 237 home runs and 1969 totals of 48 HRs and 340 total bases in a Washington uniform are a record for any of that city's several franchises.
Howard is one of four players (along with Harmon Killebrew, Cecil Fielder, and Mark McGwire), to clear the left-field roof at Tiger Stadium. His most memorable home-run at RFK Stadium was on April 25, 1970 when he hit a 500 ft homer into the upper bleachers in left centerfield. The seat which it hit was painted white against the conforming gold to commemorate the event. In a game at Fenway Park, he hit a line drive that struck the center field wall 390 feet from home plate and bounced into Reggie Smith's glove before Howard had even reached first base. During his National League days, Howard also smashed a ball an estimated 560 feet at Pittsburgh's Forbes Field.

I'm getting there. Ceiling and coving done. Two coats of white to cover the red walls, and now ready for a new colour.
On this day, my dishwasher broke, so I had to go buy a new one. Plus also I also bought new basic microwave to replace the one the broke over Christmas. So what with a new washing machine before Christmas, that's the 3 things, so I should be good for awhile :))
