SLIDESCAN: Home of the Dutch Orions was Valkenburg Naval Air Station at Katwijk aan Zee. Since the eighties, in turn, a device placed on the NATO base at Keflavik Iceland and from the mid-nineties on the military part of the Dr. Albert Plesman Airport (Hato) on Curaçao. Initially a device to strengthen the existing two F-27 Maritimes of the Royal Air Force, later this three pieces after the F-27's were put out of service.
To budgetary considerations were late nineties three aircraft from service which went into storage at the company OGMA in Portugal, the other ten were in the United States modernized by Lockheed Martin.
Since the end of the Cold War, the aircraft was also occasionally used for crisis management operations, as the maritime blockade of small-Yugoslavia, the verification mission over Kosovo, Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf region.
In 2003 it was decided to sell the aircraft, the end of 2004 with both Germany (eight pieces) and Portugal (five). The sale closed and in 2006 transferred all Orions and the Naval Air Station Valkenburg lifted.

Fernando Hernández, a Hayward-based educator and artist, has exhibited surrealist mixed media sculptures throughout the Western states. In association with the East Bay Big Read of Rudolfo Anaya's Bless Me, Ultima, Fernando Hernández demonstrated bronze casting techniques at the Hayward Main Library on April 17, 2010. The Big Read is an initiative of the National Endowment for the Arts and the Institute for Museum and Library Services in partnership with Arts Midwest.
Fernando Hernández was born in Mexico City in 1968, and he lived in Mexico until he immigrated to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1984. 1984 is also when he first started making art in a serious manner. He has been a resident of Hayward since 1986.
Fernando Hernández received his MFA from Washington State University in Pullman in 1996 and taught ceramics at California State University until 1998, when he quit to become a freelance sculptor and educator. His mixed media sculptures, consisting of odd, surreal juxtapositions of symbolically charged elements with veiled references to genetics and science have been exhibited throughout the West Coast.
In 1998 he was awarded an Artist in Residency from the California Arts Council. He started working as an educator in local high schools teaching bronze casting and installation workshops. He has continued this work to the present day, often working through grants and in collaboration with local art organizations.
After the residency was over in 2001 he resumed his teaching career by becoming a part-time visiting lecturer teaching sculpture at Diablo Valley College. He currently teaches sculpture at Chabot College.
Starting in 1998 he redirected his artistic efforts towards installation work, often working in collaboration with other artists, students and community groups. The installations, relatively small at the beginning, became more complex over the years. His current and ongoing installation project is called The Columbarium. It is a collaborative project that involves dozens of artists and hundreds of high school and elementary school students.
Originally meant to be a one-time exhibit, Fernando Hernández and collaborating artists have evolved and exhibited The Columbarium more than six times. Although the number of participants and membership of the project fluctuates, it could be said that most participants in any given year have participated in the past. Because of this a small community of friends has evolved that come together seasonally to set up the installation. In 2002 he named this group the East Bay Art Collaborative.

This is an early version with the arm for the cable fixing bolt located at the front. The basic design was based on the earlier Super Competition model (circa 1970) which was the first parallelogram style front derailleur from Simplex.
The "hinge" for the clamp band is hollow. The wide base of the hinge pin seen below the band serves as a cable housing stop and the hollow shaft forms a cable guide directing the derailleur cable upward toward the cable anchor bolt. Unfortunately, the hollow hinge was necessarily wide and the alloy of the band was very minimal which made the upper and lower loops of the front band vulnerable to breakage. When damaged, this always occurred while the derailleur was NOT mounted on a bike. This potential issue was addressed on some (not all) later versions by relocating the parallelogram arm with cable anchor bolt to the rear and replacing the wide hollow hinge pin with a smaller diameter solid pin.
I still prefer the cleverly integrated features of these early models.

The trials vehicle based at Bovington and invariably fitted with so much kit that it is known informally as Megatron, this Challenger 2 at the Tank Museum's Tankfest 2025 provides a view of the iron fist of the British Army's front line. Much of the fleet is about to be upgraded to Challenger 3 standard with hull improvements, a new turret and smoothbore 120mm gun to increase interoperability with other NATO nations: deliveries to production standard should start next year. Shown here during the British Army heavy armour demonstration in the Kuwait Arena concluding the Tankfest 2025 displays.
That was easier and quicker than I expected. Now on to the really fiddly bit - the transition units and scales.
My Blacktron Base, built March 2010 - My biggest moc since i came out from my dark ages - It started as a small outpost, but grew and grew, so that i had to stop the build because i run out of parts - If i ever manage to visit a convention i have to transfer it on a standart baseplate - I also tried to build some playable features and came out with a foldable entrance stairway, a Tower with a roof that can be opened and a foldable Ladder, the big canopie can be removed and there are several balconies to mount the weapons -

NAVAL BASE GUAM (Sept. 4, 2015) The hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) is docked at a pier at Naval Base Guam during Pacific Partnership 2015. Mercy made a port visit to Guam to offload personnel deployed aboard the ship for the past four months for PP15. Pacific Partnership is in its 10h iteration and is the largest annual multilateral humanitarian assistance and disaster relief preparedness mission conducted in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. While training for crisis conditions, Pacific Partnership missions to date have provided real world medical care to approximately 270,000 patients and veterinary services to more than 38,000 animals. Additionally, the mission has provided critical infrastructure development to host nations through more than 180 engineering projects.

On our unit patch we had a bird sitting on a glove or hand. It looked kind of strange and there were bolts of lightening on the patch - hence "The Electric Chickens." The 313th was known as the "Lucky Puppies." The 10th AMU/TFS earned the name "Blue Zoo," although their offical name was "The Sabres," as I recall.
