Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall police and security guards file and train side-by-side at Smith
Gym, Oct. 28 on the Henderson Hall portion of HBM-HH during semi-annual in-service training. Approximately 100 officers and guards work four watches (shifts), and require the same training. With the exception of a different badge, both security guards and police are required to carry tactical batons, handcuffs, the 9mm pistol and a shotgun while on-duty.

The base of one of the winches used to load slabs at the loading bay. The winch was mounted on the axleboxes still attached to the base and the cable from it passed through a block attached to the overhanging roof.
Thornycroft was a United Kingdom-based vehicle manufacturer which built coaches, buses, Military vehicles and trucks from 1896 until 1977. The company became part of the British Leyland Motor Corporation after being taken over by AEC before the brand was finally dropped in the 1970's. Thornycroft started out with steam vans and lorries. John Isaac Thornycroft, the naval engineer, built his first steam lorry in 1896. This was a 1-ton steam Van, that looks like a cross between a rail guards van and a closed horse drawn wagon. Their first petrol vehicle was in 1902 and the company completed the move into internal combustion engine power in 1907. (In Germany Daimler build a production Gasoline engined truck in 1896). [1]
The company built cars for a short period of time after the move to Basingstoke and claimed to rival Rolls Royce for build quality. A number of examples are in the Milestones Museum in Basingstoke. Thornycroft built there own engines and all the other components used in there vehicles.
Thereafter the vehicle building firm and the marine side (later to become Vosper Thornycroft) were separate companies.
From 1931, Thornycroft used names for their vehicle range - often descriptive and colourful ones.
In 1946 as part of a plan to diversify following the end of War Works (building 20,000 trucks) they started to develop a Combine Harvester, and built a prototype in 1948. The design was by Eli Beavor a local Agricultural engineer rather than the firms own designers. The machine had a 7 ft cut and a drum of virtual the same size. The machine was built from a lot of truck parts and had several design quirks as a result. They used a Thornycroft ER4 4-cylinder petrol engine of 65 hp size mated to a 4 speed gear box and a truck axle, with the drum over the top thus making servicing a problem as well as being top heavy. They built approximately 6 prototypes before dropping the project. The machines were marketed as the "Beavercroft" combine in 1949, but then vanished.[2]
In 1948, the company name was changed to Transport Equipment (Thornycroft) Ltd to prevent confusion with the shipbuilding Thornycroft company. During the 1960s to the 1970s, the hit British sit com Dad's Army, a Thornycroft van was used as Jones the butcher's van.
They were taken over by Associated Equipment Company (AEC), by then Associated Commercial Vehicles Ltd and production was limited to the Nubians, Big Bens and Antars. ACV was then taken over by Leyland who already had a specialist vehicle unit in Scammell, another manufacturer of large haulage vehicles. Thornycroft's Basingstoke factory was closed in 1969 and specialist vehicles transferred to Scammell at Watford.
Today, the Thornycroft name is used by a builder of marine diesel engines for private and light commercial use- the engines being based around small-capacity engines designed by Mitsubishi. Despite Thornycroft being effectively closed down by Leyland, the operation's parent company is now the main provider of spare parts for Leyland-built marine diesels, which for many years were highly popular for use in canal barges and narrowboats (now a market making increasing use of the modern-day Thornycroft engines).

Foto mu borrosa de un Echo Base con diseño dedicado al gran Layne Staley.
El Echo Base es un pedal de delay con modulación de las repeticiones, bastante similar a lo que entrega un Memory Man de Electro Harmonix.
Una de las gracias de este delay es su switch denominado "Tails". Al activar esta modalidad, el sonido del delay se mantiene sonando hasta después de desactivar el pedal. Asà se evita realizar cortes tan bruscos entre un pasaje de guitarra y otro.

The Piper PA-48 Enforcer, a turboprop-powered light close air support / ground attack aircraft, was built by Piper Aircraft in the 1970s. Only four prototype aircraft were built. The Enforcers did not enter the Air Force inventory so they were not given an official military designation, or Air Force serial numbers. Instead, they carried the Piper designation PA-48 and FAA registration numbers. Of the four prototype aircraft produced, two still exist. In 2014, the aircraft in the photograph (N482PE) was restored and put on display at the Air Force Flight Test Museum at Edwards Air Force Base. The other remaining PA-48 (N481PE) is restored and on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
The hub of "80+1" is Linz’s Hauptplatz – the location of the "Base Camp" – the confluence of all the project’s data flows. All exterior walls are steel-clad, and thus covered in the material that absolutely bespeaks the City of Linz. Their reflective surfaces produce surprising optical effects. Depending on how light hits them and the observer’s own perspective, ‘the world’ is continually reflected anew.
The basecamp was designed by any:time Architects (AT)

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany — U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Victor Camacho, a mission readiness spare package journeyman with the 86th Maintenance Squadron, describes daily operation procedures to members of the Republic of Macedonia Army (RAM). The RAM visit to Ramstein was designed to allow them to see transportation, packing and handling operations in action as well as movements into the theater in support of a deploying or deployed unit so that they may developed a more standardized system to assist them in intergrading their operations with the U.S. and NATO.
