I acquired these lighters in Bosnia; the design - rounded corners & simplicity and ease of use - took my breath away...they are little works of art! They have no makers name or country of origin on them, and I have never seen these anywhere else, certainly not in the UK.

In a Film Subscription Box from AnalogHeld, I got a roll of Fomapan F21. While I've heard of Fomapan, I had never heard of F21, which used to be a popular film. The expiry was dated 1990, so not too bad, but it was also made east of the Iron Curtain. There was a datasheet, but it only listed two developers, Fomadon N and Fomadon P, neither of which I had heard of, and the only developer I could find through a Flickr search was Rodinal 1+50 for 10.5 minutes. So, it was on my list to see if I could shoot another film with the same development time/dilution/approximate speed. I used Svema FN64 as a baseline and used the D-76 time. And the results were better than I expected.

Lincoln Cathedral is one of the best in the country (in a country that is spoilt for amazing cathedrals). When Westminster Abbey turned down the producers of The Da Vinci Code's request to film there (because the book is "theologically unsound") their second choice was Lincoln.

In 2008 we went to Pueblo Grande for the Annual Indian Market in Phoenix. The Navajo (Diné) Code Talkers played a vital role in winning World War II in the Pacific. Only one of the original 29 Code Talkers is still living. However, after they were established in 1942 there were approximately 400 Code Talkers.
During the early months of WW II Japanese intelligence experts broke every code the US forces devised. They were able to anticipate American actions at an alarming rate. With plenty of fluent English speakers at their disposal, they sabotaged messages and issued false commands to ambush Allied troops. To combat this, increasingly complex codes were initiated. At Guadalcanal, military leaders finally complained that sending and receiving these codes required hours of encryption and decryption—up to two and a half hours for a single message. They rightly argued the military needed a better way to communicate.
When Phillip Johnston, a civilian living in California learned of the crisis, he had the answer. As the son of a Protestant missionary, Johnston had grown up on the Navajo reservation and was one of less than 30 outsiders fluent in their difficult language. He realized that since it had no alphabet and was almost impossible to master without early exposure, the Navajo language had great potential as an indecipherable code. After an impressive demonstration to top commanders, he was given permission to begin a Navajo Code Talker test program.
Their elite unit was formed in early 1942 when the first 29 Navajo Code Talkers were recruited by Johnston. Although the code was modified and expanded throughout the war, this first group was the one to conceive it. Accordingly, they are often referred to reverently as the original 29. Many of these enlistees were just boys; most had never been away from home before. Often lacking birth certificates, it was impossible to verify ages. After the war it was discovered that recruits as young as 15 and as old as 35 had enlisted. Age notwithstanding, they easily bore the rigors of basic training, thanks to their upbringing in the southwestern desert.
The code was as ingenious as it was effective. It originated as approximately 200 terms—growing to over 600 by war's end—and could communicate in 20 seconds what took coding machines of the time 30 minutes to do. It consisted of native terms that were associated with the respective military terms they resembled. For example, the Navajo word for turtle meant tank, and a dive-bomber was a chicken hawk. To supplement those terms, words could be spelled out using Navajo terms assigned to individual letters of the alphabet—the selection of the Navajo term being based on the first letter of the Navajo word's English meaning. For instance, Wo-La-Chee means ant, and would represent the letter A. In this way the Navajo Code Talkers could quickly and concisely communicate with each other in a manner even uninitiated Navajos could not understand.
Once trained, the Navajo Code Talkers were sent to Marine divisions in the Pacific theater of WWII. Despite some initial skepticism by commanding officers, they quickly gained a distinguished reputation for their remarkable abilities. In the field, they were not allowed to write any part of the code down as a reference. They became living codes, and even under harried battle conditions, had to rapidly recall every word with utmost precision or risk hundreds or thousands of lives. In the battle for Iwo Jima, in the first 48 hours alone, they coded over 800 transmissions with perfect accuracy. Their heroism is widely acknowledged as the lynchpin of victory in the pivotal conflict.
Old code lines at Sparrowbush, NY left behind from the Erie Railroad still hang along side the rails of the former Delaware Division. Their purpose these days is only to sing in the wind and give birds a place to rest their wings.
