Commandos set their sights on close-combat training
Royal Marines of 40 Commando honed their day and night-fighting skills with a week of intense training in mock towns in Kent. The Norton Manor-based commandos practised close quarters battle on special ranges at Lydd and Hythe, trying out an enhanced rifle sight to improve their already-impressive marksmanship.
Royal Marines of 40 Commando stand guard at the façade of a house on the ranges at Lydd and Hythe in Kent as Exercise Hawk – a week of close-combat training – draws to a close.
The commandos decamped from their base at Norton Manor in Somerset to the two training areas on the Channel.
The ranges at Lydd, about five miles west of Dungeness, have been used by troops for more than 150 years, while those at Hythe, a dozen miles to the east, are two centuries old and are dominated by a couple of Martello towers and Grand Redoubt, built to keep Napoleon at bay.
Some 200 years later, the ranges are in use almost daily – and have been adapted to meet the demands of today’s Armed Forces, with a mock modern-day housing estate, complete with roads, roundabouts and cars, built at both, while the Lydd ranges are strewn with wrecked old armoured vehicles.
40 Commando made full use of their week in Kent, from the annual combat marksmanship test to compound clearance and defending forward operating bases.
There was also the opportunity for the Royals to let loose with heavy weapons and each company carried out nighttime live firing.
And for the first time 40 tested the new ELCAN sight – there’s a small red cross for the aiming point – which is easier to use and better in the dark than the existing sights; troops still need to understand its capability, how to mount it on SA80 rifles and how to zero it – all of which was done in Kent.
For close quarters battle (also known as close combat or, in old parlance, hand-to-hand fighting), a separate sight is fitted on top of the ELCAN sight to allow the commandos to rapidly engage their targets.
As well as live firing, the Norton Manor men also used ‘simunition’ – simulated ammunition, which possesses the dynamics of the real thing, minus the lethality – to add an extra layer of realism to Exercise Hawk.
“40 Commando had plenty of time to practise close quarters skills and the simunition added a realistic dimension to the training,” explained Lt Dougal Loadman.

The Royal Marines were aboard New York conducting joint visit, board, search and seizure training with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), Special Operations Capable (SOC).
New York is conducting operations in the U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa (NAVEUR-NAVAF) area of operations as part of the Wasp Amphibious Ready Group (WSP ARG)-24th MEU (SOC).
The WSP ARG-24th MEU (SOC) is on a scheduled deployment to the NAVEUR-NAVAF area of operations, supporting U.S., Allied and partner interests in the region, including in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, to continue promoting regional stability and deterring aggression.

One finisher soars towards the finish line and surprises everyone by doing a celebratory roll across the line.
Finally got the mill installed, The head for the engine was deemed too expensive to repair. So I am searching for a used one that can be rebuilt.

Die Mühli Hunziken ist eine ehemalige Mühle in Rubigen bei Bern in der Schweiz, die
seit 1974 zu einem Konzertlokal umgebaut worden ist.
Aufgebaut und geführt wurde sie bis am 2.3. J.uni 2.0.1.1 durch P.eter B.urkhart oder fast
besser bekannt als " M.üli - P.esche ". Für die G.eschicke der Mühli und die Ansagen
"... no churz zum hütige Abe ... " und "Isch öper mit em Zug cho?" sind neu die Gebrüder
F.ankhauser und S.ohn T.homas B.urkhart zuständig.
P.eter B.urkhart starb am 2.5. D.ezember 2.0.1.4

.
Ab dem S.B.B - B.ahnhof Rubigen an der S.trecke Bern - T.hun sind es etwa 1.0 - 1.5
Minuten zu Fuss.
.
.
.
Das Ambiente der Mühli ist sehr speziell, im Innern wie auch draussen hat es zahlreiche
Kunst- und Altagsgegenstände ausgestellt. Die U.hr zeigt immer fünf vor zwölf, über der
B.ühne schwebt ein S.chwein mit einer K.rone und ein F.uchs serviert eine G.ans. Von
ganz oben schaut auch E.T. den Konzerten zu und vor der Mühli sitzt J.ohn B.elushi auf
einer S.itzbank.
.
.
Die Bühne ist eher klein und man ist so sehr nahe bei den Musikern , man kann die
Konzerte aber auch von den drei oberen Stockwerken mitverfolgen wo man einen sehr
speziellen Blickwinkel auf die M.usiker hat.

Wer noch nie an einem Konzert in der Mühli war sollte dies bei Gelegenheit mal nachholen.
