Following the raid on the Bin Ladin compound, 13 bricks variously stamped with an “A,” “M,” or “S” were retrieved from a pile of building materials next to the main house. Agency officials presented the first brick to former CIA Director Leon Panetta and this brick to the CIA Museum.
I didn't take a separate photo of the 3F but did take one of the compound No 41173 stored in St Andrews Yard at Derby. I had always liked the Compounds as in the early 50s had many rides behind them between Leeds and Morecambe visiting relatives in the days before we had a family car.
Built at Vulcan Foundry Works No 3846 and new in November 1925 she was withdrawn in February 1959 from 17A Derby and scrapped by A. Loom at Spondon in August 1961.

Arthropod eyes are called compound eyes because they are made up of repeating units, the ommatidia, each of which functions as a separate visual receptor.
Each ommatidium consists of a lens (the front surface of which makes up a single facet) a transparent crystalline cone light-sensitive visual cells arranged in a radial pattern like the sections of an orange pigment cells which separate the ommatidium from its neighbors.
The pigment cells ensure that only light entering the ommatidium parallel (or almost so) to its long axis reaches the visual cells and triggers nerve impulses. Thus each ommatidium is pointed at just a single area in space and contributes information about only one small area in the field of view.
There may be thousands of ommatidia in a compound eye with their facets spread over most of the surface of a hemisphere. (The photo, courtesy Carolina Biological Supply Company, shows the compound eye of Drosophila melanogaster.)
The composite of all their responses is a mosaic image — a pattern of light and dark dots rather like the halftone illustrations in a newspaper or magazine. And just as in those media, the finer the pattern of dots, the better the quality of the image.
Grasshopper eyes, with relatively few ommatidia must produce a coarse, grainy image. The honeybee and dragonfly have many more ommatidia and a corresponding improvement in their ability to discriminate ("resolve") detail. Even so, the resolving ability of the honeybee eye is poor in comparison with that of most vertebrate eyes and only 1/60 as good as that of the human eye; that is, two objects that we could distinguish between at 60 feet could only be discriminated by the bee at a distance of one foot.
