Once part of the defences for World War Two RAF Martlesham Heath airfield, the full height entrance and loopholes have been blocked up. All the external brickwork has gone, but the condition looks reasonably good.
The Type-22 Pillbox is a regular hexagon in plan with embrasures/loopholes in five of the six faces and a full or half-height entrance, sometimes with a porch to protect the entrance. The loopholes are suitable for either rifles or light machine gun. Some have a low entrance that allows an extra loophole above. Each wall is about 6ft long and was generally built to the bulletproof standard of 12 inch thick walls, although there is a shellproof versions with walls around 40 inches thick which is commonly found on airfields. Internally there is either a Y or T-shaped anti-ricochet wall (the top of the Y/T is nearest to the entrance) the internal wall also helps support the roof. The Type-22 Pillbox is the second most common pillbox type with 1,347 recorded as being extant. It is easily confused with the common Type-24 Pillbox, which is an irregular hexagon and the less common octagonal shape.
RAF Martlesham Heath airfield has very long history starting in World War I where the ''Royal Flying Corps Aeroplane Experimental Unit'' took up residence in 1917, this unit was renamed in 1924 to become the ''Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment'' (A&AEE) and saw testing of the legendary Supermarine Spitfire, A&AEE remained at RAF Martlesham Heath until September 1939 when it moved to MoD Boscombe Down.
The Expansion era started in 1934 with more RAF stations being built, and existing stations upgraded to a set standard, permanent brick buildings were built to set designs along with standard hangar types and by the outbreak of World War II, RAF Martlesham Heath airfield had expanded and developed into a modern RAF Station. As part of RAF Fighter Command during the ''Battle of Britain'' RAF Martlesham Heath was the most northerly station in No. 11 Group. During the ''Battle of Britain'' the station found itself under attack by the Luftwaffe a number of times before the battle was won and suffered significant damage. A number of RAF aircraft types flew from here including Blenheim’s, Hurricane's, Spitfire's and Typhoon's and was home to famous characters such as ''Douglas Bader'' and ''Bob Stanford Tuck''.
Upon America’s entry into World War II, RAF Martlesham Heath was one of a number of established RAF stations made available to the USAAF becoming USAAF Station 369 and home to the 356th Fighter Group. The 356th had moved from RAF Goxhill to RAF Martlesham Heath on 5th October 1943 initially flying the P-47 Thunderbolt, but converting to the P-51 Mustang in November 1944 for long range missions deep into German territory. The 356th bombed and strafed enemy gun emplacements in the Arnhem area between 17th & 23rd September 1944 in support of ''Operation Market Garden'' and received a Distinguished Unit Citation for their contribution in this operation. As the war ended the 356th had flown 311 missions with the loss of 108 aircraft, the 356th returned to the USA and were finally inactivated on 10th November 1945.
Like many established pre-war stations, RAF Fighter Command returned to RAF Martlesham Heath, however flight operations were somewhat limited until the runway was extended in 1955 to safely operate jet types. a numer units served at RAF Martlesham Heath after World War II including the fledgling ''Battle of Britain Memorial Flight'' which moved to the airfield in 1958 and left in 1961. After this the airfield reverted to care and maintenance status before the Air Ministry closed the facility on 25th April 1963. Today many of the former RAF buildings still stand and are used by local businesses, the restored Control Tower is now surrounded by a housing estate but has been fully restored and is used as a museum containing a number of displays dedicated to the long and fascinating history of the base from before the war to the 1960’s, ''The Eighth in the East'' project was recently instrumental in uncovering the original Revetments next to the Control Tower used to protect parked aircraft.
front door with local alert bell, windup mechanism missing.
Part of the 1929 cast-iron fire alarm box I purchased in June, 2015 which came from New York City.
The post weighs 809# and is being restored to working condition.
This post had the 1970s era electronic police/fire intercom installed in it as most had in the city, the spade handle door shown in some photos is a replacement door to return the artifact back to it's original early function.
The post lacks the internal spring-wound telegraph mechanism but this will be obtained and installed.
Also missing is the spring-wound door bell ringer mechanism, but the bell is intact, this too can be found and restored back to working condition.
If this post had retained it's original paint in reasonably good condition it would be a candidate for simply cleaning and restoration to working order, unfortunately, this post had been slathered with black paint on the bottom half, and is so caked with paint the exquisite details are obliterated, including the "Property of the City of New York in raised letters on the base, therefore I decided to remove the paint back to bare metal and repaint it appropriately, and with the same method that was normally used by the city crews- oil paint applied by brush. This will not be sandblasted as sandblasting etches and damages metal surfaces.
The post would have had a keyless cast iron door in 1929, these were replaced some time in the 30s with the type of spade handle door shown, most if not all of these were cast in aluminum, mine, as some other parts in other boxes I own has the brand name "TENUAL" on it. Best as I could find in researching the name, is that it is a brand name associated with aluminum automobile engine parts made in the 1930s by the "National Bronze and Aluminum Foundry Co. once located in Cleveland, Ohio. Photos of vintage engine parts for sale have been found with the name "TENUAL" in raised letters on these castings, thus, it is entirely likely this foundry cast a number of the updated doors in this style in this period.
Many of the doors were updated again, or updated if they weren't the first time- with a guarded spade handle style door, I do not believe any of these have the "TENUAL" name on them so another foundry was likely used for that series.

Air conditioner leak due to unit 207 using air conditioner non-stop. Leak caused terrible mold problem. HOA paid for repair.
When asked contractors for mold removal, they all asked for HOA name. President last year agreed to pay for common-pipe repair.
We did not use our air conditioner last year because it was not repaired. We repaired it in August 2015.
Good condition Viscount Aerospace Pro single speed bike.
No dents or dings but has the usual paint scrapes and scratches as shown in the pictures.
The frame was repainted at some point in its life by the prior owner.
The very sculptural and thin sloping fork crown by Davis Industries came stock with this version of the Viscount instead of the cast aluminum "death fork" that came in the first models. The price of the fork is probably worth the purchase.
The Viscount frames were made of very thin "aircraft grade" steel and for their age are very light weight.
Headset: Shimano 600 in excellent condition
Bottom bracket: Original but I recently removed it, popped open the seals, cleaned the bearings, and added new grease.
Original leather saddle in great condition.
Shimano 105 cranks with single chainring.
New KMC 1/8" chain.
Original Viscount center pull brake calipers.
Quando flip-flop wheels with 16t freewheel and fixed cog. Deep section alloy rims with used tubes and used Continental Gatorskin tires.
SR Forged stem with original handlebars, Compe brake levers with quick release and Fizik perforated handlebar tape.
55cm (c-c) seat tube x 57cm (c-c) top tube with rear spacing of 125mm
The pictures do a better job at describing the condition than I could ever do in words.

And this old soft water conditioner started leaking in the garage. It's just going to have to get pulled out and disposed. Issue is that it does not have any shutoff valves. It's just sautered directly to copper pipes. So, it's going to be a plumbing job just to get it disconnected

I've been using Wen conditioning cleanser for a bit now and I think it's doing it's job. In this photo, my hair is barely styled- I blow dried it, finger combing it out this morning and didn't put any product in it and it doesn't look totally terrible. That said, I just found out there's a knock-off brand called "Ren" that I saw at Rite Aid the other day for 1/4 of the price (!), so I'll be picking some of that up, since it's not easy for me to justify paying so much for hair cleanser. Also, I need to either dye or cut my hair- the highlights from last year are leaving the ends blond and the roots...or half my head brunette!
