BRILLIANT! Air Conditioning in the desert...
except the compressor blew out immediately. Oh well, we were cool for two hours.
imagine Texas...mid 19th century; Imagine Texas...mid August; a shady arbor was as cool as you could get. Throw a couple of bucktes of well water on top, and you had evaporative cooling. This outside cooking area is actually in front of the slave cabins on a cotton farm in Central Texas
Pelican 16 wreck.
It took us about 3 hours desert ride to get to this site and it's polisario guards. Not sure what they are guarding but they are a sad site...
Restored to flying condition by volunteers in 1994, Pelican 16 was offered to take part in the Fairford Military Air Tattoo in the United Kingdom and departed South Africa for England on July 12th, 1994.
The departure from Cape Town (CT) was scheduled for a midnight take-off, on Friday 08 July 1994. The entire flight from CT to the UK, entailed four legs, with stops in between and the routes were planned for as follow:
a. CT to Libreville, Gabon
b. Libreville to Abidjan, Ivory Coast
c. Abidjan to Lisbon, Portugal
d. Lisbon to Duxford, England
(The return flight to SA, one month later, would have been just the reverse of the above route.)
Flown by a group of active SAAF pilots, Pelican 16 was operating over the Sahara desert on the night of July 13th. They were alerted to a warning on #4 engine, indicating signs of overheating, the engine was shutdown, as a precautionary measure and power was increased on the other three engines, in order to maintain the safety altitude.
The propellers on #4 feathered properly. The reason for the indication of overheating, can be contributed to a suspicion of a possible leak within the coolant system. However, within approximately 15 minutes after shutting down #4, sparks were seen emitting from #3, which ensued into flames around the contra-rotating propeller spinners.
The #3 engine was also shutdown, after the flames were successfully extinguished by the activation of the engine fire extinguishing system. However, after shutting down #3, the propellers would not feather completely and remained windmilling at +- 150 RPM.
The aircraft was now rapidly losing height and it was elected to restart #4 to gain height again. Within +- 10 minutes after restarting #4, the engine became so hot, that the exhaust stacks reflected a white magnesium glow. #4 was then shutdown for the second time, but this time round the propellers would not feather completely and they kept windmilling, much faster than those of #3, at +- 650 RPM.
With two sets of windmilling propellers, both on the same wing, a crash landing became inevitable, as asymmetric forces began to gain the upper hand.
The terrain where the crash landing was eventually executed, (approximately 14 km from the Eastern border of West Sahara with Mauritania), was indeed flat sands, but with multiple rocky outcrops in the area. In fact, the impact was, very fortunately, right on top of a slightly raised rocky outcrop and from there the aircraft skidded along the sandy surface, until she suddenly slewed by 90° to the left and thereafter skidded sideways to the right, before coming to a standstill.
The distance from point of impact and coming to a standstill, was paced off later that morning, after it became daylight, to be 243 metres – a very short landing for a Shackleton!
The failure of #3, was determined to be a probable Translation Unit (TU) failure. The TU is situated between the two contra-rotating propellers, inside the engine cowlings. It is attached to the front propeller by three rack bolts and it governs the rear propeller. After removing the front spinner from #3 engine later that morning, quite a few ball-bearings were found to be strewn inside the spinner. That confirmed the suspicion of a TU failure, which resulted on account of the rack bolts that pulled the TU apart. The latter can only be surmised that the cause was on account of the increased RPM on the three remaining engines, after #4 was initially shutdown. Why it happened, is still unknown.
Though none of the crew were seriously injured by the landing, all 19 men were miles from any assistance and in the middle of an active warzone. The crew of Pelican 16 were quickly located and returned safely to South Africa.
Time of the crash landing was at 01h40 GMT.
This is the photo taken from the French rescue aircraft “Pelican 16” taken after the belly landing in the Sahara desert – the ’19 OK’ written on the ground is to inform any rescue aircraft of the number of surviving souls from the crash.
The original sign on the ground was structured by the laying out of a combination of the spare orange flying suits and the single-man dinghies.
The word “OK” is no longer clearly visible when this photo was taken from the Atlantique ll Maritime aircraft, belonging to the French Navy’s 22 Squadron, that was on detached duty at Dakar, Senegal, from where it was scrambled at 04h00 GMT that morning, to conduct the search of the 19 souls of “Pelican 16”.
She is still where she landed – located about 2 hours drive from Zouérat in northern Mauritania in contested territory – lying open to the desert elements and subject to decay as there is no means of retrieving this beautiful aircraft.
PA474 is one of only two Lancaster aircraft remaining in airworthy condition out of the 7,377 that were built (the other is in Canada with the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum at Hamilton, Ontario). PA474 rolled off the production line at the Vickers Armstrong Broughton factory at Hawarden Airfield, Chester on 31 May 1945, just after the war in Europe came to an end, so she was prepared for use against the Japanese as part of the ‘Tiger Force’. However, the war in the Far East also ended before she was deployed and she did not take part in any hostilities. After a period in storage, PA474 was converted for photo reconnaissance work; modifications for these duties included being stripped back to a bare metal (silver) finish and the removal of all her gun turrets. She was then assigned to aerial survey duties with No 82 Squadron in East and South Africa from September 1948 until February 1952.
Lancaster Thumper in 2013 On return to the United Kingdom, PA474 was loaned to Flight Refuelling Ltd at Tarrant Rushton to be used as a pilotless drone, an uncertain future, which would likely have led to her loss. Fortunately, however, before the conversion started, the Air Ministry decided to use a different type of aircraft for the drone programme (a Lincoln) and PA474 was reprieved. She was then transferred to the Royal College of Aeronautics at Cranfield where she was used as a trial platform for the testing of various experimental aerofoil sections between 1954 and 1964; the trial wings being mounted vertically on the upper rear fuselage.
In 1964 PA474 was adopted by the Air Historical Branch with a view to putting the aircraft on display as a static exhibit in the proposed RAF Museum at Hendon. She was flown to Wroughton where she was painted in a camouflage paint scheme, though without squadron markings, and it was during this period that the aircraft took part in two films, ‘Operation Crossbow’ and ‘The Guns of Navarone’. Later in 1964, she was moved to RAF Henlow and grounded in preparation for display at the RAF Museum.
In 1965, Wing Commader D’Arcy, the Commanding Officer of 44 Squadron (then flying Vulcans at RAF Waddington) asked permission for PA474 to be transferred into the care of the Squadron. An inspection found that the aircraft was structurally sound so permission was granted for PA474 to make a single flight from Henlow to Waddington, which it completed in August 1965. At Waddington a restoration programme began on the Lancaster and by 1966 work was progressing well with both the front and rear turrets in place. Permission to fly PA474 regularly was granted in 1967, whilst restoration continued. The Lancaster joined the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight in November 1973 and restoration work on various parts of the aircraft has continued ever since. A mid-upper turret was discovered in Argentina and was brought to Britain aboard HMS HAMPSHIRE; it was fitted to PA474 in 1975. In the same year, the aircraft was adopted by the City of Lincoln, permission being granted for her to display the City’s coat of arms, which will always be displayed on PA474 regardless of what colour scheme she wears.
Measurements: 8.25" tall x 6.5" wide
Condition: Excellent condition. No chips or cracks. Please refer to all photos for this great hand crafted studio art glass vase. Used only for private display.
Manufactured: 2005 Stonington Connecticut
Description: This is a beautifully hand crafted Signed 2005 Jeffrey P'an Prescient Studios Art Glass Crystalis Vase Vessel. Jeffrey's work is a clever reinvention of old world techniques into a modern form. The beautiful patchwork of this vase is the result of his handmade tiles being carefully fused to the surface of a vessel that is then dipped in molten glass. This technique results in a smooth exterior surface, yet lends a distinctive texture on the inside. This texture provides a record of how the piece was made and enhances the color play of light through the piece. Because chemical properties of glass can dramatically influence how texture, color, pattern and form interact, careful planning of a piece is essential. This is a very difficult technique to master.
Perfect for any collector or for practical use.
Information:
P'an follows neither the Venetian style or the Swedish style of glass blowing. Having studied in Venice Italy, he admits that the colored mosaics he uses are a hallmark of the Venetian tradition but instead he prefers to develop his own style, creating something more modern and contemporary. P'an's focus is on clarity and design.
Prescient Studio is on 44 Meadow Ave in Stonington Connecticut.
Artist Statement:
“My work is based on the re-invention of old-world techniques in the design of modern objects. It is important to me to maintain the transparency of the glass, the property that makes it so unique. As the light passes through the vessel blending the colors, patterns and textures from all sides, it highlights the space inside, the essence of the vessel form. Included are examples of production, limited edition and one-of-a-kind work.
I specialize in fusing and blowing glass mosaic into vessel forms. I hand make all of the elements of these designs, the canes, murrines, blocks, tiles and bands that are fused to form the core of the vessels, or to the surface of the vessel. This technique imparts distinctive textures to the glass that add to the color effects by catching or diffusing light in ways that are directly related to the patterns underneath. The texture is also a record of how the vase was made, texture on the inside is a result of a mosaic being fused and then dipped in the molten glass, leaving a smooth finish, while external textures result from the mosaic being fused to the surface. The chemical properties of the glass can also influence how texture, color, pattern and form interact. The tiles used to make the 'Resolution' vase for instance are all the same size and shape when I begin, the different colors react differently to the heat and to each other, so careful planning of the mosaic is crucial.”

This abandoned church in Cuervo is in fairly good condition. Looks like it gets a little maintenance. A cursory search on the net didn't turn up any history. If you like ghost towns, this one is a prize and right along I-40, 16.8 miles east of Santa Rosa, NM.

Complete disassembly of the top & surrounding 4 louvered side panels is necessary to properly access the condenser coils for cleaning with a simple garden hose. You can see quite a difference after I hosed down the right hand side.
Those allergens that kept on pestering your indoor air should be eliminated right away. Now, if you're asking whether having an air conditioning Central Coast unit worsens or helps alleviate those allergies, the answer is YES, it helps.
This is a cartoon character that drew a "poor physical condition of the people."
These illustrations path I have to express the "physical condition is bad various states."
It draws with Photoshop. It is a very unique mascot character.
