When F-86Ds were upgraded to the F-86L configuration, an AN/ARR-39 datalink receiver was fitted, which had a blade-like antenna sticking out of the fuselage just forward of and below the starboard wing. The AN/ARC-27 command radio of the F-86D was replaced by an AN/ARC-34 set. An AN/APX-25 identification radar was added, and a new AN/ARN-31 glide slope receiver was provided.

All Follow-On aircraft were brought up to F-86D-45 standards before starting with the electronics upgrades, including the installation of the drag chute in the tail. In the F-86L, two protruding cooling air intakes were added to the fuselage sides just aft of the wing, replacing the older recessed cooling ducts. The same J47-GE-33 or J47-GE-17B engine of the F-86D was retained, but the F-86L was fitted with the F-86F-40 wing, with twelve-inch wingtip extensions and "6-3" leading edge extensions with slats. The wingspan and wing area were 39.1 feet and 313.37 square feet respectively. The new wing improved the handing ability and provided better turning at high altitudes. The reconditioned F-86Ls retained the armament of twenty-four rockets of the F-86D.

The first flight took place on December 27, 1955. That particular aircraft had just the SAGE equipment installed, and the first conversion incorporating all of the Follow-On changes did not fly until May of 1956. A total of 981 F-86Ds were modified to the F-86L configuration. After conversion in 1956-57, F-86Ls were issued to most of the ADC wings that were using the F-86D. First to receive the F-86L was the 317th FIS at McChord AFB, which first received the planes in late November of 1956. The service of the F-86L with the ADC was destined to be quite brief, since by the time the last F-86L conversion was delivered, the type was already being phased out in favor of the Convair F-102A and F-106A delta-winged interceptors. The last F-86Ls left ADC service by 1960.

It should be noted that F-86L aircraft were also assigned to the 196th FIS, which was an integral part of Air Defense Command. The 196th FIS was based at Ontario ANGB, and the successor unit is the Guard refueling unit currently based at March Field. (Source: Ray V. Miller).

During the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, six ANG F-86L squadrons were on alert. The last F-86Ls were withdrawn from ANG service during the summer of 1965.

-March Field Air Museum website (www.marchfield.org/)Nicknamed the "Flying Vacuum" because of its low slung jet intakes, the F-89 Scorpion would ingest any loose objects it crossed paths with on the runway. An attempt to place screens over the intakes failed when, at high altitudes, ice formed over the screens and caused the engines to flare out. Designed as an all weather ground attack fighter, the Scorpion was the first US interceptor armed with nuclear air-to-air missiles and the first aircraft to live fire an AIR-2 Genie nuclear air-to-air missile on 19 July 1957.

According to the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA/RSA), Maxwell AFB, AL, the museum's F-89J has the following history:

The aircraft at the March Field Museum is a J model, serial number 52-1949. It was manufactured by Northrop and delivered to the Air Force on 24 November 1954

In June, 1981, it was transported by truck to March AFB Museum. The nose radar equipment was removed and placed into a display case by former radar technician who was in the RAF during WWII. The display shows the many glass radio tubes in use at the time. This aircraft is on loan from the USAF.

This is a photograph from the SSE AIRTRICITY Dublin Marathon which was held in Dublin, Ireland on Bank Holiday Monday 26th October 2015 at 09:00.The Dublin Marathon has been held annually since 1980. The marathon course starts at Fitzwilliam Square in the city center and finishes at Merrion Square. For the past number of years there have been some changes to the configuration of the route at the start and finish due to traffic and transportation infrastructure work around the city center. However the majority of the race proceeds in an anti-clockwise direction around the city passing through the Phoenix Park, Chapelizod, Inchicore, South Circular Road, Walkinstown, Terenure, Clonskeagh, UCD, Stillorgan Dual Carriage Way, Ballsbridge and finishing up Northumberland Road and Mount Street. As always the organisation is first class and this seen just under 13,000 people complete the marathon course.

The weather conditions were not very good for marathon running with runners facing race and windy conditions around much of the course.

Overall the poor weather conditions did not make for very good photographic conditions particularly around the start and finish area where it was a little darker around the tall buildings and streets.

The full set of photographs from the start and the finish are available at our Flickr set for Dublin Marathon 2015 https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157658064057124

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

     ►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

     ►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

     ►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

     ►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

Don't like your photograph here?

That's OK! We understand!

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Showing one configuration of period attachment of the sword belt to the scabbard. This is my most successful recreation of the integrated scabbard belt that was period from the mid-eleventh through the mid-fourteenth centuries.

A great example of this style still exists in the scabbard of Infante Fernando de la Cerda dating to the 1270s. It is also depicted in various forms of artwork including tomb effigies of knights. Probably the most prominent examples of it are the fantastic statues of the patrons of Naumburg Cathedral. Margrave Ekkehard's sword is sheathed in a scabbard very similar to the one I recreated above.

As complex as it may look, this is deceptively simple to accomplish with nothing more than an exacto knife, a punch, and a straight edge. The buckle end of the belt is split into two halves that lace through a series of slits in the scabbard leather. The long end of the belt merely loops around the scabbard.

The scabbard is a modified Albion campaign scabbard; two slats of wood covered with leather, just like the originals.

Midland Air Museum, Coventry, UK - 8 November 1987

The unique P.111 was one of the first aircraft designed to explore the characteristics of the tailless delta wing configuration, and helped pave the way for development of the Avro Vulcan, amongst other significant types. It was retired in June 1958 and was then donated to the Cranfield College of Aeronautics as an instructional airframe. It was one of the first 'major' exhibits acquired by the Midland Air Museum, arriving on long-term loan in July 1975, and it has been on display ever since.

It was presumably still its original yellow colours as seen here, although the other side had been completely rubbed-down (and including the area under the nose on this side), and it was probably repainted not long after.

1963 Porsche 356B Super-90 Coupe

Chassis No. 122550

Engine: 1600 (Super-90)

Transmission: 741 4-Speed

History

The Porsche 356 was the company's first production automobile. It was a lightweight and nimble handling rear-engine rear-wheel-drive 2 door sports car, available in hardtop and convertible configurations. Design innovations continued during the years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsports success and popularity. Production started in 1948 at Gmünd, Austria where approximately 50 cars were built. In 1950 the factory relocated to Zuffenhausen, Germany and general production of the 356 continued until April 1965.

In 1960 Porsche first offered the offered the S90, or 'Super 90' motor as an available option in the 356B.

Porsche Super 90 Engine

Sports Car Graphic reported that the Porsche Super 90 was “tamer in traffic and [in the] lower speed ranges than the 1600 Super. Getting off the mark fast from a standing start takes some practice, as the big carburetors can’t be dumped open too fast. Once the biggest chunk of inertia is overcome, you can [floor the accelerator] and start moving out very fast indeed. In fact, one of the most impressive things about this engine is the feeling of torque -- the sheer push in the shoulders -- that one gets on booting the throttle...”

Objectively, the Super 90 was quick: with less than 10 seconds 0-60 mph in SCG’s test.

Testers generally praised the B’s handling, especially in 1961 when Koni shock absorbers became standard for both Supers, matched by suitably lower spring rates. More significant was a reduction in rear roll stiffness via 23-mm torsion bars and the addition of a transverse leaf spring -- sometimes called a “camber compensator” -- as standard for S90s (optional elsewhere).

Unique features of the Super 90 Engine appealed to performance-minded drivers. Super 90s could be revved about 800 rpm higher than other 356B 1600s thanks to a special cooling layout that gathered in more air, plus nitrided crank and cam-bearing surfaces, a lighter flywheel, stiffer valve springs, light-alloy rockers, larger-diameter (by 5 mm) main bearings, and cylinders lined with Ferral, a coating of steel over molybdenum. S90s also had a unique oil pickup system that allowed the engine to draw lubricant from the sump’s full side in hard cornering, thus ensuring proper lubrication at all times. It was an important advance that Porsche racers had wanted for several years and was especially welcome in the high-performance 90.

1963 was the last year for the 356B, it was succeeded by the 356C.

Presented here is an incredible three-owner example of the rare and highly desirable Super 90 Coupe; special ordered from the Porsche factory in 1962. This rare S-90 Reutter Coupe’s history is complete and well known, with the second owner possessing the car for 40 years! Finished in the gorgeous, yet seldom seen original Bali Blue/Light Brown factory color combination, this beauty has a beautiful older restored with no expense spared and no detail overlooked. An original California Black Plate car with extensive service records and history, this S90 has been well maintained and cared for its entire life.

It is accompanied by all the great accessories and documentation that are so important for a serious collector; spare tire, complete tool kit, reproduction 356B drivers manual, a full set of keys, service documentation, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and Larry Aguilar’s 40-year owner biography.

An original Bali Blue S90 with matching #’s as per Porsche Certificate of Authenticity!

Incredibly restored and immaculate interior with working radio!

One of the most delightful 356’s we’ve ever driven, tight and smooth shifting, great power and tight steering! A great set up!

Rare and Desirable Super 90 Engine!

Fully Restored!

Trust the British to make really nice raingear. The Carradice Pro-Route rain cape is heavy-duty, highly visible, well constructed, and ideal for standard diamond-frame bikes. For recumbents it has one obnoxious flaw: the front zipper has no sewn-in web/backing (like around the tongues of zippered rain boots), and since it's a local minimum, rain collects in the zipper and happily trickles on through. Still working on that...

In other respects it's great, though. It's velcro'd to the Streamer fairing (just like Peder Torgersen's, which was the inspiration for mine) and allows plenty of maneuverability, including access to the front water bottle. Shifting blind and being unable to see the speedometer are only minor nuisances.

Update 21 Nov 2010: Friday night's 12-mile ride in 46F temps with even colder water dribbling down chest and, shall we say, subarctic regions, served only to validate the utter retardedness of a topside zipper. However, the back is also sufficiently long to reach the fairing, so one 180-degree rotation later (plus another strip of sticky velcro), it looks like we have a solution. More cold rain is predicted for the next couple of days, so we'll find out shortly...

Dull screenshot of the configuration of a Drupal view that I took for the question I've asked on Stack Exchange

Composed of 4 separate benches that can be moved and rearranged: 32W x 24D x 30H, Corner 46 x 46 x 24 x 24 x 30H, 42W x 24D x 30H, and 36.5W x 24D x 30H with semi-circular island projection.

Drivers are now following a newly aligned section of highway west of Devonshire Road in Montesano. The temporary roadway configuration gives the crews room to remove and replace the culvert that has been identified as a barrier to fish passage.

I lucked out getting the new business class configuration on the Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Sydney for my snoozing phase of the return journey. Completely flat bed, massage in-built in the chair, big screen tv, herringbone layout of the seats so no leaping required over the person next to you to go for a wander. Very comfy flying!

My other flights had the older configuration which have flat beds but they are positioned on a bit of a slope so you feel like you're sleeping (comfortably though) on a gentle hill.

Needless to say I'm not looking forward to going back to self-funded long-haul economy class international travel after getting a taste of such comfort!

While photographing for this project I took a more creative approach when photographing the ways in which natural surroundings (in this case-the sun) can refresh and enliven our experiences. This shot has a strong influence from Valie Export and her "Body Configuration" idea. This photo was taken on a bell tower against the setting sun in the background. Without the beautiful sunset illuminating the night's sky, this photo would caring far less meaning. This was my favorite photo from the series as I feel it captures my theme in the most creative and abstract way. I look forward to hearing any feedback!

The GOES-R Magnetometer boom, stowed in the launch configuration canister. The magnetometer boom will deploy in space after the GOES-R spacecraft launches, separates from its launch vehicle and undergoes a series of orbit-raising maneuvers. The boom element of the instrument allows the Magnetometer to be much more perceptive of the space magnetic environment, to better forecast space weather. The boom was completed and delivered to Lockheed Martin in Littleton, Colorado, on July 10, 2014. The boom was developed by ATK in Goleta, California.

This is the final configuration of the open computer lab. Here is where the public can come in to research medical information (read: surf the internet). This is a meeting area where the students come in to quickly check their mail, FaceBook/MySpace pages and wait for their group to arrive.

The wings of modern aircrafts do much more than just producing lift, usually serving as fuel tanks and in many cases carrying and transferring thrust from the engines too. In particular, the wings of large aircrafts are fairly complex and use movable surfaces to change their aerodynamic characteristics which must meet a diverse range of requirements throughout the operating envelop of the aircraft.

This video shows the operation of few of the movable surfaces of the wing in a Qantas Boeing 747-400 (landing configuration).

In the clip, the spoilers (the plates on top of the wings that are deployed upwards) and the triple-slotted trailing-edge flaps (the devices extended downwards on the trailing edge of the wing) can be seen in operation. At the start of the video, both the spoilers and the flaps are shown deployed. The spoilers are then lowered and finally the triple-slotted trailing-edge flaps are retracted.

[The following text was extracted from Wikipedia.org]

In aeronautics, a spoiler (sometimes called a lift dumper) is a device intended to reduce lift in an aircraft. The spoiler creates a carefully controlled stall over the portion of the wing behind it, greatly reducing the lift of that wing section. Spoilers differ from airbrakes in that airbrakes are designed to increase drag making little change to lift, while spoilers greatly reduce lift making only a moderate increase in drag.

Slats (not shown in the video) are aerodynamic surfaces on the leading edge of the wings of fixed-wing aircraft which, when deployed, allow the wing to operate at a higher angle of attack. A higher coefficient of lift is produced as a product of angle of attack and speed, so by deploying slats an aircraft can fly more slowly or take off and land in a shorter distance. They are usually used while landing or performing maneuvers which take the aircraft close to the stall, but are usually retracted in normal flight to minimize drag.

Flaps are hinged surfaces on the trailing edge of the wings of a fixed-wing aircraft. As flaps are extended, the stalling speed of the aircraft is reduced, which means that the aircraft can fly safely at lower speeds (especially during take off and landing). Flaps are also used on the leading edge of the wings of some high-speed jet aircraft, where they may be called Krueger flaps

A very strange configuration of a Leopard I Main Battle Tank.

I had difficulties in identifying this particular vehicle.

I noticed the difference with the Leopard I MBT, this one has a lengthend hull, a battery storage compartment in the rear and a generator in the front with, external, an exhaust pipe to the engine compartment.

It was Bas Pos from Maastricht who brought to my attention that this vehicle has a Cheetah PRTL (CA1 Pantser Rups Tegen Luchtdoelen) hull with a Leopard I turret.

Apparently the turret with the twin 35 mm Oerlikon Anti Aircraft guns was replaced with the Leopard I turret before it was shipped off as a target to the CSK Vlieland.

An image of a Cheetah PRTL can be found here; tanxheaven.com/ljs/cheetahljs/01-PRTL-35mm_Cheetah,Oirsch... (picture; Liejon Schoot)

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc EE602, civil registration G-IBSY, in the colors of RAF 129 Squadron EE602 ‘Central Railways Uruguayan Staff’ pictured landing at Duxford during the Duxford ‘Flying Finale’ air show October 2022.

Spitfire EE602

On 11th September 1942 Spitfire MK Vc EE602 was built by Westland in Yeovil, Somerset under contract number B124305/40. When built, EE602 was fitted with the universal ‘C’ wing configuration. This allowed it to be fitted either with 8 machine guns, 4 20mm canons or a mix of 4 .303 machine guns and two 20mm canons. This aircraft had the mix of machine guns and cannons. It was fitted with a Rolls Royce Merlin 46 engine. This produced 1,415 bhp at 3,000 rpm and +16 ib/sq. in. boost at 14.000 ft. EE602 started out with 66 Squadron. 66 was the second Spitfire Squadron to come into existence and fought in the Battle of Britain. She then went to 129 Squadron, in recognition of the large sums of money the Indian Government raised through the sale of War Bonds some squadrons were named after Indian provinces and 129 was named ‘Mysore’ Squadron. Its final squadron was 453 Squadron (RAAF). EE602 completed over 100 Missions including escorting the Flying Fortress ‘Memphis Belle’ back to the English coast after her now famous 25th Mission with 129 sqdn, until she was damaged in a taxying incident and taken off charge.

Central Railways Uruguayan Staff’

Individuals, companies, clubs, or counties could buy their own Spitfire.’ They had to collect £5,000 for their donation. One such company was the Uruguayan railways. Run at the time by British expats. This is the reason you find ‘Central Railways Uruguayan Staff’ on EE602’s side.

Mk V / Vc

The basic Mk V was a Mk I with the Merlin 45 series engine. This engine delivered 1,440 hp (1,074 kW) at take-off, and incorporated a new single-speed single-stage supercharger design. Improvements to the carburettor also allowed the Spitfire to use zero gravity manoeuvres without any problems with fuel flow. Several Mk I and Mk II airframes were converted to Mk V standard by Supermarine and started equipping fighter units from early 1941. The majority of the Mk Vs were built at Castle Bromwich. More Spitfire Mk Vs were built than any other type, with 6,487 built. The Vc variant had several improvements over the earlier Mk V variants such as a strengthened fuselage, improved windscreen and wings with bulged fairings to accommodate ammunition for the wing canons. It was also the first Spitfire to be sent overseas in large numbers was the Mk Vc (trop). The majority of these were used by Allied squadrons in the Mediterranean theatre (including North Africa), Burma and in Australia with No. 1 Fighter Wing RAAF.

The Autobianchi Bianchina is an automobile produced by the Italian automaker Autobianchi, based on the Fiat 500. It was available in various configurations: Berlina (saloon), Cabriolet (roadster), Trasformabile (convertible), Panoramica (station wagon), and Furgoncino (van). The car was presented to the public on September 16, 1957 at the Museum of Science and Technology in Milan.

Initially, the car was equipped with the smallest Fiat engine, air-cooled 479 cc producing 15 hp (11 kW). In 1959, the engine power was increased to 17 hp (13 kW) and in 1960, the cabriolet version was launched.

In the same year, the Trasformabile, whose engine cylinder capacity was increased to 499 cc (18 hp), was made available in a Special version with bicolour paint and an engine enhanced to 21 hp (16 kW). In 1962, the Trasformabile was replaced by a 4-seat saloon. The engine and chassis were the same as in the Trasformabile.

In 1965, a minor facelift was made.

In 1970 Bianchina went out of production, replaced by the more modern A112.

Die Autobianchi Bianchina ist ein Kleinstwagen des italienischen Automobilherstellers Autobianchi. Der Pkw wurde von 1957 bis 1969 gebaut. Bei der Bianchina handelte es sich um einen Fiat Nuova 500 mit Sonderkarosserie.

Angeboten wurde ein zweisitziges Klein-Coupé mit Faltschiebedach, auch als Bianchina Speciale mit dem leistungsstärkeren Motor des Fiat 500 Sport (1957/58 bis 1962), eine zweitürige Limousine (auch mit dem Sport-Motor), ein Cabrio und auch eine Kombivariante namens Panoramica (in Deutschland Panorama genannt), welche technisch, aber nicht vom Aufbau her mit dem Fiat 500-Kombi identisch war.

Technisch folgte die Bianchina stets den Änderungen am Fiat 500; der Motor maß zunächst 479 cm³ wie im Nuova 500, später 499,5 cm³ wie im 500 D. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit der Fahrzeuge betrug rund 90 km/h.

1969 wurde die Produktion der Bianchina-Baureihe beendet.

Dafür rückte die bis 1977 produzierte Autobianchi Giardiniera ins Programm. Dies war der praktisch unverändert weitergebaute, bei Fiat selbst aufgegebene Fiat 500 Kombi.

85 West 1st Ave, Vancouver, BC.

The building was renovated to the present configuration just prior to 2010 Olympics.

Historic Place:

The historic place, a familiar local landmark, is the large, red, wood industrial building at 85 West 1st Avenue, Vancouver, built in or around 1930 and located on city-owned land in South East False Creek.

Heritage Value:

The Vancouver Salt Company Building has heritage value for representing the secondary food-processing industry and the diversification of the local economy to meet the needs of the fishery; for its architectural and structural qualities; as a rare intact survivor of the industrial buildings that once dominated South East False Creek (SEFC); and as a neighbourhood landmark. SEFC was, through much of the twentieth century, a beehive of industrial activity. Most industries located here for access to water, rail, and road transportation. Heavy industrial uses, such as sawmills and steel fabrication, prevailed. The subject site was used from the early 1900s for gravel storage.

The Vancouver Salt Co. operation was important technologically for the means of

extraction, for using False Creek to transport goods, for its contributions to other

industries, and for the way in which ownership changes illustrate patterns of international trade and corporate acquisition. Unrefined salt was shipped to Vancouver from the San Francisco Bay Area, where it had been recovered from brine by solar evaporation. This unusual technique was traditional to the Bay Area, originating with the Ohlone Indians and continued by the Spanish missionaries. The Vancouver-bound salt was extracted by the Leslie Salt Refining Co. of Newark, California (acquired in 1978 by Cargill Inc.), which owned the Vancouver Salt Co. The operation changed to Arden Vancouver Salt Co. Ltd. in 1970 and was later acquired by Domtar Ltd. By the late 1980s the building was used for paper recycling: first by Belkin Paper Stock Ltd. and then by Paperboard Industries. Raw salt was unloaded at Burrard Inlet and brought by scow to False Creek, where the Vancouver Salt Co. ‘semi-refined’ it by washing, drying, grinding, and sifting it into a coarse product fit for human consumption. The original market was as a preservative for the fishery, particularly the area’s Asian-Canadian fish-packers. Subsequent uses included other kinds of food-packing, tanneries, cold-storage plants, and highway ice removal. By 1950 rail and then trucks replaced boats for receiving and shipping the salt, reflecting changes brought about by the development of wheeled transport.

The building has heritage value as a pragmatic and attractive response to the needs of the salt operation and the site. It was built about 1930, squeezed between two lumber operations and mostly on a City-owned water lot, with only the southwest corner situated above the historic high water line. The original structure, a block about 90 by 145 feet, is supported on piles. A complex roof truss system directs the loads onto columns in the lateral walls and down the centre, creating a large open space. A raised monitor roof has a clerestory to admit light and air. The expansion of the building to the north in 1954-55 (Wright Engineers Ltd.) speaks to the growing demand for salt and the evolving refinery technology. New equipment was accommodated in part by building a roof over the existing 35-foot-deep apron at the rear, the former loading dock. The gable-roofed eastern portion held four large brine tanks, and the shed-roofed western part became a dry storage shed. A new hopper and conveyor were installed by the 1st Avenue loading dock, since the raw salt now arrived by truck. The conveyor may have necessitated raising the roof, which would date the tall silo-like cap at the front to this time. Minor alterations were made in 1970 for the Arden Vancouver Salt Co. Ltd. (Richard E. Cole, Engineer). The replacement of the salt-processing machinery with paper-shredding equipment in 1987 reflects the growing importance of the recycling industry. Belkin Paper Stock Ltd. also clad the sides with galvanized steel and cut new doors in the north elevation (De Guriby Ltd., Engineers, and Amundson Construction Co. Ltd). The building stands empty today, displaying physical evidence of its evolution and its uses.

Character-defining Elements:

- Broad building with a medium-sloped roof and gable at the front (south)

- Monitor roof, with a clerestory containing a row of 15-pane windows and cedar

ventilation louvres

- Taller, silo-like, gable-roofed feature at front of monitor

- Small-paned windows on the front elevation

- Loading dock at the front, protected from the weather by a shed roof

- Wood stud walls, covered externally with diagonal sheathing and horizontal

finished siding

-

- Large, open interior space, interrupted only by a row of columns down the centre

- Elaborate roof truss and knee braces, composed of wood members with metal

fastenings and hardware

- Two salt hoppers along the side wall (inside the building)

- Profile of main gable and monitor roof seen from the rear (north)

- Location on the axis of Manitoba Street

- Wetland beneath building

This is a photograph from the start second annual running of the Renault Mullingar Half Marathon which was held on Friday 17th March 2017 St. Patrick's Day Lá Fhéile Pádraig 2017 in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland at 10:30. Following on from the incredible success of the first two years of the race this year the total numbers participating rose from just under 600 in 2015, 900 in 2016 to over 1200 in this year 2017. As was the case last year the nominated charity was Childline. The roots of the successs of the event last year was the perfect running weather, excellent organisation and a very flat and fast route. All of these characteristics were repeated this year.

Last year's weather was not repeated. Indeed the race could be described as a race of two halves in terms of weather. The first half participants had the strong, fresh westerly wind on their backs. However, turning for home along the Royal Canal this became a very strong headwind for 3 - 4 miles. Participants travelled from all over Ireland with a very large participation from runners around Mullingar and the midlands. The race has an AAI permit. The race's early start time was to facilitate the annual St. Patrick's Day parade which brings a large number of local visitors to the town on an annual basis. Parking is free in Mullingar town for the entire day. A small change to the course configuration seen the race cross the M4 Motorway at The Downs via a winding pedestrian footbridge.

The race began on Pearse Street/Austin Friar's Street in the town and proceeds North East out of the town to the N52 Delvin/Dundalk road towards Lough Sheever. The course then follows beautiful rural country roads out to The Downs at the M4. The only significant hill or rise on the course occurs here at about 7 miles when runners cross a pedestrian footbridge over the M4 near Junction 14 Thomas Flynn and Sons The Downs. The race then joins the now local access route of the old N4 road and then joins the Royal Canal at Great Down. The remainder of the race follows the Royal Canal back westward to Mullingar town. The towpath on the Canal is perfectly flat and in excellent condition. Runners will notice how the level of the canal changes dramatically along the route - at points the canal is level with the towpath. In other places the canal is at least 3 meters lower than the canal path. However the path is perfectly flat and firm the whole way. The course then leaves the Royal Canal at the Ardmore Road/Millmount area of the town and finishes in the Mullingar Town Park on Austin Friar's Street beside the Annebrook Hotel which is the Race Headquarters. The park provides a very nice setting for the finish of the race and runners and their families can mix and congregate around the finish area and the hotel.

Materials used and configuration of Tunnel No. 1 (diagram courtesy of CHPRC)

With the wheels removed by way of quick releases, the anhanger / stretcher carrier becomes a sled. If the road bed has compacted snow and ice on an incline, then it's a good idea to hold onto this anhanger as it will slide away otherwise.

The beam rifle has been remade into a more solid design. As it is mentioned in an earlier picture, its first configuration has a handheld beam rifle for its primary armament, two shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, and two forearm-mounted beam sabers. This is a balanced and neutral setup that has no major advantages nor disadvantages.

This is a photograph from the SSE AIRTRICITY Dublin Marathon which was held in Dublin, Ireland on Bank Holiday Monday 26th October 2015 at 09:00.The Dublin Marathon has been held annually since 1980. The marathon course starts at Fitzwilliam Square in the city center and finishes at Merrion Square. For the past number of years there have been some changes to the configuration of the route at the start and finish due to traffic and transportation infrastructure work around the city center. However the majority of the race proceeds in an anti-clockwise direction around the city passing through the Phoenix Park, Chapelizod, Inchicore, South Circular Road, Walkinstown, Terenure, Clonskeagh, UCD, Stillorgan Dual Carriage Way, Ballsbridge and finishing up Northumberland Road and Mount Street. As always the organisation is first class and this seen just under 13,000 people complete the marathon course.

The weather conditions were not very good for marathon running with runners facing race and windy conditions around much of the course.

Overall the poor weather conditions did not make for very good photographic conditions particularly around the start and finish area where it was a little darker around the tall buildings and streets.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

     ►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

     ►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

     ►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

     ►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

Don't like your photograph here?

That's OK! We understand!

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
