In 2012 we received from NASA an order for 6 new models of International Space Station. NASA requested to modify our current model in order to represent the latest changes and additions to ISS so the model will depict the most current and updated configuration.
The foam lining in the transit cases for modified models was adjusted accordingly to accommodate the models and new separate elements.
Along with the order of 6 modified models for NASA we also produced one model in luxury edition for CERN, which was shipped to Geneva, Switzerland and receive excellent feedbacks for its accuracy and versatility.

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!

Two Brampton Transit NovaBus LFSs with newly installed bicycle racks photographed from the same vantage point at Conestoga Drive and Elmvale Avenue. On the left, number 0635 on Route 23 is heading west to Mount Pleasant GO Station via Sandalwood Parkway while the bus on the right, number 0815, is following Route 3 to Shoppers World via McLaughlin Road. Both have just departed Heart Lake Terminal. Brampton Transit, like many transit jurisdictions, identifies the year in which the vehicle was placed in service by the first two digits in the ID number. Thus 0635, among the first NovaBuses operating in Brampton first saw service in 2006 while 0815 arrived in 2008. Subtle differences in the two series can be seen in the configuration of the headlights (see notes). Brampton Transit now equips all its buses with bicycle racks. Wonder when we will see one in use?
latest configuration:
Vixen Polarie on Sxg-71 tripod (this is the tripod that comes with the Photo guider)
Borg fork mount for slow mo control.
Canon 500D with RDF cos cant use laser pointer at star parties.
Polar Alignment with Vixen Polar Scope (great engineering work but a pain to use because its not illuminated. Figuring out a DIY illuminator soon)
Tripod legs has Kick-me-nots (led lights from Astro Gizmos, Jeff was at the star party)
Kicking the tripod is a real hassle because you have to polar align again. Actually putting the lights on the front of your shoes makes more sense so you know where the tip of your shoes are.
The Borg Fork mount is great for slo-mo but a little fiddly to use at night. You need to get used to which knobs to turn, in the dark.
Last thing - cover everything with Red cellophane - back of DSLR, laptop on switches etc.. You be amazed how much white light comes from the various equipment.
pete configured extra weight beneath the tripod for extra stability. winds were forecast to increase to 30 mph on the 3rd night with freezing temperatures.
97 East 2nd Avenue, Vancouver, BC.
The building was renovated to the present configuration in 2013.
Statement of Significance:
Description of Historic Place:
Located at the corner of East 2nd Avenue and Quebec Street, the Opsal Steel Building is an important, surviving and excellent example of early twentieth century industrial architecture. It is a legacy of the industrial history of the southeast False Creek area.
Heritage Value:
The heritage value of the Opsal Steel Building lies in its contextual and architectural value.
The building was designed by architect T. H. Bamforth and built by Dominion Construction in 1918. It has long been known as the Opsal Steel Company ""OSCO"" and its distinctive Art Moderne addition was added in the early 1940’s.
The building is a landmark at the corner of East 2nd and Quebec and is a very visible reminder of the area’s - and the city’s - industrial past. There is a brick manufacturing building directly across the street to the south, a vacant lot diagonally opposite, a low-rise industrial building opposite to the east and the large concrete structure of Mario’s gelato factory across the lane. Its long linear profile to East 2nd Avenue is an important part of its contextual value.
The building is composed of a pair of long gable-roofed ranges parallel to East 2nd Avenue, made up of heavy-timber frame, two-storey high bays. A low roof element connects the two ranges mid-site. A series of rooftop light monitors are found on the northern lane-fronting range. Originally clad in board and batten siding, the building has for some time been clad with horizontal wood siding, painted a box-car red. Multi-paned sliding windows are found at regular bay spaces along the facade. An important part of the southern facade is the painted sign ""Opsal Steel Limited - OSCO - Logging Equipment"". The part of the building at the corner of Quebec and East 2nd is a stucco-clad Art Moderne section, housing administrative offices; it has horizontal banded windows and until recently had a sign ""Opsal Steel Ltd."" in Moderne era metal letters.
The exterior of the building is largely original, although there have been some changes over time. The building has suffered a considerable amount of deterioration over the past decade, with major decay in the lower sections of the wooden siding, windows and the roof. Inside the building are a number of interesting artifacts related to the casting and manufacturer of steel equipment for the logging industry, including a gantry crane and wooden casting moulds.

Character-Defining Elements:
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Opsal Steel Building include its:
- location in the southeast False Creek industrial area
- landmark visibility at the corner of West 2nd Avenue and Quebec Streets
- facade, comprised of long low horizontal frontage along West 2nd Avenue
- two parallel ranges of low-pitch gabled roofs
- regular pattern of rooftop monitors on northern range of building
- repetitive pattern of window openings
- simple wood-frame multi-paned sliding windows
- Art Moderne streamlined addition
- large open interior volume in two parts
- exposed timber frame and trusses
- gantry cranes
The baseline configuration of the Oshkart SMTV (Scalable Medium Tactical Vehicle) family, the Mk601A is the standard two-door 6x6 cargo hauler configuration.
Features include opening doors and top hatch, a cab capable of seating 2 minifigs with body armor and headgear, foldable gunner’s seat, turning front wheels, center-pivoting rear axles, and spare tire with lift arm.
A special thanks needs to be given to Abdullah750Pakistan. This originally started as a project to clean up and make a buildable and more minifig-friendly version of his Ural 63708. As you can see though, it’s turned into a project to create a series of trucks in the same vein of the Oshkosh MTVR, Navistar 7000 MV, and Ural 63704-0010 families.
As with my other builds, all parts used in this are real production pieces.

This is a photograph from a set of photographs taken at the St. Coca's AC 5KM Road Race 2017 which was held in Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 20:00 on Friday 30th June 2017. This superb road race is now firmly established again as one of the fastest and best organised road races of its kind in Leinster. The race follows a left handed course around a well known local walking route around Laragh and in the closing kilometer runs parallel to the Royal Canal into the finish at the railway station in the town having started at the primary school close to the St. Coca's running track. In fact for several hundred meters after the 4KM marker towards the finish the course runs parallel with the railway, canal and the R148 between Kilcock and Maynooth. This geographic feature is one of only a small number towns with this parallel configuration in all of Europe.
The members of St. Coca's AC and the many volunteers from the local community must be given great praise for organising another fantastic night of racing for runners, joggers, and walkers. The 5KM course is very flat with the exception of short incline up a motorway overpass and makes its way along narrow country lanes sheltered on either side by hedgerows. These roads offer a great contrast from the urban population of Kilcock which has grown as a satellite town of the greater Dublin area. The nice summer evening made for an enjoyable night for everyone with a large crowd gathering at the finish to cheer on participants. Refreshments and prize awards were held in the Gaelscoil near to both the race start and close to the St. Coca's running track. Running clubs and groups from all over Leinster and beyond were represented in the race tonight.
Electronic timing and event management was provided by Irish company MyRunResults.com (Website: www.myrunresults.com/)

The radial engine is a reciprocating type internal combustion engine configuration in which the cylinders point outward from a central crankshaft like the spokes of a wheel. It resembles a stylized star when viewed from the front, and is called a "star engine" (German Sternmotor, French Moteur en étoile) in some languages. The radial configuration was very commonly used in aircraft engines before turbine engines became predominant.
Wright's 225 hp (168 kW) J-5 Whirlwind radial engine of 1925 was widely acknowledged as "the first truly reliable aircraft engine". Wright employed Giuseppe Mario Bellanca to design an aircraft to showcase it, and the result was the Wright-Bellanca 1, or WB-1, which was first flown in the latter part of that year. The J-5 was used on many advanced aircraft of the day, including Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis with which he made the first solo trans-Atlantic flight.
In 1925, the American rival firm to Wright's radial engine production efforts, Pratt & Whitney, was founded. The P & W firm's initial offering, the Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp, test run later that year, began the evolution of the many models of Pratt & Whitney radial engines that were to appear during the second quarter of the 20th century, among them the 14-cylinder, twin-row Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp, the most-produced aviation engine of any single design, with a total production quantity of nearly 175,000 engines.
The baseline configuration of the Oshkart SMTV (Scalable Medium Tactical Vehicle) family, the Mk601A is the standard two-door 6x6 cargo hauler configuration.
Features include opening doors and top hatch, a cab capable of seating 2 minifigs with body armor and headgear, foldable gunner’s seat, turning front wheels, center-pivoting rear axles, and spare tire with lift arm.

1972 TOYOTA FJ55 LAND CRUISER
Like its competitors from Land Rover and Jeep, Toyota Land Cruisers have traditionally been offered in various configurations and models simultaneously, which is still the case today outside of the American market. The recent surge in popularity of the FJ40 has made it the most widely recognized of the “classic” Land Cruisers, however, there were other models available concurrently that offer the same legendary toughness and go-anywhere capability that the FJ40 is famous for.
Toyota supplemented the Land Cruiser lineup in 1968 with a more civilized station wagon model designed to appeal to North American and Australian buyers. This new model featured reworked styling on a long-wheelbase chassis that was all around more comfortable for family use than the utilitarian FJ40. Sitting on a long-wheelbase chassis with the same 3.9 liter F-series inline-six cylinder as its 40-series brethren, the FJ55 was a step above the FJ40 in terms of space and all-round comfort. While officially known as the FJ55, it has become colloquially known as “The Moose” or the “Iron Pig” thanks to its somewhat unconventional and brutal looks. Such nicknames may have had a derogatory slant at first, but today, these trucks are widely respected for their rarity and ruggedness. The looks have aged gracefully and it has wholly earned its place as a cult classic. There’s no doubting the importance of this model either, as today’s ultra-luxurious and capable Land Cruisers can trace their lineage directly back to the FJ55. From 1968-1975, the FJ55 was available in the North American market with the venerable F-series six-cylinder engine. As with any classic off-roader, many examples suffered from corrosion thanks to a lifetime of service in the types of harsh environments where these rugged trucks thrived, and a specialized market means restorations can be difficult, leaving few examples left in the market today. Collectors have begun to pay serious attention to the FJ55 given the recent increase in value of its vastly more common sibling, the FJ40.
This outstanding FJ55 comes to us in fully restored and highly correct condition. Starting with a rust-free California truck, an Arizona-based Toyota enthusiast embarked on a comprehensive, nut and bolt, body off restoration that has resulted in one of the finest examples of its kind. All standard FJ55s were offered in two-tone color combinations, and this truck’s wonderful Royal Blue (also called “Smurf Blue” by fans) and Alpine White paint scheme is among the most striking available. The body is remarkably straight and sound, far and above the quality of the average 55-series, and the paint is beautifully laid down with deep gloss. Exterior trim is minimal as Toyota cleverly used the two-tone paint to break up the body and accentuate the shape. What trim there is, is limited to side and rear emblems, some bright window moldings, a chrome mirror and a pair of very sturdy and functional painted steel bumpers. This truck rides on a set of factory correct steel wheels with dog-dish hubcaps and chunky off-road tires that are perfectly proportioned, giving a fantastic stance. As part of the full restoration, all of the rubber seals and body gaskets have been replaced, giving this truck a tight, like-new feel.
The interior of the FJ55 could hardly be described as luxurious, but our featured truck has been incredibly well restored and presents in fabulous condition. Its rugged functionality comes through in basic black vinyl trim, an austere but sensibly laid out dash panel and easy-clean rubber floor mats. Options and equipment include seat belts, radio, factory heater and even air conditioning.
The 3.9 liter F155-series inline six has been fully detailed to factory standards with virtually every nut, bolt and bracket refinished or plated in gold cadmium. Given that these trucks thrive in harsh, off-road situations, it is exceptional to see one in near showroom-new condition. The torquey inline six is mated to the original three-speed manual gearbox and a four-wheel drive transfer case with lockout front hubs. In its day, few civilian vehicles could match the FJ55 for its off-road prowess and six-passenger capability. While the FJ40 may be the fashionable choice among many of today’s collectors, the FJ55 offers enhanced utility, unique style and greater exclusivity in a fun and rugged package. It is exceptionally rare to find an FJ55 that has been restored to such a high standard and this beautiful truck is ready for any adventure you have planned.

1972 TOYOTA FJ55 LAND CRUISER
Like its competitors from Land Rover and Jeep, Toyota Land Cruisers have traditionally been offered in various configurations and models simultaneously, which is still the case today outside of the American market. The recent surge in popularity of the FJ40 has made it the most widely recognized of the “classic” Land Cruisers, however, there were other models available concurrently that offer the same legendary toughness and go-anywhere capability that the FJ40 is famous for.
Toyota supplemented the Land Cruiser lineup in 1968 with a more civilized station wagon model designed to appeal to North American and Australian buyers. This new model featured reworked styling on a long-wheelbase chassis that was all around more comfortable for family use than the utilitarian FJ40. Sitting on a long-wheelbase chassis with the same 3.9 liter F-series inline-six cylinder as its 40-series brethren, the FJ55 was a step above the FJ40 in terms of space and all-round comfort. While officially known as the FJ55, it has become colloquially known as “The Moose” or the “Iron Pig” thanks to its somewhat unconventional and brutal looks. Such nicknames may have had a derogatory slant at first, but today, these trucks are widely respected for their rarity and ruggedness. The looks have aged gracefully and it has wholly earned its place as a cult classic. There’s no doubting the importance of this model either, as today’s ultra-luxurious and capable Land Cruisers can trace their lineage directly back to the FJ55. From 1968-1975, the FJ55 was available in the North American market with the venerable F-series six-cylinder engine.

I've wanted to try out this diagonal configuration for a while.... It was nice to sit on the porch swing and have Mathew sit inside on the couch and we could have a conversation.
KATL (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport) - 19 JAN 2015
Business Elite section of N1610D (international configuration) - Boeing 767-300ER with lay-flat seats. I flew in this plane from LAX to ATL (DAL1354) - overnight flight on 18-19 JAN 2015. I usually have a window seat and I liked these seats better than the 777-200LR seats. I was in seat 5A and had two large windows to look outside.
No Wi-Fi because it is an international configuration. Not a problem for me.

Through 2014 our 1:100 scale model of International Space Station was further modified.
By the request from NASA we performed a few minor changes in ISS configuration - moved a few masts and small details. Replicas of Space Shuttle, ATV and CEV "Orion" were excluded from the set of accompanying logistics vehicles. Instead we developed and added replicas of Dragon and Cygnus spacecraft.
The model itself, however, was significantly upgraded. We made the internal support system even more durable, yet lighter, by using carbon fiber elements. Side supports were added, which increased model's stability. A great number of solar panels and other thin and vulnerable parts were replaced with metal equivalents.
The transit case foam lining and transport configuration of the model were also modified. The main solar arrays are transporting now detached from the model - it reduced the stress on the model itself and the solar arrays.
The models became stronger than ever, production time - reduced, transportation - became safer.

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

BUT..... Wait there a minute....
We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. We do not charge for our photographs. Our only "cost" is that we request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, VK.com, Vine, Meetup, Tagged, Ask.fm,etc or (2) other websites, blogs, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you must provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us or acknowledge us as the original photographers.
This also extends to the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a separate wall or blog post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other social media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.
I want to download these pictures to my computer or device?
You can download this photographic image here directly to your computer or device. This version is the low resolution web-quality image. How to download will vary slight from device to device and from browser to browser. Have a look for a down-arrow symbol or the link to 'View/Download' all sizes. When you click on either of these you will be presented with the option to download the image. Remember just doing a right-click and "save target as" will not work on Flickr.
I want get full resolution, print-quality, copies of these photographs?
If you just need these photographs for online usage then they can be used directly once you respect their Creative Commons license and provide a link back to our Flickr set if you use them. For offline usage and printing all of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available free, at no cost, at full image resolution.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember when requesting photographs from us - If you are using the photographs online all we ask is for you to provide a link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. You will find the link above clearly outlined in the description text which accompanies this photograph. Taking these photographs and preparing them for online posting takes a significant effort and time. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around your social media, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc. If you are using the photographs in newspapers or magazines we ask that you mention where the original photograph came from.
I would like to contribute something for your photograph(s)?
Many people offer payment for our photographs. As stated above we do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers or in other circumstances we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.
ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
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
Pretty minimal configuration-- assumed to be powered from the FTDI cable (5V), so only the 3.3V regulation and switch are there. The fuse is jumpered with a clipped lead.
I swapped out for a longer stem, and pushed the seat forward 1 cm. I'm more over the pedals now and not so far in front of the bars when standing.

In 2012 we received from NASA an order for 6 new models of International Space Station. NASA requested to modify our current model in order to represent the latest changes and additions to ISS so the model will depict the most current and updated configuration.
The foam lining in the transit cases for modified models was adjusted accordingly to accommodate the models and new separate elements.
Along with the order of 6 modified models for NASA we also produced one model in luxury edition for CERN, which was shipped to Geneva, Switzerland and receive excellent feedbacks for its accuracy and versatility.

The baseline configuration of the Oshkart SMTV (Scalable Medium Tactical Vehicle) family, the Mk601A is the standard two-door 6x6 cargo hauler configuration.
Features include opening doors and top hatch, a cab capable of seating 2 minifigs with body armor and headgear, foldable gunner’s seat, turning front wheels, center-pivoting rear axles, and spare tire with lift arm.
A special thanks needs to be given to Abdullah750Pakistan. This originally started as a project to clean up and make a buildable and more minifig-friendly version of his Ural 63708. As you can see though, it’s turned into a project to create a series of trucks in the same vein of the Oshkosh MTVR, Navistar 7000 MV, and Ural 63704-0010 families.
As with my other builds, all parts used in this are real production pieces.

The Sandhurst Military Skills Competition has run in various configurations since 1967. This year, it is a two-day event conducted at the United States Military Academy West Point, New York, April 10 and 11. At its core, Sandhurst is an inter-company competition for USMA. However, West Point teams now compete, not only amongst themselves, but against teams from their fellow United States Service Academies, 8 select University ROTC teams, the United States Military Academy Preparatory School team, and international teams from Britain's Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS), Canada's Royal Military College (RMC), and The Chilean Military School. Each USMA Cadet Company and visiting team selects a 9-member Squad (at least one member must be female) with two alternates. This squad is required to perform a series of challenging military tasks during a rapid, non-tactical move along a partly-prescribed route. (Photo by: William C. Bunce/ USMA DPTMS VI)
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.

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!

Biplane-configuration contra-rotating helicopter | | February 7, 2016 | Canon EOS 5D Mark III | ¹⁄₁₃ sec at f/5.6 2000
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
These pictures are completely unofficial photographs. We, or this Flickr account, are in no way professionally linked or related to the official photography from the Dublin Marathon 2015.
