A good friend and SCUBA diving buddy of mine asked me to repair this paperback. She had been instrumental in organising the BSAC diving expedition on the 75th anniversary of D-Day to honour and remember those who had lost their lives on the numerous wrecks of the Normandy beaches.
The inside of the front cover had been signed by the dive team so it was important that they were not lost in the repair.
The bottom left image shows the original book.
The bottom middle shows the pages that had become detached.
The top left shows the book block reglued with recessed sunken cords to provide additional strength. The original front and rear covers now included in the block. New end papers were fitted and the book block given new covers.
The top right image shows the book's title put onto the spine.
The bottom right image shows a laser printed scanned copy of the original front cover in a recess for protection.
D-Day, 04:00 hours
You and the rest of your men are dropping into enemy territory to capture key objectives in France, so the Allies can advance once they get off the beaches. You're tasked to take two bridges over the river Douves. You stand up, waiting for the green light to come on. It flashes, your sarge yells, "Go!" You're the last out, you're afraid of what's down there, you jump. It's pitch black dark. The only thing you see is flak and machine gun fire flying through the air. Your friends and comrades are already on the ground trying to stay alive. You finally touch the ground, you cut your chute and look up, one of your friends is next to a wall, his leg is shot and he's bleeding bad. You think you should help him, but if you do you could die too. There's woods behind you, you think you could maybe survive if you run into them.

André Malraux décide en 1969 d'y installer le musée national de la Renaissance, qui fut inauguré en 1977. Aujourd'hui il appartient donc à l'État, mais une partie du domaine (la forêt d'Écouen qui entoure le château) est encore la propriété de la Légion d'honneur. Le château d'Écouen présente la particularité de n'avoir subi pratiquement aucune modification architecturale d'ensemble au fil des siècles, en sorte qu'il constitue un témoignage exemplaire du style Renaissance

A recently revealed Ford D series tipper last operated by SE Davis of Astwood Bank- a fair while ago judging by the looks of the collapsed cab?
Out in the Utah desert, the 'new' intermediate signals look just as beat up as the old ones. The signals were placed but never installed due to the downturn in traffic on the old Rio Grande.

The Musée d'Orsay is a museum in Paris, France, on the left bank of the Seine. The museum holds mainly French art dating from 1848 to 1915, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography.
The museum building was originally a railway station, Gare d'Orsay, constructed for the Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans and finished in time for the 1900 Exposition Universelle to the design of three architects: Lucien Magne, Émile Bénard and Victor Laloux. It was the terminus for the railways of southwestern France until 1939.
By 1939 the station's short platforms had become unsuitable for the longer trains that had come to be used for mainline services. After 1939 it was used for suburban services and part of it became a mailing centre during World War II. It was then used as a set for several films, such as Kafka's The Trial adapted by Orson Welles, and as a haven for the Renaud–Barrault Theatre Company and for auctioneers, while the Hôtel Drouot was being rebuilt.
In 1970, permission was granted to demolish the station but Jacques Duhamel, Minister for Cultural Affairs, ruled against plans to build a new hotel in its stead. The station was put on the supplementary list of Historic Monuments and finally listed in 1978. The suggestion to turn the station into a museum came from the Directorate of the Museums of France. The idea was to build a museum that would bridge the gap between the Louvre and the National Museum of Modern Art at the Georges Pompidou Centre. The plan was accepted by Georges Pompidou and a study was commissioned in 1974.
In 1978, a competition was organized to design the new museum. ACT Architecture, a team of three young architects (Pierre Colboc, Renaud Bardon and Jean-Paul Philippon), were awarded the contract which involved creating 20,000 sq. m. of new floorspace on four floors. The construction work was carried out by Bouygues. In 1981, the Italian architect, Gae Aulenti was chosen to design the interior including the internal arrangement, decoration, furniture and fittings of the museum. Finally in July 1986, the museum was ready to receive its exhibits. It took 6 months to install the 2000 or so paintings, 600 sculptures and other works. The museum officially opened in December 1986 by then-president, François Mitterrand.
