Hawker-Siddeley Kestrel FGA.1
Hawker had been privately developing a vertical take off aircraft since the 1950s under the code of P.1127. The success of this private venture, and the subsequent service interest, led to an announcement in 1962 that a 'tripartite evaluation squadron' (TES) would be formed.
The Kestrel was a developed version of the P.1127 and nine of the type were ordered for use by the TES during its operations in 1965. The TES was based at RAF West Raynham and included pilots from the UK, USA and West Germany. Its role was to evaluate the vertical take off Kestrel in near service conditions.
As well as West Raynham the TES also used two nearby abandoned airfields as semi-prepared sites. Buckenham Tofts in the Stanford Training Area was used as an unprepared site and allowed the squadron to hide their aircraft in wooded areas.
The success of the Kestrel came little more than a year before its successor, the Harrier, made its first flight. Harriers would be in RAF service until 2011.

The 16mm cine film Developing Tank appears unused
or if used has been cleaned meticulously.
The ORIGINAL box shows some signs of wear.
The Developing Tank is from Leningrad, Russian / USSR. It has a certificate.
It dates 18 VIII 1964. (That's 18th of August 1964)
The rubber pipes are in really good condition and not porous or brittle at all.
Quite amazing for this age. The Tank itself is almost scratch free, shining
and just looks fantastic. I do not know how to use it. And I am only selling
as I have course fees to pay, so it is a reluctant sale of an object I adore.
If you are interested in the Developing Tank then please see the
collection of youtube videos I made showing it from all angles
www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL000C1C02C698EBC3
(at the moment I have 8 or so individual short clips of the developing tank,
arranged in a playlist, please check through them on you tube)
You should be able to see how good it looks. I can re-film any aspect of it
if you are interested, so please just get in touch, with questions and suggestions.
I am uploading the youtube videos at the moment, so they may take an hour or
so before they link up correctly.
I hope you will love this item as I did.

The OT-64 SKOT (Czech acronym for: Střednà Kolový Obrněný Transportér, and/or Polish Średni Kołowy Opancerzony Transporter – medium wheeled armoured transporter) is an amphibious armoured personnel carrier (8×8), developed jointly by the Polish People's Republic (PRL) and Czechoslovakia (ČSSR) well into the 1960's.
Until the early 1970's Czechoslovakia and the Polish People's Republic produced around 4,500 OT-64 SKOT's of all variants, just under a third of which were exported. In 2002, the modernization of the SKOT transporter began in Poland. The work resulted in the KTO Ryś prepared by Wojskowe Zakłady Mechaniczne No. 5 from Poznań.
The OT-64 was intended to replace the halftrack OT-810, which was nearly identical to the German Sd.Kfz. 251 from World War II. The first prototype was built in 1959. In 1961 the first sample series were built. From October 1963 the vehicles were produced in Lublin, Poland by Fabryka Samochodów Ciężarowych. The Polish plant acted as an assembly plant. Components of the propulsion system and power transmission, Tatra engine, Praga transmission and chassis, were imported from Czechoslovakia.
Armoured hulls and turrets (Huta in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski and Huta Częstochowa), elements of the suspension system (Huta Stalowa Wola) and on-board armaments (Zakłady Mechaniczne in Tarnów) were manufactured in Poland. Production ended in July 1971. Of the 4,500 OT-64's produced, 2,500 were obtained by the Polish army, and 2,000 by the Czechoslovak army. They were also acquired by the Hungarian army. Later, after introducing the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles into service, SKOT transporters were exported to other countries. Today, they are gradually being replaced by newer vehicles.
The OT-64's engine, transmission, suspension and axles were produced in Czechoslovakia. The engine was produced by Tatra. The gearbox was manufactured by Praga HostivaÅ™. It has a pre-select Praga-Wilson gearbox, 5 forward +1 reverse gears. A gear is selected using the gear stick. When the gear is required the left pedal, gear change action/clutch combined, is pressed to the floor, giving a hiss of air sound. On release of the pedal the dry plate clutch engages after about half the return spring controlled movement.
The drive then passes to an auxiliary gearbox with low, neutral and high ratios which needs to be selected before moving off, for road/neutral/off-road use. This gives option to the driver of 10 forward and 2 reverse ratios. The gear change pedal is hydraulic and on action opens an air valve which causes the selected gear to engage. The armoured hull and weapons were produced in Poland.
The OT-64 was the answer to the Soviet BTR-60. Contrary to this, the OT-64 used a diesel set in place of a petrol engine. That diminished the danger of fire and at the same time increased the range. The main advantage in relation to the Russian counterpart was the full-armoured interior. The entrance is at the rear of the vehicle via twin doors. The OT-64 has nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection facility and night-vision equipment. It has central inflation for all wheels which can be controlled by the driver. The OT-64 is air-transportable and amphibious, with two propellers installed at the back.
Several variants were built. Some OT-64 were re-equipped for air defense or built as tank hunters. The latter used the AT-3 Sagger missile as a weapon.
▪︎OT-64 SKOT entered service with Polish and Czechoslovak armies in 1963. It was produced until the early 1970's. It is still in service in Poland and Slovakia, among other operated by the Slovak police. Czech units were replaced in 2006 by new armoured vehicles Pandur II CZ. During the 1990's, Slovakia purchased hundreds of these units from the Czech Republic (150 in 1994, 100 in 1998). Slovaks then sold them to mainly African countries. The OT-64 SKOT was exported to eleven countries. The total number of vehicles produced was 4,500.

No artsy fartsy stuff this time. I'm not sure if anyone reads this, but I'd like to write this down anyway...
Friday I developed two rolls of film (in 120 size). I don't really have a darkroom. I use a film changing bag in the batroom to load the films in the tank. The loading of the films to the spiral was a struggle. It's quite hot now and I was sweatting quite a lot. The sweat made the inside of the changing bag very humid and the film started to stick to the plastic auto load reel. After developing a found that the loading was almost fine... But I had a few wrnkles on one of the films.
Today I took the item on the picture... A cheap tabletop fan... And set it behind me before loading the films. It kept other parts of my body cool and even if the changing bag got quite hot my hand were swetting a lot less. The loading was a lot easier!
Sometimes the solutions are quite simple!
Oh... The picture is digital... I used a manual focus 55mm f/1.8 lens for bokey background... May that be the artsyfartsy part today. :D

A very common phenomenon in Shanghai, while the building is still old and under construction, the old stores and the newly opened stores co-exist. This will probably be gone when the building is totally rebuilt.
Originally developed along the waterfront, Rainbow Row is a set of Georgian-style buildings that once housed businesses on the ground floors and residences above. Built between 1748 and 1792, the buildings are the longest remaining set of Georgian row houses in the United States, and were part of a vibrant commercial and residential district when built. By the 1920s, the area had fallen into steep decline, and the buildings were dilapidated, and home to low-end housing. Susan Pringle Frost, founder of the Society for the Preservation of Old Dwellings, which later became the Preservation Society of Charleston, bought six buildings that now comprise part of Rainbow Row, but, lacking the funds to restore them, the houses languished. In 1931, Dorothy Haskell Porcher Legge bought the house at 99-101 East Bay Street, and restored the structure, painting it bright pink, kicking off a trend of painting the buildings in colorful paint scheme. By 1945, most of the buildings had been restored and painted in bright colors, leading to the present name and appearance of Rainbow Row. Today, Rainbow Row is one of the most well-known places in Charleston, and a popular tourist attraction.

Originally developed by Hutchison Office Specialties and patented in 1919, this massive stapler always was made by Remington. In 1926 Remington took over sales and the marking on the stapler was changed to: Made and sold by Remington Typewriter Company. This model probably dates to 1928 or so. It is heavy and is 10 inches by 6¾ inches with its wood base, and stands about 4 inches high. It holds a large spool of wire that is said to make 15,000 staples. Made in U.S.A.
