ODC-Drag & Drop
Garth you really had me stumped on this one. I was really wracking my brain to come up with something appropriate. But, I am always up for a challenge! I layered several photos together in the hopes that it would match the theme. As you can see, I used pop in this one. He's dragging himself across the desert sand. As he approaches the oasis his body becomes less transparent as he realizes there is water ahead (or maybe its a mirage???) and he finally drops himself into the little pool of water. I think I've been living in the desert too long...:))
Thanks for any/all comments you wish to leave me, I do appreciate them all.
Have A Terrific Thursday.
Jo..whew!
Vela draga o Draga di Vragna è un'ampia vallata alle falde nordoccidentali del Monte Maggiore, ben nota agli appassionati di montagna e agli amici della natura, ma ancor lontana e sconosciuta a molti.
Ai suoi limiti orientali si tuffa a capofitto sotto il viadotto adiacente all'entrata della galleria del Monte Maggiore, per poi scendere con una serpentina verso la Piana di Bogliuno. La Draga è dominata da enormi rocce, tra le quali spiccano due alte torri chiamate šoplja e čoplja, che fanno parte di un fenomeno carsico irripetibile, unico in Istria.
This was my first trip back to this location after a couple of years, and I was really pleased to see that the vegetation was clear enough for the shot to still be viable. Here ROG Class 37 drags GWR Class 387 EMU 387159 back to Reading depot from Ilford.
Locomotive: Rail Operations Group Class 37/7 37800 "Cassiopeia".
Location: Ruscombe Junction, near Twyford, Berkshire.
ODC - Drag and drop
Whoops - I didn't notice at the time that poor Maud's boobs were caught up - but I guess that could happen if you were dragging a reluctant dog.

C-47A (c/n 19345) Drag 'em Oot
This Douglas C-47 with c/n 19345, was delivered to the United States Army Air Force on December 28, 1943 with serial 42-100882. She joined operations with 87th Troop Carrier Squadron, based at Greenham Common. Being equipped as glider pick up, her crew named her "Drag 'em Oot" (slang for Drag them out).
She participated in the air assault during D-Day when at 00:46 on June 6, 1944 she dropped 18 paratroopers of the US 82nd Airborne Division, just behind the Normandy beach heads, near St. Mere Église. She returned safe to the UK and after a second mission the same day, she started to resupply the troops in France until she was transferred to the Royal Air Force as Dakota C3 with serial TS422 in September1944
Once in the UK she became N473DC and repainted in the colours she now flies in. The original markings as worn during her missions on D-Day 1944 with USAAF serial 42-100882 and coded 3X-P nicknamed "Drag 'em Oot" then piloted by the now 84 year old Bill Allin.

"Le C-47 « Drag-’em-oot » 42-100882, qui, lui, est anglais. C’est un véritable ancien participant au débarquement, il a largué des parachutistes du 2e Bataillon du 502ème Régiment d’infanterie de la 101ème Airborne le jour J il se trouvait être l’aéronef n ° 2 du 7 « stick ». Les 6 premiers étant ceux des « Pathfinder », envoyés plus tôt dans la nuit pour guider les avions suivants et leurs largages. Il les lâche au dessus de Carentan, et repart pour aller chercher des planeurs pour l’opération Elmira : il fait partie des 14 Waco ou CG-4A Hadrian (chez les anglais) plus les 36 Airspeed Horsa qui vont débouler sur Sainte-Mère l’Eglise. Il n’a pas fait que cette mission : dès le 2 septembre 1944, il est devenu anglais, inscrit dans la RAF à la base de Greenham Common et a participé sous l’indicatif Dakota III (N° TS422) aux deux grandes opérations parachutage, Market Garden et Varsity (la plus grande opération aéroportée de la Seconde Guerre mondiale ayant pour objectif de prendre pied sur le Rhin). Pendant ces opérations on lui a largement tiré dessus, et il en a gardé les stigmates, son fuselage portant des pièces de métal à la place des trous d’éclats de DCA. Il partait alors de Down Ampney faisant partie du 435 (RCAF) Squadron en août 1945. En devenant anglais il a hérité d’un tâche particulière, celle de ramener un par un les planeurs posés dans la campagne normande en Angleterre, les alliés craignant trop de les voir attaquer par la Lutwaffe dont ils ignoraient l’état avant de déliquescence, faute de carburant.
Pour cela, on va l’équiper d’une longue crosse arrière et d’un treuil à bord pour qu’il puisse prendre à la volée, sans avoir à se poser, les planeurs Waco, via un câble tendu horizontalement entre deux poteaux, faisant gagner du temps lors de l’opération. "

These recent photos have been from very early in the year and now Autumn has arrived. I've just been really slow in uploading these.
My second day was enjoyable, and here I am having swapped dresses again, swanning around at Legs on a Thursday night.
There were two genuine girls in the bar, doing a survey about trans people. I chatted with them for quite a while about all sorts of different things - they were very interesting young women. One of them took this last photo of me before I disappeared into the world of boring trousers.
