U.S. and partner nation Soldiers exercise the evacuation of simulated casualties during the standardization part of this year's U.S. Army Europe Expert Field Medical Badge (EFMB) competition, at the Joint Multinational Training Command's Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany, Aug. 25, 2014. 300 candidates from U.S. forces in Europe including 40 multinational participants are competing in the five-day challenge. The test is a rigorous evaluation of mental and physical skills and earning the badge requires a high degree of ability and focus. Passing rates range from 5-25 percent, making the EFMB a distinctive mark in a Soldier's records. The EFMB also provides multinational and U.S. service members the opportunity to train together and to gain a greater understanding of their abilities while building more competent and confident Soldiers. As an interoperable team, we deter and prevent future aggression and instability. (U.S. Army photo by Visual Information Specialist Gertrud Zach/released)

Who organises it?
The Mobility Roadshow is organised by registered charity Mobility Choice.
How much does it cost to get in?
Admission, parking and showguide are free, as are all activities on site.
Is it just for people with disabilities?
Not at all - there are all kinds of devices that could help people of any age who may be experiencing mobility problems through something like arthritis or stiffening joints – swivel seats make getting in and out of a car much easier, while lightweight portable scooters that fit easily in the boot of a car can be a real help for shopping or leisure activities for the less mobile.
Who exhibits at the Roadshow?
Around 160 companies and organisations, including several of the major car companies, plus vehicle adaptation and conversion specialists, mobility aids manufacturers, scooter and wheelchair manufacturers, information and advice services, charities, mobility insurance specialists; sport, leisure and holiday companies; plus a range of equipment and services for an independent lifestyle.
What sort of products will I see?

Can I have a go on things?
Yes, this is the original ‘hands-on’ mobility event for consumers. There are opportunities to test drive adapted vehicles and specialist wheelchair-accessible conversions, scooters and wheelchairs and to try out products before you even think about buying, so you can compare all the available options. As well as test driving vehicles, you can try out wheelchairs and scooters on a dedicated Mobility Test Track, plus interactive Sports Arena, and our ever-popular accessible rock-climbing wall with experienced helpers to get you to the top!
You mean I actually get to test drive vehicles?
Yes – many of the major motor manufacturers and conversion specialists will have a range of adapted vehicles available to try out – make sure you bring your driving licence with you. For the first time in the Roadshow's 30-year history, test drives will take place on the public roads around the International Centre, accompanied by a professional driver at all times and dual controls fitted to each vehicle (full licence holders only). You can register to test drive in advance, either through the website or by post.
Is it just for Motability customers?
No. The Roadshow is for anyone who has a mobility problem, whether you have a vehicle through the Motability scheme or you own one privately.
Can I bring the kids?
Yes, it`s a fun day out for all the family. There’s a variety of entertainment such as jugglers, clowns, magicians, face painters or balloon sculptors – plenty to see and do for everyone.
What about sport?
The Roadshow’s interactive Sports Arena offers you a chance to really get involved in a range of sports such as basketball, rugby, sledge hockey, and find out about what’s available in your area.
Can I hire a wheelchair or scooter?
Yes. Wheelchairs and scooters can be pre-booked (subject to availability), and some will be available on the day.
Will I really get impartial advice?
Yes. The Roadshow is all about choice and opportunity. A large number of charitable organisations and information services will be offering impartial advice on a range of mobility issues.

Note: "During the period of June 10 to July 1 , 1965, a total of 65,945 acres were sprayed with DDT for control of early-instar larvae (Perkins and Dolph 1967). Application was by helicopter and at the rate of 0. 75 pound DDT in 1 gallon of fuel oil formulation per acre. Because of public concern at this time about side effects of DDT in the environment, impact of the spray on other resources, including fish, water, soil, forage, and cattle, was evaluated by scientists working independently of the project (Crouch and Perkins 1968, Tarrant et al. 1972). In addition, a small test was made of two other candidate insecticides, Dursban, an organic phosphate, and Zectran, a carbamate."

In the shadow of the water tower near Conisbrough and heading for Doncaster on the X78 route is Wright Streetdeck integral SN64 CSF - a pre-productrion example with mid-glazed staircase which has been used by Firstgroup for evaluation purposes along with one other prior to ordering Streetdecks in large numbers for several fleets across the UK. The X78 is one of the group's strategic test routes and is responsible for the company ordering Wrights new generation integral double deckers as opposed to competing products including from Volvo. As production examples have more januty styling, the classic-fronted examples such as this bus will remain uncommon.

Originally built for the USAF as a standard C-130B with serial 58-0712. Transferred to NASA at Moffett Field, CA from 1963 until 1967.
Converted in 1968 to a special test and evaluation version known as the NC-130B and operated from Johnson Space Center in Texas as N707NA.
The early seventies saw her become N929NA for earth survey work with NASA.
N707NA last saw service in 2001 after a year with the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Jefferson County in Colorado.
This lady continues in storage near to Davis-Monthan Air Base where she was converted back in 1968.
