Halifax, Nova Scotia
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II talks with a sailor of Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship St John’s escorted by Vice-Admiral Dean McFadden, Chief of Maritime Staff, onboard ship in Halifax Harbour, Nova Scotia, on 29 June 2010 during the International Fleet Review (IFR).
The IFR brings more than 17 foreign warships and 5,000 visiting sailors together with Canada’s Atlantic fleet in a major naval assembly doused in tradition. The last time Canada held International Fleet Reviews was in 1985 on the Atlantic and Pacific coast to highlight the 75th Anniversary of Canada’s naval service.
The IFR is part of Canadian Naval Centennial Celebrations organized to mark this significant moment in Canada’s naval history within the context of the centennial theme of, “Bring the Navy to Canadians. Events are aimed at honouring the past, showcasing the current navy and reinforcing the requirement for the future navy.

Coastwise harbour of the Black Sea Shipyard (Ukrainian: Чорноморський суднобудівельний завод; Russian: Черноморский судостроительный завод).
The Black Sea Shipyard is located in Mykolaiv, Ukraine and is the largest shipyard on the Black Sea. It is most often referred to as the Nikolayev South Shipyard and was known as Soviet Shipyard No. 444.
The shipyard constructed the Moskva-class helicopter ships, Kiev-class VSTOL aircraft carriers, naval auxiliaries, commercial ships, and submarines. They also began construction on the legendary Stalingrad battlecruiser but was canceled after Stalin's death in 1953.
Today, the shipyard is a major enterprise consisting of shipbuilding, machine-building, and metallurgy. The shipyard has its own design center with a qualified engineering staff and modern computer equipment. Their integrated shipbuilding system (FORAN) includes computer-aided design (CAD), engineering (CAE), and manufacturing (CAM) of vessels.

After the visit to the Fleet Air Arm Museum, in the afternoon, we next went to Lytes Cary. The manor and gardens are run by the National Trust.
Lytes Cary is a manor house with associated chapel and gardens near Charlton Mackrell and Somerton in Somerset, England. The property, owned by the National Trust, has parts dating to the 14th century, with other sections dating to the 15th, 16th, 18th, and 20th centuries. "Yet all parts blend to perfection with one another and with the gentle sunny landscape that surrounds them," comments Nikolaus Pevsner. The House is listed as Grade I by English Heritage.
The chapel predates the existing house, having been built around 1343, and functioned as a chantry chapel, where masses could be said for the souls of the family, both living and dead. The great hall was added in the 15th century and the Oriel Room in the 16th. Various renovations were undertaken during the 16th and 17th centuries after which the house fell into disrepair with the north range being demolished by the early 19th century. In 1907 Sir Walter Jenner of the Jenner baronets bought the house and restored it in a period style, furnishing it with fine 17th century and 18th century oak furniture, antique tapestries and fabrics modelled after medieval textiles, along with historic and period paintings. On his death in 1948 he left the house to the National Trust.
The gardens are listed as Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England. The original 17th-century gardens have disappeared. However, the Jenners laid them out in an Arts and Crafts style with a series of 'rooms', which are separated from each other by high, neatly clipped box and yew hedges. These are complemented by ponds and walks in and between each of the 'rooms'.

– HAWKER SIDDELEY HARRIER T.4N XW268 –
Originally built as a Harrier T2 by Hawker Siddeley, XW268 had its first flight on the 5th November 1970, and delivered to Harrier Conversion Unit (Later, 233 Operational Conversion Unit), at RAF Wittering in January 1971.
In May 1977 it was modified to T.4 standard and delivered back to RAF Wittering to No. 1 Squadron. July 1979 saw the aircraft upgrade to a T.4a standard with the Pegasus 103 engine, and saw it returned back to 233 OCU at RAF Wittering.
In 1990, XW268 was modified to a T.4n standard and transferred to Fleet Air Arm and taken on strength by 899 Naval Air Squadron (NAS), RNAS Yeovilton. The aircraft now had overall dark sea grey colour scheme, 899 NAS makings, and sported the codes 720/VL.
On the 27th June 1994, XW268's service life ended abruptly when it was involved in a misjudged and heavy landing at RNAS Yeovilton, causing unrepairable damage.
Following an in-service spares recovery task in 1995, what was left of XW268 was disposed of to a private company, until the derelict airframe was discovered by its current owner. Following talks, arrangements were made to acquire the aircraft, and XW268 was lifted out of an undergrowth and grassy habitat and transported and transported to the City of Norwich Aviation Museum in May.
XW268 is a work in progress, and significant restoration work has already been carried out by the owner, who is on the lookout for spare parts. Follow the history and restoration in more detail at www.xw268.net or search Facebook for XW268.
