Royal Navy 'Fleet Air Arm' BAe Sea Harrier FA/2 ZE695/124 leads the 'SHAR' line-up at the RNAS Yeovilton 'Air Day' held on the 13th July 1996.

 

Note the different greys used on the fleet back then. The original colour scheme adopted for the FRS.1 version was the standard FAA 'Sea Grey' with white undersides but with the advent of 'hostilities' during the 1982 Falklands War the Sea Harriers were hastily re-painted - some overall 'Barley' grey with the remainder being overall dark grey.

 

As the airframes were upgraded to FA/2 standard and the new build fleet came on line, various hues of grey followed until they were eventually retired from service.

The Arcturan Alliance has rolled out their newest medium carrier. The Hoyt-class carrier houses two squadrons of Angon fighters and is outfitted with four point-defense turrets and a single deck-mounted howitzer, providing it with a limited unescorted strike capability. It is pictured here escorted by a Culverin-class gunship and two flights of fighters.

I had intended to try to shoot video of the flybys with the D810, but I soon discovered that it was impossible to see what I was doing on the LCD in the bright sun.

 

I guess I should add a video camera to my wish list; or a mirrorless camera that would let me look through the view finder while shooting video.

 

The things you learn in hindsight....

Inspired by micro fleets such as this one by Chewk, and this one by Gladius, and spurred on by my recent enjoyment with Microspace, I decided to build a fleet of my own! I've had these built for over two weeks, but I've only just managed to upload them after struggling to get the fleet succesfully photographed. They are built to play against my friends (with fleets they will build no matter what they may think :P), and are based on this set of MicroSpaceWars rules by Spook. Enjoy, and take a look at the individual photos for info on each ship.

From Wikipedia: the 'blue hour' comes from the French expression l'heure bleue, which refers to the period of twilight each morning and evening where there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. The time is considered special because of the quality of the light at this time of day.

Used my new Fisheye Lens for the first time today! This is one of the fishing points at Fleet Pond on a crisp frosty day.

Caught the sun in the Fleet. Edited in order to gain drama.

This little scene seemed to have a very painterly feel with the autumn colours reflecting on the water. I later reprimanded that errant goose at the back for turning the other way.

The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen

 

The fenland parish of Fleet sits in the south Lincolnshire fens just off the busy A17 trunk road and about 8 miles east of the market town of Spalding. At nearly 12 miles long but only 2 miles at it's widest, the settlement filtered northwards as land was reclaimed from this former tidal inlet. Once surpassing Spalding in population and wealth, Fleet was the focus of Templar activities in medieval times with a yearly fair and vigorous market for centuries.

 

The Grade I listed Anglican church, dating from the late 12th century, is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene. The 120 feet church tower with spire is like many medieval fenland churches and is detached from the nave by 15 feet. The exterior is mainly Decorated in style, with Early English arcades and a Perpendicular west window. According to Cox (1916), the church was restored in 1860, when the chancel was rebuilt, although the canopied sedilia was retained.

  

A small fleet of 50 Australian destroyers and 10 pt boats has been set and ready for launch to capture the Midway Islands. The fleet will launch in the next hour due to the capture of the Dutch East Indies.

Here is my current fleet of *completed* GWR locos.

Left to right.

GWR king class

GWR City class

GWR Dean Goods class

GWR 2600 class (rebuild soon)

GWR 5101 class

GWR 9400 class

 

For those of you who have seen my work from the beginning, you may be wondering about my GWR 5700 and 1400 classes. Long story short, they are old models, made in LDD only, so lack of parts was a thing with those builds. Thinking of going ahead and trying to reverse engineer tracepierce2592 locos, but that will be a while off. For now, my main focus is finishing off the rest of my large steam engines on the list. Containing GWR, LMS, LNER, SR and BR standards.

The last time these two were together publicly was at M&D East Kent 60th Celebrations in 2012. (A few pictures are on Flickr) Later on that year the Dominator would be withdrawn and sold to myself. A year later 5916 found its way into my collection. A long term ambition personally.

 

Today we see the reunion of the former fleet mates once more together... Now in preservation.

An array of single deckers has arrived at Warrington's Own Buses in the last 2 days. Seen at the depot on 23 January 2020 are Metroline Enviro 200s 1803 (YX10 BFL) and 1783 (YX10 BCU), Ensignbus Enviro 708 (SN11 FFL) and Howard's F19 HOW. Also present were Ensignbus SN11 FFJ and panther Travel Enviro YX09 AEV.

Fleet Week 2015 San Francisco Navy ship tours

There was a fleet flyby during the NAS Oceana Airshow 2017. It was so awesome to see that many jets in the sky that day.

I started this fleet with the goal of keeping each ship small. I was getting a bit of size creep on some of the microspace ships I built last year. I started with the cruiser and went down in size from there. More views in my microspace album.

 

Orion-class Cruiser

Hecate-class Destroyer

Talos-class Missile Frigate

Triton-class Support Frigate

Demeter-class Light Frigate
