First flown in Jan-62, this aircraft was delivered to the UK Royal Air Force (114 Squadron) as XN856 in Mar-62. It was transferred to the A&AAE (Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment) at Boscombe Down, UK in Nov-62 and returned to the RAF (114 Squadron) in Feb-63.
It was withdrawn from use and permanently retired at RAF Kemble, UK in Oct-71. The aircraft was sold to Field Aircraft Services in Aug-75 and had been broken up at Kemble by the end of the year. A 9 year working life isn't much of a life at all! Updated 05-Sep-23.
Inscribed beneath this statue: "We must not use Force till just laws are defied."
It's interesting to see James Brown Lord's cross-references to both Judeo-Christian morals and Greco-Roman principles of law and just society. The mix, reflecting choices in adopted heritages, appears to be uniquely American. The courthouse is one of the most embellished buildings in New York City.

Making use of the gifts that Will kindly sent me. Can you spot the chrome monopod? I thought it was a nice application! Let me know what you think! Comments with faves are highly appreciated.
Not meant to be entirely accurate btw :3
Enjoy!

"Force" is local dialect for "falls", rather than referring to the power of the river! These are the lower of two sets of falls on the upper river Tees.
Really good waterfall in Cotterdale, just wish I'd remembered my tripod! Managed to squeeze 0.3 sec exposure out with camera resting on a coat on a tree trunk!
The first shot from my trip to the Yorkshire Dales.
A waterfall on the Hardraw Beck in Hardraw Scar, a wooded ravine just outside the hamlet of Hardraw at the foot of Buttertubs Pass and the head of Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales. The Pennine Way long distance footpath passes close by.
Comprising a single drop of 100 feet from a rocky overhang, Hardraw Force is claimed to be England's highest unbroken waterfall – at least discounting underground falls. (The underground waterfall inside nearby Gaping Gill on the western flank of Ingleborough has an unbroken fall of over 300 feet.)

Sally B is the name of an airworthy 1945-built Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, the only one remaining airworthy in Europe. Based at the Imperial War Museum Duxford, England, Sally B flies at airshows in the UK and across Europe as well as serving as an airborne memorial to the United States Army Air Forces airmen who lost their lives in the European theatre during World War II. The aircraft was delivered to the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) on 19 June 1945 as 44-85784, too late to see active service in the war. After being converted to both a TB-17G training variant and then an EB-17G it was struck off charge in 1954. In 1954 the Institut Géographique National in France bought the plane for use as a survey aircraft. In 1975 it moved to England and was registered with the CAA as G-BEDF to be restored to wartime condition. The Sally B was first fitted with accurate gun turrets and other much needed additions for her role as Ginger Rogers, a B-17 bomber of the fictitious bomber unit featured in the 1981 LWT series We'll Meet Again. During the winter of 1983–84, Sally B was painted in an olive drab and neutral grey colour scheme, in place of the bare metal scheme she had worn since construction, in order to protect the airframe from the damp UK weather. At the same time, she received the markings of the 447th Bomb Group. The Sally B was used in the 1990 film Memphis Belle as one of 5 flying B-17s needed for various film scenes, and it was used to replicate the real Memphis Belle in one scene. Half of the aircraft is still in the Memphis Belle livery, following restoration of the Sally B nose art and the black and yellow checkerboard pattern on the cowling of the starboard inner (no 3) engine, carried as a tribute to Elly Sallingboe's companion Ted White, whose Harvard aircraft had the same pattern on its cowling. Sally B was reworked to B-17F configuration for filming. Since 1985, Sally B has been operated by Elly Sallingboe's 'B-17 Preservation Ltd and maintained by Chief Engineer Peter Brown and a team of volunteers. The aircraft is flown by volunteer experienced professional pilots. The B17 Charitable Trust exists to raise funds to keep the plane flying. In 2008, Elly Sallingboe was awarded the Transport Trust 'Lifetime Achievement Award' in recognition of over thirty years of dedication to the preservation and operation of Britain's only airworthy Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress as a flying memorial to the tens of thousands of American aircrew who lost their lives in her sister aircraft during the Second World War. One of the key events in the flying calendar for Sally B is an annual tribute flypast following the Memorial Day service at the American Military Cemetery at Madingley, Cambridge. This takes place over the May Bank Holiday weekend. Flypasts over former Eighth Air Force bases are also carried out whenever possible during the summer months.

High Master Aren Gyyll's Jedi Task Force has been assigned to the planet of Kafrene, and trying to protect it's neutrality, or win them over to the Republic.
L-R
Jedi Padawan Lohirr Sartori
Master Gyyll’s latest Padawan, Lohirr Sartori is adept with the force. Not even an adult yet, Sartori’s training has been rushed due to the outbreak of the Clone Wars. His dream is to replace Jocasta Nu as the Jedi Temple librarian once she could no longer serve. Joining his Master’s Task Force, he can’t wait to see what comes next in his trials to become a Jedi Knight.
Jedi Knight Mara Sol
Former Padawan to Shaak Ti, Mara Sol studied the history of the Jedi and the Galaxy, eventually earning the rank of Knight. Preferring negotiation and diplomacy to conflict and violence, Sol opted for the defensive Soresu form of lightsaber combat. She volunteered to join High Master Gyyll’s Task Force, hoping to unearth some historical discoveries on their mission.
Jedi High Master Aren Gyyll
Jedi High Master Aren Gyyll is an exemplary Jedi. He always maintains a calm head, and follows the Jedi Code to the letter. Even when he lost his sight as a younger Jedi Knight, he never strayed from his teachings, or was swayed by the Dark Side, even for a second. After he reached the rank of Master, he was contacted by a desperate mother from a backwater Rim planet, begging him to take her daughter and train her in the ways of the Jedi. He did so, and instilled his beliefs into her, raising her to become an extraordinary Jedi. Though he is no longer in the prime of his life, Gyyll remains one of the strongest and highest ranking Jedi in the entire Order.
Jedi Knight Kassk Kar'so
Padawan to Coleman Trebor, Kassk Kar’so was a skilled duelist and fierce warrior. Following his master’s death during the Battle of Geonosis, Kar’so was quickly elevated to the rank of Knight to help replaces the losses from the start of the Clone Wars. Kassk volunteered for High Master Gyyll’s Task Force, hoping to get to test his martial prowess against an actual warrior, and not a battle droid.
Jedi Master Master Xira Ven
Hailing from a world where the Force was considered an abomination, Xira was exiled from her family and her home once signs of her force-sensitivity began to show. In an act of mercy, her mother contacted the Jedi Order, handing her over to a young Jedi Master, who took her as his Padawan. Her strength in the Force grew as she aged, and she was quoted to have “personified the Jedi way”. Her skill lead her to be knighted before the age of twenty, and later granted the rank of Master at the age of twenty-five. Almost ten years after becoming a Jedi Master, Ven has yet to take a padawan.
