The final withdrawal of British forces from the Sangin area of Afghanistan’s Helmand province has taken place
Soldiers from 13 Close Support Logistic Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps, were the last Brits on the ground, as they mounted one last combat logistic patrol to bring remaining equipment back from Forward Operating Base NOLAY.
The withdrawal follows the military decision to concentrate UK efforts in central Helmand and transfer responsibility for operations in Sangin to the United States Marine Corps, which is now building on the significant progress and development already achieved.
Codenamed Operation LOAM 35, the patrol was carried out in conjunction with the Afghan National Army. Combat logistic patrols are always amongst the most complex ground manoeuvres conducted, and this was no exception. The six-day operation involved 76 British vehicles and 22 Afghan vehicles, with 222 soldiers in total. The patrol covered a distance of 2.2 miles, reaching speeds of no more than 5mph due to the terrain of the desert.

If you would like to talk to me about these aerial images, then please contact me on my main flickr account here
These photos were taken by the R.A.F in 1951. The only clue to the date being the Festival of Britain celebrations taking part on Woodhouse Moor at the time.
The R.A.F were given the task of photographing every inch of the United Kingdom. A bit like a forerunner to our modern day google earth if you like. It was to establish the countries logistical capabilities like coastal defences, rail yards, and production as Britain began to take stock after W.W.2, and prepared for 40 years of cold war. The aerial photos were taken from a nose camera mounted in a Canberra plane. The plane flew in straight lines back and forth. It looks to have taken a photograph every second. The photos were taken on dedicated aerial reconnaissance cameras and film capable of being exploited at great magnification. Perfect quality for spotting your enemies entrenched troops and tanks, you can almost see Monty scrutinising similar photos of Normandy to see where his old adversary Rommel had his fortifications along the Atlantic wall. All the photos below are in flight order as the plane took them.
*This huge collection of photos were going to be destroyed. The RAF was pretty much going to incinerate all archives that were over 50 years old. Fortunately someone working at the archives realised their importance and kept the tins of film for the Leeds and Bradford areas*
As far as the RAF were concerned, these images never existed - but they were declassified in any case. This is the first time these photographs have been seen in public for 62 years.

Work is well underway on Sky Waka, the new high-speed gondola at Whakapapa on New Zealand’s North Island, with the team facing ever-changing logistical challenges with engineering specifications, getting materials on-site, and the physical construction process.
Lack of access over unique volcanic terrain adds to the complexity of this project. Even transporting concrete from the truck to the construction site has required some out of the box thinking.
“Conventional concrete trucks drive part way up the mountain and are then replaced with a trailer concrete mixing bowl with a 3.5 cubic metre capacity” says Whakapapa General Manager, Jono Dean.
“The concrete is then transferred onto a purpose built aerial material ropeway system that then transfers the loads to the locations required in the mid mountain. To date, 400 of the 1100 tonnes required for this project has been transported.”
The Swiss engineered ropeway can transport up to 5 tonnes of equipment and materials without relying on helicopter use, which can be restricted due to weather conditions. At over 1000m in length with towers up to 34m tall, it is the first of its kind in NZ to be constructed for the purpose of building a passenger ropeway on a ski field.
“We’ve had amazing luck with weather this summer, which has got the project off to a great start but being up a mountain conditions could change rapidly and affect the project timeline.”
The construction of the 14 tower foundations to support the new Sky Waka gondola line are nearly complete and work is underway on the terminal stations where people will get on and off the gondola.
Italian based company Leitner is supplying and installing the gondola, and General Manager David Ratcliffe says he’s excited to be involved in New Zealand’s largest gondola installation. “This project has presented unique challenges but work is progressing well and it’s exciting to be a part of such an iconic project.”
The fifty Sky Waka gondola cabins will feature floor to ceiling glass for breathtaking views, internal ski racks, audio and lighting and individual leather seats offering business-class luxury to passengers befitting of the UNESCO Dual World Heritage status of Whakapapa Ski Area. Each cabin accommodates 10 passengers and even the tallest skiers will be able to stand upright in the cabin with more than 2m of internal clearance.
The Sky Waka will run from the Top of the Bruce base area directly to the award-winning Knoll Ridge Café. It will transport 2,400 people per hour over the 1.8km in approximately 5 minutes.
Social and economic indicators for the gondola project are compelling, with a team of about 35 hands on people working on the project and another estimated 100 people contributing to the project behind the scenes, including a strong contingent of local employment from the area.
The gondola project has involved working closely with Ngati Tuwharetoa and DOC which has seen a significant reduction in the number of structures on the mountain, the new installation having less than half of the structures it replaces.
As a public benefit entity RAL invests its proceeds back into developing the mountain’s facilities and the new gondola forms part of the $100m reinvestment strategy announced by the RAL board in 2015.
Les travaux vont bon train sur Sky Waka, la nouvelle télécabine à haute vitesse de Whakapapa, sur l’île du Nord de la Nouvelle-Zélande. L’équipe est confrontée à des défis logistiques en constante évolution: spécifications techniques, mise en place des matériaux et processus de construction.
Le manque d'accès sur un terrain volcanique unique ajoute à la complexité de ce projet. Même le transport du béton du camion sur le chantier a nécessité une réflexion originale.
«Les camions en béton conventionnels roulent en partie sur la montagne et sont ensuite remplacés par un bol à béton d'une remorque d'une capacité de 3,5 mètres cubes», a déclaré Jono Dean, directeur général de Whakapapa.
«Le béton est ensuite transféré sur un système de remontée mécanique sur matériaux aériens spécialement conçu à cet effet, qui transfère ensuite les charges aux emplacements requis en moyenne montagne. À ce jour, 400 des 1 100 tonnes requises pour ce projet ont été transportées. ”
Les remontées mécaniques suisses peuvent transporter jusqu'à 5 tonnes d'équipements et de matériaux sans recourir à l'utilisation d'hélicoptères, ce qui peut être limité en raison des conditions météorologiques. Avec plus de 1000 m de long et des tours atteignant 34 m de haut, il s'agit du premier du genre en Nouvelle-Zélande à être construit dans le but de construire un téléphérique pour passagers sur un domaine skiable.
"Nous avons eu une chance incroyable avec la météo de cet été, ce qui a donné un bon départ au projet, mais être dans les conditions montagneuses pourrait changer rapidement et avoir une incidence sur le calendrier du projet."
La construction des 14 fondations de la tour pour soutenir la nouvelle gondole Sky Waka est presque terminée et des travaux sont en cours sur les gares terminales où les gens pourront monter et descendre de la télécabine.
Leitner, société italienne, fournit et installe la gondole. Le directeur général, David Ratcliffe, se dit ravi de participer à la plus grande installation de gondoles de Nouvelle-Zélande. "Ce projet a présenté des défis uniques, mais le travail avance bien et c’est excitant de faire partie d’un projet aussi emblématique."
Les cinquante cabines de la télécabine Sky Waka comprendront des baies vitrées offrant une vue époustouflante, des porte-skis internes, un système audio et d'éclairage ainsi que des sièges individuels en cuir offrant un luxe de classe affaires aux passagers, digne du statut de domaine de ski de Whakapapa classé au double patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Chaque cabine peut accueillir 10 passagers et même les plus grands skieurs pourront se tenir debout dans la cabine avec plus de 2 m de dégagement interne.
Le Sky Waka ira de la base de Top of the Bruce au Knoll Ridge Café, un établissement primé. Il transportera 2 400 personnes par heure sur 1,8 km en 5 minutes environ.
Les indicateurs sociaux et économiques du projet de gondole sont convaincants, avec une équipe d'environ 35 personnes travaillant sur le projet et environ 100 personnes contribuant au projet en coulisse, y compris un fort contingent d'emplois locaux de la région.
Le projet de télécabine a impliqué une collaboration étroite avec Ngati Tuwharetoa et DOC, qui a enregistré une réduction significative du nombre de structures en montagne, la nouvelle installation remplaçant moins de la moitié des structures.
En tant qu’entité d’intérêt public, RAL réinvestit ses recettes dans le développement des installations de la montagne. La nouvelle télécabine fait partie de la stratégie de réinvestissement de 100 millions de dollars annoncée par le conseil d’administration de RAL en 2015.
