This was a fun one - The idea was to build Narmoto with as many action features as I could reasonably fit on him. I'm particularly happy with the mechanism for retracting the shoulder launcher.

Fishing nets have been used widely in the past, including by stone age societies.
The oldest known fishing net is the net of Antrea, found with other fishing equipment in the Karelian town of Antrea.
The net was made from willow, and dates back to 8300 BC.
The remnants of another fishing net dates back to the late Mesolithic, and were found together with sinkers at the bottom of a former sea.
American Native Indians on the Columbia River wove seine nets from spruce root fibres or wild grass, again using stones as weights.
For floats they used sticks made of cedar which moved in a way which frightened the fish and helped keep them together.
With the help of large canoes, pre-European Maori deployed seine nets which could be over one thousand metres long.
The nets were woven from green flax, with stone weights and light wood or gourd floats, and could require hundreds of men to haul.
Fishing nets are well documented in antiquity.
They appear in Egyptian tomb paintings from 3000 BC. In ancient Greek literature, Ovid makes many references to fishing nets, including the use of cork floats and lead weights.
Pictorial evidence of Roman fishing comes from mosaics which show nets.
In a parody of fishing, a type of gladiator called retiarius was armed with a trident and a cast net.
In Norse mythology the sea giantess Rán uses a fishing net to trap lost sailors.
References to fishing nets can also be found in the New Testament.
Jesus Christ was reputedly a master in the use of fishing nets.
Fishing nets have not evolved greatly, and many contemporary fishing nets would be recognised for what they are in Neolithic times.
I would have that on my wall... LOL

In an attempt to find the best view I have found myself in a bit of a conundrum.
This photo was taken by a Asahi Pentax 6 X 7 medium format film camera and a Super-Multi-Coated Takumar/6X7 1:4.5/75mm lens with a Zenza Bronica 82mm L-1A filter using Kodak Portra 160 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.

Even multi-storey car parks started somewhere! This is the first true multi-storey car park on this scale in Britain. Surprisingly, it dates from before the Second World War.
Completed in 1939, the car park provided space for 750 cars on its four upper levels plus mezzanines and the roof — at the rate of 13.4 square metres per car. The ground floor level was specially designed to house Blackpool's bus station on it’s ground floor and did so for many years, it’s ceiling height could easily accommodate double decker buses.
The building was more or less immediately requisitioned by the Air Ministry at the outbreak of the War in 1939.
The building has a steel and concrete frame. Its entry/exit ramp has a slope of 1 in 7.5. For internal circulation, there are circualr spiral ramps. These have a slope of only 1 in 10, which makes this an easier car park to use than many of its recent descendants. The whole building was extended on its western side in later years by the addition of sloping floors, and, more recently, it has been reclad.
The designer of the car park, G.W. Stead was an employee of the Blackpool Corporation. During construction, the Borough Surveyor, James Drake (later knighted), had to obtain council approval for the additional cost of vibrating the concrete for the 460mm thick basement walls — a technique now considered standard practice.
No longer the bus station, the ground floor has been converted to commercial space.
Fully refurbished last year it won the "best refurbished car park award 2014", another building with it’s own story to tell that has found new life.
This was a fun one - The idea was to build Narmoto with as many action features as I could reasonably fit on him. I'm particularly happy with the mechanism for retracting the shoulder launcher.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback!

The summer season is one of the busiest time for any airline, from the major carriers to the leisure tour operators like Thomas Cook, who operates both a number of long-haul and short-haul flights... With the summer season being highly popular, Thomas Cook regularly lease airframes from spot-hire to provide additional capacity and demand.
Thomas Cook's long-haul fleet primarily consists of Airbus A330-200's operating mainly from Manchester, as well as from London Gatwick, London Stansted and Glasgow International. Out of the fleet of 8 Airbus A330-200's in service (as well as one on lease from Thomas Cook Scandinavia), 2 call for a little more explanation than most...
In February 2015, Thomas Cook announced an agreement with AirTanker to lease one Airbus A330-200MRTT (MRTT standing for Multi Role Tanker Transport) on a 3 year period.
The Airbus A330-200MRTT are aerial refuelling tankers used by the military, the aircraft based on the standard Airbus A330-200 passenger aircraft. The UK Royal Air Force have 10 in service based from RAF Brize Norton, the aircraft replaced the elderly Lockheed L-1011 TriStar and the Vickers VC10 tankers. The RAF refer to the Airbus A330-200MRTT as Voyager KC2's (featuring Cobham 905E underwing refuelling pods) and Voyager KC3's (featuring Cobham 805E fuselage refuelling units). One Airbus A330-200MRTT within the RAF is used specifically for transporting the Prime Minister and the Royal Family on oversea missions.
Because the Airbus A330-200MRTT is based on the standard passenger Airbus A330-200, they can be converted for civilian use. AirTanker allows the conversion of the Airbus A330-200MRTT fleet for civilian use with the removal of refuelling pods and other military equipment.
Currently, Thomas Cook are leasing 2 Airbus A330-200MRTT's from AirTanker, one since 2015 and one since the S17 schedule period. Low-cost carrier, Jet2 have also leased an example from AirTanker. Due to their military nature, Thomas Cook are restricted from flying the AirTanker Airbus A330-200MRTT's to Cuba. Thomas Cook's other Airbus A330-200's can fly to Cuba without restrictions.
Currently, Thomas Cook have 8 Airbus A330-200's, which includes 2 examples on lease from AirTanker. The fleet total excludes one example regularly leased from Thomas Cook Scandinavia.
Victor Yankee Golf Mike is one of 2 Airbus A330-200's in service with Thomas Cook on lease from AirTanker, delivered new to Airbus Military in February 2015 as EC-332. She was later delivered to AirTanker in February 2016 as a civilian Airbus A330-200 and gained her current registration, however she was not taken up by the Royal Air Force and should have been registered ZZ342. Thomas Cook gained the airframe on lease from AirTanker in April 2017. She is powered by 2 Rolls-Royce Trent 772B-60 engines.
Airbus A330-243 G-VYGM powers along Runway 23L at Manchester (MAN) on MT2680 to Boston-Logan (BOS), Massachusetts.
The diesel powered multi-engine "P160 DE-ME" or Baureihe 245 (class 245) was my latest build and therefore has also been revisited to incorperate all the tasty new features.
