As the Postie disappears up the garden path I have chance to capture the scene... and then run off with the trolley. But it was more heavy and more cumbersome than I imagined so I ran it into a ditch and set fire to it.
You'll never take me alive Copper!
But then reality kicks in... oh, alright its a fair cop Guv.
HK Airport Runway Approach Lighting
An approach lighting system, or ALS, is a lighting system installed on the approach end of an airport runway and consisting of a series of lightbars, strobe lights, or a combination of the two that extends outward from the runway end. ALS usually serves a runway that has an instrument approach procedure (IAP) associated with it and allows the pilot to visually identify the runway environment and align the aircraft with the runway upon arriving at a prescribed point on an approach.

This spot by the B5291 was really interesting, not only for the view straight up the lake, but alslo because of all the bits of broken pot, bottles, and china that was everywhere. They must have all come from the Hotel up the road as quite a lot of them have it's name or image on. What we spent ages trying to decide was wether they'd just been dumped over the hedge on the surface in the last 30 years, or if they'd been burried earlier and the recent flooding had eroded the bank and exposed them.

They worked really hard in the field throughout the day, having failed to capitalise on winning the toss on and batting first o an excellent wicket.

Tower 1784, nave mostly late C19, chancel C14 said to be 1328. The church was
rebuilt except the chancel in 1784 by William Marshall, and the nave almost
completely remodelled from Georgian back to Decorated by Sir T G Jackson, while
retaining the tower and chancel. North aisle 1875, south porch 1890, nave 1891.
Coursed rubble with Cotswold stone roof. Five bay nave with round piers and
pointed arches and a king-post roof. The chancel has features of the C14 with a
roof of 1890, painted by F Howard in 1928. Good late C19 and early C20 church
fittings. Pulpit of 1888. Three stage tower of ashlar, rusticated on ground stage
and with giant Ionic pilaster quoins above. Balustrade, vase finials, lead covered
dome. Lozenge shaped clock on south face dated 1785. Large round clock above.
It is an interesting church of 3 periods, the C18 tower being particularly fine,
and stands in important relationship to the village and the vale as a whole.

Show off. Not a great picture, but I thought it was hilarious. This fellow patiently waited for this group to get close and then he rose up and quickly spread his wings before taking off in a great splash of water. Going the whole width of the inlet in a frantic display as he skimmed across the surface, and churned up a lot of water, but never quite managing to get enough lift for take off. In fact he was hardly flapping his wings. I don't think he's caught on to the importance of that yet. Still too young. What a show off.
I got worried though. By the time he reached the other end of the inlet he was noticeably running out of steam and even dipped under the surface a few times. I thought he might have pushed himself too far. But he made it. He was kind of wobbly when he managed to stumble on shore.
As for the other ducks. They hardly gave him a glance and kept on with their stroll. Not impressed. Poor guy.
Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum
For more than twenty years the B43 was the United States' air-dropped nuclear weapon used by a wide variety of aircraft. The weapon was developed in 1956 by Los Alamos National Laboratory, entering service in April 1961. Total production was 2,000 weapons, ending in 1965.
The B43 was built in three variants: Mod 0, Mod 1, and Mod 2, each with five yield options. Explosive yields varied from 70 kilotons of TNT to 1 megaton of TNT. The B-43 could be delivered at altitudes as low as 300 ft, with fusing options for air burst, ground burst, free fall, contact, or laydown delivery - a mode of deploying a free-fall nuclear weapon in which the bomb's fall is slowed by parachute so that it actually lands on the ground before detonating.
Aircraft that could carry the weapon included most USAF, USN and USMC fighters, bombers and attack aircraft, including the A-3 Skywarrior, A-4 Skyhawk, A-5 Vigilante, A-6 Intruder, A-7 Corsair II, B-47 Stratojet, B-52 Stratofortress, F-100 Super Saber, F-105 Thunderchief, F-4 Phantom Il, F-111 Aardvark, FB-111A, F-15E Strike Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon, and the F/A-18 Hornet. The B-1B Lancer was also intended to carry the B43 prior to the B-1's reassignment to conventional strike roles. The B43 was also supplied to Great Britain.
The B43 was never used in anger, but it was involved in a nuclear accident when an A-4 Skyhawk of the USS Ticonderoga from Attack Squadron VA-56 was lost off the coast of Japan on 5 December 1965. The aircraft, the pilot, and the bomb were never found.
The B43 was phased out in the 1980s, and the last B43 weapons were retired in 1991 in favor of the newer B61 and B83 weapons.
The upper weapon was used by Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams to practice their skills on, while the lower weapon was used by aircraft ground crews to practice loading the weapon on various aircraft. The "spike" on the end of the weapon buried itself in the ground and kept the unit from being dragged by its parachute when the target was small and needed precision accuracy.

Sometimes it's hard to keep a balance in life. Sometimes you might feel like this monkey, hanging from the rafters of a really tall ceiling. Don't worry though, struggles have a tendency of sorting themselves out. We all struggle with something, one way or another. Just work on grip strength, and hang in there.
