No. 161 (Special Duties) Squadron was a highly secretive unit of the Royal Air Force. It was tasked with missions of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) during the Second World War. Their primary role was to drop and collect secret agents and equipment into and from Nazi-occupied Europe.

We stumbled by chance on a coast guard rescue operation while visiting Las Teresitas.
Helicopter and boats were searching around a specific spot on the coast.
We checked later and found out that tragically two young swimmers got trapped in a small cave and drowned before help arrived.

Operation Barbarossa started on June 22nd, 1941, with the Germans rapidly invading the Soviet Union and decimating Soviet forces in virtually every battle. Hitler's plan was to conquer Eastern Europe for future German colonization called "Lebensraum". Ukraine was especially desired since at the time it was the breadbasket of Europe. When the Germans were conquering the Soviet Union, the Ukrainians and other peoples welcomed them as heroes because of the fact they "freed" them from communist oppression. The Holodomor was fresh in the average Ukrainians memory which was an artificial famine that killed millions and they were still resentful towards Stalin.
Two groups that wanted to take advantage of this moment was the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) which was into Italian fascism, was led by Andriy Melnik and the younger more violent OUN-B, was National Socialist which was led by Stepan Bandera. They originally existed because they were angry that Poland was "occupying" the province of Galicia which is claimed by both Poles and Ukrainians (even to this day).
However, the Ukrainians would learn that the Nazis were replacing one form of oppression with another. Hitler hated Slavic peoples and wanted them enslaved, "transferred" (possibly to Siberia) or at worst exterminated. When the OUN declared an independent Ukrainian state, that was shut down as quickly as possible. The Nazis committed atrocities against the Ukrainians which soon led to the growth of more partisan groups and led to some joining the Soviet army by the time they started "liberating" it from the Nazis.
In a last ditch effort, the Nazis freed imprisoned Ukrainian nationalist leader, Stepan Bandera to inspire the Ukrainians but that ultimately failed. Even during his imprisonment all the OUN-B did was mass murder Poles in the provinces of Galicia and Volhynia. Today he's seen as a controversial figure as he is popular in Western Ukraine which is full of Catholic Ukrainians and hated in Eastern Ukraine which is full of Orthodox Russians.
April 2030, after information that has been intercepted by the crushed Warsaw Pact about the weak points of DARKWATER's defense around New York City and the massive planning that followed, the attack may commence. Platoons of EU soldiers infiltrate and squeeze through the cracks in the defense system. The most efficient way to infiltrate was to move through towering crates and harbor ships to attack the grand city.

Also big thanks to Andreas and Eric for giving me tips and advice on this too prolonged project :P
The cathedral of Geneva was built in XII century on the site of the IV century predecessor; the Neo-Classical facade was added in XIX century. During the Reformation it became the center of operations of John Calvin, one of the leaders of the movement, when it was stripped of its interior decorations.
Женевский собор был построен в XII веке на месте предшественника IV века; неоклассический фасад был добавленв XIX веке. В эпоху Реформации собор стал центром деятельности Жана Кальвина, одного из лидеров этого движения; при нём внутренний декор собора был уничтожен.

In organising this stealth operation times were agreed, watches synchronised and 4 troops would meet at the given time.
Officer Dixon and Fly by the seat of his pants Pedlar had assembled at the RV point, yet no signs of the other 2 soldiers.
Polite whistling was exchanged between OD & FP to while away a bit of time, but still no show.
So the two dedicated soldiers decided to put on their combat equipment, namely wellies and set off alone on this mission.
As the two soldiers were almost approaching the venue to be photographed, their attention was drawn to a lady several metres up the cliff face sitting at a table of the Port William pub, waving her arms in an uncoordinated manner, shouting “get up here, my glass is empty again, your round”.
So the two soldiers duly obliged where they joined Christine and Dave.
With glasses charged a thoroughly enjoyable 4 way conversation ensued in one of the most idyllic drinking locations on the north coast of Cornwall.
Following a whole load of banter it was felt while we were still able to walk we had better head down and see what we could load onto our memory cards at Trebarwith Strand.
So good to meet up again Christine, Dave and Mark.
Hope you all have a great weekend out there in Flickerland.
I so appreciate you viewing my photos and leaving the comments and banter

Almost done for the season! All the volunteers and most of the staff are finished for this year. Just the shippers remain, but have a break right now until January 7th. The remainder of all the shoebox gifts are destined for West Africa. We will start to ship on January 9th. I will be part of this, along with my son.
Happy New Year, my Flickr friends! I will be out of the country on a road trip until January 6th.

Based in Garhoud, Dubai, the airline is a subsidiary of The Emirates Group, which is owned by the government of Dubai's Investment Corporation of Dubai. It is the largest airline in the Middle East, operating more than 3,600 flights per week from its hub at Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport. It operates in more than 150 cities in 80 countries across six continents on its fleet of nearly 250 aircraft. Cargo operations are undertaken by Emirates SkyCargo.
Emirates is the world's third-largest airline by scheduled revenue passenger-kilometers flown. It is also the second-largest in terms of freight tonne-kilometers flown.
Emirates operates a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing wide-body aircraft and is one of the few airlines to operate an all-wide-body aircraft fleet (excluding Emirates Executive). As of January 2025, Emirates is the world's largest Airbus A380 operator with 116 aircraft in service. Since its introduction, the Airbus A380 has become an integral part of the Emirates fleet, especially on long-haul, high-density routes. Emirates is also the world's largest Boeing 777 operator with 133 aircraft in service. S_5064
It's hard to beat Andrew's classic Bullpup as the standard bearer of Lego military 4x4 trucks.
I've always wanted to build one in woodland camouflage, so we recently decided to swap truck designs; I'd build a variant of his new Bullpup, and he'd build a variant of my M-ATV. Really fun project all around, go check them out:

Canadian Forces Snowbirds fly over Edmonton on their cross country tour to salute front line healthcare workers and all Canadians doing their part to fight the spread of Covid-19 - dubbed OPERATION INSPIRATION. Heather and I saw the CT-114 Tutors fly almost directly over our house at 14:37 in the Snowbird signature formation called BIG DIAMOND. Two days later, on May 17th, Snowbird 11 crashed shortly after takeoff in Kamloops, BC. We mourn the death of Captain Jenn Casey and hope for the speedy recovery of Captain Richard MacDougall.

Just another from Day 1 of my outing with steam down in the canelands.
US Sugar Corporation's recently restored 4-6-2 Pacific number 148 appears as if it's floating atop the field of cane as it rolls east (railroad south) at about MP 936.2 (measured from Richmond, VA) at the head of the AAPRCO 'Sugarland Limited' special operating on rails now belonging to modern day shortline South Central Florida Express. They are heading from Sebring to Clewiston where the eight historic cars will be based at the railroad’s headquarters for the next several days of rare mileage excursions and tours.
Wholly owned by US Sugar Corp. as their common carrier railroad subsidiary, this particular trackage was built about 1922 by the Atlantic Coast Line and remained with ACL successors SCL and SBD until becoming part of CSX. The latter finally sold this branch line in June 1990 to the Brandywine Valley Railroad, a Lukens Steel Company subsidiary which operated it as the SCFE. Four years later they sold the railroad to its largest customer, U.S. Sugar which operates it as a separate company semi independent from the 119 miles of private non common carrier branch lines they already owned.
Clean burning (it's fired with used restaurant vegetable oil) 148 was built for the Florida East Coast Railway in 1920 at Alco's Richmond Works and served for the FEC for 32 years including operating over the famed 'Overseas Railroad' to Key West until that line was wiped out by the 1935 hurricane.
From 1952 to 1968, 148 was owned by US Sugar for use on their private cane hauling railroad. Later used in excursion service on the Black River and Western and Morristown and Erie Railroads it then languished with different owners for decades until being repatriated to Clewiston and restored over a four year period.

"You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world."- Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower.
80 years ago today, the largest land, air, and sea invasion in the history of the world took place. After years of careful planning and deception, the Allied powers began the invasion of Nazi occupied Europe. In the early morning hours of June 6th, 1944, American and British paratroopers descended from their planes into the towns of Normandy to secure strategic towns and bridges, while the Allied navy was transporting the ground forces across the English Channel. The Americans would land at Omaha and Utah beaches, while the British and Canadians would land at Gold, Sword, and Juno beaches. They were also accompanied by free French, Dutch, Greek, Norwegian, Polish, Czech and others from occupied nations. A total of 156,000 of allied troops would take part in the invasion.
Upon landing, the Allies would encounter fierce German resistance, and the defenses of the Atlantic Wall. Despite suffering heavy casualties, the landings were successful. The Germans did not expect landings at such a scale to take place in Normandy, and instead prepared for landings at Calais. Within months, much of France would be liberated, with few remaining German holdouts. By the end of the invasion, a total of 1.4 million allied troops would be in France, with more on the way. The success of the invasion would pave the way for the eventual end of the war against Nazi Germany.
