127-GVC-A900177: Operation Homecoming. American Prisoners of War come into the mess hall for lunch while the North Vietnamese guard issues their food. (6/25/2014).
Prison Liaison Officers alongside colleagues from Challenger and Specialist Operations executed two simultaneous warrants in Little Hulton this morning (Thursday 12 December 2024).
The warrants at addresses on Captain Fold Road and Ordsall Avenue, were targeted after an investigation into drones flying contraband including drugs, phones, tobacco, and other illicit items into HMP Hindley, led officers to those properties.
The investigation began on Saturday 28 September 2024 after officers taking part in a proactive operation in Wigan, located a drone heading in the direction of HMP Hindley.
A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of conveying list ‘A’ items into a prison, however, no drone or contraband were recovered at the time of his arrest.
Officers continued to work through the information they had which led them to two addresses in Little Hulton this morning.
Although no arrests were made, officers did manage to seize a bladed article and a number of mobiles, thought to be in the process of being conveyed into prison.
Constable Fenney from our Wigan district said: "This morning's warrant is just one part of our sustained, strategic approach to combating drug drops via drones and throw overs at HMP Hindley.
“We've been executing targeted operations to dismantle the networks behind these aerial contraband and drug deliveries, but our work doesn't stop here. We're working closely with prison authorities, following up on leads and pursuing those who we believe are responsible for these drops.
“I would like to remind the people of Wigan to continue to report your concerns to us, as all credible reports of information helps us build an intelligence picture to continue with our work of conducting meaningful warrants.
“You can do this direct by calling 101 or through our Live Chat function at gmp.police.uk, or alternatively speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or through their website.”

Operation Dad is a mission to provide 6000 "care packages" to soldiers (male and female) of the 506th Combat Brigade from Fort Campbell, KY.
One of our members, whose husband is deployed in Afghanistan, here came to us with a request for 200 packages, and God saw fit for us to "Supersize it." Two Hundred suddenly became six thousand. The six thousand packages also include a toy for the Afghani children that our soldiers encounter.
We need your help. Visit www.operationdad2008.com for contact information and ways that you can help.
Deadline is May 21 so that we can have time to ship to Afghanistan for arrival by Father's Day.

A Tameside policing operation has cracked down on ASB with proactive patrols tackling everything from drug use to problematic street drinking.
A proactive policing operation was launched in June, with funding providing extra patrols across Ashton-under-Lyne and surrounding areas identified as having repeat offences, including local transport hubs and shopping spots.
Officers target these areas at peak times and further undertake disruption visits to pre-emptively stop incidents.
The operation has seen a crackdown and multiple actions and positive outcomes. July, August, and September saw a range of results in Ashton town centre, including 12 arrests, 28 stop-searches, 33 public space protection order warnings issued, and 30 logs responded to.
As an example of the reduction in quarter three of this year, August reported 30 incidents of ASB, while September recorded 10 – showing the positive effects of the ongoing work.
The operation has meant more patrols have been targeting the issues that the public care about and ensuring that criminals and anti-social behaviour are stopped in their tracks.
Tameside work.
As part of anti-social behaviour week, on Wednesday, neighbourhood officers in Ashton town centre secured two arrests on suspicion of possession of a Class B drug, which resulted in street cautions.
Further cautions were issued for someone smoking cannabis in public, while other people were provided with words of advice.
Sergeant Rob Froggatt, from GMP’s Tameside district, said: “People want to see officers out and about in the community, engaging with the public, and locking up those who disrupt their lives. Our operation is delivering exactly that.
“We know and appreciate just how much anti-social behaviour can disrupt people’s lives – whether it’s people taking drugs in public or intimidating people in town centres – and our work is designed to crack down on exactly those sort of offences.
“In addition to our own work, we liaise closely with partners in the community, including local charities and services, to ensure we stop ASB from progressing into more serious offences. Likewise, by conducting preventative engagement work, we can stop the offences from ever happening.
“If you are having issues with ASB, I would urge you to get in touch with your local team, who will be best-placed to offer advice and support on the issues you are having.”
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.

Oosterbeek Church first featured in the fighting at Arnhem on 19th September 1944, when Major Richard Lonsdale, second in command of 11th Bn Parachute Regiment, gathered the survivors of the fighting around St Elisabeth Hospital.
The defenders of this sector of the Oosterbeek Perimeter became known as 'Lonsdale Force' and the church was soon known as 'Lonsdale Church'. Close by was Kate Ter Horst's house, used as an aid post, guns of the 1st Airlanding Light Regiment dug in around the church site, and at the close of the battle, there were many foxholes of the survivors of 1st Airborne.
South of the church, and visible from the back of it was the Lower Rhine, and it was close to here that Operation Berlin - the evacuation of 1st Airborne - took place from Driel on 25th/26th September.

An Ilford HP5+ exposed for 800 ISO film with my Zorki 1 type D (year 1955), Lyon, France, February 5, 2023.
The Zorki camera was loaded with a 36-exposure Ilford HP5+ film, with its leader trimmed for old Leica's. During operations the Industar-22 lens was equipped with a 36mm push-on 1A filter and a generic metal cylindric shade hood.
Expositions were determined for 800 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas.
Typically the shutter exposure time was 1/200s with diaphragm of F/5.6 to f/11 for a quite cloudy weather.
Quai Romain Rolland, February 5, 2023
69005 Lyon
France
After exposure, the film was processed using Adox Adonal (= Agfa Rodinal) developer at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 8 min according to development data for pushing the HP5+ film to 800 ISO. The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body adapted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III and a Minolta Slide Duplicator using a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5 at a reproduction ratio of 1:1. The reproduced RAW files obtained were processed in LR prior the the final JPEG editions.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg.
About the camera and the lens:
This camera is a practically mint sample of Zorki 1 arrived to me in Lyon, France, January 10, 2023.
The camera looked exiting from the KMZ factory in USSR almost 70 years later spent in a time capsule ... with almost no traces of use. According to a custom receipt of July 28, 1955, signed in Vienna, Austria, the camera body and lens are the original matched ones. As for the original FED, FED-Zorki and Zorki's ("ФЭД", "ФЭД-Зоркий", „Зоркий“), the Zorki 1 was a straight legal copy of the Oskar Barnack Leica II after the cancelation of German camera patents following the end of WWII.
This Zorki 1 is a type D model PM1115 (year 1955 according sovietcams.com/index7584.html). Type D Zorki's were produced from 1953 to 1955 in about 250.000 units with serial numbers ranging from #470.000 to (in 1955) #55 45.000. The original lens of this Zorki units is an collapsible lens Industar-22 1:3.5 f=5cm.
In the rear pocket of the ever-ready leather bag was still deposited the Austrian custom receipt from 1955 and a film label of Agfa negative-color CN17 likely from the 60's.
