Pilots cottages on Llanddwyn. The pilots also manned the lifeboat station which was later run by the RNLI. A small light was established in 1823 by the Caernarfon Harbour Trustees as a navigational aid for entering the Menai Straits and Caernarfon harbour.
These aircraft were used to deliver and collect secret agents into France during WW2. The bravery of the pilots, landing in the dead of night, in a field lit only by a few torches, is something I can't even begin to understand. Every landing could have been an ambush. The courage of the people they were transporting is on another level - beyond my comprehension. It throws our day-to-day travails into sharp perspective.

The row of four small cottages on Llanddwyn Island was built for the pilots who helped boats navigate into the ports along the Menai Strait. This narrow channel dividing Anglesey from the Welsh mainland posed a threat of grounding on sand banks to the boats calling mainly at the ports of Caernarfon, Y Felinheli and Bangor to collect the fine roofing slate produced in the hills of North Wales. As well as guiding commercial shipping, the pilots crewed the Llanddwyn lifeboat until its wathdrawal from service in 1903.

His work almost done and about to leave us for good. I like the effects of the lights on the water behind
More progress on her orange flight suit + a removable pilot vest. Yes it can be worn by the figure ontop of the torso.
As request, I opted against anime style eyes (for now), although I may try them out to see if they work or not.

A Bristol Boxkite, designed in 1910, this replica was made in the mid-1960s for the movie 'Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines'
I wonder how long it takes to check the tension on all those bracing cables.....
The Boxkite was a relatively successful 2-seat training aircraft of its day, with 87 being constructed in the years before WW1. It can achieve a dizzying speed of approx 40mph/64km/h.
It is owned and operated by The Shuttleworth Collection in Bedford, England.
On Llanddwyn Island. Anglesey.
The pilots resided here and met sailing ships that were heading up the Menai Straits.
Great in the Summer, but a nightmare in the Winter months I would have thought if you personally know the Menai Straits.
Nice storm brewing over our rented cottage in the far distance...good move coming here l'd say. :-)

What an adventurous way to get to work! A harbor pilot is working his way around the deck of a pilot boat to, literally, jump onboard this cruise ship. The harbor pilot can assist the captain in bringing the ship to and from port, or they could take control of the ship and bring it in and out of port on their own.
I totally messed up on this one! With a very quick grab of my camera, I just didn't think to check my shutter speed, as it was a little too slow for action like this!

This was taken almost a week ago, and the colors are all but gone! The last shot i posted of this very area had our first light snow on 10.14.18.
It's where I go to pause, listen to nature, breath fresh air and hike. It's my "Big Time Out!" :)

From the observation tower at Middle Harbor Shoreline Park, you also had a good vantage on the channel to Oakland's inner harbor and the pilot boats speeding to and fro.
Pilot Knob State Park - Iowa
This very popular pond is for summer fishing and picnics. The frozen winter months are for ice skating, ice fishing and kids sliding around chasing each other . . . without skates.
On this peaceful autumn day, the clear sky reflection colored the pond with pristine blues . . .

Paul Bonhomme taxis Spitfire Ia N3200 at Duxford. The aircraft is a geniune combat veteran and was shot down near Calais on 26th May 1940 while flying in support of the Dunkirk evacuation. She remained there until being rediscovered in 1986, eventually making her way back to the UK in 2007. A full restoration was conducted by Historic Flying Limited at Duxford and she made her first post restoration flight on 26th March 2014. The aircraft was donated to the Imperial War Museum in July 2015 and continues to fly from Duxford, her original wartime base.
