Old Castle Toward is in the grounds of the great house that replaced it, also called Castle Toward, which itself is long passed its glory days. The new "castle" was built in 1820 by Kirkman Finlay, former Lord Provost of Glasgow. As late as the 1920s it was still being extended and the gardens and woodlands improved. If those heady days had not come to a close as a result of the ever increasing cost of maintaining a great house in the 20th century, they certainly came to end when the 2WW broke out. Toward was requisitioned by the Navy, renamed HMS Brontosaurus, and used as a combined operations centre for training men in the techniques of loading personnel and armoured vehicles including tanks, onto all types of landing craft and in the management of beach landing operations and logistics on a beach-head.
After the war, the castles and 226 acres of ground were bought by the Corporation of Glasgow and used initially as a residential school for children recovering from illness or living in deprived home conditions. It later became available for residential education of children from Primary Schools all over Glasgow, and operated for 50 years as an outdoor education centre, during which time 400,000 children passed through its gates.
With the reorganisation of local government in Scotland in 1996, ownership passed to Argyll and Bute Council and such centres as this were threatened with closure. A rescue operation was mounted and a company, Actual Reality was formed, which kept the castle in use as an outdoor activity centre. There have been several attempts by the council to sell the estate, but all have met with fierce opposition. On 13 November 2009 Argyll and Bute Council closed the castle on the grounds that it was unfit for purpose. This followed directly Actual Reality's request to upgrade the fire protection system following an audit of the castle in co-operation with Strathclyde Fire Brigade.
There is something tragically symbolic of the age we live in about all this. For 50 years the place was all about the children that came here, now its all about 'Jobsworfs', the number of fire extinguishers available and whether there is enough money left to repair the roof after the Councilors have travelled overseas on "fact finding trips"!
Anyway, it wasn't the new castle I came to see, it is the old castle, which has quite enough tragedy associated with its history already.

I replaced the little rug that was under the coffee table with the Ikea Arden Ruta rug that I had bought for the entryway. I like it much better here, but now the entryway needs to be solved, again. I might just buy another Arden Ruta. What do you think about having two of the same rug in a room?

Hamilton. Formerly known as the Grange Hamilton is as Scottish as it comes in heritage terms. It sits astride Burn Grange a creek that flows into the Wannon River. It is surrounded by a rich volcanic basalt plain. It claims to be the Wool Capital of the world, the source of its early wealth, but today the economy is very mixed with beef cattle being important. Thomas Mitchell in 1836 said of the Hamilton town site “A finer country could scarcely be imagined: enormous trees of the mimosa or wattle, of which the bark is so valuable, grew almost everywhere”. This was the Australia Felix that he so greatly praised. Mitchell named the creek Grange Burn. The Wedge family established a sheep run called the Grange near here in 1839. In November 1939 the government surveyor who later laid out Portland, recommended this spot for a town. Wedges moved on partly because of conflict with the local Aboriginal groups but other pastoralists replaced them. Sheep were killed, shepherds killed and of course whites retaliated with guns against the Aboriginal people. No official reports of murder were made. Governor La Trobe visited the Grange in 1841 and because of violence between blacks and whites he sent Acheson French as a police magistrate there with troopers for support. The violence had died out by 1842. A village emerged around 1848 and the town was gazetted in 1851. It was named after Hamilton near Glasgow as most settlers were Scottish.
The Grange/Hamilton.
White settlers moved into this area in 1839 settling on land on the Grange Burn (or river) which is a tributary of the Wannon which goes into the Glenelg River. The Wedge family who came in 1839 called their sheep run The Grange. The government surveyor Charles Tyers who had surveyed Portland recommended a spot on the Grange River for a town which the Commissioner of Lands for the Port Philip District of NSW approved a few months later in early 1840. By then the Wedges had left because of ongoing conflict and hostility with the local Aboriginal people. One of their shepherds had been killed and there was undoubtedly retaliation for that. Other settlers fared better in their relations with Aborigines because they treated them better and freely gave out meat and flour rations. One of the infamous massacres of Aboriginal people in Victoria occurred near Hamilton on 8th March 1840. This occurred just north of Coleraine on Konongwootong station (57,000 acres) run by the Whyte brothers. They also perpetrated the massacre with no official action taken. Around 40 Aboriginal men, women and children were surrounded and massacred after 127 sheep had been taken for meat. Various sources put the death toll at between 20 to 50 members of the Jardwadjali tribe but Aboriginal tradition estimates it at a higher figure. The Whyte brother stayed on and Konongwootong was divided between the brothers in 1849 and then for closer settlement in 1921.
Violence between black and white subsided in 1841 after Governor La Trobe visited the Grange (Hamilton) and appointed a magistrate and ordered police troopers to be stationed at The Grange. A rudimentary Courthouse, barracks and police station followed on the corner of Martin and Thompson streets. Thus began the city of Hamilton out of violence. The town’s first policeman also established the Grange Inn in 1843 and a blacksmith set up a workshop in 1844 as a tiny town began to emerge. Shanties, a few houses and a store opened in 1848 to serve the surrounding sheep stations and the government order a full town survey in 1849. It was gazetted as Hamilton in 1851.The first police magistrate was Acheson French hence those street names in the town. He developed a mansion on his property which he called Monivae(1878).It is now a Catholic College. The first school in Hamilton opened in 1852 and a second hotel in 1853 followed by the first Catholic and Anglican Churches in 1857 and a Presbyterian Church in 1858. The 1854 census noted 230 people living in Hamilton and this grew to 1,197 in the 1861 census, 2,967 in 1881 and 4,024 in the 1901 census. By the 1860s the town had nine hotels, seven churches, two breweries, a tannery, a coach building works, flourmill and a Mechanics Institute. In the 1870s the town prospered more as the rail link to the port facilities at Portland was completed and the town was linked to Melbourne via Ararat and Ballart.
The Botanical Gardens designed by William Guilfoyle.
Land was set aside for a botanic gardens in 1853 but nothing happened until 1870 when the first gardener was appointed and some plantings occurred. In 1881 William Guilfoyle was commissioned to design the gardens. He employed his usual techniques of winding paths, a feature lake with white swans, fountain, aviary and animal enclosure, a rotunda, giant trees, rare plants and trees, garden beds and sweeping lawns. Some of these garden features were added later such as the fountain in 1917 and the rotunda in 1988. A list some of the rare plants is located beside the majestic entrance gates also a feature of Guilfoyle’s design. These unusual plants include California Live Oak, Himalayan Oak, Kentucky Coffee Tree, and some rare pines which he often used in his plans. Because he chose plants adaptable to drought and suited to the country they have thrived and grown into massive specimens. This is one of the most intact of Guilfoyle’s garden plans and was a commission he undertook whilst serving as Director of the Melbourne Botanic Gardens.
I replaced C45 with Pilotfly Traveler. I used C45 with RX100M4/LX100 but finally determined my GX7MK3 with Gimbal.
I suppose the better part of guys who have Traveler use this with Sony RX series since I didn't find out anybody who toy with Traveler + LUMIX. So I would like to try to test several combination with Traveler and LUMIX Lenses.
LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 8-18mm/F2.8-4.0 ; Available.
LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-60mm/F2.8-4.0: Available.
LEICA DG SUMMILUX 15mm/F1.7: Available.
LEICA DG SUMMILUX 25mm/F1.4: Available.
LEICA DG MACRO-ELMARIT 45mm / F2.8 : Available.
I was afraid if I got a counter wait problem since C45 couldn't be used with GX7MK3 due to this. Traveler has no counter wait issue. So..if you are LUMIX GX7 series user and have an interest in Pilotfly Traveler, you can proceed to buy this coll Gimbal:-).
These old turbines are due to be replaced by fewer much larger ones. These are 43m high the 9 new ones will be 115m - quite a sight, Notice how the current ones are rather crudely made with identical barrel-like segments with no tapering. And yes I was on my back when I took this photo!
To release the memory you will need to push the metal handles that are located on the sides of the memory away from the memory.
The memory chip will pop up.
Take it out. Insert the new memory at a 45 degree angle (just like the old memory was when it poped up) and push it down until you hear a click.

This set of images shows step-by-step how to replace the keyboard.
Step 1- open the laptop and fold back the screen. Locate the small indentation on the right hand side of the grey strip above the keyboard and carefully prise the strip up using a small flat-blade screwdriver.
To replace the ageing Predator and Reaper drones, the US Airforce comminsioined a new line of unmanned ariel vechiles with the ability to loiter over battlefields for a continuous stream of intelligence. Thus the Albatross was born. Equipped with a coxial 50 caliber machingun, the Albatross is capable of both light air support and up to date real time battlegied information. Several models have been shipped out to key US allies all over the world.

Replacing an earlier digital photo with a better version 24-Dec-19.
First flown with the Airbus test registration F-WWDI in Nov-92, the aircraft was originally ordered by lessor GPA Airbus A320 but the order had been cancelled and the aircraft was stored at Toulouse, France in Dec-92.
It was delivered to ILFC International Lease Finance Corporation and leased to Monarch Airlines as G-OZBB in Mar-94.

Replacing a temporary vehicle in the fleet of 36-branded vehicles is BF62UXZ, one of 6 brand new Volvo B9TL Wright Eclipse Gemini 2's that were delivered to Transdev in December 2012 - though personally I think this registraton should have been applied to a Coastliner vehicle and BF62 UYL gone on this one, as it's out of sequence with the rest... though eventually 3613 here will be re-registered X13 VTD.
3613 is the only B9 in the Transdev Harrogate and District fleet, and cost £200,000. This can be told apart from the heavily-refurbished B7's because of the Wrights logo at the front (instead of a blank panel with the 36 logo painted on), a Volvo badge, and a straight upper deck grabrail in front of the windscreen, as opposed to a curved one. This extra vehicle has been required due to a frequency increase for the 36 to make up for each bus losing just over a dozen seats to improve passenger comfort.
So we bought a replacement blanket from ebay, not sure what to expect.
What we got was a sheet of neoprene rubber, typically used in making a wetsuit. Figuring it *should* work, we tried it out today.
Notes are above.
It was a total success

Now almost 35 years old, the aircraft continues in service. Updated 11-Feb-24.
Work on replacing the street bridge over Broadway in Kingston NY opened in 1952 next to the CSX bridge from the same time and repairing the concrete abutments instead of replacing them the old bridge was removed last week this whole job should take about a year they say.

Navy, Purple, Green and Red. An AM1 with nice colors and awesome materials. Where else are you going to get a AM1 with Denim, Corduroy, Nubuck, Laces with Red matching lace tips and the Thailand mold. It doesn't get any better than this in these modern Nike times.
Bought this with insurance money in 1985 to replace the stolen Canon AE1 I'd bought in 1978 to coincide with the birth of my first kid. It worked with the FD lenses I had for the AE1. Brilliant first camera with a chip inside. No auto-focus but worked with lovely Canon & 3rd party FD glass. Still works fine. Supplanted when Canon developed its EOS electronic link between lens and camera to coincide with the new EF lenses and auto-focus in the late 80s - but not for me till years later. Despite eventually getting a 2nd-hand EOS-1, this was my all-time favorite camera till very recently when digital SLRs developed some of the same capabilities (and more).... Had this insured for lots of money for ages till I saw the prices on eBay, whereupon I bought a 2nd one as a back-up in case it breaks down, which it shows no sign of doing: lens still worth more than the camera despite not being compatible with new Canon SLRs. That lens is amazing: maybe one day I can afford the equivalent in EF - though 1.6 crop means I get something like the same effect with the brilliant-value 85mm f/1.8 lens that is just so great for portraits.
This is a photograph from the 3rd Annual Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races hosted by Bohermeen AC on the 2nd March 2014 at 12:00 at Bohermeen, Ardbraccan, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland. This year's event included a 10KM race which replaced the 5KM event held on the previous years. This event has grown quickly in popularity over the past few years with this year's entry of 700 beating the previous race numbers of 680. This half marathon event is perfectly placed in the Irish running calendar as it provides runners of all levels and abilities an opportunity to test the half marathon distance in preparation for a Spring Marathon or as the first serious running goal of the New Year. Bohermeen AC is steeped in Irish athletics history since 1927 and it is this experience and exceptional community spirit and volunteering which has made this event today so successful. The very heavy rain that fell on the 10KM race and the begining of the Half Marathon did nothing to dampen the spirits of the participants. In fact, despite a head wind at certain parts of the course, this was a perfect day for road racing.
Our full set of photographs from today's event are available on Flickr at the following link http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157641717197563/. This set of photographs is mostly of the Half Marathon race but there are some from the 10KM event.

The Satellite Navigation Coordinates to Bohermeen are [53.650882,-6.77989] and is accessible using the M3, N2 and N52
The routing for the 2014 event has changed slightly from previous year. In 2014 the race starts about 100m away from the Bohermeen Club Race HQ [See Google StreetView in the direction of the imagery goo.gl/maps/rtj1X] and the race proceeds down the road towards Navan. Just before the 1st mile the race takes a right turn [see Google Streetview goo.gl/maps/iGrR0] which brings runners on the route of the famous Patrick Bell 5KM Road Race route held at Bohermeen every summer. Then the route turns slightly eastwards and this brings the race along a beautiful stretch of rural countryside road. This connects runners with the main loop [see Google StreetView goo.gl/maps/gLI1l] where the race follows the N51 towards Navan. The race must now complete this loop (which passes through the start area and past the finish) and then a full loop again before finishing in the Athletics track. The only hills to speak of in this course are on the the stretch where the race route crosses the M3 motorway (see Google Streetview - as of March 2014 their imagery is a little out of date for the M3 goo.gl/maps/tcdJX). The only major climb on the course must be tackled twice as the road rises up over the M3 Motorway. This comes at about the 5M and 11.5 Mile mark in the race.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
many many years ago sewerage pipes of houses were made of metal. using a metal grinder we slowly cut off the old rusted pipes in preparation for the new installation of the modern plastic pipes . here are some images of this moment
The church San Sebastian de La Rochette replaced in the 1180s building a robust eleventh century. His plan is simple: a single nave, transept crossing a fake and a semicircular apse.
The facade has a central portal to three naked arches and two side arches each containing a small carved tympanum. North tympanum (left has a equestrian figure stomping a little character. Latter holds a scholarship. So it can be a representation of the victory of virtue over greed, vice. Unless not necessary to see here a figure of Constantine, the first Christian emperor, symbolizing the triumph of the church over paganism.
To the south, presented under the guise of a bearded man squatting edge at full speed vice symbolized by a character riding a fantastic animal.
Some interpretations have this man as Samson the lion.
Above the portal, consoles indicate the past presence of a built in 1632 to enlarge the church and now defunct porch. A series of ornate corbels and confined by two columns window occupy the upper part of the facade.
Capitals in replacement were placed high up the corners of the front and side walls. These are punctuated by massive buttresses. Animals, plants and various characters adorn the corbels supporting the ledge to the north and south.
The apse is supported by two flat and shows no ornamentation foothills. A bell tower overcomes the false transept crossing. Its floor is drilled in 1905 recovered five openings: two kinds of loopholes in the west and a rectangular bay on each other faces.
Coverage of the building, recently restored (1980), consists of limestone slate.
Inside, the nave is covered with a broken and divided into three bays by arches falling on half-columns with carved cradle. Three bays are drilled north and south. Those in the north had been walled up in the early sixteenth century.
The full cradle vaulted arch above the apse false square topped by a cul-de-four and lit by an opening window in the south.
We also find this side of a swimming pool and two niches of cabinets.
The interior of San Sebastian offers fine examples of Romanesque sculpture. In addition to the palms and animal heads, we see, at the entrance of false square, a lion, one of the hind legs is devoured by a head. Its tail ends itself in the form of head. Cinch corner and scrolls adorn the capitals framing the entrance to the sanctuary.
The capitals of the nave have, among other characters grappling with ducks, lions devouring the arms of a man or an unfortunate armed with a spear and defending against a monster that already eats up a knee.
As the eardrums of the facade, most of these storied capitals involved a pervasive iconography in the decor of our medieval churches intended to illustrate the ongoing struggle between good and evil.

"Construction of the new bridge will begin in May 2013. The existing 89-year-old Johnson Street Bridge is expected to stay open throughout construction as crews build the new bridge slightly to the north. The new bridge will open to traffic by the end of 2015."

The R Type is the second series of post-war Bentley automobiles, replacing the Mark VI. Essentially a larger-boot version of the Mk VI, the R type is regarded by some as a stop-gap before the introduction of the S series cars in 1955. As with its predecessor, a standard body was available as well as coachbuilt versions by firms including H. J. Mulliner & Co., Park Ward, Harold Radford, Freestone and Webb and others.
Other than the radiator grilles and the carburation there was little difference between the standard Bentley R Type and the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn. The R Type was the more popular marque, with some 2,500 units manufactured during its run to the Silver Dawn's 760.
DESIGN
During development it was referred to as the Bentley Mark VII; the chassis cards for these cars describe them as Bentley 7. The R Type name which is now usually applied stems from chassis series RT. The front of the saloon model was identical to the Mark VI, but the boot (trunk) was almost doubled in capacity. The engine displacement was approximately 4½ litres, as fitted to later versions of the Mark VI. An automatic choke was fitted to the R-type's carburettor. The attachment of the rear springs to the chassis was altered in detail between the Mark VI and the R Type.
For buyers looking for a more distinctive car, a decreasing number had custom coachwork available from the dwindling number of UK coachbuilders. These ranged from the grand flowing lines of Freestone and Webb's conservative, almost prewar shapes, to the practical conversions of Harold Radford which including a clamshell style tailgate and folding rear seats
RUNNING GEAR
All R Type models use an iron-block/aluminium-head straight-6 engine fed by twin SU Type H6 carburettors. The basic engine displaced 4,566 cc with a 92 mm bore and 114.3 mm stroke. A 4-speed manual transmission was standard with a 4-speed automatic option becoming standard on later cars.
Brakes and suspension
The suspension was independent at the front using coil springs with semi elliptic leaf springs at the rear. The brakes used 311 mm drums all round and were operated hydraulically at the front and mechanically at the rear via a gearbox driven servo.
PERFORMANCE
A four door saloon with automatic transmission tested by the British magazine The Motor in 1953 had a top speed of 163.7 km/h and could accelerate from 0-97 km/h in 13.25 seconds. A fuel consumption of 18.2 L/100 km was recorded. The test car cost £4481 including taxes.
BODIES
The first example is the standard steel saloon built by Bentley, but a number of customers opted for a bare chassis which was taken to a coachbuilder of their choice.
R-TYPE CONTINENTAL
The R-Type Continental was a high-performance version of the R-Type. It was the fastest four-seat car in production at the time.
The prototype was developed by a team of designers and engineers from Rolls-Royce Ltd. and H. J. Mulliner & Co. led by Rolls-Royce's Chief Project Engineer, Ivan Evernden. Rolls-Royce worked with H. J. Mulliner instead of their own coachbuilding subsidiary Park Ward because the former had developed a lightweight body construction system using metal throughout instead of the traditional ash-framed bodies.
The styling, finalised by Stanley Watts of H. J. Mulliner, was influenced by aerodynamic testing conducted at Rolls-Royce's wind tunnel by Evernden's assistant, Milford Read. The rear fins stabilised the car at speed and made it resistant to changes in direction due to crosswinds.
A maximum kerb weight of 34 long hundredweight (1,700 kg) was specified to keep the tyres within a safe load limit at a top speed of 190 km/h.
The prototype, with chassis number 9-B-VI and registration number OLG-490, which earned it the nickname "Olga", was on the road by August 1951. Olga and the first series of production Continentals were based on the Mark VI chassis, and used a manual mixture control on the steering wheel boss, as these versions did not have an automatic choke.
The early R Type Continental has essentially the same engine as the standard R Type, but with modified carburation, induction and exhaust manifolds along with higher gear ratios. The compression ratio was raised to 7.25:1 from the standard 6.75:1, while the final gear ratio was raised (lowered numerically) from 3.41 to 3.07.
Despite its name, the two-door Continental was produced principally for the domestic home market, most of the 207 cars produced were right-hand drive, with 43 left-hand drive examples produced for use abroad. The chassis was produced at the Rolls-Royce Crewe factory and shared many components with the standard R type. R-Type Continentals were delivered as rolling chassis to the coachbuilder of choice. Coachwork for most of these cars was completed by H. J. Mulliner & Co. who mainly built them in fastback coupe form. Other coachwork came from Park Ward (London) who built six, later including a drophead coupe version. Franay (Paris) built five, Graber (Wichtrach, Switzerland) built three, one of them later altered by Köng (Basel, Switzerland), and Pininfarina made one. James Young (London) built in 1954 a Sports Saloon for the owner of the company, James Barclay.
After July 1954, the car was fitted with an engine with a larger bore of 94.62 mm, giving a total displacement of 4.9 L.
The rarity of the R Type Continental has made the car valuable to car collectors. In 2015 a 1952 R Type Continental, in unrestored condition, sold for over $1 million USD.

Leased from Lauda Air and operated for Lufthansa by Condor Flugdienst with this 'colour reversal' tail livery.
This aircraft was delivered to Lauda Air as OE-LAZ in Aug-99. Lauda Air was taken over by Austrian Airlines in Dec-00 but continued to operate as a separate entity until it was officially merged into Austrian in Apr-05.
The aircraft was leased to Lufthansa in Mar-03 and repainted in full 'Star Alliance' livery. It was re-registered D-ABUW in Apr-03 and operated for Lufthansa by Condor Flugdienst.
It was returned to Lauda Air on Oct-04 and they were merged into Austrian Airlines in Apr-05 and initially operated ex Lauda charter services. Blended Winglets were added in May-09.
In Jul-12 after a number of strikes in various areas, Austrian transferred all its aircraft to Tyrolean Airways and staff had to re-apply for positions with Tyrolean. The airline continued to operate as Austrian Airlines with additional small 'Operated by Tyrolean Airways' titles.
.In Mar-15 a new labour agreement was signed with the Unions and Tyrolean Airways was re-integrated into Austrian Airlines. Now 25 years old the aircraft continues in service. Updated 25-Dec-24.
U-nit puzzle, unfortunately in its box (I only have the label with the puzzle name)
520 pieces with 40 single whimsies and 6 whimsies made up of 2 to 4 pieces.
I received this puzzle in pretty poor condition. Three pieces were redone, a lot of paper repairs were done, and delaminated pieces were glued back together. There are still a few pieces nibbled by an insect (or a snail) and quite a bit of discoloration, probably due to humidity.
It nonetheless remains a magnificent seaside scene, enhanced by a sublime cutout. The figures are very precise, whether representative (birds, cat, reindeer, and people) or geometric. The geometric figures have almost perfect symmetries.

North American RA-5C 'Vigilante' (BuNo 156625) of Reconnaissance Attack Squadron (RVAH) 6 pictured coming aboard the USS Kitty Hawk (CVA 63) during operations in the Western Pacific in 1975-edited-Not part of my personal collectionun-edited-Not part of my personal collection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North American A-5 Vigilante is an American carrier-based supersonic bomber designed and built by North American Aviation for the United States Navy. It set several world records including long distance speed and altitude records. Its service in the nuclear strike role to replace the Douglas A-3 Skywarrior was very short; however, as the RA-5C, it saw extensive service during the Vietnam War in the tactical strike reconnaissance role. Prior to the unification of the Navy designation sequence with the Air Force sequence in 1962, it was designated the A3J Vigilante.
Design and development
In 1953, North American Aviation began a private study for a carrier-based, long-range, all-weather strike bomber, capable of delivering nuclear weapons at supersonic speeds. This proposal, the North American General Purpose Attack Weapon (NAGPAW) concept, was accepted by the United States Navy, with some revisions, in 1955. A contract was awarded on 29 August 1956. Its first flight occurred two years later on 31 August 1958 in Columbus, Ohio.
At the time of its introduction, the Vigilante was one of the largest and by far the most complex aircraft to operate from a United States Navy aircraft carrier. It had a high-mounted swept wing with a boundary-layer control system (blown flaps) to improve low-speed lift. There were no ailerons. Roll control was provided by spoilers in conjunction with differential deflection of the all-moving tail surfaces. The use of aluminum-lithium alloy for wing skins and titanium for critical structures was also unusual. The A-5 had two widely spaced General Electric J79 turbojet engines (the same as used on the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II fighter), fed by intake ramps and a single large all-moving vertical stabilizer. Preliminary design studies had employed twin vertical fin/rudders. The wings, vertical stabilizer and the nose radome folded for carrier stowage. The Vigilante had a crew of two seated in tandem, a pilot and a bombardier-navigator (BN) (reconnaissance/attack navigator (RAN) on later reconnaissance versions) seated on individual North American HS-1A ejection seats.
Despite being designated by the US Navy as a "heavy", the A-5 was surprisingly agile; without the drag of bombs or missiles, even escorting fighters found that the clean airframe and powerful engines made the Vigilante very fast at high and low altitudes. However, its high approach speed and high angle of attack in the landing configuration made returning to the aircraft carrier a challenge for inexperienced or unwary pilots.
The Vigilante had advanced and complex electronics when it first entered service. It had one of the first "fly-by-wire" systems on an operational aircraft (with mechanical/hydraulic backup) and a computerized AN/ASB-12 nav/attack system incorporating a head-up display ("Pilot's Projected Display Indicator" (PPDI), one of the first), multi-mode radar, radar-equipped inertial navigation system (REINS, based on technologies developed for North American's Navaho missile), closed-circuit television camera under the nose, and an early digital computer known as "Versatile Digital Analyzer" (VERDAN) to run it all.
Given its original design as a carrier-based, supersonic, nuclear heavy attack aircraft, the Vigilante's main armament was carried in a novel "linear bomb bay" between the engines in the rear fuselage, which provided for positive separation of the bomb from the aircraft at supersonic speeds. The single nuclear weapon, commonly the Mk 28 bomb, was attached to two disposable fuel tanks in the cylindrical bay in an assembly known as the "stores train". A set of extendable fins was attached to the aft end of the most rearward fuel tank. These fuel tanks were to be emptied during the flight to the target and then jettisoned with the bomb by an explosive drogue gun. The stores train was propelled rearward at about 50 feet per second (30 knots) relative to the aircraft. It thereafter followed a typical ballistic path.
In practice, the system was not reliable and no live weapons were ever carried in the linear bomb bay. In the RA-5C configuration, the bay was used solely for fuel. On three occasions, the shock of the catapult launch caused the fuel cans to eject onto the deck; this resulted in one aircraft loss.
The Vigilante originally had two wing pylons, intended primarily for drop tanks. The second Vigilante variant, the A3J-2 (A-5B), incorporated internal tanks for an additional 460 gallons of fuel (which added a pronounced dorsal "hump") along with two additional wing hardpoints, for a total of four. In practice the hardpoints were rarely used. Other improvements included blown flaps on the leading edge of the wing and sturdier landing gear.
The reconnaissance version of the Vigilante, the RA-5C, had slightly greater wing area and added a long canoe-shaped fairing under the fuselage for a multi-sensor reconnaissance pack. This added an APD-7 side-looking airborne radar (SLAR), AAS-21 infrared line scanner, and camera packs, as well as improved ECM. An AN/ALQ-61 electronic intelligence system could also be carried. The RA-5C retained the AN/ASB-12 bombing system, and could, in theory, carry weapons, although it never did in service. Later-build RA-5Cs had more powerful J79-10 engines with afterburning thrust of 17,900 lbf (80 kN). The reconnaissance Vigilante weighed almost five tons more than the strike version with almost the same thrust and an only modestly enlarged wing. These changes cost it acceleration and climb rate, though it remained fast in level flight.
The Royal Australian Air Force considered the RA-5C Vigilante as a replacement for its English Electric Canberra. The McDonnell F-4C/RF-4C, Dassault Mirage IVA, and the similar BAC TSR-2 was also considered. However, the TFX (later the F-111C Aardvark) was accepted.
