The Grumman EA-6B Prowler was developed primarily to replace older electronic warfare aircraft in US Navy service, namely the EKA-3B Skywarrior, as well as a response to the growing lethality of Eastern Bloc electronic threats. Initially, the ALQ-99 electronics suite was installed in a standard A-6 Intruder airframe as the EA-6A, but the aircraft was somewhat limited and workload was heavier for a two-man crew, especially in combat. EA-6As did see combat in Vietnam with the US Marine Corps, but something better was clearly needed. The result was the lengthened EA-6B Prowler, which upgraded the electronics suite considerably and also added two more crewmembers to reduce workload and increase effectiveness. The EA-6B first flew in May 1968, and entered US Navy and Marine service in 1971.
The ALQ-99 system is divided between several antennae on the aircraft, including the distinctive “football” antenna at the top of the tail. Most of the noise jammers are in the three or five underwing pods the Prowler almost always carries, though in the case of a three-pod arrangement, often antiradar missiles such as the AGM-88 HARM. It can also be used as an electronics intelligence (Elint) aircraft.
Continually updated over its life, the EA-6B has also seen action in both Gulf Wars, Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Kosovo; in service over the Middle East, the Prowler has proven effective in jamming IED detonation signals. With the retirement of the USAF’s EF-111 Ravens, the EA-6B was the sole ECM aircraft in US service, further contributing to the overwork of the aircraft, and has often been the only ECM aircraft available in NATO operations as well. The last of the A-6 family in service, the Prowler has almost been completely replaced by the EF-18G Growler, beginning in 2009.
Probably because it was so recently retired, I couldn't find much on EA-6B Bureau Number 163886, other than it served with VAQ-134 ("Garudas"), with its final deployment coming aboard the USS George HW Bush (CVN-77), supporting airstrikes against ISIS forces in the Middle East. 163886 was flown from the carrier directly to Buckley AFB, outside of Denver, Colorado; it was demiiltarized, partially dismantled, and taken to the Wings Over the Rockies museum, where it was restored to its former appearance. As a "Double Nuts" aircraft (AJ-500), it was the squadron commander's aircraft, and therefore wore full-color markings. Several squadron awards are carried between the cockpits, as well as the crew's names; the plane captain's and squadron maintenance man of the year's names are carried on the nose. (The latter is from Missoula, Montana, where I went to college!)

Operating for Monarch Airlines, still in basic Saudi Arabian Airlines livery on a murky morning at Manchester. Grainy too!
Leased from ILFC, this aircraft was delivered to World Airways in Apr-93 as N273WA. As well as it's own services, World Airways operated extensively for the US Government and also for other airlines on an 'ACMI' leasing basis (= Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance & Insurance). It was wet-leased to the following airlines, mostly on annual Haj Pilgrimage flights... Garuda Indonesia, Apr/Jul-93. Malaysia Airlines, Oct-94/Jun-97 (and during this lease it was also sub-lsd to Garuda Indonesia by Malaysia Airlines between Apr/Aug-95). City Bird Airlines (Belgium), Jul-97/Feb-98. Garuda Indonesia, Mar/May-98. Monarch Airlines, May/Aug-98. Saudi Arabian Airlines, Feb/Apr-99 and Monarch Airlines for 1 week in May-99. By 2013, World Airways were suffering from financial problems and the aircraft was returned to the lessor in Nov-13 and stored at Goodyear, AZ, USA. [World Airways ceased operations in Mar-14]. It is now permanently retired and was noted still stored at Goodyear without engines in Mar-14.

This 1913 structure closed on 31st October 2006, being replaced by a modern single-storey building within the same site as Inverkeithing High School.
The first recorded school buildings on this site were constructed in 1874 as a junior building. The junior building was designed by Andrew Scobie, who also designed the Bruce Street Hall, and Milesmark Primary School, both in Dunfermline, and North Queensferry Primary School.
What was latterly the main building was built in 1913 for seniors, and was designed by Glasgow architects Brydon and Robertson, who also designed Glasgow's Maternity Hospital on Rottenrow.

The International A series (or A-line) replaced the S series in April 1957. The name stood for "Anniversary", as 1957 marked the fiftieth (or Golden) anniversary of truck production by International Harvester. It was largely a rebodied version of the light and medium S-series truck, incorporating a wide cab and more integrated fenders. A modified version of this truck range was also built in Australia until 1979, where it was marketed both as an International and as a Dodge.
The new lower design necessitated a slight hump in the cabin floor. The stylish new front end, deleted running boards, and panoramic windshield brought the design more up to date for the later half of the fifties on this, the first all-new design to appear since Ted Ornas was put in charge of design in 1953. The hood was now hinged in the rear, rather than being a lift-off unit. The parking lights were mounted above the headlights. As with the R- and S-series trucks, there was a Travelall station wagon version developed from the new range. There were A-100 to A-180 series models available, with Gross Vehicle Weight ratings ranging from 4,200 to 33,000 lb (1,900 to 15,000 kg). A step-side bed remained standard, but a new flush-sided "Bonus Load" bed was an option for the first time. There was also a gold and white two-tone Golden Jubilee Custom Pickup package available, featuring some special equipment.
For 1959, the B series replaced the A series. This was the first of the series to feature V8 engines as an option, of either 304 ci or 345 ci. The usual engines were International's 'Diamond' series of inline-sixes. The B series had twin headlights, mounted above each other. The B-120 was also available with four-wheel drive. The B series was available with the same weight ratings as its predecessor, and was built until 1961 when more thorough changes took place, and the truck became known as the C series.
Sixteen BLM Wyoming Rock Springs Field Office staff worked hand-in-hand with 11 volunteers to replace almost a quarter-mile of net wire fencing with wildlife friendly buck-and-rail fencing during a National Public Lands Day event at the historic 40-acre Crookston Ranch.
The ranch is located in the Greater Sand Dunes Area of Critical Environmental Concern near the Killpecker Sand Dunes Open Play Area northeast of Rock Springs, Wyo. and eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as a representative example of Wyoming Basin homesteading era architecture. The BLM plans to preserve the historic nature of the ranch and provide interpretation on ranching history in the area.

This aircraft was delivered to SABENA Belgian World Airlines as OO-SDD in Jun-74. It was wet-leased to Spantax SA in May-87. It was re-registered EC-EEG in Jul-87 when the wet lease became a dry lease.
The aircraft was returned to SABENA as OO-SDD in Apr-88. It was leased to associate company Sobelair (Belgium) in May-91 and returned to SABENA in Oct-93.
After 26 years in service the aircraft was sold to European Aviation as G-BYRI in Sep-99. It was transferred to subsidiary company European Aviation Air Charter and re-registered G-CEAF in Jan-00.
In Jun-01 it was wet-leased to Air Europa (with Fly Europa titles) and returned to European Air Charter in Sep-01. It was sold to European Skybus Ltd (another 'European' company) in Feb-05 and leased back to European Air Charter.
The aircraft was leased to Palmair (a Bournemouth UK Travel Agency) in Apr-03 and returned when European Aviation Air Charter ceased operations in Nov-08. The aircraft was withdrawn from use and stored at Bournemouth, UK after 34 years in service.
It was broken up there in Jan-10. The forward fuselage was preserved at the DHL Flight Assembly Centre at London-Heathrow painted in full DHL livery.
Stover Country Park comprises part of the 80,000-acre estate acquired by James Templer, a Devonian entrepreneur, in the late Eighteenth Century. Templer replaced the old house, Stoford Lodge, and in 1777 built himself a large mansion house in the Palladian style which he named Stover House. He undertook a landscaping scheme to form the gardens of the house, which significantly influenced the appearance of the area. It included the construction of Stover Lake, which covers approximately 4.05 hectares (10 acres), with water originally entering from the Ventiford Brook. The works included the planting of exotic trees and shrubs and the construction of a 1.5 mile carriage drive. Also to be included in the Templers’ legacy to the area is the Stover Canal, which runs from Jetty Marsh, Newton Abbot to nearby Ventiford, and the Haytor Granite Tramway (combined they form much of the Templer Way).
boundary_stoneTwo granite boundary markers have been erected next to the inlet channel. These were originally positioned either side of the then Ashburton Turnpike at the point where the granite tramway crossed near Heathfield between 1820 and 1860. The initials H,T,W and B, cut into the granite, are abbreviations for ‘Haytor Tram Way Bounds’. The historical remains of the Stover Canal (cut in 1790-1792) can be found to the south-east of the Park starting at Ventiford, Teigngrace.
The 18 mile Templer Way from Haytor to Teignmouth passes through the Park. It follows the route of granite transported from Dartmoor to the coast. The remains of the canal and the subsequent railway also illustrate the transport of clay and other goods. For further information please select The Templer Way. There is also an associated 4.5 mile Heritage Trail James Templer’s Guide to the Heritage Trail.
carriage_drive The Stover estate remained in the Templer family until 1829 when it was sold to Edward Adolphus Seymour, the eleventh Duke of Somerset. The gatehouse (which is now a Grade II listed building) was added to the start of the carriage drive at this time. In 1842 James Veitch, the illustrious Devon plantsman and landscaper, advised the Duke of Somerset of improvements that might be made to the grounds of Stover. Among his advice was that some land still needed draining, in certain places walks and grassy glades could be introduced and some of the ‘tall, naked laurels’ cut back. He also suggested that some groups of rhododendrons be planted. Seymour maintained Stover as his principle residence in the County and it remained wholly in that family until the death of the grandson of the twelfth Duke of Somerset in 1927. However, some of the Stover estate was sold off prior to this in 1921. Since 1932 Stover House has been the location for the privately run Stover School, standing just outside the boundary of the Park.
The A-6 Intruder was designed to serve two roles: one, to replace the aging A-1 Skyraider and supplement the A-4 Skyhawk in the carrier-based strike role, and two, to give the US Navy a genuine all-weather strike aircraft. The requirement was issued in 1957, and Grumman’s A2F-1 design selected, with the first flight in 1960. In 1962, just before fleet entry in 1963, the Intruder was redesignated A-6A.
The A-6 was designed to hit targets with pinpoint accuracy in adverse weather, day or night, similar to what the USAF would later require for the F-111 Aardvark. For this reason, it was built around the Digital Integrated Attack/Navigation Equipment (DIANE), which used three radar systems to constantly update the INS and provide attack data to the bombardier/navigator sitting in the right seat. The system proved very complicated and it would be some years before it was perfected. Since the weather and night would be the Intruder’s primary defense, no internal armament equipped the aircraft, though it could carry an impressive 18,000 pound warload.
The Intruder was committed early to the Vietnam War, which showed up the flaws in the DIANE system and a more lethal one in the bomb delivery system, which had a tendency to set off the bombs prematurely, destroying the aircraft. Gradually improvements were made, and despite the loss of 84 Intruders over Vietnam, it proved to be extremely effective: until the bugs were ironed out of the F-111A in 1971, the A-6 remained the only American aircraft that could attack during the monsoon season.
Specialized A-6Bs were also produced specifically for Iron Hand defense suppression missions, and A-6Cs for anti-truck operations on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. All three variants were replaced by the A-6E beginning in 1971: this replaced DIANE with a more advanced solid-state computer and the three radars with a single AN/APQ-148 multimode radar.
A-6s would find themselves once more heavily employed during the First Gulf War, flying 4700 sorties for the loss of four aircraft; its final roles would find it supporting Marines in Somalia in 1991 and UN forces in Bosnia in 1995. By that time, surviving A-6Es had been partially upgraded to allow them to fire all newer guided weapons in the inventory (namely the AGM-84 Harpoon, AGM-65 Maverick, and AGM-88 HARM), while most of the fleet also received composite wings.
Grumman further proposed an updated version designated A-6F, with new avionics and engines, but the US Navy rejected this in favor of replacing the Intruder with first the cancelled stealthy A-12A Avenger II, then the F/A-18C/D Hornet. The last A-6E left US Navy service by Feburary 1997; the US Marine Corps had retired theirs in 1993. Older, non-modified aircraft were sunk as an artificial reef off Florida; others remain at AMARC for scrapping.
As the Navy's carrier-based electronic warfare aircraft began to age, namely the EA-1F Skyraider and the EKA-3B Skywarrior, a replacement needed to be found. Initially, the ALQ-99 electronics suite was installed in a standard A-6 Intruder airframe as the EA-6A, but the aircraft was somewhat limited and workload was heavier for a two-man crew, especially in combat. EA-6As did see combat in Vietnam with the US Marine Corps, but something better was clearly needed. The result was the lengthened EA-6B Prowler, which upgraded the electronics suite considerably and also added two more crewmembers to reduce workload and increase effectiveness. The EA-6B first flew in May 1968, and entered US Navy and Marine service in 1971. This relegated the EA-6As to mostly Reserve units until it was retired in 1993. Only 28 A models were built, and at least four are known to survive in museums.
Bureau Number 156984 was a purpose-built EA-6A rather than a conversion, and joined the Navy in 1969. Details about its service are sparse, other than it served for a time in the 1970s with VAQ-209 ("Star Warriors") at NAS Whidbey Island, Washington, was the first EA-6A to be upgraded to near EA-6B standard in the mid-1980s, and retired with VAQ-33 ("Firebirds") at NAS Key West, Florida in 1992. Apparently there was some consideration of expending it as a range target, but instead it was saved for preservation, and by 2002 it had been donated to the Mid-America Museum of Aviation and Transportation at Sioux City, Iowa.
156984 could use some restoration, as the markings have faded and rust has broken out on the airframe. It is positioned at the entrance of the Mid-America Museum. When my friend and I visited in June 2020, the museum was closed due to coronavirus, but we were able to photograph through the fence. My friend's picture is better than mine, so he allowed me to use his...

I had replace a seat belt buckle on the Tercel. Oddly you have to take the whole seat out. Took the opportunity to clean under the seat and console.
No Tercels at the scrapyard so I had to use a Toyota Echo one which worked.
Advie War Memorial
The memorial was damaged beyond repair in 2006 and replaced in 2008.
The memorial has been moved to NJ 12506 34385, the position shown above is right on the main road so perhaps it was hit by a vehicle that would fit with the damage on the original which is in the cemetery (NJ 1418 3528).
There appears to be a church hall across the road from memorial.

Tin cornicing is removed, a good deal of it is rotten, and I'm sure new ones will replace them soon.
having been replaced in the 52 weeks group this year by her super-cute (read:obnoxious) sister, alice is now a part of the 12 months for dogs group... and this is our first photo for the month of january! i am excited to meet some new dogs and photographers here, and also to catch up with some old friends from 52 weeks and beyond.
for those who don't know us, i am kelli and this is my browndog, alice. she is a lab/chow/dachshund mix who i have had from two weeks of age. she will turn four years old in 2012, which is so hard to believe. alice is an active, athletic girl and i hope to be able to include some of her activities here in our twelve month project. this photo is from our much-needed six mile hike through the frozen woods this afternoon. we sure wish we had some snow to include in our january photo, but it has been an unusually mild winter for us. maybe we will have some white stuff in february!
Replaced the old battery with a fresh new battery. Decided to mount a larger type, as the S80 has room for it.

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.
Don't forget to scroll down to see more information about the race and these photographs!
Event Management was provided by Irish Company PRECISION TIMING who provided electronic timing for both events. The results from today's events can be found on Precision Timing's website at this URL [www.precisiontiming.net/result/racetimer?v=%252Fen%252Fra...]
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!

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.

Rocky Mountain Lineman Gabe Huston replaces overhead groundwire and fiber hardware on the Miracle Mile-to-Snowy Range 115-kilovolt line, Sept. 2. The crews used the long-line helicopter method, trained on the day before, to transition from structure to structure and to carry equipment instead of the more time-consuming bucket trucks. About 25 linemen completed 10 miles of maintenance in two days using the helicopter.
Replaced the power steering return hose today. The old one shows some age.
The new oil pressure sending unit is also new and will be replacing the old one that seems to be stuck.

Effective 15 June 2022, Julián Fernández replaced Keld Mosgaard Christensen as Managing Director of APM Terminals Poti, Georgia and joined APM Terminals’ European Regional Leadership Team.
Julian Fernández - MD of APM Terminals PotiMr. Fernández became a member of APM Terminals Poti team in February 2020 in the role of Chief Financial Officer / Deputy MD and therefore has a detailed understanding of the terminal’s business, client base, and the stakeholder landscape.
“I am confident that the experience gained in my previous role, as a member of the APM Terminals Poti senior management team, will be of enormous benefit in driving further growth for the company,” says Mr. Fernández. “Ensuring the sustainable development of the company, empowering and leading people, engaging with stakeholders, as well as driving new investments and expansion plans in Poti, the region and beyond are high on my agenda,” he adds.
Mr. Fernández joined A.P. Moller - Maersk starting in 2001 as a graduate trainee. He holds an MSc in Economics and an MBA with a focus on Investments Appraisals and Valuation. After having worked in both Maersk and Damco in several countries in Europe and Latin America, in December 2011 he moved to APM Terminals Corporate Development, based in Panama. In this role his primary focus was identifying and securing new port and terminal investments in Latin America. From 2014, he became part of the Latin America regional leadership team heading up the Corporate Development activities throughout that region.
In his statement Igor Van Den Essen, Head of Terminals Europe, expressed his gratitude towards Keld Mosgaard Christensen, highlighting his exceptional leadership when the customer became the number one priority at APM Terminals Poti and this was reflected by the significant increase of the terminals NPS score – a measure of customer satisfaction. In addition, under his leadership, the APM Terminals Poti delivered numerous effective CSR projects, all of which are a testament to the company’s commitment to the communities it operates in.
Replacing damaged poles in places trucks can't go is a time-consuming and labor-intensive part of restoring service.
St Anne's Roman Catholic church, in the Chapel End / Camp Hill area of Nuneaton, was built in 1999-2000 to replace the original basic dual-purpose church/school built in the 1940s with a limited budget and lifespan. The new church was opened in March 2000, and dedicated later that year by Archbishop Vincent Nicholls.
The church is square in plan with the corners angled (forming an uneven octagon) with the orientation on the diagonal axis facing south east. There is an unfortunate inbalance in the glazing within, which is concentrated on the north and east walls, the remaining walls having the parish rooms attached. The original design included a central lantern over the nave, but this was sadly abandoned during construction owing to rising costs (this would have given the building a more 'church-like' profile outside and greater light within).
Following my work at Sacred Heart, Bilton I was invited to prepare designs for several of the church's windows prior to construction, and thus had the sanctuary oculus with the dove of the Holy Spirit installed for the first mass in the church in March 2000. In the following years the project continued for the adjoining five windows including a central image of the church's patron St Anne with her daughter Mary.
The remaining windows were filled a few years later with a Crucifixion group and a more abstract Sacrament-themed composition (in lighter colours as continuing the rich blue scheme set by the earlier windows would have made the church too dark!), making this my largest ever stained glass project and my only complete scheme of church windows to date.
In July 2012 a final touch was added when I painted the Sanctuary ceiling with a design of Seraphim and stars in blue and gold, a concept under discussion for some time to remedy the lack of structural emphasis on the altar area and create a more fitting focal point to the interior, with the angel's wings suggesting a canopy.

Situated off the main road into the city, just inside the city marked by the nearby Westgate. St Peter sits at the end of a narrow lane, and is easily overlooked or mistaken for a small church.
In fact it is a tardis of a church, once you walk in, the body of the church opens up revealing, for me, a confused history.
Pews have been removed and replaced with modern chairs, and seems to also be a thriving cafe, judging by the people who came in asking if it was open. On this day it was just open for viewing.
--------------------------------------------------
The earliest visible part of this church is the round-headed arch at the west end of the north arcade (see drawing in Smith (1971), 103 fig 3). This has Caenstone voussoirs and sits on plain rectangular piers with side-alternate Caenstone jambs, at the top of which are plain square imposts with a plain chamfer below. The masonry is diagonally tooled and must date from the first half of the 12th century.
A bit later in date is the small tower on the south-west. This was rebuilt and largely refaced externally in the early 14th century, but inside its east arch into the south aisle is similar to the north arcade arch, but is pointed and has some Reigate stone among its Caenstone quoins. The very large and long external quoins to the tower, which have been called 'Saxo-Norman' re surely a mixture of reused Roman blocks and new Ragstone long ties of the 14th century (compare the 'long and short' work on the north west quoin of the 14th century Lady Chapel).
Soon after the tower was built, probably in the early 13th century, the south door was built. This has jambs largely of Reigate stone, and on its east side a very worn capital and base indicate a missing shaft (no doubt a Purbeck marble column). The beginning of the moulded archway over the door (also in Reigate stone) can be seen on the east, but the rest of it has been restored with plain Caenstone voussoirs. Inside the original hooks for the double doors still survive.
There is a plain font of c.1200 with a square bowl of Bethersden marble at the west end of the nave. It has a 17th century cover and iron crane for lifting it.
During the 13th century, as is commonly found, a longer new chancel was built (confirmed by documentary evidence, which shows that in rental D (Urry, 209 and 304) of c. 1200, the eastern part of the area now occupied by the chancel was still in secular hands). The most obvious evidence for this is the wide lancet on the south-east side of the chancel, which shows that the south aisle was only extended eastwards at a later date. The two wide but plain arches on the north side of the chancel have chamfers with bar stops and comb-tooling which also suggests a 13th century date. The narrower western arch in the south arcade (opposite the south door) is also a plain 13th century arch.
In the early 14th century the tower and west wall of the church was rebuilt. The west wall was realigned, presumably to allow St Peter's Lane, which bifurcated immediately north of the church, more room. At the same time a new 3-light east window was built that has similar 'Decorated' tracery to the new west window. The tower has small single light early 14th century windows in its upper stage, and a probably comtemporary (but now restored) crenellated parapet. Inside the top stage of the tower is a (probably 14th century) timber bell-frame. It was heightened and enlarged for 3 bells in the early 17th century and restored in 1968 when 4 bells were hung there (including a treble, recast in 1903, from St Margaret's Church). There are still two medieval bells in the tower, one of which (the tenor) was cast by William le Belyetere in the early 14th century. The other by William Wodewarde is a bit later (c. 1400).
Also probably of the first half of the 14th century is the new, much wider, Lady Chapel on the north east. It has one original two light window on the north, but unfortunately the east window has its tracery removed and replaced with (c. early 19th century) timber Y-tracery. Between the Lady Chapel and Chancel a fire Easter Sepulcre (with cusped and sub-cusped arches over on both sides) was inserted. Some time perhaps later in the 14th century a new wide but irregularly shaped north aisle was created west of the Lady Chapel and a new crown-post roof was erected over the whole north aisle and Lady Chapel. There is a three light window with hexofoils over at the west end of the enlarged north aisle with a square hood mould externally. However, the Petrie view from the north-west of 1801 shows only a 2 light window without upper quatre-foiled lights.
Also perhaps of the first half of the 14th century, is the rebuilt south aisle which terminated in the Chapel of St John-the-Baptist (see will of 1505). The east window is of the reticulated variety while in the south wall are 2-light, 3-light and 2-light windows all under square hood-moulds. They have all been heavily restored externally in Bathstone. There is a piscina under the eastern 2-light window with a small shelf over the damaged bowl. Between this aisle and the chancel are two contemporary plain arches with simple chamfers and (now worn) brooch-stops at the base. At about the same time the old Romanesque piers were probably demolished at the east end of the nave and two very wide but plain arches were inserted instead. The crown-post roof over the new south aisle may also be 14th century, but that over the nave is perhaps 15th century. There is also a double piscina on the south-east side of the chancel with a Perpendicular head over it, and a small window at the extreme west end of the north aisle on the north side with a simple cinque-foiled head (now into the vestry).
The only late-15th century addition to the church are probably the rood-screen and loft. The extra tie-beam here is probably part of the rood loft (a door through the south pier between the nave and chancel still survives) and the doorway from the north chapel into the late 19th century parish hall beyond. This small doorway dates from c. 1500 and presumably lead originally into a comtemporary vestry.
The major restoration of the church was in 1882, when a new parish hall to the north was built, as we have seen. Much of the external parts of the windows were restored at this time in Bathstone.
BUILDING MATERIALS (Incl. old plaster, paintings, glass, tiles etc.):
The 12th century work has only Caenstone for quoins with flint, reused Roman bricks, etc, for the rubble work. By the end of the 12th century Reigate stone was being introduced, and by the later 13th century Ragstone is used, and this is the most common quoin material for the 14th century work (though Caen is still used).
The usual 19th century restoration in Bathstone, while the east wall of the church was refaced in 19th century buff brick (also the upper part of the south-east buttress). The east window has recently been refaced externally in Lepine.
Bells in tower: Treble - 1903 (S B Goslin, from St Margaret's Church), 2nd 1637 (John Palmer, Canterbury) 3rd c 1400 (William Wodewarde, London), Tenor c.1325 (William Le Belyetere, Canterbury) (rehung for chiming only 1968). Some old glass also survives.

------------------------------------------------
St Peter's church is the only one of six Canterbury medieval churches lying on the main city thoroughfare (Westgate to St George's gate) to have survived for parish worship. The others (Holy Cross, All Saints, St Mary Bredman, St Andrews and St George's) have all been removed to assist traffic flow, incorporated into new retail developments, converted to secular use or lost to enemy bombing in World War II. The position of St Peter's parish church (not to be confused with the nearby St Peter's Methodist church) is odd - set back from the highway and tucked away behind retail shops which stand directly on St Peter's Street (Image 1). This location lies on the line of the original Roman road leading from the Westgate, suggesting a possible religious use for the site from early times. The building includes examples of materials and styles reflecting 1000 years of worship here - specific examples are listed below. Specialists have not agreed on the dating of some elements, but in general terms the original 12th century tower and nave were enlarged first with a 13th century sanctuary, followed by the wide north aisle in the early 14th century and the narrower south aisle in the later 14th century. A major refurbishment in 1882 included addition of a parish hall. From 1660 until recent years, the church was used for the annual service to mark the appointment of a new mayor - hence the need for a mace holder (more below). St Peter's closed for parish worship in 1928 but Sunday services resumed in 1953. The City Centre parish currently comprises St Peter's, St Mildred's and St Dunstan's churches.
Several red Roman tiles can be spotted amongst the flint work of the slim Norman tower
Large white quoin stones mark the corners of the tower - a mix of re-used Roman blocks and added ragstone
A single round 12th century Norman arch survives under the eastern face of the tower (Image 2)
The font (Image 3) dates from around 1200, has a square bowl and is carved from Bethersden marble - the 17th century font cover is currently kept on the floor nearby but its winding mechanism (an iron crane) of a similar date remains place
The original door hooks are also in place, whilst the late 17th century mace holder currently stands, hard to spot, high on a window ledge (Image 4)
Two brass plates may be on interest. On the north wall, the memorial to William Lovelle, rector of St George's in the 1430s, provides interesting detail of ecclesiastical dress of the period (Image 5) but has had a chequered existence: rescued from St George's church after the bombing of 1942, removed to the Cathedral Library for safe keeping, remounted in St Peter's church, taken to Whitstable for a few days in January 1978 to improve its fixings, suffered minor damage in the storms and floods that month, cleaned up and returned to St Peter's. A second brass, also on the north wall, includes several French names, reminding us of Huguenot religious refugees whose descendants were buried here in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Near the high altar, note: an Easter sepulchre, a recess used to keep the host and altar crucifix during Easter time under its ogee arch (Image 6); the simple aumbry, a small cupboard used to store chalices and the sacrament (Image 7); and the less common double piscina (Image 8) used to wash hands and communion vessels
A window in the south aisle, inserted in 1904, is by Sir Ninian Comper, who incorporated a strawberry into many of his works as a tribute to his clergyman father (the latter died whist giving strawberries to poor children). Here the strawberry appears in the bottom left corner (Image 9).
The roof structures contain many examples of 14th and 15th century crown posts
The modern rood beam and figures were erected in 1922 in memory of priest-in-charge William Beam and parishioners who gave their lives in World War I
The keys of St Peter can be seen in the weather vane above the tower.
