This transverse section of an apothecium from the lichen species in the last two uploads (?Parmelia omphalodes). isn't as thin as I'd have liked, but you can see some of the arrangement of the cells.
Beneath the orange-brown hymenium lining the apothecium, there's a dense white fungal tissue with spherical green algal cells embedded in it.
Tail section of the former Lufthansa Boeing 737-230C named "Landshut" - this aircraft and its parts are stored in a hangar in Friedrichshafen Airport, Germany. The airframe shows remnants of its most recent operating life in Brazil as PT-MTB with TAF Linhas Aéreas.
It is a very significant airframe for the German nation, resulting in attempts to preserve and display it within the country over the last number of years....
Originally built in January 1970, Landshut is a Boeing 737-230C (sn 20254), registration D-ABCE, named after the city of Landshut in Bavaria. Whilst operating flight LH181 for Lufthansa from Frankfurt to Palma on 13th October 1977, D-ABCE was hijacked by 4 terrorists from the PFLP (Popular Palestine Front for Liberation). The objective of the hijacking was to secure the release of imprisoned Red Army Faction leaders. While under the control of the hijackers, the plane travelled 10,000 kilometres (6,200 mi) stopping in Rome, Larnaca, Bahrain, Dubai, Aden and finally Mogadishu, Somalia. On 18th October the aircraft was stormed in Mogadishu by the West German counter-terrorism group GSG 9. All 87 passengers and 4 crew were rescued, however the Captain was murdered by the hijackers earlier in the ordeal, during the stop in Aden.
The hijacking was one element of the German Autumn or "Deutscher Herbst", which refers to the period and political atmosphere in West Germany during September and October 1977. This period was marked by a series of attacks by the terrorist organization Red Army Faction (RAF). It included the kidnapping and murder of German industrialist Hanns Martin Schleyer, the hijacking of this Lufthansa plane "Landshut" and the suicides of the imprisoned leading members of the first generation of the Red Army Faction (RAF). These events represented the final act of the RAF's so-called "Offensive 77". The German Autumn is considered one of the most serious crises in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany). The German government's stance during the hijacking demonstrated its new resolve to never negotiate with terrorists.
After the hijacking, the damaged aircraft was ferried back to Germany, repaired, and returned to service in late November 1977. It continued to fly for Lufthansa until September 1985 and was sold three months later to US carrier Presidential Airways. It subsequently changed hands several times. The plane ultimately ended up in the fleet of Brazilian carrier TAF Linhas Aéreas, who purchased it from Transmile Air Services of Kuala Lumpur. The Brazilian company subsequently went bankrupt. TAF stopped service of the aircraft under registration PT-MTB in January 2008, owing to severe damage that made it unairworthy. It was placed in storage in Fortaleza Airport, Brazil.

Sections of box girder deck being stored at Rosyth Docks. The steel boxes have/will have concrete cast to form the deck. They're due to start being lifted into place in earnest late summer, I think. Photo hastily taken through the coach window on my phone.
Morrison Construction hosted an 'Open Doors Day' tour of the construction site of the new "Queensferry Crossing". We were given fascinating insights as well as a bus tour of both the storage yard at Rosyth Docks and the southern approach viaduct.

Magnificent dusk display as Red Section - two Spitfires and a Hurricane - finally made it to RAF Northolt just before sunset on Thursday September 17 2015 having been thwarted by the weather on the previous two days following the mass 'Battle of Britain 75' take-off from Goodwood on the Tuesday. We were treated to a number of low passes by the three aircraft in close formation and then a truly memorable long solo aerobatic performance by a single Spitfire (after his two colleagues had landed)...as some of the last of The Few watched from the airfield before a Battle of Britain 75th Anniversary Gala Dinner with the Duke of Kent. It was all but dark when the trio arrived at 6:50pm so my photos are not the best. But happy to get anything at all in the circumstances. A sight and sound I will never forget.
