Another truck at the Wapato Showdown.. I'm not sure if it was there as an entry for the show or as a safety precaution.. No Matter, it was a nice looking truck... Happy Truck Thursday, Everybody!!!!!!
Bei meinen Fotobesuchen für mein Buchprojekt war es immer wieder spannend, die zahlreichen Maskottchen zu sehen, die in den Fahrzeugen mitfahren. Hier sieht es so aus, als wolle das Krümelmonster aber endlich mal raus.
during the writing of my book I visited lots of fire stations and was always impressed by the mascots that were sitting behind the windshields. But here with this Humvee, it looks like the cookie monster is screaming to being let out of the car for a moment.
Muddy and dusty utility truck parked behind osme two other much cleaner cars on the street. A sunny spring day in Adelaide.
As I type this, the weather outside is bright and hot, and full of allergens. I am sniffling away with itchy eyes indoors. Ah, the joys of spring.

At sunset on the Winter Solstice, a small group of intrepid adventurers gather to witness a celestial miracle.
They wait for the last rays of the setting sun to illuminate the face of the angel atop the tree. Over the next three nights, more of that angel will appear until she is revealed in her entirety on Christmas Eve.
It was some twenty-two months ago that our adventurers set out on their journey. At that time, we had no idea where they might end up or indeed, what it was they were searching for. We last saw them as they negotiated an icy canyon. We can only wonder what hardships, what dangers they have faced since that time. We can only admire the perseverance needed to reach this place.
May the spirit of the season fill you with joy, whatever it is you are celebrating.
OK, now that all the Currier and Ives schmaltz is completed, while all the tourists are focused on the light on the angel's face, not one of them stops to wonder how they power the lights on the tree. There is not an electrical outlet for miles and no sign of a generator.

Land Rover Owner International Show at the East of England Arena, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom. Saturday 15th September 2018.
About the photograph.
This is a Land Rover Series IIB Forward Control. For more details about the vehicles, see section titled About the overall subject below.
Here, this Series IIB FC is outfitted to serve as a fire engine, most likely to be an airport fire engine, rather than a general fire brigade one. This is just a guess based on the reason it’s painted in white rather than red.
I don’t have an in-depth information about this very vehicle, I’ve no idea who owns this, when did it first enter services, and so on.
Here, this white Series IIB FC fire engine is seen parading around the muddy truck, around the arena, for spectators to see.
About the overall subject.
Land Rover Series IIB Forward Control.
With special thanks to @DanielWarden for pointing out to me that this is a Series IIB FC, not as I mistakenly thought, a 101 FC.
In the beginning, the Series IIA Forward Control is basically a Land Rover Series IIA 109 wheelbase 4x4 car.
They simply remove the body and the cockpit, leaving generally the engine and chassis, then fit a cab over the engine in order to give more space behind the cab, thus giving the illustration that they turned the car into a truck.
Point of note: While the cab is positioned above the engine, the steering wheel is positioned slightly ahead of the front wheels, hence the term Forward Control.
It was first launched in 1962, with a 2.25-litre petrol engine, and 109 in wheelbase. About up to 2500 were made, most have a utility body, but a lot of them had customised bodywork done.
Later on in 1966, they made the Series IIB Forward Control, with a 2.25-litre diesel engine as an option. Heavy modifications were done to the model, to improve it, including increasing the wheelbase to 110” and production finally ended in 1974
Land Rover Owner International Show.
Land Rover Owner, often abbreviated as LRO, is a British monthly magazine for Land Rover enthusiasts, published by a company based in Peterborough. The full title is often Land Rover Owner International.
It first started in July 1987 by a group of East Anglian businessmen, and was a mainly black and white 40 pages magazine. By the mid-1990s, it was bought by a publishing group, and became one of the popular Land Rover magazines.
The Land Rover Owner International Show is a yearly event ran by the magazine, and usually during the weekend in September. It features many various Land Rover vehicles on display, and includes an action arena for Land Rover drivers to display their driving skills.

Pentax 17 with Santacolor 100 film.
This is a 1958-1960 Ford C-700, photographed by me in Grass Valley, Oregon. The Ford C-Series cab over engine trucks were produced from 1957 to 1990. During its long 34 year lifespan the only real styling changes included the addition of quad headlamps from 1958-1960, the addition of side marker reflectors from the Ford F-Series pickups in 1968 and a logo update. These rigs originally had the crown shaped lightning bolt logo found on 1950's Ford trucks, that logo was eliminated after 1974 and the Ford blue oval logo was finally added to the cab in 1984. Quad headlamps continued to be offered as an option after 1960 but only on C-Series trucks sold as fire apparatus or other emergency vehicles.

Wartime in the Vale 2022 event. Ashdown Camp, at Ashdown Farm, off Badsey Road, Evesham, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 25th of June 2022.
About this photograph.
Those are former British Army Land Rover 101 Forward Control.
The photograph of those two 101FC trucks was captured at a re-enactment event called Wartime in the Vale near Evesham. They were on display along with many other former military vehicles of various eras, from WWII to the Cold War.
The Forward Control was a light utility vehicle manufactured by Land Rover for the British Army, and was not for civilians. The only way for civilians to buy them was to buy ex-army ones from military surplus whenever the 101FC were retired from the services.
In the 1960s, the British Army requested a new gun tractor designed to tow a large field gun, specially a howitzer, with plenty of space for a ton of ammunition and other equipment. It needs to be designed to have the engine underside or thereabouts, in order to eliminate the bonnet at the front, thus reducing unused space in transport aircraft.
Development of the 101FC started around 1967, with a team led by Norman Busby, and production started in 1972.
The engine is built under the cab, and slightly to the rear, hence the name of Forward Control. Many of them were designed with a soft top, but later some models were rebuilt with hard top, and serves as ambulances or other roles.
Production lasted until about 1978, and by the late 1990s they were being replaced with the Pinzgauer family of high mobility utility vehicles.
About 30 of the 101FC were converted into a futuristic taxi for the 1995 sci-fi movie called Judge Dredd, starring Sylvester Stallone. Some are still in driveable condition and can be seen at Land Rover events.
About the event.
Wartime in the Vale is an annual re-enactment event, held at the former Second World War camp, next to the town of Evesham, during the summer. The event is organised by the Military Vehicle Trust – South Midlands Area.
The event is held during the weekend, and believed to have at least more than 500 military vehicles of various eras, but mostly of First and Second World Wars, on display as well as re-enactment events in the main arena, including blank firing of weapons. They even have a flypast over the area.
The Ashdown Camp is a 40 acres site, with some old WWII era buildings, mainly huts, located near the Ashdown Farm, just to the east of Evesham.

We were on a cruise when Hurricane Dorian intensified. As a result, instead of going to Nassau, we went to Cozumel. Carnival Cruise Line extended the cruise for three days at no extra charge.
Driving home from Port Canaveral to Virginia, we actually drove into the hurricane. Because of the strong wind and rain, we stopped in Florence, SC. We were lucky enough to find a hotel.
Across from our hotel, was a staging area for utility trucks waiting to be sent to areas needing electricity restored.
Silverton:
The first indication of silver–lead mineralisation in the Barrier Rangers came in late 1875 with the discovery of galena by Julius Charles Nickel and Dan McLean while they were well sinking on Thackaringa Station, near the South Australian - New South Wales border.
In 1879 John Stokie established a store at Umberumberka, 19 km north of Thackaringa. He continued prospecting and discovered silver–lead veins nearby, which he pegged with Edward Pegler in November 1881. A 100 ton parcel of ore was shipped to England for a 40% profit. The following October the Umberumberka Silver Lead Mining Company Ltd was floated with nominal capital of £20 000. Umberumberka was the second area of silver–lead mineralisation discovered in the Barrier Ranges and the new company was the first to be publicly floated. The town of Silverton soon developed close to the mine and became the main settlement of the growing silver field.
Silverton was surveyed in 1883, by which time Australia had a population of 2, 250, 194. By September that year, the population of Silverton was 250, and by December 1883 it had doubled. That year the Day Dream Mine opened and attracted an additional population of 400 - 500 people. In 1884 1,222 mineral leases, 937 business permits and 114 miners' rights were issued. That same year 6,000 tonnes of ore were extracted and the town acquired its own newspaper, the Silver Age.
By 1885 - 1886 the town's population had reached 3,000. Silverton was proclaimed a township in 1885 and a municipality the following year. In 1885 a short-lived smelter was established at Day Dream Mine, operating for only a year. In 1892 the Umberumberka Mine closed, followed by the Day Dream Mine. The Pioneer Mine at Thackaringa closed in 1897. By 1901, after miners had moved to the richer fields at Broken Hill, the town went into decline and only 286 people remained. Today the town has a population of around 50 people, most of whom work in tourism.
The Silverton Tramway Company:
The Silverton Tramway Company, a rare private railway of 50klms in length, was incorporated in New South Wales October 14, 1886 and the line was completed and opened for traffic on January 12, 1888. One of only two privately owned railways in the state, the tramway was originally founded to transport ore from local mines in the Broken Hill and Silverton region into South Australia. The company soon branched out, not only carrying ore from the mines but freighted other goods and offered a passenger service which accounted for a third of their business.
The company serviced travellers on long trips heading interstate to Semaphore (Adelaide) to the Largs Bay Holiday Camp and excursions for local community groups often conveying passengers to Silverton and McCulloch Park (at Stephens Creek) for the day and returning to Broken Hill in the afternoon. When traveling to South Australia the train would travel from Broken Hill, through Silverton and then to Burns which is on the New South Wales side of the border of Cockburn (a town divided by the NSW/SA border).
In 1927 the New South Wales government completed the railway from Sydney to Broken Hill, thus joining the Silverton Tramway and completing the link from Sydney to Adelaide. It played a strategic role in the trans-Australia network until 1970, when it was surpassed by the New South Wales Government Railways (Indian-Pacific). From 1888-1970 it was critical to the economic functioning of Broken Hill, by providing the key transport of ore to the Port Pirie smelters. It played a significant role in the politics and recreation of Broken Hill, and a crucial role at times of water shortage in Broken Hill.
Today, Silverton resides in the Unincorporated Area of New South Wales (NSW) and so does not feature a City Council. It is run by the Silverton Village Committee, who to this day hold their quarterly meetings in the Silverton Municipal Chambers.

Wartime in the Vale at Ashdown Camp, Ashdown Farm, off Badsey Road, Evesham, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 23rd June 2012.
About the photograph.
This is a former British Army Land Rover 101 Forward Control. It was in the British Army between 1970s to 1990s, unfortunately I don’t have much details about this specific model.
This one, registered SWP 336P is painted in green colours with camouflaged canopy, which would imply it was used in Europe or similar locations. The boxes in the back are either old ex-military surplus ammo boxes, or most likely to be not actual military boxes, and simply made by the owner as part of the show.
After its services in the military, it had been bought by a private collector, and attend re-enactment events and show anywhere around the United Kingdom.
It was on display at a re-enactment event called Wartime in the Vale, at Ashdown Camp, not very far from Evesham.
I simply took the photograph of it, but did not take down any details about it, as I was only there on a day-out with my kid, not on a photography task.
About the overall subject.
Land Rover 101 Forward Control.
The 101FC was a British light utility vehicle manufactured by Land Rover in the UK for the British Army.
The British Army had a requirement for a gun tractor to tow field guns with a ton of ammunition in the back, hence it is sometimes called Land Rover One Tonne. The requirement also requests a large rear space for other equipment, and that it should be capable of being transported by aircraft.
It started development in 1967 by a design team, led by Norman Busby. Production started in 1972 at Land Rover’s Lode Lane plant in Solihull, and continued until around 1978.
The name 101 Forward Control came from the truck’s 101 inch wheelbase, and because the position of the driver was slightly in front of the front wheels, as well as being above the front wheels.
The Australian Army also acquired at least 50 of those vehicles.
After services in the army, many of them ended up in private ownership, and there are clubs supporting the fans of 101FC. Most of those 101FC are often displayed at Land Rover events or at military re-enactment events.
Some 101FC were converted into futuristic taxis seen in the 1995 Sylvester Stallone movie called Judge Dredd.
Wartime in the Vale.
Wartime in the Vale is an annual living history re-enactment event held during the summer, at the former Second World War camp known as Ashdown Camp.
It is organised by the Military Vehicle Trust – South Midlands Area.
The event is held during the weekend, usually in June. It is believed to have at least more than 500 military vehicles of various eras, but mostly of First and Second World Wars, on display as well as re-enactment events in the main arena, including blank firing of weapons. They sometimes have a flypast over the area, if possible. They also have fairs and stalls selling memorabilia, even in some cases, live music.
The Ashdown Camp is a 40 acres site, with some old WWII era buildings, mainly huts, located near Ashdown Farm, just to the east of Evesham.
