New belt - New session - Day 1

After verifying that none of the 16 000 angry truck drivers were

blockading the road to Tiwanaku, we set out for a very fun day at the

ruins!

 

We grabbed a city bus/van to the cemetery district and then got into

another minivan heading to Tiwanaku. After waiting around for a while,

we set off, driving out of the city through the neighbouring

municipality of El Alto and then through the stunning Altiplano with

views of snowy mountains above the city. We chatted with a couple of

English people, also spending the day at the ruins. It never takes long

for people to think that the gulf islands are one of the weirdest places

they've ever heard of.

 

We hopped out of the van outside the ruins and bought some cookies for a

snack before entering the main site. It was almost deserted and

absolutely spectacular. We started by exploring Akapana, a large pyramid

made mainly from earth that was thought to have been the centre of the

city. Then we visited the semi-subterranean temple with carving of faces

jutting out from the walls. They are thought to represent the gods of

the cultures conquered by the Tiwanaku. Then, we spent a long time

oohing and awing over the incredible architecture of Kalasasaya, the

sacred centre of the city. The stone work was incredible, and it's

especially amazing in a culture without iron tools. There were ornate

doorways and statues, and a very sophisticated aqueduct system. We also

saw a huge mud alter that's still used for Aymara ceremonies at the

site. Our last stop in the main complex was Putini, which is thought to

be a burial ground. By this time, buses full of tourists were arriving,

but we managed to avoid them as they started to explore the site.

 

Next, we visited the Museo Litico which houses many of the statues

uncovered during the excavations of Tiwanaku. They were all incredible;

the Pachamama (or Mother Earth) statue was 7.3 meters tall and covered

from head to toe in details carvings. The style of lots of the statues

resembles totem poles, so that was a cool link between distant cultures.

 

It was past noon by now, so we decided to venture into the town of

Tiwanaku to find a cheap place to eat. After a delicious meal of soup

and rice, we found a store selling treats to the hoards of

turquoise-sweater-wearing school kids. We bought ice cream and then

headed towards the second complex of ruins: Puma Punku. We were the only

ones there for most of the time and it was magical. There was some

impressive stonework and it was super cool to walk around the earth

pyramid and see it from all angles.

 

Finally, we visited the ceramics museum, which was very busy with tour

groups. It was still cool though, to see the pottery and a few textiles

that had been used in the site.

 

Tired after such a fun day, we got on another mini-bus and headed back

to La Paz.

The history of roses in the People's Garden

The People's Garden, located between the Imperial Palace and the ring road is famous for its beautiful roses:

1000 standard roses

4000 Floribunda,

300 rambling roses,

(Also called Rose Park) 200 shrub roses.

Noteworthy is the diversity: there are about 400 varieties, including very old plants:

1859 - Rubens

1913 - Pearl of the Vienna Woods

1919 - Jean C.N. Forestier

The above amounts are from the Federal Gardens. My own count has brought other results:

730 tree roses

2300 Floribunda

132 rambling roses

100 shrub roses

That's about 3300 roses in total. Approx. 270 species I was able to verify. Approx. 50 rose bushes were not labeled. Some varieties come very often, others only once or twice.

Molineux 1994

Rubens 1859

Medialis 1993

Swan lake 1968

Once flourished here Lilac and Rhododendron bushes

1823 People's Garden was opened with the Temple of Theseus. Then made ​​multiple extensions.

The part of today's "Rosarium" along the Ring Road was built in 1862. (Picture fence 1874)

What is so obvious to today's Vienna, was not always so: most of the beds in the People's Garden originally were planted with lilac and rhododendron.

Only after the second World War II it was converted to the present generous rose jewelry.

Since then grow along the ring side creepers, high stem and floribunda roses. On the side of Heroes Square, with the outputs, shrub roses were placed, among which there are also some wild roses.

1889 emerged the Grillparzer Monument.

Classifications of roses

(Wild roses have 7 sheets - prize roses 5 sheets)

English Rose

Florybunda

Hybrid Tea Rose

Rambling Rose

At the Roses in the People´s Garden are hanging labels (if they do not fall victim to vandals or for souvenirs) with the year indication of breeding, the name of breeding and botanical description:

Hybrid Tea Rose (TB): 1 master, 1 flower;

Florybunda (Flb): 1 strain, many flowers;

English Rose (Engl): mixture of old and modern varieties Tb and Flb.

Called Schlingrose, also climbing rose

Florybunda: 1 strain, many flowers (Donauprinzessin)

Shrub Roses - Floribunda - Tree roses - Climbing Roses

Even as a child, we hear the tale of Sleeping Beauty, but roses have no thorns, but spines. Thorns are fused directly to the root and can not be easily removed as spines (upper wooden containers called).

All roses belong to the bush family (in contrast to perennials that "disappear" in the winter). Nevertheless, there is the term Shrub Rose: It's a chronological classification of roses that were on the market before 1867. They are very often planted as a soloist in a garden, which them has brought the name "Rose Park".

Hybrid Tea Rose: 1 master, 1 flower (rose Gaujard )

Other classifications are:

(High) standard roses: roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain strain level. With that, the rose gardener sets the height of the crown.

Floribunda roses : the compact and low bushy roses are ideal for group planting on beds

Crambling roses: They have neither roots nor can they stick up squirm. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent into each other

English Rose: mixture of old varieties, hybrid tea and Florybunda (Tradescanth)

4000 Floribunda

Floribunda roses are hardy, grow compact, knee-high and bushy, are durable and sturdy

There are few smelling varieties

Polyantha classification: a tribe, many small flowers; Florybunda: a tribe, many big blossoms

New concept of color: from red to light yellow

The thousands Floribunda opposite of Grillparzer Monument shimmer (still) in many colors. From historical records, however, is indicated that there was originally a different color scheme for the Floribunda than today: At the entrance of the Burgtheater side the roses were dark and were up to Grillparzer monument ever brighter - there they were then already white.

This color range they want again, somewhat modified, resume with new plantings: No white roses in front of the monument, but bright yellow, so that Grillparzer monument can better stand out. It has already begun, there was heavy frost damage during the winter 2011/12.

Colorful roses

2011: white and pink roses

2012: after winter damage new plantings in shades of yellow .

Because the domestic rose production is not large enough, the new, yellow roses were ordered in Germany (Castor).

Watering

Waterinr of the Floribunda in the morning at 11 clock

What roses do not like at all, and what attracts pests really magically, the foliage is wet. Therefore, the Floribunda roses are in the People's Garde poured in the morning at 11 clock, so that the leaves can dry thoroughly.

Ground sprinklers pouring only the root crown, can not be used because the associated hoses should be buried in the earth, and that in turn collide with the Erdanhäufung (amassing of earth) that is made for winter protection. Choosing the right time to do it, it requires a lot of sense. Is it too early, so still too warm, the bed roses begin to drive again, but this young shoots freeze later, inevitably, because they are too thin.

1000 Tree roses

Most standard roses are found in the rose garden.

During the renovation of the Temple of Theseus the asphalt was renewed in 2011, which was partially only a few centimeters thick, and so was the danger that trucks with heavy transports break into. Due to this construction site the entire flower bed in front had to be replaced.

Now the high-stem Rose Maria Theresia is a nice contrast to the white temple, at her feet sits the self-cleaning floribunda aspirin. Self-cleaning means that withered flowers fall off and rarely maintenance care is needed.

Pink 'Maria Theresa' and white 'aspirin' before the temple of Theseus

Standard tree rose Maria Theresa

Floribunda aspirin

The concept of the (high) standard roses refers to a special type of rose decoration. Suitable varieties of roses are not grafted near the ground, but at a certain height of the trunk. With that the rose gardener sets the height of the crown fixed (60 cm, 90 cm, 140 cm)

Plantings - Pests - Winter Care

Normally about 50 roses in the People's Garden annually have to be replaced because of winter damages and senility. Till a high standard rose goes on sale, it is at least 4 years old. With replantings the soil to 50 cm depth is completely replaced (2/3 basic soil, 1/3 compost and some peat ).

Roses have enemies, such as aphids. Against them the Pirimor is used, against the Buchsbaumzünsler (Box Tree Moth, Cydalima perspectalis) Calypso (yet - a resistance is expected).

In popular garden roses are sprayed with poison, not only when needed, but also as a precaution, since mildew and fire rose (both are types of fungi) also overwinter.

Therefore it is also removed as far as possible with the standard roses before packing in winter the foliage.

Pest Control with Poison

The "Winter Package " first is made with paper bags, jute bags, then it will be pulled (eg cocoa or coffee sacks - the commercially available yard goods has not proven).

They are stored in the vault of the gardener deposit in the Burggarten (below the Palm House). There namely also run the heating pipes. Put above them, the bags after the winter can be properly dried.

Are during the winter the mice nesting into the packaged roses, has this consequences for the crows want to approach the small rodents and are getting the packaging tatty. It alreay has happened that 500 standard roses had to be re-wrapped.

300 ambling roses

The Schlingrosen (Climbing Roses) sit "as a framing" behind the standard roses.

Although climbing roses are the fastest growing roses, they get along with very little garden space.

They have no rootlets as the evergreen ivy, nor can they wind up like a honeysuckle. Their only auxiliary tool are their spines with which they are entangled in their ascent mesh.

Climbing roses can reach stature heights of 2 to 3 meters.

4 x/year fertilizing

4 times a year, the soil is fertilized. From August, but no more, because everything then still new drives would freeze to death in winter. Well-rotted horse manure as fertilizer was used (straw mixed with horse manure, 4 years old). It smelled terrible, but only for 2 days.

Since the City of Vienna may only invest more plant compost heap (the EU Directive prohibits animal compost heap on public property), this type of fertilization is no longer possible to the chagrin of gardeners, and roses.

In the people garden in addition is foliar fertilizer used (it is sprayed directly on the leaves and absorbed about this from the plant).

Finishes in the Augarten

Old rose varieties are no longer commercially available. Maybe because they are more sensitive, vulnerable. Thus, the bud of Dr. F. Debat already not open anymore, if it has rained twice.

 

Roses need to be replaced in the People's Garden, this is sometimes done through an exchange with the Augarten Palace or the nursery, where the finishes are made. Previously there were roses in Hirschstetten and the Danube Park, but the City of Vienna has abandoned its local rose population (not to say destroyed), no exchange with these institutions is possible anymore.

Was formerly in breeding the trend to large flowers, one tends to smell roses again today. Most varieties show their resplendent, lush flowers only once, early in the rose-year, but modern varieties are more often blooming.

200 shrub roses

Some shrub roses bloom in the rose garden next to the Grillparzer Monument

Most of the shrub or park roses can be found along the fence to Heroes' Square. These types are so old, and there are now so many variations that even a species of rose connoisseurs assignment is no longer possible in many cases.

The showy, white, instensiv fragrant wild rose with its large umbels near des Triton Fountain is called Snow White.

Shrub roses are actually "Old Garden Roses" or "old roses", what a time

classification of roses is that were on the market before 1867.

Shrub roses are also called park roses because they are often planted as a soloist in a park/garden.

They grow shrubby, reaching heights up to 2 meters and usually bloom only 1 x per year.

The Renner- Rose

The most famous bush rose sits at the exit to Ballhausplatz before the presidential office.

It is named after the former Austrian President Dr. Karl Renner

When you enter, coming from the Ballhausplatz, the Viennese folk garden of particular note is a large rose bush, which is in full bloom in June.

Before that, there is a panel that indicates that the rose is named after Karl Renner, founder of the First and Second Republic. The history of the rose is a bit of an adventure. President Dr. Karl Renner was born on 14 in December 1870 in the Czech village of Untertannowitz as the last of 18 children of a poor family.

Renner output rose at Ballhausplatz

He grew up there in a small house, in the garden, a rose bush was planted.

In summer 1999, the then Director of the Austrian Federal Gardens, Peter Fischer Colbrie was noted that Karl Renner's birthplace in Untertannowitz - Dolni Dunajovice today - and probably would be demolished and the old rosebush as well fall victim to the demolition.

High haste was needed, as has already been started with the removal of the house.

Misleading inscription " reconstruction"?

The Federal Gardens director immediately went to a Rose Experts on the way to Dolni Dunajovice and discovered "as only bright spot in this dismal property the at the back entrance of the house situated, large and healthy, then already more than 80 year old rose bush".

After consultation with the local authorities Peter Fischer Colbrie received approval, to let the magnificent rose bush dig-out and transport to Vienna.

Renner Rose is almost 100 years old

A place had been found in the Viennese People´s Garden, diagonal vis-à-vis the office where the president Renner one resided. On the same day, the 17th August 1999 the rosebush was there planted and in the following spring it sprouted already with flowers.

In June 2000, by the then Minister of Agriculture Molterer and by the then Mayor Zilk was a plaque unveiled that describes the origin of the rose in a few words. Meanwhile, the "Renner-Rose" is far more than a hundred years old and is enjoying good health.

[ENG] The church was three naves, a transept and a main header formed polygonal apse and two pairs of square side chapels. The central apse is of great monuments Externally it shows his polygonal plant with buttresses scarped in the vertexes and large windows with round arch in his faces. In the central panel lighting was reinforced by an oculus concentric threads and communiqué with the interior by means of a sheet of translucent alabaster. Inside, the apse shows the vain and said oculus and ribbed vault whose ribs rest on columns attached to the wall. In the naves, the surviving arches are pointed and vaults, quadripartite ribbed classic. The large windows that have stayed show Romanesque workmanships round arches on column pairs. It appreciates that the temple, some centuries later, was re-dressed partially in classical adornments, since we can verify in some pilasters with capitals with fantastic acanthuses, large statues of an angel and grotesque. Since in so many other cases, the necessary abandon of the monks in the fourth decade of the 19th century was lethal for the temple, the peoples of the zone pull out tiles and other materials provoking dampness and debilitating the structure until most of the vaults collapsed. For fortune, the correspondents have been kept in good condition to the southern nave and the southern arm of the transepto. (Source: www.arteguias.com)

 

The Monastery of Piedra (Stone) (Nuévalos, Saragossa, Aragon, Spain) was founded in 1194 by thirteen Cistercian monks come from Poblet's Monastery, in the former castle of Piedra Vieja (Old Stone) and and next to the Piedra river. It was dedicated to St. Mary of the White and it was catalogued as National Monument on February 16, 1983. His construction respond to three styles: Gothic primitive (13th century), Renaissance (16th century) and Baroque (18th century). .

[ESP] La iglesia era de tres naves, transepto y cabecera formada por un ábside principal de planta poligonal y dos parejas de capillas laterales cuadradas. El ábside central es de gran monumentalidad. Exteriormente muestra su planta poligonal con contrafuertes escarpados en los vértices y ventanales con arco de medio punto en sus caras. En el lienzo central la iluminación se reforzó mediante un óculo de roscas concéntricas y comunicado con el interior mediante una lámina de alabastro translúcido. La cornisa se apoya en una corona de canecillos de perfil de nacela. En el interior, este ábside muestra los vanos y el óculo citado y su bóveda de crucería, cuyos nervios reposan sobre columnas adosadas al muro. En las naves, los arcos supervivientes son apuntados y las bóvedas, de crucería clásica cuatripartita. Los ventanales que han quedado muestran hechuras románicas mediante arcos de medio punto sobre parejas de columnas. Se aprecia que el templo, siglos después, fue revestido parcialmente de adornos clasicistas, como podemos comprobar en algunas pilastras encapiteladas con fantásticos acantos, angelotes y grutescos. Como en tantos otros casos, el abandono forzoso de los monjes en la cuarta década del siglo XIX fue letal para el templo, las gentes de la zona arrancaron tejas y otros materiales provocando humedades y debilitando la estructura hasta que la mayor parte de las bóvedas se desplomaron. Por fortuna, se han mantenido en buen estado las correspondientes a la nave meridional y el brazo meridional del transepto. (Fuente: www.arteguias.com)

 

El Monasterio de Piedra (Nuévalos, Zaragoza, Aragón, España) fue fundado en 1194 por trece monjes cistercienses venidos del Monasterio de Poblet, en el antiguo castillo de Piedra Vieja y junto al río Piedra. Fue dedicado a Santa María de la Blanca y se catalogó como Monumento Nacional el 16 de febrero de 1983. Su construcción responde a tres estilos: Gótico primitivo (siglo XIII), Renacentista (siglo XVI) y Barroca (siglo XVIII).

I left my My-Steel belt in the UK so this is a cheap replacement.

 

Unfortunately it's pretty secure!

After verifying that none of the 16 000 angry truck drivers were

blockading the road to Tiwanaku, we set out for a very fun day at the ruins!

 

We grabbed a city bus/van to the cemetery district and then got into

another minivan heading to Tiwanaku. After waiting around for a while,

we set off, driving out of the city through the neighbouring

municipality of El Alto and then through the stunning Altiplano with

views of snowy mountains above the city. We chatted with a couple of

English people, also spending the day at the ruins. It never takes long

for people to think that the gulf islands are one of the weirdest places

they've ever heard of.

 

We hopped out of the van outside the ruins and bought some cookies for a

snack before entering the main site. It was almost deserted and

absolutely spectacular. We started by exploring Akapana, a large pyramid

made mainly from earth that was thought to have been the centre of the

city. Then we visited the semi-subterranean temple with carving of faces

jutting out from the walls. They are thought to represent the gods of

the cultures conquered by the Tiwanaku. Then, we spent a long time

oohing and awing over the incredible architecture of Kalasasaya, the

sacred centre of the city. The stone work was incredible, and it's

especially amazing in a culture without iron tools. There were ornate

doorways and statues, and a very sophisticated aqueduct system. We also

saw a huge mud alter that's still used for Aymara ceremonies at the

site. Our last stop in the main complex was Putini, which is thought to

be a burial ground. By this time, buses full of tourists were arriving,

but we managed to avoid them as they started to explore the site.

 

Next, we visited the Museo Litico which houses many of the statues

uncovered during the excavations of Tiwanaku. They were all incredible;

the Pachamama (or Mother Earth) statue was 7.3 meters tall and covered

from head to toe in details carvings. The style of lots of the statues

resembles totem poles, so that was a cool link between distant cultures.

 

It was past noon by now, so we decided to venture into the town of

Tiwanaku to find a cheap place to eat. After a delicious meal of soup

and rice, we found a store selling treats to the hoards of

turquoise-sweater-wearing school kids. We bought ice cream and then

headed towards the second complex of ruins: Puma Punku. We were the only

ones there for most of the time and it was magical. There was some

impressive stonework and it was super cool to walk around the earth

pyramid and see it from all angles.

 

Finally, we visited the ceramics museum, which was very busy with tour

groups. It was still cool though, to see the pottery and a few textiles

that had been used in the site.

 

Tired after such a fun day, we got on another mini-bus and headed back

to La Paz.

they've ever heard of.

 

We hopped out of the van outside the ruins and bought some cookies for a

snack before entering the main site. It was almost deserted and

absolutely spectacular. We started by exploring Akapana, a large pyramid

made mainly from earth that was thought to have been the centre of the

city. Then we visited the semi-subterranean temple with carving of faces

jutting out from the walls. They are thought to represent the gods of

the cultures conquered by the Tiwanaku. Then, we spent a long time

oohing and awing over the incredible architecture of Kalasasaya, the

sacred centre of the city. The stone work was incredible, and it's

especially amazing in a culture without iron tools. There were ornate

doorways and statues, and a very sophisticated aqueduct system. We also

saw a huge mud alter that's still used for Aymara ceremonies at the

site. Our last stop in the main complex was Putini, which is thought to

be a burial ground. By this time, buses full of tourists were arriving,

but we managed to avoid them as they started to explore the site.

 

Next, we visited the Museo Litico which houses many of the statues

uncovered during the excavations of Tiwanaku. They were all incredible;

the Pachamama (or Mother Earth) statue was 7.3 meters tall and covered

from head to toe in details carvings. The style of lots of the statues

resembles totem poles, so that was a cool link between distant cultures.

 

It was past noon by now, so we decided to venture into the town of

Tiwanaku to find a cheap place to eat. After a delicious meal of soup

and rice, we found a store selling treats to the hoards of

turquoise-sweater-wearing school kids. We bought ice cream and then

headed towards the second complex of ruins: Puma Punku. We were the only

ones there for most of the time and it was magical. There was some

impressive stonework and it was super cool to walk around the earth

pyramid and see it from all angles.

 

Finally, we visited the ceramics museum, which was very busy with tour

groups. It was still cool though, to see the pottery and a few textiles

that had been used in the site.

 

Tired after such a fun day, we got on another mini-bus and headed back

to La Paz.

After verifying that none of the 16 000 angry truck drivers were

blockading the road to Tiwanaku, we set out for a very fun day at the ruins!

 

We grabbed a city bus/van to the cemetery district and then got into

another minivan heading to Tiwanaku. After waiting around for a while,

we set off, driving out of the city through the neighbouring

municipality of El Alto and then through the stunning Altiplano with

views of snowy mountains above the city. We chatted with a couple of

English people, also spending the day at the ruins. It never takes long

for people to think that the gulf islands are one of the weirdest places

they've ever heard of.

Will BBC Verify call Labour out for their lies? Don’t hold your breath

The licence fee funded fact checkers seem much more interested in witch hunting in Nigeria than in Rachel Reeves’s Budget

 

In a blizzard of claim and counterclaim, thank goodness for brilliantly qualified, lavishly funded truth seekers. As voters try to make sense of a momentous Budget, where better to turn than BBC Verify, which employs some 60 specialist journalists to separate fact from fiction?

 

No privately funded UK media organisation can compete with these extraordinary resources, directed all day, every day, at establishing the facts about an impressive range of questions and controversies.

 

Want to know whether Hurricane Milton was “engineered”? BBC Verify is your go-to. It has examined the “basic ingredients of a hurricane” and spoken to a dizzying array of meteorologists and other experts to disprove a social media conspiracy about deliberate cloud seeding.

 

How about a nature reserve in the Philippines, which the BBC tells us has been “lauded by top climate activists and film stars,” but was hit by a “concerted disinformation attack?” A team of forensic journalists at BBC Verify spent ages poring over Facebook accounts to figure out who was behind claims of illegal logging and land grabbing on the site. There’s even something about witch-hunters in Nigeria.

 

But on today’s historic Budget? At the time of writing, absolutely nada post-Budget.

 

It is hard to imagine more fertile territory for forensic examination than Rachel Reeves’s historic statement. After all, her plans have sweeping implications for every business and every household – in other words, everyone who pays for the BBC.

 

Her £40 billion tax heist was announced with all sorts of murky justifications – providing BBC Verify’s experts with plenty to get stuck into. That infamous “£22bn black hole in the public finances” would be an obvious place to start.

 

Until now, the Treasury was unable to say precisely how she had reached that figure, prompting accusations that the figure was plucked from thin air. Finally, the Chancellor has published what she called a “line by line breakdown.” With its ample resources, BBC Verify should be crawling all of it. Yet the nation awaits.

 

No matter – at least there’s something on Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate Tim Walz’s military record!

 

If getting to the bottom of the alleged £22 billion black hole is too big an ask, perhaps they could look into something more general, like whether the Chancellor can justifiably claim to have kept Labour’s election promises, “no ifs or buts”? That should be easy. Run the red rule over the manifesto, and cross-check with the Budget’s announcements. A handful of reporters whizzing through the document and Reeves’s speech should do the trick. Yet so far BBC Verify has nothing to say.

 

Looking at the operation, what is striking is how heavily dominated it is by overseas controversies. Doubtless some BBC licence payers will be fascinated by an analysis of satellite images of newly laid tarmac on a key road to Gaza. Those with a very keen interest in the US election may also be interested in whether Kamala Harris’s “price gouging plan” will “really help US consumers.”

 

However, the Corporation appears to have forgotten one very important fact: its work is funded by British taxpayers.

 

Many would much rather hear what its finest investigative brains have to say about the impact of today’s announcements on British consumers.

NUCLEAR VERIFICATION

 

The IAEA applies technical measures, or ‘safeguards’, to verify that States are honouring their international legal obligations to use nuclear material only for peaceful purposes. Its independent verification work allows the IAEA to play an indispensable role in deterring the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

 

The implementation of the ‘Road-map for the Clarification of Past and Present Outstanding Issues regarding Iran’s Nuclear Program’ agreed between Iran and the IAEA and of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — agreed between China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, the High Representative of the European Union and Iran — have opened a new phase in relations between Iran and the IAEA.

 

The enhanced capabilities of the IAEA’s Safeguards Analytical Laboratories have strengthened the IAEA’s ability to conduct timely and independent analyses of nuclear material samples and ensure quality control to maintain confidence in analytical findings used for safeguards purposes.

This vehicle is a Verification Prototype for the 2014 L494 Range Rover Sport. These prototypes were the first vehicles that were representative of under body, upper body, powertrain and electrical architecture.

 

The camouflage on this vehicle was used to protect all aspects of the new vehicle’s design and included hard panels bolted to the body to change the lines of the vehicle physically, as well as the vinyl camouflage to distort the visual appearance. Interior camouflage was also used during the VP build phase and all test engineers had to follow strict guidelines on where vehicles were driven and parked during testing to prevent close-up high resolution photographs being leaked to the media in advance of the launch.

 

The VP phase of vehicles are used to sign off all engineering aspects of a new Land Rover product, ranging from extreme events tests to assess durability to stability control development tests undertaken on the frozen lakes of Sweden, and high lateral μ work on the Nürburgring and in the sands of Dubai. (Don’t know what μ is? Neither did we! It is the Split Coefficient of Friction, often referred to as Mu, which is all to do with what happens to a vehicle when the road friction differs significantly between the left and the right wheelpath, caused by changes in road surface or things such as black ice).
