I did a little research and this looks to be a WW2 army truck! Long retired, it basks in the sun on a quiet farm, reliving the glory days!

This mill has been undergoing some restorations and I am not sure if they have finalised it yet,hence the fencing around the mill.

The year after our visit here,hoping to return, they where still under discussions about the windows and the door.

Details taken from their Website today.:-

This iconic Sussex landmark, perched on Halnaker Hill and visible from a wide surrounding area, is well worth the climb to admire close up. The windmill is also a Grade 2 listed building. The wildflower-rich chalk grassland at the hilltop is a great spot to get away from it all and enjoy fine views of the coast across a patchwork of woods and farmland.

The top of Halnaker Hill is a Scheduled Ancient Monument as it is the location of a Neolithic earthwork structure known as a 'causewayed enclosure'. This scheduling includes the WW2 radio direction-finding structure.

The windmill has been recently restored with a new tile-hung façade and extensive repairs to the cap and balcony. The sails (known locally as sweeps) have also been restored and rehung. A new galvanised steel fence has been installed around the perimeter of the windmill. The windmill is closed to the public.

On the chalk grassland you may find some less common species of plant, such as Pyramidal Orchid and Common-spotted Orchid. Chalk downland is a rich habitat for insects and a food source for farmland birds, such as the Yellowhammer. Look out for Buzzards soaring over the landscape and Skylarks singing overhead.

Butterflies attracted to the flowers up here include the Marbled White, Common Blue, Large Skipper and Red Admiral. Along the lane, on the way up, keep an eye out for Silver-washed Fritillary, Large, Small and Green-veined Whites, Meadow Brown, Ringlet and Gatekeeper.

Twin jet fighter, which entered service with the Luftwaffe, towards the end ot WW2, this example is at RAFM Cosford

I have an uncle who was a marine during ww2 who fought in the pacific. This is a Japanese flag that he brought home, it has a few names written on it from some of the men that he served with. The names on the flag are:

Charles F Blanbo from Washington DC ( I think that's what the last name is, its kinda fuzzy)

Harold L Bachelor from Portland Oregon

Wm Roberts from Brookville Indiana

Frank Trusky from Akron Ohio

James E. Day from Huntsville Alaska

Douglas P. Searbrough from Monterey Tennessee

Harlan Bunnilk from Rockford Minnesota

John L. England from Jacksonville Texas

and my uncle Charles Fortney

I'm still trying to get more information like the unit he was in and if my uncle can remember where he got the flag from. He gave this to me about 25 or 30 years ago, it's been at my parents house till I asked them to send it to me.

What's up everyone. After 2 weeks I've finally found the time to do some photo processing. I've taken a bunch of photos over this break and will be making a full return. I've got a lot of Flickr to catch up on this coming weekend. Hope everyone had a great new year and I'm looking forward to seeing all the photos I've missed.

This was taken on a hike at Koko Head Crater in Hawaii Kai. It's a hike on an abandoned rail track going straight up the side of this mountain. The railway and bunkers on the peak were used during WW2 but now rest in an abandoned state of decay. This is a view of Hawaii Kai from the very top about 20 minutes before sunset. Hiking this trail helped me realize how out of shape I was :) New years resolution do more hikes...

First Vertorama of the year for me. bottom and top made from 7 exposures in photomatix. Blended the -3 exposure back onto parts of the sunset sky. Manually stitched both sections, curves, saturation, unsharp mask, and noise ninja.

A friend and I were at Bunker Bash 2009, the annual military rally at the former Government bunker at Kelvedon Hatch, near Brentwood in Essex. We had been undecided about going so arrived late and not in the best of weather.

We found an enthusiatic bunch of re-enactors and military vehicles owners covering both World Wars. One part of the site had been laid out as mock entrenchments with various national groups including British, US, German, Soviet and even Serbian forces dug-in.

Jagdpanzer IV advancing through the fields of Berlin outskirts. Circa. 1945.

Finally back in Hong Kong, will upload more soon, started filming on the new stopmotion.

Das Fahrgastschiff Deutschland wurde 1942 auf der Werft der Gebrüder Winkler in der Landgemeinde Kalkberge an den Rüdersdorfer Gewässern als Dampfschiff gebaut. Mit dem Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurden speziell in Berlin sämtliche Motorschiffe stillgelegt, um Kraftstoff zu sparen. Heute führt die "Deutschland" ein sehr trauriges Dasein ..

The passenger ship Deutschland was built in 1942 as a steamship at the Winkler brothers' shipyard in the rural municipality of Kalkberge on the Rüdersdorfer waters. With the beginning of the Second World War, especially in Berlin, all motor ships were shut down in order to save fuel. Today the "Deutschland" leads a very sad existence ..

Vorwärts männer! Wehrmacht advances into a village in the outskirts of Russia. Circa 1943.

Nikolaï Polikarpov conçut son U-2 afin de remplacer l'U-1 (désignation de l'Avro 504 en URSS). Il s'agit d'un biplan à train classique fixe, construit en bois et destiné d'abord à l'entraînement et à des missions agricoles.

Cet avion école connut la célébrité grâce à l'héroïsme de pilotes féminines de l'Union Soviétique, les célèbres sorcières de la nuit"

L’étonnante histoire du 588e Régiment de bombardiers de nuit est méconnue du grand public. Et pourtant, il constitue l’unité 100% féminine la plus décorée de l’Histoire, avec ses quelque 30 000 missions et 23 000 tonnes de bombes larguées. Uniquement constituée de pilotes et de mécaniciennes âgées entre 17 et 26 ans, cette équipe de combattantes chevronnées a été un cas unique dans l’Histoire de la guerre. En effet, nous comptons de nombreux éléments féminins ayant participé à l’effort de guerre et ce, dans toutes les armées des pays concernés par la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Cependant, en ce qui concerne les femmes pilotes, elles étaient très souvent cantonnées à la surveillance et au transport du matériel, ayant pour la plupart la responsabilité de l’appui logistique, comme dans l’armée de l’air américaine, par exemple. Les Russes sont les seuls à avoir mis sur pied, à cette époque, une escadrille uniquement féminine dont les avions étaient couverts de fleurs peintes sur la carlingue de leurs Polikarpov Po-2. Ces biplans ont participé à la réputation de ces fameuses combattantes planant sans bruit dans la nuit noire

The past is still there!
