Zero did many designs for the London Transport and it was customary to hang two posters side by side 1935.

Aircraft Carrier Zuiho, Battle of the Bismarck Sea, 1943
The Allies' main opponent in the Pacific air war, the Zero is the most famous symbol of Japanese air power during World War II. The fighter first flew in April 1939, and Mitsubishi, Nakajima, Hitachi and the Japanese navy produced 10,815 Zeros from 1940-1945. Zeros were produced in greater number than any other aircraft. Its distinctive design and historical impact make the Zero an important machine in air power history.
The Zero got its name from its official designation, Navy Type Zero Carrier-Based Fighter (or Reisen), though the Allies code-named it "Zeke." The Zero was the successor to the A5M Type 96 "Claude." Mitsubishi designed the A6M from Navy requirements set out in 1937 for a fighter that was fast, maneuverable and had great range. Designed as a carrier-borne fighter, it was exceptionally light compared to its opponents. This requirement was not only necessary to provide maneuverability but also was caused by the Zero's low-powered engine. Lack of interservice cooperation in engine development limited the horsepower available to Japanese designers. Other consequences included omitting armor protection for the pilot, not using self-sealing fuel tanks, and building lightweight wings as an integral part of the fuselage.
The A6M first saw combat in China in the late summer of 1940, and it quickly helped Japan dominate the air in Asia. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, 125 Zeros from six aircraft carriers participated. In the early part of the war, Allied aircraft such as the Curtiss P-40 and Seversky P-35 were at a disadvantage in a dogfight with a Zero flown by a skilled pilot, and the A6M became a well-known and dangerous opponent.
The Japanese advantage, however, began to disappear as American tactics evolved. American pilots gained experience fighting the Zero in China with the American Volunteer Group, known as the Flying Tigers, and at the Battle of Midway. The key to fighting the Zero was to stay out of dogfights, and instead use superior armament and hit-and-run diving attacks against the relatively fragile A6M. American fighters introduced in 1943 were more powerful (2,000-hp engines), faster, and had much more firepower than the Zero. As Allied pilots used their heavily-armed aircraft to advantage, the Zero's dominance ended. At the same time, the number of American aircraft and pilots increased, and the number of experienced Japanese aircrew shrank.
While development of the Zero continued by adding self-sealing tanks, armor plate and increasing horsepower to 1,150 hp, the later Zero was much heavier and thus less nimble. Weight increased 28 percent, but horsepower increased only 16 percent, degrading overall combat performance.
Beginning around October 1944 during the battle for the Philippines, Zeros were used in kamikaze attacks. Kamikazes used A6Ms more than any other aircraft for these suicide missions.
This Nakajima-built A6M2 was placed on display in 2004. It was found in Papua New Guinea, near the city of Kavieng on New Ireland, and was probably one of the aircraft delivered to Rabaul and operated at Kavieng by the 6th Kokutai (Squadron) and later by the 253rd Kokutai. It is painted to represent a section leader's aircraft from the aircraft carrier Zuiho during the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, March 1943, in which Allied air power won a major victory over Japanese sea power. American and Australian aircraft sank four Japanese destroyers and 15 troop ships, and shot down more than 50 Zeros, preventing Japanese reinforcements from reaching New Guinea.
TECHNICAL NOTES:
Armament: Two 20mm cannon, two 7.7mm machine guns
Engine: Sakae 12 of 940 hp
Maximum speed: 316 mph
Range: 1,930 miles
Hero Name: Unit Zero One
Secret Identity: N/A
Mission: Defending Antarctica from alien attack.
Superpowers Robot strength and speed; energy and particle shields; interchangeable weapon pods; multi-spectrum vision; 150-kiloton self-destruct mechanism.
Origin: In the year 2132, the planet Earth is under attack. Disguised in a meteor shower, aliens have landed an army of biomechanical constructs to pave the way for full-scale invasion. Unified as never before, the people of Earth make a last stand in Antarctica. With human life too precious to send into battle, the most brilliant scientists -- evacuated as the invasion began -- develop their own mechanical army to take back the planet. The result of this classified U.N. weapons research project is Unit Zero One – a prototype that represents the culmination of human technology and science, an unrivaled military tactician, a brave warrior in direct combat, and quite possibly the savior of humankind.

Zero 2000, Kodak Ektar, 4 minutes
The leaving is, perhaps, the worst part. That point in a trip when you have to leave, but you have to work hard at getting back home. It took me two full days to get to Suriname, and two full days to get back. It is a testament to the goodness of the country that I arrived home after 48 hours, four flights, and one dingy hotel still feeling relaxed and happy. I had a wonderful time, and would love to return. Next time, though, I will speak a little Dutch.
a bit of digital and a bit of freelensing on a vintage analog synthesizer.
for work, i needed a digital as the compact point and shoot canon i got from a friend, for free, just wasnt cutting it anymore.
after much hunting, i finally decided on a nikon v1 body and adapters for the rokkor and jupiter glass that i have.
the nikon handles really well,... and as a film shooter all i as looking for was a digital back for my glass. so because the nikon was aimed at people who just want to point and shoot,.... ironically it fits into my workflow really well.
with film bodies, i decide on an appropriate iso, meter the scene with my external meter, set the camera and go,.... adjusting shutter speed and aperture as the light changes.
with the V1, the distinct lack of knobs and buttons and wheels means i wind up doing the same thing,.....
aperture adjusted on the lens, rocker switch for shutter speed.
seriously what more do you need?
despite the sensor being half the size of m4/3 i went with it because of the colours and the images that came out of it,.... the noise is almost film like, and some black and white images i've seen remind me of neopan.
and it feels nice in the hand,.. very similar to my minolta xd, but lighter.
this afternoon i'll be hitting the streets with her.
St. Thomas’ church served as the zero point for Mumbai. Distances along all major roads were measured from this point. A plaque at the entrance of the church mentions the story of Mumbai’s zero point with a map. According to the plaque, 16 milestones — each four feet high — were laid out from the church, leading to the north of the city. Today, 11 of the 16 milestones have been located, many on unassuming corners of kerbs and submerged due to the heightened road levels. The plaque was placed in December 2018 to commemorate the tercentenary celebration of the church.
The history of the church dates back to 1676, when the foundation stone was laid. After some progress, the construction was abandoned for several decades until Richard Cobbe, the chaplain of the East India Company, took up the initiative of completing it. It was opened to the public on Christmas Day, 1718.
It was years later, in 1816, when the church was dedicated to St. Thomas by Thomas Middleton, the first bishop of Calcutta. In July 1837, the Anglican church was converted into a cathedral and came to be known as St. Thomas’ Cathedral and served as the seat of the bishop of Bombay. The plaque explaining the zero point is outside, next to an ornate marble fountain built in 1864 by Parsi entrepreneur and philanthropist Cowasji Jehangir Readymoney.
I'll post about Readymoney soon :)
