"23 Skidoo" P-38J Lightning at Chino
Pdunn (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Pdunn.
"Easily one of the most recognizable fighters of its time because of its distinctive twin-boom design, the Lockheed P-38 Lightning was one of the most famous American warplanes of World War Two and the mount of America's two top aces—Dick Bong, who scored 40 aerial victories, and Tommy McGuire, who was credited with 38 kills. However, although more than 10,000 Lightnings were built during the war, the big fighter did not fit into the Air Corps' post-war plans and was soon retired from service.
Today, there are probably fewer than a score of intact Lightning airframes left in the world and only about half a dozen of those are flyable or restorable to flying condition. The most recent Lightning to be restored to flying condition is P-38J-20-LO serial 44-23314 which, after 28yr of inactivity, took to the skies once more at the Chino Airport in Southern California on July 22, 1988. Bearing the civil registration N29Q, this aircraft belongs to The Air Museum's "Planes of Fame" collection and was the object of a 13-month restoration project by Steve Hinton's Fighter Rebuilders crew at Chino and "Planes of Fame" volunteer workers.
Including its wartime service with the Army Air Corps, 44-23314 had a total of only 121hr on its airframe before restoration. It just flew for a short time with training squadrons in Texas and Florida during the last year of the war before being declared surplus."

Palacio del Obispado
In 1787, when a merciless snow storm fell upon Monterrey, Fray (brother) Rafael Verger decided that the time was ripe to erect a Catholic Diocese, in order to supply a shelter to the matters of Faith and, moreover, to provide an occupation for all the impoverished and famished indigenes, who were suffering due to the extreme climate conditions.
Some time later and owing to its strategic location at the top of a hill, this religious seat performed as a fortress, when the United States troops invaded Mexico in September of 1846.
Years later, Pancho Villa took this jewel of colonial architecture as his headquarters. From those violent times there still remain the artillery and bullet holes upon the walls.
Since September 20th, 1956, this palace became seat to the Museo Regional de Nuevo Leon. It is placed in the western end of the Padre Mier Avenue, at a distance of two and a half kilometres from the centre of the City.

The former Royal Air Force Station Dallachy, commonly known as RAF Dallachy, was a British Royal Air Force airbase situated east of Elgin, in Moray, Scotland. During World War II it was a fighter station, used by 18 Group Coastal Ops.
Opened in March 1943, it was originally used as a training station by the 14 (Pilot) Advanced Flying Unit, using Airspeed Oxfords. In September 1943, it was reorganized for operational use by several squadrons, including No. 144 Squadron RAF, No. 404 Squadron RCAF and No. 455 Squadron RAAF. Towards the end of 1944, it was reorganized again with No. 489 Squadron RNZAF, flying Beaufighters on shipping strikes, and No. 524 Squadron RAF with radar-equipped Wellingtons.
The airfield was closed in June 1945, becoming a Territorial Army training center until 1958.
A memorial now stands in the nearby village of Bogmoor to remember the soldiers who lost their lives in World War II.

Barendrecht train crash (9/24/09)
alfjon (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: alfjon.
A multiple train collision south of Rotterdam has caused chaos on the rail network and roads in the area. Goods traffic from and to Rotterdam harbour will be affected over the next five days.
Two goods trains were involved in a head-on collision below a viaduct on the A15 motorway, killing the driver of one train. Derailed sections landed on a parallel track, where a passenger train was approaching. Its driver spotted the accident just in time to slow down and minimize the impact. On the passenger train a couple of passengers were slightly injured. The viaduct was damaged by goods wagons piling up under it.
The area was quickly evacuated after the pile-up, because it was feared the goods trains transported inflammable liquids. This later turned out not to be the case. The A15 motorway remained closed until the morning rush hour; goods traffic by rail south of Rotterdam remains suspended while the wreckage is cleared, which will take at least five days. This will affect cargo transports at Rotterdam Harbour, goods train operating company DB Schenker has said. Passenger services have been resumed.
The National Safety Investigation Council is making an inventory of the situation in order to establish the cause of the accident. The mayor of the town of Barendrecht, on whose territory the crash happened, said it confirmed that his town is in a danger zone. The area is crisscrossed by regular and highspeed rail lines and motorways, and is home to a significant part of the Netherlands' petrochemical industry.
