Fwd: nature at work

Uncle Chris shared this photo.

This picture was shot at the isle of mull [scotland]. An eagle with a very impressive wingspan just picked up his midday snack clutched in his powerful talons. A whole new meaning of leading a lamb to the slaughter.

Where are your takings? And I am not talking about the lamb.

Sorry to disappoint you, Callie.

Callie, I finally found a photo of the Japanese doll I told you about in Daddy's wallet.



That's a photo of myself taken beside the Japanese doll I received as a gift. But since the photo has been removed and placed in one wallet after another by Daddy it's too worn out to see the doll clearly. Sorry, Callie.

No wonder Daddy can remember the pink t-shirt I wore when I first met him at 23!

Have fun with food and fruits.

Have fun with food and fruits watching these photos only. No playing with my knives.

Photographs by Tom Arma

I have 3 books for children with photographs by Tom Arma that I like very much. They are:

1) Dress-Up Time

2) Funny Farm

3) Zoo Crew


These are the only books that my children have outgrown that I have held on to. So, who is Tom Arma? The New York Times reported that he is the most published baby photographer in the world. Check out the photos on these slides and see for yourself.

The girl who makes him happy

Calvin, meet the lady who makes Uncle Chris a happy camper that he is always emailing us great stuff that we like.

It's Aunty Ria!



They have been together for ages and still looking good together. So, when you are happy yet again with the aircraft photos Uncle Chris emailed you, remember to thank Aunty Ria in your heart.

And don't forget! If you hear me squabbling with daddy, remember to email me this link as a reminder that I have said I want Daddy and Mummy to be a couple just like Uncle Chris and Aunty Ria.

Thank you Chris and Ria for my daily happy moments.

Air France Concorde on departure from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  This was of
course many,many, many moons ago. ie in 1979.

Note that the pointy bit in front is already almost in the upward position
just after take-off.

Once at cruise level, a heat shield will be put up in front of the cockpit
window in order to ward-off the friction.

C-17 Globemaster

The four builders are shown in the image above. Colin Straus, the owner, is at the nose of the aircraft. This 1/9th scale radio-controlled C-17 model was built in the United Kingdom

It was built as the centerpiece of a 15 program television series produced in the U.K. for the Home and Leisure satellite TV channel. Built with the aid of three friends, it took one year to build and is powered with 4 Jetcat P-120 turbines with a total thrust of 108 lbs.

The model weighs over 250 lbs fueled, and carries 12.5 liters (3.3 US gallons) of 95% kerosene and 5% turbine oil fuel. Other details include 5 Futaba PCM receivers, 16 battery packs (93 cells), 20 Futaba servos, on board air compressor, electro/pneumatic retracts, etc. Wingspan is 20 feet 8 inches, and the top of the fin is 74 inches (6 feet 2 inches) above the ground. Takeoff weight is 264 lbs.

The rear cargo doors open and they drop an r/c jeep on a pallet, as well as 2 free-fall r/c parachutists. The model also has smoke systems both of the inboard turbines, and uses a 2.4 GHz data link to provide real-time data to a laptop computer on the ground while in flight. This data includes airspeed, turbine RPM, EGT, fuel consumption, etc.

Built mainly from balsa and ply, with many glass and carbon fiber moldings to reduce weight . It is covered in fiberglass and epoxy resin. This C-17 Globemaster III is one of the largest jet models in the world today! Complete with retractable landing gear and pneumatically operated flaps.
