A lot of toy Blackbirds seem to be weird hybrids with features of the A-12 Oxcart, M-21 Drone Carrier, and SR-71 Blackbird.

27/12/2022-Bolderwood in the New Forest and home

I finally managed photos of the Dunnock in the bush in the front garden that has been visiting a lot early today at home a little goal of mine, as I was just able to view it and get my camera through the vegetation to get some record shot standard photos including the first in this photoset stood on the balcony as I enjoyed watching this charismatic bird in the bush which is a treat to have in the garden. I also liked seeing Magpie from home today hearing them too and seeing Starlings and House Sparrow in the back garden. I liked taking macro photos of luminous coloured reddy and orange flowers in a flower pot in the balcony an oasis of colour in the bare landscape now I took the second picture in this photoset of the reddy ones, some chryanthemums gone over on the balcony and there were delicate, creamy and interesting sky scenes I liked from home today. I enjoyed a curled up spider battling the wind the other side of the window out the front this evening and some sweetly lit raindrops by night lights outside on the window and balcony. .

We had a nice walk at Bolderwood this afternoon in drier bits of the day and rain, where it was nice to take in views of imposing pine trees and others, clearings, heath, pool and stream. I took the third-seventh pictures in this photoset of views here today. It was enjoyable to see a couple of bits of floppy yellow stagshorn on trees one of my mushrooms of the year I took the tenth and final picture in this photoset of some and other mushrooms including some possible shelf fungi on a tree as the eighth picture in this photoset shows. Gorse in flower, some autumnal colour on one tree and lichen were nice to see too.

Another standout bird sighting today on the walk was another fine Great Spotted Woodpecker to see of late, this one of my favourite birds of eccentric colour called its high pitched alarm call as it flew into the top of a tall tree. I got the ninth picture in this photoset of it. It’s the second Tuesday in a row I’ve photographed a Great Spotted Woodpecker after Lakeside last week as the little run of seeing them began, and I’d only photographed one quite unusually perhaps once this year prior to that so it’s been good to get these photos even if today’s were at a distance as it just began to rain so are record shots also. I also saw some finches flying high on the walk, possibly Siskins, Blackbird and another thrush we couldn’t quite tell which. We marveled at a group of Fallow Deers trotting through a clearing on the walk, a precious wild sight.

It was nice to see New Forest ponies well on the way, with catkins, gorse, mistletoe, brown leaves, snowberry I believe, red deadnettle and spurge on a verge and Mute Swan and Cormorant flying over other highlights on journeys today.

YES, THE SR-71 LEAKS, It never stopped leaking. It did not seal up and stop leaking. Few people understand this.

Everyone talks about how the SR 71 leaks fuel. The fuel JP-7 was produced by Shell Oil to have a low flammability level. So it wasn’t really dangerous . They often snicker about it like they’re insinuating that the SR 71 was flawed in a significant way. This is not the truth. Our SR-71 was so far ahead of the rest of the world when it was invented that no sealant could withstand the extreme heat that a Mach 3+ airplane would make and then fly in the extremely cold temperatures at 85,000 feet. It was impossible to keep the tanks sealed.

I asked an expert, Floyd Jones, who has 30 years of experience working on the SR 71, this question? Did the SR 71 continue to leak fuel, even when it was flying? This is his answer.

During the PDM,Programmed Depot Maintenance over 10,000 man-hours were expended for fuel tank repair. When the SR was turned over to the AF the fuel leaks were mostly fixed. But after flying at speed, the leaks started to return.

You need to understand what constitutes a fuel tank on the SR-71

It starts with an aircraft structure that is sealed with a polymer sealant on all edges and seems.

After flying at speed and altitude, the sealant starts to crack, thus creating a leak.

Thank you, Floyd

Since we couldn’t find a sealant that could withstand the extreme temperature changes a plus 500 degrees to a minus 30.

So yes, the SR-71 would continue to leak under all conditions.

It never stopped even today 35 years after they were put on public display.

Some are weeping JP-7 fuel.

Decadent Desires Masterlist

Emily Prentiss x reader Warnings: language, alcohol consumption, so much smut, minor mentions of canon type violence/events. Chapters will be tagged appropriately. Very slight crossover between CM & HOC to include Heather.

As Section Chief, Emily has found herself overwhelmed at work and ended up with a very underwhelming personal life. With not enough time or energy to dive into the dating pool she’s a little lost. That is until friend Heather Dunbar suggests making an arrangement where financial compensation is exchanged to get her needs met.
