This is RAF Museum in Hendon, one of the many brilliant museums in London. Whilst not centrally located, it is definitely worth a visit.

The kindness of strangers

I remember the strangers that were kind and beautiful Though I’ll never know their name The man with his sister sitting on a train As I was in tears and crying about the loss that I had gain Cuddling a purple rabbit, I must have looked insane But he was kind to me and soothed the pain I remember the woman on a bus That had seen my anxious face She tapped me on the shoulder And her words…

"Access the Buccaneer" _ RAF Museum London, Grahame Park Way, London, NW9 5LL _ Photos by Spyros Kaprinis [28.10.2023].

"The only Buccaneer in preservation to retain its original ARTF (desert pink) paint, located at the RAF Museum London, more commonly known as Hendon.

XW547 was delivered to the RAF on 31st October 1972 with 15 Squadron RAFG at Laarbruch two days later. She went on to serve with 12 Squadron, 237 OCU, 216 Squadron, then received new wings in late 1980 (a result of inspections after the Red Flag Buccaneer crash that was caused by spar fatigue) and then onward to 208 Squadron and 12 once more. She took part in 1983's 'Operation Western Fox' - slamming Martel missiles into old ships in Florida - and by 1986 was Sea Eagle-capable.

In January 1991 XW547 was prepared for the Gulf War with a few modifications, repainted in the Alkali Removeable Temporary Finish (ARTF), better known as 'desert pink'. She was given the tail code 'R', named The Macallan, and received the nose art 'Guinness Girl/Pauline'. During the Gulf, XW547 took part in 11 missions, after each mission a bomb marking (mission symbol) was added underneath the cockpit on the starboard side that can still be seen on her today. XW547 retired later that year, going into storage a Shawbury before being used as an instructional airframe."

LT trams, MET 130 (LT 2466) & LT 2427 (MET 95) by Frederick McLean Via Flickr: An old photograph taken at Hendon Depot in 1934 of London Transport (LT) trams No. 130 and No. 2427, showing '66 - Canons Park' and '66 - Edgware' destination blinds respectively. It would appear this only being the year after London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) took over local tramways companies that the renumbering of trams had not finished. The rear tram is showing it's new LT number, but the front tram still shows it's old Metropolitan Electric Tramways (MET) number. The photo reverse is annotated with "type A, Hendon Depot, 1934", and stamped with the photographer and/or negative owner name of D. W. K. Jones. Both were MET 'A' class open top unvestibuled cars built in 1904 by Brush seating 32/38, each ran on a pair of Brush BB maximum traction bogies. They had top covers fitted in 1928/9, one source says they were 'reconstructed' at this time but I cannot find that mentioned elsewhere. Their ownership changed from MET to the LPTB in 1933, No. 130 was renumbered as LT No. 2466 (still showing its old number in this photo), and No. 95 being renumbered as LT No. 2427. No. 2466 was withdrawn Dec 1935 and No. 2427 in Jan 1936, both were disposed of (broken up or sold) at the LT Hampstead Depot. The parts of the London tramways system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to trolleybus/bus operation closed in Jul 1952. If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks. 📷 Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location. 📷 -------------------------------------------------

Barnet Gate Wood, London; 28.10.2023

[antisemitism-eu]

The father of two from Hendon recounted the harrowing ordeal to Jewish News. “We left the game early to meet a friend. As we walked towards the bar area, chaos broke out—mopeds appeared from alleyways and a crowd surrounded an Israeli man.”

He described the horrifying scene: “The man was on the ground, his head pinned between a kerb and a metal gate, being viciously kicked.”

Aaron and his friend Jacob intervened, managing to push the attackers away and help the victim. “We thought it was over,” he said. But moments later, the gang returned and confronted them, asking, “Are you Yehudi? Are you Jewish?”

Jacob, a father of three from Golders Green, said the thugs asked to see their passports to check whether they were Jewish.

Despite denying they were Israeli and pleading to be left alone, the gang continued their intimidation, grabbing Aaron’s friend’s coat before the situation escalated further.

“I told him to leave him alone, and the next thing I know he punched me in the face. It was so unexpected. My glasses were broken, my nose split. Blood everywhere. After he punched me, about 20 more came out of their hiding places to effectively finish me off. But I stood my ground. I said what you’re doing is why you’re not getting any support.”

When the leader of the gang said: “He’s British, leave him alone”, another responded “Yes, but he helped a Jew.”

“That,” says Aaron, “is why they were angry. Because I helped a Jew.”
