Eagle Farm Airport Eagle Farm Airport was a small airport located north - west of Brisbane , Queensland , Australia . History . An area located near Eagle Farm Racecourse was initially used as a landing field in 1922 and Eagle Farm Aerodrome was officially opened in 1925 . It was used for scheduled flights between Brisbane and Queensland regional centres by the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Limited ( Qantas ) , which operated from Eagle Farm in 1926 and formed the Brisbane Flying Training School there in 1927 . Sir Charles Kingsford Smith , Charles Ulm , Harry Lyon ( navigator ) and James Warner ( radio operator ) landed the Southern Cross at Eagle Farm on 9 June 1928 after its trans - Pacific flight from Oakland , California . About 16 , 000 people greeted the Southern Cross upon its landing . The Australian National Airways ( ANA ) began an aerial service from Eagle Farm to Sydney , New South Wales in 1930 . Eagle Farm was closed in 1931 after civil operations were relocated to Archerfield Airport . Sir Charles Kingsford Smith and Gordon Taylor took off from Eagle Farm airport on 20 October 1934 in the Lady Southern Cross attempting the first eastward trans - Pacific flight from Australia to the United States of America . World War II . The aerodrome was compulsorily acquired and taken over by the Royal Australian Air Force on 8 March 1940 . Eagle Farm was extended and reopened in January 1942 , during World War II by the United States Army Air Forces ( USAAF ) , due to the proximity to the Brisbane River . The aerodrome was used as a reassembly and test airfield for aircraft shipped from the United States . A testing area was built at Eagle Farm to test Allison engines that had been assembled or overhauled at the GMH Allison Overhaul Assembly Plant at Albion , Queensland . The Allied Technical Air Intelligence Unit ( ATAIU ) of the Allied Air Forces utilised Hangar No . 7 at Eagle Farm to test and to train in captured damaged Imperial Japanese aircraft . Post war . After World War II , Ansett ANA and Trans Australia Airlines moved their operations to Eagle Farm . By the 1970s it was clear that the facilities at Eagle Farm were inadequate for a city of Brisbane ' s size and anticipated growth . The Federal Government announced the construction of a new airport to be built north of Eagle Farm . The new airport was built by Leighton Holdings and Brisbane Airport opened in 1988 . Aircraft crashes . A number of aircraft crashed at Eagles Farm during World War II .
Takahashi Shigetane However , the forces of Shimazu had arrived earlier than the Otomo had initially anticipated , and therefore Shigetane was desperately placed into a dilemma : on hand he only possessed no more than 760 men , and as the opposition respectively wielded around 50 , 000 soldiers , no form of defense could be utterly possible , considering that such a mass of military might was additionally set on solely besieging Iwaya castle , as opposed to splitting and assaulting from a different direction . And as the circumstances would naturally have it , Shigetane was overwhelmed relatively immediately , but the forces in Iwaya somehow managed to survive for over two weeks before initially seeing that the situation was far beyond any length of salvation , forcing Shigetane to commit suicide there and then , who was consequently praised by the Shimazu for his bravery and conviction , despite being in a situation that entirely contradicted any means of victory . Right in the middle of The battle of Iwaya Castle , a commanding officer of Shimazu demanded him to stop attack and said that " Why do you serve the unjust Otomo clan that makes light of Buddhism and has faith in Christianity ? Your bravery has already been proven , please surrender . " To which he answered : " Swearing allegiance and loyalty to your lord and his clan when he is powerful , and betraying the clan when it is weak . Many a man do that , but I owe a debt of gratitude to my lord and his clan , and therefore I cannot do such a thing . A samurai who is ungrateful is worse than animals . " It was said that all men in the battlefield include Shimazu ' s soldiers admired him . His son Muneshige later was adopted to the Tachibana and succeeded Shigetane ' s daughter - in - law Tachibana Ginchiyo as the head of the clan .
Jumpseat ( satellite ) Jumpseat , also known as AFP - 711 is reportedly a code name for a class of SIGINT reconnaissance satellite s operated by the National Reconnaissance Office for the United States Air Force in the 1970s and 1980s . The program is classified , and much of the information in the open is speculative . It is believed that 6 Jumpseat satellites were successfully launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base on Titan IIIB launch vehicles with Agena D boosters between 21 March 1971 and 31 July 1983 . The 700 - kg Jumpseat satellites were manufactured by Hughes Aircraft and were inserted into highly elliptical Molniya orbits with an inclination of 63 degrees and orbital periods of close to 12 hours . These were in similar orbits to the Satellite Data System relay satellites . The successors to the Jumpseat series are the Trumpet satellites . References . Richelson , Jeffrey T . ed . " U . S .

716th Static Infantry Division ( Wehrmacht ) The 716th Static Infantry Division ( German : " 716 . Infanterie - Division " ) was a World War II , German Army Division . It was raised on May 2 , 1941 and sent to German - occupied France in June 1941 . Many of the Division ' s troops were elderly Germans and conscripts from other German occupied countries , especially Russians . As such it was not equipped with the standard configuration of vehicles and heavy weapons . Much of the Division ’ s artillery and anti - tank guns were from captured armaments . Divisional history . Formed in Bielefeld , the Division was transferred to Rouen in France for training . Following this , the Division was deployed along the Normandy coast in May 1942 . Its duties included coastal defense , air raid protection and defensive fortification construction . After a short period of deployment to Amiens and Brussels the Division was transferred to Caen . The Division would face Allied forces during D - Day on June 6 , 1944 . The 716th Division covered the Normandy coast north of Caen , from the mouth of the River Orne in the east to the Carentan Estuary in the west . As such the Division had elements present on Omaha , Gold , Juno and Sword Beaches . An artillery regiment was stationed at the Merville Battery . They were also charged with guarding what became known as Pegasus Bridge and as such were likely to be the first German ground troops in action on D - Day . During the fighting after D - Day , the Division fought defensively around Caen and Villers - Bocage . According to the commanding officer , " Generalleutnant " Wilhelm Richter , " " My division had been defeated and badly beaten up in Normandy " " . The Division was removed from frontline duty on July 10 , 1944 and luckily avoided the carnage of the Falaise Pocket . Redeployed to the south of France , the Division took up coastal security positions in the region of Salses - Perpignan - Elne , close to the Spanish border . Thereafter , the Division was ordered to withdraw on August 19 , 1944 and retreated through Languedoc to the region around Lyon . After this movement the Division was engaged by the French resistance before later arriving in the area of Sélestat in Alsace . In October 1944 the 716th Infantry Division was in the region of Oberrhein ( near Colmar ) where it fought at Neunkirch - Obenhein and was nearly wiped out in heavy fighting in January 1945 . The remains of the Division was reconstituted as the 716th Volksgrenadier Division in April 1945 before surrendering to American units at Kempten in May 1945 . Order of battle . The 716th ' s complement when raised in 1941 was :
CSS Tuscaloosa ( cruiser ) The CSS " Tuscaloosa " was a ship captured by the Confederate States Navy , during the American Civil War , and was originally known as the American bark " Conrad " . While en route from Buenos Aires to New York with a cargo of wool and goat skins , she was captured by the CSS " Alabama " on June 20 , 1863 during the CSS Alabama ' s South Atlantic Expeditionary Raid . Being fast and well adapted for a cruiser , Capt . Raphael Semmes , CSN , commissioned her the next day as a cruiser and tender to the " Alabama " , renaming her " Tuscaloosa " . Two rifled brass 12 - pounders and a plentiful supply of rifles , pistols and ammunition were transferred to her with enough provisions for a 3 - month cruise . Lt . J . Low , CSN , with 15 men , was ordered on board with instructions for an African cruise in the direction of the Cape of Good Hope . On July 31 , 1863 " Tuscaloosa " captured the American ship " Santee " with a cargo of rice and bonded her for $ 150 , 000 . On August 8 , Low brought his ship into Simon ' s Bay in South Africa , departing thence for a 90 - day cruise during which he stopped at Angra Pequena , Southwest Africa , to discharge Tuscaloosa ' s cargo of wool and goat skins . On November 19 , 1863 he put into St . Catherine ' s , Brazil , for supplies but was not allowed to purchase them and was informed he must depart before nightfall . From there " Tuscaloosa " returned to Simon ' s Bay on December 26 , 1863 only to be seized the next day by British authorities as an uncondemned prize which had violated the neutrality of Her Majesty ' s Government . They ordered her to be held until properly reclaimed by her original owners . Lieutenant Low and his men left the ship and an officer and men from HMS " Narcissus " were placed on board . Her owners did not reclaim her and in March 1864 she was released by the British authorities . The Confederate States Navy was in no position to reclaim her , and so after the war , she was turned over to the Union Navy .
Type 206 - class gunboat The Type 206 class gunboat is a gunboat of the People ' s Republic of China ' s People ' s Liberation Army Navy . Also known as the Huludao class , it is a simplified version of the Type 037 class submarine chaser ( also known as the Hainan class ) . Used for patrol duties , it has slightly reduced displacement , but has an enlarged superstructure . Construction . A total of 7 of this class were sold to Algeria in the period of 1990 through 1991 . At least a single unit remaining in PLAN service for training and patrol missions , unconfirmed reports claiming that the Chinese unit has been up gunned . The specification of Type 206 class gunboat is generally similar to that of Type 037 class submarine chaser except for its much lighter armament , making it more suited for patrolling friendly coastal areas . Designation . Although the Chinese classify this class as gunboat , it is actually much more accurate to fit the classification of the patrol boat s for various reasons . For example , the missions and weaponry are that of patrol boat s and due to the drastic reduction of the number of crews , the living conditions is significantly improved . In fact , after evaluating the class , the Chinese eventually developed much smaller 80 ton type harbor security / patrol boats to replace the obsolete and aging Shantou , Beihai , Huangpu and Yulin classes of gunboats performing the patrol duties , thus breaking the long tradition of the PLAN of having no dedicated patrol boat s .
Umatilla Chemical Depot The Umatilla Chemical Depot , ( UMCD ) based in Umatilla , Oregon , was a U . S . Army installation in the United States that stored chemical weapons . The chemical weapons originally stored at the depot consisted of various munitions and ton containers containing GB and VX nerve agents and HD blister agent . All munitions have been safely destroyed by 2011 and base closure operation are expected to be completed by 2015 . History . The Umatilla Chemical Depot opened in 1941 , to prepare for World War II . The depot ' s mission was to store and maintain a variety of military items , from blanket s to ammunition . The depot took on its chemical weapons storage mission in 1962 and stored 12 % of the nation ' s stockpile . From 1990 to 1994 the facility reorganized in preparation for eventual closure , shipping all conventional ammunition and supplies to other installations . Chemical Weapons Destruction Facility . The Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility is designed for the destruction of the chemical weapons stored at the Umatilla Chemical Depot . The facility was completed in 2001 . The Army began weapons disposal on September 8 , 2004 and completed disposal on October 25 , 2011 . Destruction is a requirement under the Chemical Weapons Convention and monitored by the OPCW . The facility destroyed 220 , 604 munitions and containers containing 3 , 717 tons of GB , HD and VX via high - temperature incineration , representing 100 percent of the base ' s stockpile . While destroying 50 % of its stockpile took six years ( until August 2010 ) , the processing of the second 50 % was expected to take only two years . The process is simplified by having only ton - containers of HD remaining to be processed while multiple kinds of individual munitions containing several agents were destroyed early in the campaign . An emphasis on risk reduction prioritized destruction of the most modern and dangerous compounds ( VX and GB ) and destruction of smaller containers , which had greater risk of theft , explosion , and leakage . Public participation and outreach . The Oregon Citizens ' Advisory Commission , whose members include area residents appointed by the Governor , is a focal point for public participation in the Army ' s weapons storage and disposal program in Umatilla . The Umatilla Chemical Disposal Outreach Office in Hermiston , as well as the Umatilla Chemical Depot Public Affairs Office , are open to the public Monday through Friday to answer questions and provide program information .

BL 9 . 2 inch Mk XI naval gun The BL 9 . 2 inch gun Mark XI was a British 50 calibre high - velocity naval gun which was mounted as primary armament on armoured cruiser s and secondary armament on pre - dreadnought battleship s . History . The gun with its increased length of 50 calibres was an attempt to extract a higher velocity , and hence more range and armour - piercing capability , from the 9 . 2 inch gun . Like other British 50 - calibre guns of the period it was relatively unsuccessful , and was the last model of 9 . 2 inch gun Britain built . Guns were mounted in the following ships : After the scrapping of the ships above , these guns and mountings were retained in storage , the intention at one point during early World War Two to use them as armament for small monitors which would have been reduced versions of the " Roberts " - class monitor s . This however never advanced beyond planning stages . < br >
A . E . Bassom Arthur Ernest Bassom OBE KPM ( 14 June 1865 – 17 January 1926 ) was a British police officer and one of the main pioneers of traffic policing with the London Metropolitan Police . Bassom joined the Royal Marine Artillery as a Gunner at the age of 17 and gained the highest possible marks in his gun nery examinations and therefore the right to almost certain promotion . In 1886 , however , just before he reached 21 , the minimum age at which he could be promoted , he left to join the Metropolitan Police as a Constable . He was posted to " D " Division ( Marylebone ) , but the following year was transferred to the Public Carriage Office at Scotland Yard , where he was to spend the rest of his life . At the PCO his hard work , encyclopaedic memory and innate understanding of traffic problems led to rapid promotion . In 1901 he was promoted to Chief Inspector in charge of the branch . In 1903 Bassom saw the introduction of London ' s first motor cab . After completing a course in motor engineering at the Regent Street Polytechnic , he produced the Metropolitan Police Regulations for the Construction and Licensing of Hackney ( Motor ) Carriages , 1906 ( The Conditions of Fitness for Motor Hackney Carriages ) . This document , which included the requirement for a turning circle , influenced the design of London cabs for the next one hundred years . In 1906 he received a promotion to Superintendent on merit . It was said that he could visualise any part of the seven hundred square miles of the Metropolitan Police District and give an analysis of its traffic problems and possible solutions . Commissioner Sir Nevil Macready once admitted that Bassom was the one man in the Metropolitan Police who was indispensable . So much so that when he reached the retirement age of sixty for officers below Chief Officer rank in 1925 , he was promoted to Chief Constable and given the title of Director of Traffic Services in order to retain him . He died the following year still in office . Bassom also had a detailed knowledge of motor mechanics . He visited nearly every town in the United Kingdom and many in Europe to observe their traffic problems . He framed " the Knowledge " , the test that has to be undertaken by all London taxi drivers to this day , and devised the Bassom System of London bus route numbers . Bassom was awarded the King ' s Police Medal ( KPM ) in 1919 and appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire ( OBE ) in the 1920 civilian war honours .

10 cm Feldhaubitze M 99 The 10 cm Feldhaubitze M 99 was a howitzer was used by Austria - Hungary during World War I . It used bronze for its barrel and lacked a modern recoil system , using only an ineffective spring - mounted spade brake , and was virtually obsolescent upon its introduction . Nonetheless it was the standard field howitzer for the Austrian Army upon the outbreak of the war . It donated its barrel to the 10 cm Gebirgshaubitze M 99 , although few of those were made , being largely replaced by a version of the standard Feldhaubitze M 99 with a narrow , carriage for use on mountain paths . The axle seats were deleted from these narrow carriages in the interest of saving weight .
