Canada was a leader in these peacekeeping efforts and was providing logistics , signals and air and service units . Their three Buffalo aircraft were flying six day a week schedules . UN Flight 51 was Buffalo 461 ' s last flight designation , for a routine scheduled supply trip from Ismailia , Egypt to Damascus , Syria . Five crew members and four military passengers were on board when the aircraft took off from Beirut International Airport after a stopover . The First Officer , Captain Keith Mirau , received clearance to enter Syrian airspace from the Damascas air traffic control centre at 0945 GMT .

HMS Pallas ( 1865 ) HMS " Pallas " was a purpose - built wooden - hulled ironclad of the Royal Navy , designed as a private venture by Sir Edward Reed , and accepted by the Board of Admiralty because , as an economy measure , they wished to use up the stocks of seasoned timber held in the Woolwich Dockyard . The fact that Woolwich was not equipped to build iron ships was also relevant . She was built as a box - battery ship , with two of her big guns on either broadside and the others mounted in the extreme bow and stern as chase guns . It was possible to achieve axial fire from the battery guns by traversing them to fire fore or aft through recessed embrasures at the corners of the battery . As with similar arrangements in contemporary box - battery ironclads , moving the guns in anything other than calm water would have been extremely hazardous . The small number of guns , and the low weight of the broadside , was excused on the basis that the ship ' s primary weapon was the ram . " Pallas " was the first warship in the Royal Navy to be fitted with compound expansion engines , and a high performance was expected from them ; her specification claimed a speed under power of fourteen knots , which was necessary if she were to ram enemy ships who were themselves under way . On her trials , however , riding light , she achieved only , while piling up an enormous bow wave . After her bow contour was hastily modified she was able to just reach , which in the event of armed conflict would have been insufficient to allow her to fulfil her designed ramming function against any enemy ship with an operational power plant . Service history . HMS " Pallas " was commissioned at Portsmouth , and served with the Channel Fleet until September 1870 , when she was paid off for a long ( and very early ) refit . She served in the Mediterranean Fleet from 1872 to 1879 , and was paid off . She was retained in fourth class reserve at Devonport until sold .
Vehicle markings of the United States military There are only two authorized methods of making bumper numbers : using adhesive vinyl ( stickers ) and paint . United States Army vehicles must be marked with a unit designation to foster accountability and promote attention to detail during maintenance operations . The term " bumper number " refers the combination of numbers and letters on the front and rear of a vehicle . There are many regulations that govern the use of bumper numbers . These regulations serve to standardize markings across the army in order to improve efficiency and ensure markings add to combat readiness . The appearance of bumper numbers are a quick and representative sampling of the maintenance status of a unit . Proficiency in marking vehicles is an excellent indicator of deeper and more substantial efficacy of a unit . Bumper number also serve to provide a quick reference for identification and minimize confusion in the fog of war . Applicable Army Regulations . Army Technical Bulletin 43 - 0209 , " Color , Marking , and Camouflage Painting of Military Vehicles , Construction Equipment and Materials Handling Equipment " , standardizes how vehicle bumper numbers are applied . The markings are divided into four positions . Positions 1 and 2 are applied on the left , while positions 3 and 4 are applied on the right . The positions identify Anything beyond this policy such as assigning a specific number against a specific unit position is a matter of unit standard operating procedure . However , the number six has traditionally been associated with the commander of the element . For example , a Humvee assigned to the commander of Charlie Company would be designated " C06 , " while the 1st Platoon , Charlie Company ' s command vehicle would be " C16 , " 2nd Platoon would be " C26 , " etc . Army Technical Bulletin 43 - 0139 , " Painting and Instructions for Army Materiel " , gives information about applying ID markings over camouflage colors . Black lettering must be used over brown or green paint , green lettering over black paint , and brown lettering over white or tan paint . Army Regulation 750 - 1 , " Army Materiel Maintenance Policy " , allows MACOM commanders to conceal bumper numbers in tactical conditions . Overseas commanders may comply with international agreements regarding vehicle bumper numbers . That ’ s why some overseas commands paint solid light color rectangular boxes as the background for vehicle bumper numbers .

AN / MPN - 14K Mobile Ground Approach System The AN / MPN - 14K Mobile Ground Approach System can be configured as a complete Radar Approach Control ( RAPCON ) or Ground Controlled Approach ( GCA ) facility . The radar unit is used by air traffic controllers to identify , sequence , and separate participating aircraft , provide final approach guidance through air defense corridors and zones , and coordinate ID and intent with local air defense units at assigned airports and air bases . These services can be provided in all types of weather . The radar unit is capable of identifying aircraft using secondary radar up to a radius and primary radar coverage to . The PAR provides both azimuth and elevation information from 15 NM to touchdown . Both the PAR and ASR can be used as final approach aids . The unit has three ASR display indicators and one PAR indicator located in the operations shelter , and one each ASR and PAR indicator located in the maintenance shelter . Complete operations are conducted from the operations trailer . The system is limited to a single runway but has the capability of providing opposite direction runway operations with the aid of a transportable turntable .

Europa Jeep The Europa Jeep was an abandoned , multinational military vehicle project . During the 1960s , several European governments began cooperating on development of a vehicle known as the Europa Jeep , a lightweight , amphibious four wheel drive vehicle that could be mass - produced for use by various national military and government groups . Development of the vehicle proved time consuming , however , and by 1979 the project had been abandoned . The German government was in need of a limited number of light , inexpensive , durable transport vehicles that could fulfill their basic needs while the Europa Jeep was being developed and put into production . Volkswagen was instead instructed by the German government to create the Volkswagen 181 . After the abandonment of the Europa Jeep a number of NATO countries also adopted the 181 .
