DSB class MR. The class MR and class MRD are classes of diesel multiple units (DMUs) built for the Danish State Railways (DSB). Delivered between 1978 and 1985, they have seen use primarily in regional passenger service. A total of 97 trainsets were built, initially by Waggonfabrik Uerdingen and later Scandia.

The class MR is an adaptation of the German class 628.0 and was first delivered in 1978. The trains were initially coupled as MR–MR carriages back-to-back. Starting in 1981, the class MRD was introduced to better accommodate passengers' luggage, and from then on the MR–MRD formation has been used. The trainsets can run in multiple, with up to five carriage pairs in a train having been used.

In 2003, Arriva took over operation of several branch lines in Jutland from DSB, and for this purpose rented 39 MR–MRD trainsets from DSB. 24 of these trains were returned to DSB in 2004–2005, and the remaining 15 in 2010. In addition, 13 MR–MRD trainsets were sold to Arriva in Poland in 2007–08. As of 2016, many of the MR/MRDs have been retired, while two trainsets are preserved by the Danish Railway Museum.

Squadron code. A squadron code is a marking used on a military aircraft to visually identify the squadron that it is assigned to.

Squadron codes of the World War II era, notably for Royal Air Force (RAF) and United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) aircraft operating in Europe, typically consisted of two characters (commonly two letters; sometimes a letter and a number) to denote the squadron, plus a third character to identify a specific aircraft and serve as its call sign. In general, when an aircraft was lost or withdrawn from use, its call sign was applied to its replacement or another aircraft.

Wings of Change. Wings of Change is an Austrian aircraft manufacturer based in Fulpmes, founded by Markus Gründhammer. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of paragliders in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft.

By 2003 the company had a range of gliders in their line including the Chinhook Bi two-place tandem, the  intermediate Taifun and Twister, plus the performance Tsunami.

Reviewer Noel Bertrand said of the company in a 2003 profile, "Markus Gründhammer still manages to make the safest paragliders without losing anything in performance."

The company's 2011 and later line includes gliders with such names as the Deathblade, Predator and Psychohammer.

Designer Gründhammer said of his Deathblade paraglider, a glider with an aspect ratio of 13.01:1, wing with 113 cells and a top speed of , "finally, a wing that meets my expectations of performance and flying qualities and equally challenges my skills. Some guys need a Ferrari. As for me, I build my own paragliders in order to advance as a test pilot and also on a personal scale. To me, the motivation of finding ever new dimensions and testing out the limits of feasibility means developing mental strength and feeling 'pure life'."

The company also builds the Skyman line of lightweight mountain gliders for activities such as bivouac flying.

PNA Thompson (GC-26). PNA Thompson (GC-26) is a Mantilla-class patrol boat of the Argentine Naval Prefecture, built at the Empresa Nacional Bazán shipyards and commissioned in 1983. The vessel is named after Martín Jacobo Thompson, an Argentine naval officer during the Independence War, and first Harbourmaster of Buenos Aires; she is the first PNA ship with this name.

Design 
Thompson is one of five Mantilla-class patrol boats ordered by the Argentine Naval Prefecture (PNA) in 1981, corresponding to the coast guard cutter “Halcon II” type, designed and build by the Spanish Empresa Nacional Bazán shipyard. The design is optimised for long range open seas patrols, for prolonged periods of time away from port.

Thompson has a steel hull and superstructure, with a single mast atop, behind the bridge. She is powered by two Bazán-MTU 16V-956-TB91 marine diesel engines of 2500 kW each (maximum intermittent power 3000 kW) totalling to 7,500 horsepower, driving two Variable-pitch propellers; with a maximum speed of 21.5kn. The design has a maximum range of 5,000 nautical miles at a cruise speed of 16kn.

She has three electrical generators of 185Kva each, powering a varied array of systems: controls and communications system that integrates with other PNA air and surface assets; navigation radar; echosound; direction finder; and helicopter navigation control.
Thompson is equipped with two water cannons for firefighting, anti-contamination gear, active stabilizers and a retractable hangar and landing pad with support facilities for an Alouette-sized helicopter. She is armed with a single 40mm L/70 Bofors dual-purpose autocannon in a position at the front of the bridge.

History 

Thompson was ordered by the Argentine Naval Prefecture (PNA) in 1980 as part of the five-ship Mantilla-class, designed to fill Argentina's need for a deep water coast guard. composed by the patrol boats GC-24 to GC-28. She was built in 1981-83 by the Spanish Empresa Nacional Bazán shipyard. She was launched in December 1981, completed in June 1983, and left El Ferrol, Spain, on 18 August 1983, arriving in Buenos Aires later that month. She was commissioned on 26 August 1983 and assigned to the Coast Guard Service ( Servicio de Buques Guardacostas}).

In 1986 she was assigned to the “Prefectura de Mar del Plata” based in Mar del Plata.

Service  
On 14 June 2002, the patrol ship Thompson shot three times without warning at a Russian fishing vessel Odoevsk. Argentines claimed that Russians were fishing squid in the economic zone of this country.
