    USS Montgomery County (LST-1041) was an LST-542-class tank landing ship built for the United States Navy during World War II. Named after counties in 18 U.S. states, she was the only U.S. Naval vessel to bear the name.
    Originally laid down as LST-1041 by the Dravo Corporation of Neville Island, Pennsylvania on 12 November 1944; launched on 20 January 1945, sponsored by Mrs. N. L. Gibson; ferried down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans; and commissioned on 19 February 1945.

    The ÖBB Class 1043 is a class of thyristor-controlled universal electric locomotives operated initially by the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB). The class was derived from the Class Rc of the Statens Järnvägar (SJ) of Sweden.
    The first three members of the class entered service with the ÖBB in 1971, and the remaining seven followed later. One member of the class was subsequently withdrawn from service, due to irreparable accident damage. The other nine units were sold in 2001 to the Swedish company Tågåkeriet i Bergslagen AB (TÅGAB), and returned to Sweden.

    In today's recording and sound reinforcement environments, the need for multiple channels of high quality, easy to use compression is growing rapidly. The new dbx® 1046 by Harman, is designed to provide the audio professional with just that: 4 channels of great sounding dbx compression for a variety of applications. Incorporating the industry standard dbx designs and the latest available manufacturing techniques, the dbx 1046 provides pristine sonic quality with that classic dbx sound.

    The 1046 provides 4 channels of smooth classic dbx OverEasy® or Hard Knee compression that are perfectly suited for use on individual tracks of your multitrack recorder, and in virtually all applications the separate channels can be individually interfaced and used for entirely independent purposes. Additionally the newly developed PeakStopPlus™ is ideal for protecting your system from the oppressive peaks that can take out valuable drivers in your sound reinforcement rig or studio monitors.


    Used to live in Ancaster Crescent, and went to school at Malden Manor Junior School

    See the 2 ships hit by U-1051 - View the 1 war patrol


    After U-1051 torpedoed HMS Manners, she was located by HMS Bentinck and attacked with depth charges, soon thereafter joined by HMS Aylmer and HMS Calder. The boat was forced to surface, came under fire by the frigates and sank after being rammed by HMS Aylmer.

    The Pacom 1057 Controller (64-door) is an excellent choice for larger-scale access control systems. With onboard ethernet and intelligent alarm intrusion functions, this device is a fully integrated network-enabled security panel. It can operate as standalone for smaller buildings, or as part of a fully integrated access control system for larger buildings or multi-site applications.

    Over to you for post nbr 1200 - this seems to be a recurring theme whereby we play till its time for your "heads under blankets beaks under wings time.....

    Mars One announced Monday (Dec. 30) that it has picked 1,058 aspiring spaceflyers to move on to the next round in its search for the first humans to live and die on the Red Planet.

    The Netherlands-based nonprofit wants to start launching groups of four on one-way trips to Mars by 2023, with the long-term goal of creating the first permanent settlement on Mars. More than 200,000 people applied for a spot on Mars One's list of future colonists by the time the initial application window closed on Aug. 31. The only requirement to apply was to be over age 18. Those who get to move on to the next, more rigorous selection phase were notified by email.

    What a bunch of nutters ! Living up there with presumably only Mars Bars to eat........
