The ONLY flying Lockheed Hudson left anywhere in the world. Just think about that for a minute. Wow!
Operated by the Airforce Heritage Squadron and housed at the Temora Aviation Museum, A16-112 saw intense combat in New Guinea during the battle of Milne Bay and the Dutch East Indies. This aircraft is painted to replicate this famous livery
Bewegen in de late ochtend lijkt goed te zijn voor de gezondheid, met name voor het hart en de stemming. „Met name voor ouderen kan dit gezondheidsvoordelen opleveren.”

DEN HAAG (ANP) - De man die donderdagmiddag is aangehouden na een verdachte situatie bij het stadhuis in Den Haag zei dat hij een bom bij zich had. Dat meldt de politie. Het gaat om een 28-jarige Hagenaar. Er zijn geen explosieven bij hem aangetroffen.
De man liep het stadhuis in met een rugzak en zei daar tegen de beveiliging dat hij een bom bij zich had. Daarop is besloten het stadhuis en de omliggende gebouwen en straten te ontruimen, meldt de politie. De Dienst Speciale Interventies en onderhandelaren gingen met de man in gesprek en daar werkte hij volgens de politie goed aan mee. Het gaat volgens een woordvoerder die bij de politie bekend is als een man met onbegrepen gedrag.
Aanhoudende uitbreidingen van illegale nederzettingen, onderdrukking van Palestijnen en nog hardere aanvallen op Libanon: Israël weet van geen wijken of ophouden. Voor het Kabinet is het nu echter genoeg geweest: “Wij veroordelen het Israelisch geweld ten strengste met een nieuwe order aan geavanceerde wapensystemen”, zegt minister van Defensie Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius.
“We hebben het onze Israëlische bondgenoten heel duidelijk gemaakt”, stelt Yesilgoz: “We zeiden: ‘De bombardementen in Libanon waarbij ook doden vallen moeten nú ophouden, en wij willen graag een nieuwe ronde drones, munitie en AI-systemen van jullie overnemen.’ Dat kwam echt wel even binnen bij ze.”

Special report: Allegations of sexism, racism and expenses fiddling are flying in US courts, drawing in leading figures in motor racing and some famous names in music. But the precise role of Peter de Putron, a Jersey-based billionaire, is one of the most intriguing subjects
On the track, the Williams Formula One team are attempting to revive former glories through their talented driving team of Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz and the team principal, James Vowles.
Away from the track, the team and their parent company, Dorilton, are embroiled in a messy dispute with a former executive, Claudia Schwarz, who was dismissed in 2022. In court filings she alleges she was fired after raising concerns about sexism towards her and racism, with claims drawing in Lewis Hamilton’s foundation and the artists Wyclef Jean and Shaggy. The ultimate ownership of the Williams team is also questioned by the former executive, who makes a hotly contested claim that the team are controlled by Peter de Putron, a billionaire based in Jersey with close links to the Conservative party.

The quintet add shoegaze, country and 50s rock’n’roll to their core indie-punk sound, resulting in songs that offset lyrical bleakness with gleeful, uplifting music
Iceage have always seemed like a band in a state of constant development. You might say that’s understandable, given the Danish musicians were in their teens when their debut album New Brigade was released in 2011: if you don’t change between the age of 18 and your early 30s, you’re probably in trouble. But rock music isn’t real life, and a less adventurous band might have been minded to stick with a good thing, given the reception New Brigade was afforded. Twenty-four minutes of hardcore blended with noisy Birthday Party-esque post-punk and a sizeable pinch of gothic gloom, it was praised so vociferously that the praise itself provoked heated debate, as claims any one band are the “saviours” of an entire genre are wont to do, particularly when said genre is punk.
Iceage seemed entirely unbothered about any ensuing weight of expectation. If they didn’t exactly sound like a completely different band on 2014’s Plowing Into the Field of Love, they were still doing things you would never have imagined the authors of New Brigade doing: piano ballads, country-rock and, on Abundant Living, attempting to join the dots between Howlin’ Wolf’s Smokestack Lightning and the ramshackle sound of frontman Elias Rønnenfelt’s favourites the Pogues. In 2018, Beyondless offered Dexys-style horns, New Orleans jazz and a track that sounded like mid-80s U2 equipped with a string section. By 2021’s Seek Shelter, they had a gospel choir on board and mixed anthemic songs – imagine Oasis mired in angst, gloom and distortion – with tracks that interpolated the Carter Family’s Can the Circle Be Unbroken? or bore the influence of French chanson.
