Story
The Latin American island nation of Isla Trueno suffers under a tyrannical ruler and as Marine sniper Sgt. Tyler Wells, you have been sent on a covert mission deep into its jungles to aid the rebellion, one head shot at a time. Outfitted in a ghillie suit that renders you virtually invisible in the dense foliage, you must stalk an enemy whose knowledge of the terrain is superior to your own. Can you deal crippling blows to the dictatorship as a top-ranked sniper? Are you tough enough to succeed in a close quarter battle as a member of a hard charging Delta Force assault team hell-bent on liberating the oppressed nation?
Gameplay
Sniper: Ghost Warrior is a single player first-person tactical shooter that features game mechanics based primarily on realistic covert actions of a military sniper. Combat is mission-based and centers on extended stealth gameplay that challenges players with a variety of strategic and tactical choices that affect how they approach their objectives and eliminate their targets. Sniper gameplay is designed to be realistic, with the player required to cooperate with their AI spotter for pinpointing of targets, maintain heart beat and breathing control—especially after running—for maximum accuracy and performance and develop expertise with four types of sniping rifles: AS50, MSG90, SR25 and SVD Dragunov. Players in sniping situations also must deal with conditions such as wind, fog and rain that will test even the most skilled of shooters. Additional features include multiplayer support, a slow-motion Bullet Cam Mode for viewing kills, an arsenal of explosive weaponry like Claymore mines and C4 explosives to defend your perimeter when and/if your position is discovered or to demolish enemy outposts, melee weapons like throwing knives for close, quiet kills and the additional ability to play as a hard-charging assault team member in up-close and personal firefights.

History of Andrews Field (Great Saling)
USAAF Station 485

The bombing of Pearl Harbor marked the entry of the United States of America into the Second World War and drew her into the European conflict.

With most of continental Europe under German occupation the only obvious way to take the war to the enemy was going to be by air power. To accommodate the anticipated influx of American aircraft, the already frantic wartime airfield expansion programme would need to be further extended, and so commenced the final major airfield construction period of World War Two in the United Kingdom.

In mid-1942, help with airfield building came to England in the form of the US Army’s Aviation Engineer Battalions who were to construct a total of 14 airfields as part of the programme code named "Bolero". All were "war duration only" and built to Class `A’ bomber airfield standard. Of these 14 sites, no fewer than eight were in the county of Essex.

The village of Great Saling is about a mile north of the A120, four miles east of Braintree. Even with the limited post-war development, the Great in the name is rather a misnomer; blink as you drive through and you’ll miss it. The impact that 800 Americans of the 819th Aviation Engineer Battalion had on the population of about 250 when they arrived in July 1942 must have been enormous. Having settled into their tented camp, the 819th commenced preliminary work almost immediately.

Before the main construction could start, the tiny lane from the A120 to the village had to be reconstructed to allow heavy vehicles access to the village from both the A120 and the railway station at Rayne. (When out searching for remains of old airfields in country areas, it is often seen that widened roads with kerbing give a clue to the whereabouts of an airfield site.) During the remainder of the war the railway station was going to handle more freight and probably more passengers than in all of its previous history.

As work on the airfield progressed familiar landmarks disappeared. Almost 23 acres of mature oak trees were felled and Muchmores Farm (marked on the plan near the southem T2 hangar) and its associated outbuildings demolished. Work went on 24 hours a day in twelve-hour shifts. Some of the local populace were inconvenienced when roads on the westem end of the airfield site were closed and access between the villages of Stebbing and Great Saling was via lengthy diversions.

On 10th March 1943 the 819th were joined by the 816th who had been actively constructing the airfield at Gosfield. For some reason not apparently recorded, it was decided that Great Saling airfield should be the first completed by the Americans in England. The airfield was opened on April 24th and although the ground echelon of the 96th Bombardment Group (8th Air Force) moved in on May 13th, the airfield did not reach operational status until a week later on the 20th. The air echelon of the 96th flew their B-17F Fortresses in from Grafton Underwood on May 27th.

The airfield assumed the familiar shape associated with all Class A airfields. The main runway was 6,300 feet in length (300 feet longer than normal) and the two subsidiary runways, 4,200 feet each. 50 loop or spectacle aircraft hardstandings were provided plus an additional pan at the firing-in butts. Hangarage consisted of two T2s. Most of the buildings on the dispersed living sites spread out to the east of the airfield (with Great Saling village sandwiched in between) were of the ubiquitous Nissen hutting, in which up to 2,800 personnel could be accommodated. The Sick Quarters Site was actually constructed right in the village.

So why Andrews Field? US Army Air Corps airfields within the United States were usually named after people with aviation connections, e.g: Wright Field was named after the Wright Brothers. (Wright Field was absorbed into the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Lt. Frank Patterson was killed during the first tests of synchronized machinegun firing in 1918.) On May 2lst, the day after being declared operational, Great Saling claimed another first; it became the only named US airfield in the United Kingdom – Andrews Field.

Lieutenant General Frank M. Andrews was a pioneer exponent of air power and was destined to become a very high ranking figure in the history of the Second World War. He had already been chosen to succeed General Eisenhower when Fate decided otherwise: On May 3rd 1943, Andrews took off in a B-24 Liberator from Bovingdon on a trip back to the United States. A weather check would have meant a landing at Prestwick, but it seems the crew were confident that this was unnecessary. By the time the aircraft reached

Here I have a model that I have produced of very, very modern traffic car. It is a Vauxhall Insignia demo patrol car, this vehicle is based around a demo car that is going round the country for different police forces to test the vehicle and see if they want them on their traffic fleets. The model comes with a very modern ‘yellow’ frontage including yellow flicks on the front bumper and yellow wings on the bonnet. The model also has full battenburg and yellow uprights down both sides as well as full chevrons across the rear of the vehicle and police wording. The model has a clear whelen liberty type lightbar and also has an aerial on the roof. The model comes with vauxhall grilles, right hand drive dash and even a tax disk.

A very different and a very modern model for any police collection.

Revealing extensive scientific evidence that the global warming crisis is far worse than officially indicated, this meticulously documented call-to-action argues that the planet is almost at the point of no return. From large ice sheets disintegrating and devastating losses of species to the promise that sea levels will rise more than 16 feet this century, this study shows that it is no longer a case of how much more can be “safely” emitted but whether emissions can be stopped completely before the Earth’s climate is beyond human restoration. Demonstrating that these imperatives are incompatible with politics and a “business as usual” attitude, this survey illustrates how the environment faces a sustainability emergency that urgently requires a clear break from failure-inducing compromise.
