Sorry no PEARL map on DLS

message for Seeseeme,Boco and Titaniclover
bonsoir,
I'm sorry but but this Pearl Harbor map will never make it to the DLS.
It contains a lot of items that are not on the DLS (it's the choice of the people who made those items).
But you can find most of these on personal sites. As a simple user I must respect their choice.

Specially for Seeseeme:
On the other hand, as far as the guns on rail I've shown on my screens of Fort Kamehameha are concerned, they are on the DLS.
The person who made them is Bendorsey (There's even the German SKL45).
You can find also à 9,2inch railgun by DECAPOD. on the DLS.
A bientôt

I understand perfectly. Perhaps you could lead us to those sites with links so that we all can enjoy.

Thanks for the feed back. I have those guns as well.

I was actually referring to some mortars I saw in the Philippines and they where quite different and very large. When the Japanese took over the Philippines they had to take an island at the entrance to the Harbour leading to Manila, this was controlled by the US and was home to many "important" people such as General MacArthur (Hope I spelt this right). They had 2 mortar batteries there as well as other very large guns a little similar to Bendorseys guns. These guns though faced out to sea and the Japanese came from behind meaning they where of no use. The two Mortar Batteries where though. When I went to the island is was just over 30 minutes by a high speed boat so it was some distance from Manila. The Japanese hit one and when it was blown up there where widows IN Manila damaged. So you can imagine what they where like.

These guns would not really be suited to Peal Harbour though, just thought you may be interested in them.

The island and other WWII sites there where a very moving site to visit and shows what the Philippines, US and the Japanese forces went through. The largest WWII US cemetery outside the US is located in Manila.

P.S. Another member and I are working on another US Airfield in Australia which at the time was the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.

Another PS I suppose. I love your work and also dreddmans, it is excellent. The screenshots are brilliant.

Congratulations to both of you, some amazing creations.

FORT DRUM

Bonsoir Craig,
I think you must be referring to Fort Drum, The Concrete Battleship of Manilla with its 2X 14" guns turrets.

Concerning the US soldiers cemetery in Manilla, I think it's the largest with more than 17000 graves.
The one in St Laurent sur Mer in Normandy that I know quite well has exactly 9387 graves including 4 women.(It's the one you can see in the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan).

see on the French television Monday

For my Australian friends,
Last time Lille 19:10 - Monday, May 26th, 2008 Fromelles:
400 bodies of Australian fighters to dig up
To Fromelles, in Weppes (metropolis of Lille, FRANCE) an international research team searches minutely a field since this Monday morning.
They should bring to light a common grave of four hundred Australian fighters fallen during the battle of July 19th and 20th, 1916.
it would then be one of more important decouvertes of this type in France since the Second World war.
The searches(excavations) began on Tuesday morning. 400 soldiers of the first war could be buried there.
The exploration site is forbidden to the public. The journalists can approach only in account-drop.
Fromelles is the first assault of the Australian troops on the European ground, and is considered as the darkest day in the history of the country.
In a single attack, the troops lose 5.000 men, almost all mown(pinched) in the no-mans-land by the posts of machine guns of gerrys.
Some units which will manage to achieve clear-cut German or which will find a refuge in shell-holes preassignors these will not like very for a long time,
for lack of ammunition and of raise.
it will be fast dislodged by German or will sound the retreat in the dark night.
Fromelles ends for the allies in a complete defeat, both on the plan tactics and strategic.

Hi Coutumariee and others,

The island I was referring to is called Corregidor, and it was the main one at the entrance to the Harbour. I did see others similar to the one shown above. Corregidor was the main one with not only guns but soldiers as well. One barracks was a mile long and was named as such. The island had a Tunnel system that contained many others smaller tunnels for a Hospital, troops, munitions, the President of the Philippines and General MacAarthur. It was from this island that General MacAarthur (I do hope I am spelling his name correctly) left to go to Australia with the famous saying "we shall return" and so they did. Corregidor was the first island they had to take to gain control of the Philippines.

When I went to the cemetery in Manila (its actually in a Army base) I was taken back by all the graves and the amazing tribute area to the fallen. I found a plaque which showed all US graves around the world. The one in Manila is the second largest in the world with the one in the largest in the US. According to the WWII battles though it seems to be the largest WWII US cemetery of the US. The largest (in the US) had graves from WWI, the Koren War, Vietnam and other conflicts.

This is the mortar I was referring to (found this one the web);

http://corregidorisland.com/mortar.jpg

BTW Corregidor was 48km from Manila.

The tunnel system;

http://corregidorisland.com/tunnel02mini.jpg

For the above post, there has been a lot of comment about the work on our TV etc. One comment I heard though that I though I was hearing things was during WWI Australia had a population of 5 million people and we sent 500,000 troops into Battle. Per head of population that seems a lot. I certainly hope this site uncovers those who died in this conflict and that suitable tributes are made for the area and the families in Australia and elsewhere. It was a very sad day in the history of our Military forces in Europe.

Another point (for me) over recent months there has been a lot of TV stories about conflicts in Europe by Australian troops in both WWI and WWII. Many of these stories occurred around our ANZAC Day celebrations when we remember those who fought (and died) for the way we now live. One moving thing (to me) is that so many places in Europe still remember the sacrifices made by Australian troops.

May they Rest in Peace.

Craig

P.S. sorry if this sounds like a bit of waffle and not part of this thread, but such history should not be lost.

Craig the sheds are hangers by Vulcan Foundry Trainz 1.3 I belive should be on dls I have anyway and could send if you cant find it

Hi Dreddman,

Yes please (for those hangars). I'm the 'other half' of the "Narrandera_Tocumwal Branch Line" Project. Craig & my 'little baby'.

I am officially now 'settled' back home in Oz after 20 years in NZ.
Now based in Coffs Harbour. Yep I've met Scott & will catch up with him again soon.
My NZ stuff finally arrived last week after nearly a third of a year to make the five-week door-to-door journey. Amongst that was my much-travelled PC, with a now-deadened new 200Gb cloned copy of my "C:" drive. the original "C:" drive I'd brought over with me back in January. However that had died after a couple of months.
So off to the nice man at the PC repair shop, who kindly sold me a nice shiny new 160Gb drive, after pursuading all my original data to 'come clean', & relocate to the nice new expensive replacement "C:" drive.
Considering the years of research data etc that was in serious jeopardy of total loss (both the "C:" drive & backup having failed), I guess a small price to pay. Yes I had some stuff backed up on DVDs & even online, but a heap of stuff (including silly things like my Google Earth personal layout file!) was not backed up.
So a lesson learnt.
Apologies for the waffles. Anyone got some Maple Syrup??.
(Oh that's right!. There's some on the DLS!):hehe:

Dreddman, have you built & released those fine sailing ships etc?.

 

[WCL]

Kinda reminds me of FS with all these B17 pictures

dreddman,

I am missing a Hornsound from your pack kuid 13013:54131000.

Have you found that copy of those hangers?

Shame all these creations will not be on the DLS, but we can still have fun at home :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

Craig

 

[dreddman]

Saturday, December 6, 1941

Bonsoir,
Saturday, December 6, 1941. US Navy base of Pearl Harbor.
Battleship Pennsylvania is in process of repair in drydock n°1

Destroyers Dowes and Cassin are at its side in drydock n°2.

3 auxiliary hight speed mine sweeepers

There was an accident back in November, this cargo ship hit the reef at the entrance of the road.

At the base, military gear is being unloaded. For instance, there is a train full of Sherman tanks.

I will show you the last screenshots tomorrow and especially those of Battleship Row just before the Japanese strike.
A bientôt

Wow....My Grandpa would love to see this route.......Very nice

 

[coutumariee]

Last hours before the attack

Bonsoir,
At Pearl Harbor, there were seven mighty battleships moored along the area known as Battleship Row
located on the southeast shore of Ford Island.
An eighth battleship.the USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) was in dry dock across the channel.

Northeastward, Battle Force flagship California was next, moored at F-3.

Then came two pairs, moored side by side: Maryland with Oklahoma outboard, and Tennessee with West Virginia outboard.
Astern of Tennessee lay Arizona, which had the repair ship Vestal alongside.

Last in line was USS Nevada, by herself at quay F-8.
The Fleet flagship, Pennsylvania, was also in Pearl Harbor, drydocked at the nearby Navy Yard.

Tomorrow screenshots of december 7, 1941 ,descent into infamy.
A bientôt
