Flying the VC-10 with the Royal Air Force
VISUAL APPROACH IMAGES
June 2007 - October 2009
This story owes a great deal to two outstanding Royal Air Force Officers at RAF Brize Norton. Without their support, generosity and hard work on my behalf none of this would ever have happened.
Between 2007 and 2009 I was involved in an civilian ATC liaison programme with RAF 101 Squadron which gave a number of rare opportunities to experience an air-to-air refuelling mission onboard the units tanker airplanes based at RAF Brize Norton. It was an immersive and valuable insight into the world of military operations with the Royal Air Force. I was additionally fortunate - the action took place aboard my favourite airliner of all time, the wonderfully charismatic Vickers VC-10.

Vickers built a total of 54 VC-10s between June 1962 and February 1970. 14 were originally delivered to the Royal Air Force (RAF) as new airframes under an original purchase agreement between 1966 and 1968. In later years, the RAF subsequently sourced a further 24 airframes from airline operators who were retiring their fleets and replacing the VC-10 with newer equipment. The majority of the former British Airways (BOAC) fleet, along with those airframes formerly with Gulf Air and East African Airways, were acquired by the RAF. Most were subsequently modified for military service, with just a handful being cannibalised for spares. A total of 28 airplanes actually saw service with the RAF, with all the airframes eventually being modified to either C MK1 K, K MK2, K MK3 or K MK4 standard to provide air to air refuelling capability. A further 10 were utilised for parts to keep the active fleet airworthy. In its various transport and tanker roles the airplane served the RAF for a total of 47 years between July 1966 and September 2013.
The first Vickers VC-10 delivered to the RAF in July 1966 was XR806. The airplane was photographed at Bournemouth-Hurn in November 1995 during the process of being converted to a C MK1 K tanker. The most noticeable features are the two underwing refuelling pods installed by FRA Limited - all the other modifications such as extra fuel lines, pumps and the strengthening of the outer wing structure are not apparent externally. XR806 was re-delivered to 10 Squadron as a C MK1 K in February 1996.
ZA143 Vickers VC-10 K MK2 on the flight line at RAF Brize Norton October 30th 1991. The nose art displayed relates to the RAF role during hostilities following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, and subsequent military action during operation "Desert Storm" to liberate Kuwait in 1991. The "petrol pump" logos represent the number of AAR missions this VC-10 undertook during the campaign. The airplane still wears the post-modification Hemp colours which were applied during the tanker conversion programme after the airframe was acquired from British Airways. ZA143 never wore the later Barley Grey scheme that graced many others in the squadron - the airframe was retired in August 1998 and scrapped in 2001.
October 30th 1991 was our first mission with Royal Air Force 101 squadron on board Vickers VC-10 K MK2 ZA143. This was a long time before the liaison programme was initiated but with patience AAR observation trips were possible. However, it was very dependant on tasking, as hostilities continued in the Middle East and this always meant that sorties could be cancelled or changed at short notice. It was also towards the end of the slide film era and combined with some less than optically perfect glazing, it was not ideal conditions for achieving high quality images. Never the less the sight of RAF 4 Squadron Harrier GR7s from RAF Gutersloh as our first receivers was an impressive sight.
Operating with the call sign "02F46", we were later joined by RAF Tornado F3s of 5 Squadron from RAF Connigsby. The F3 is the air defence interceptor version of the Tornado and here displays clean lines, devoid of external armaments such as Sidewinder or Skyflash missiles.
The Royal Air Force aqquired the VC-10 as a tactical and strategic asset for transporting troops and equipment, VIP duties and medical/casualty evacuation. The tanking roles only evolved later in the airplanes life when the RAF needed to replace its ageing Victor and Valiant tanker fleets (those airframes themselves had originally been designed as bombers and later converted to the tanking role). Ex-commercial airline airframes were the first to be converted, with the RAFs original C1 models only converted towards the end of the programme which eventually saw all the operational RAF VC-10s modified to provide AAR (air to air refuelling) capability.
The RAF VC-10s were equipped with either two or three AAR hoses. The C MK1 K was a conversion from the RAFs own new-build VC-10 C1 airframes, and was fitted with two pods under the wings from which hose and drogue refuelling lines could be trailed. The MK1s were not fitted with the additional fuel tanks in the cabin - the full seated interior and associated personnel transport capability was retained. The idea was that the MK1 would only be used as a last resort when no other AAR assets were available. The K MK2, MK3 and MK4 airfames were specific tanker conversions from various re-built ex-airline airframes. These conversions added a centreline hose and drum unit (HDU - often referred to as the ''hoodoo'') to facilitate a third refuelling point. The MK2 and MK3 airframes were also fitted with extra fuel tanks in the cabin mounted on a strengthened floor, though the MK4s were not. The former East African Airways MK3 version was ultimately the most capable of the VC-10 AAR platforms, being based on a ''Super'' airframe with a long fatigue life, extra cabin tanks, a fin tank and 3 AAR hoses. It was these MK3 airplanes that remained in service with the RAF until the very end, when the type was retired in September 2013.
ZA150 Vickers VC-10 K MK3 with the centreline hose deployed from the centre line HDU prior to commencing AAR with an RAF C130 Hercules over the North Sea on October 1st 2009. This airplane was the last of 54 VC-10s built and was originally delivered to East African Airways in February 1970. It is now preserved at Dunsfold Airfield as part of the Brooklands Museum collection.
Air to air refuelling is a fine art, and the size, speed and performance differences between these two types make it all the more challenging. This image was shot from VC10 C1 K XV106 operating as TARTAN41 as part of a 2 ship formation.
XV104 Vickers VC-10 C MK1 K is seen here during an AAR mission refuelling RAF Tornados on June 4th 2007. A 15 Squadron Tornado GR4 is hooked up to the port wing hose of Vickers VC-10 K MK3 ZA150 operating as TARTAN 11. XV104 was carrying a delegation of high ranking officials from the Pakistan Air Force who were tasked with observing the RAFs methods and procedures during their AAR operations.
As well as operational front line aircraft such as the Tornado and Typhoon, the VC-10 also provided AAR for larger types in RAF service. Regular sorties conducted AAR tasking with the Boeing E-3 Sentry, the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, the Airbus A400 Atlas (which entered service shortly before the VC-10 was withdrawn) and also with other VC-10s. On this particular sortie, the pilot officer under training is practicing alignment behind another VC-10 tanker as a two ship formation. The lead airplane is XV104, a C MK1 K model which does not have the centreline HDU and therefore cannot engage our airplane. However the object of this exercise is to demonstrate a pilots ability to maintain station safely using gentle throttle and flight control inputs before they progress to actual AAR engagement. Markings and lights on the underside of the lead airplane provide visual cues to aid positioning under the watchful eye of a qualified instructor in the left seat. Although for RAF tanker crews this is an almost daily routine for which they are highly trained and suitably qualified, to a civilian observer this is a truly amazing experience. The two airplanes weigh in excess of 300,000 lbs each when on a typical sortie and whilst flying in formation or performing AAR, and are rarely more than a couple of hundred feet part at any time. The view from the jump seat as seen here was truly unforgettable.
May 21st 2009 proved to be one of the most diverse and busiest AAR missions of the whole programme. On board VC-10 K MK3 ZA149, operating as TARTAN43, over the 4 hours of the sortie, receivers included Boeing E-3D Sentry ZH105 from 23 Squadron RAF Waddington.
From the flight engineers station the receivers can be monitored by a CCTV camera mounted under the belly. Here the E-3D can be seen hooked up to the centreline hose in the turn at the end of the racetrack air refuelling pattern.
As part of the NATO commitment there is regular participation from other member air forces during 101 Squadrons AAR sorties. Here two Armee De l'Air Dassault Mirage F1CRs from 112 Squadron take on fuel from VC-10 K MK3 ZA149 over the southwestern approaches. The F1CR is the reconnaissance version of the Mirage F1, and subsequently all Mirage F1 variants were withdrawn from service with the Armee De l'Air in 2014.

Postscript - The Nimrod report
Shot from the cockpit of VC-10 C MK1 K XV106, RAF Tornado F3 ZE342 of 111 Squadron lights the afterburners as it departs after refuelling over the North Sea. This sortie on October 1st 2009 proved to be the last trip as part of what was a very worthwhile programme between NATS and 101 Squadron.
On September 2nd 2006 RAF Hawker Siddeley Nimrod XV230 was lost whilst operating over Afghanistan. The 37 year old airplane experienced an internal fuel leak and subsequent in-flight fire following air to air refuelling whilst on a reconnaissance mission. The airplane exploded and broke up in mid air. All fourteen crew lost their lives. An extensive investigation followed and identified a wide range of safety flaws with both individuals in the chain of command, and within the various parties involved in the airplanes design, production, operation and maintenance. A very interesting and very damning read in itself, the report was finally published on October 28th 2009. Spreading the blame for the accident across many parties, it identified 1,500 faults in the Nimrod - 26 of which were a direct threat to the airplanes safety. Many other failures within the military system all combined to lead to a wide-ranging review of RAF procedures and the safety of flight operations - particularly with the ageing fleets, including the VC-10. Following the fallout from the report and the liabilities inherent in subsequent flight operations, 101 Squadron were given no choice but to restrict future VC-10 flights to essential military personnel only with effect from October 28th 2009. The collaboration between civilian ATC and 10 Squadron came to a sad end.
VC-10 K MK3 ZA147 flares for a touch and go on runway 08 at RAF Brize Norton February 18th 2013
Following the end of the liaison programme, those of us who still admired the VC-10s aerodynamic grace and the howl of its Rolls Royce Conways continued to hang out around the perimeter at RAF Brize Norton to enjoy the airplanes final few years of operations. The type was scheduled for retirement in 2012, although with continuing commitments in the Middle East and delays with the replacement Airbus Voyager programme, this was eventually extended until September 2013.
ZA147 Vickers VC-10 K MK3 landing at RAF Brize Norton in the late afternoon of February 18th 2013 after an AAR mission over the North Sea. It had been a 2 year wait to get this shot. It needed good weather in Oxfordshire but an easterly wind so that the landing direction made it necessary to shoot into the sunset. It also needed a low sun to capture the silhouette, so the airplane had to be recovering around 30 minutes before sunset. In addition it also required the freedom from other commitments, the knowledge that the airplane was flying a mission at the most suitable time of day, and to be able to travel to Brize Norton in good time for the landing. On top of that, the shot had to right first time as it was unlikely those circumstances would be repeated in the remaining 7 months before the few remaining VC-10s were withdrawn from service.
ZA147 Vickers VC-10 K MK3 landing at Bruntingthorpe, Leicestershire on September 25th 2013. This was the last ever flight of a VC-10 - 51 years, 2 months and 27 days after the first VC-10 took to the air.

Are restaurants open in Cyprus in October?
Re: Are restaurants and attractions open in ,id-October? Yes everything is open then – October half term is popular with UK families so most places open until at least then. We have friends who visit Nov and Dec and they say there is still plenty of choice of places to eat and drink.
Does Cyprus close in October?
BEST FOR QUIETER HOLIDAYS April and October are two of Cyprus' quietest months for tourists, but thanks to the Mediterranean climate, the weather's still warm – think temperatures around the mid-twenties mark.
Is Cyprus worth visiting in October?
The best time to visit Cyprus is either side of the peak summer heat, in the months of May, June, September and October. During these months, the temperatures are warm enough for swimming, but not uncomfortably hot. Also, the crowds are much thinner, so it's easier to enjoy the sand, sights and more active pursuits.
Is Cyprus still hot in October?
The temperature in October remains quite hot in Cyprus during October, more specifically in Paphos with highs of around 26.7 ºC and 10 hours of sunshine. The sea temperature is still warm during October, averaging 24 ºC, making it a perfect month for watersports including swimming, diving and snorkelling.
Where should I not go in Cyprus?
What to avoid in Cyprus
Tourist Traps. If you think you'll get to a Mediterranean country to enjoy amazing seafood, you will be disappointed in Cyprus.
Limassol or Paphos Castle. Ok, it's not actually a castle.
Aphrodite's Baths. Where to begin with this one.
Turtle Beach.
Larnaca.
Ayia Napa.
What is the nicest part of Cyprus?
8 Best Cyprus Towns and Resorts
Paphos.
Coral Bay.
Limassol.
Protaras.
Pernera.
Nicosia.
Can you sunbathe in Cyprus in October?
In October the weather in Cyprus is warm and sunny. Many visitors say that the weather in October is perfect, because they can enjoy the sun without the heat, humidity and sweat of summer. At the coastal areas of Cyprus the temperature during day time is 25-35 °C. At nighttime it drops to 15-25°C.
Does it rain in Cyprus in October?
Days are warm but the cooler evenings tell you that summer has already passed. On average there is one to four days of rain during October. Average maximum temperature for October is 27°C on the west coast and 28°C-29°C on the eastern-south coast and inland.
Can you swim in the sea in Cyprus in October?
The warmth The weather is lovely in October – average highs of 26° – and the sea will still be warm enough to swim in. The evenings usually start to get cooler towards the end of October; you'll still be able to sit outside to eat but take a cardigan.
Which is nicer Paphos or Larnaca?
Larnaca is more concentrated in one area than Paphos and has a more manageable, small-town feel than Limassol. Consequently, if you're trying to decide between staying in Larnaca or Ayia Napa, note that the latter is generally better if you would rather stay in an all-inclusive resort.

For those who have sensitive skin, a cream or gel might not do enough to help them have a clean shave without irritation. Although it can be a little expensive to get started using shaving soap, the person will not experience the irritation that occurs with generic shaving creams. They also won't be exposed to some of the chemicals and the aerosol that is used in created the creams.
Shaving cream only goes so far to help a person's skin. When a man suffers from sensitive skin and gets razor bumps when they shave, they may want to consider something more specialized than generic shaving cream. Proraso Shaving Soap for Sensitive Skin is one option a lot of men consider to be the best shaving cream for sensitive skin.
It is specially created to allow them to get a close shave without the irritation. It's actually a shaving soap that has been specially created with natural ingredients so the man can have a closer, more comfortable shave any day. Take a look below to learn more about this shaving soap and how it can help.
Shaving soap is a product many people have been using for quite a few years and was the go-to option before shaving foams or gels were created. It is meant to be used before shaving to help soothe the skin as the person is shaving and ensure they have a close, smooth shave.
It's a hard soap that creates a lather and coats the face to protect it. It also lubricates the skin so it's easier for the razor to be used. It can be used with just about any razor, but those who enjoy shaving with a traditional 34c double edge razor will want a product like this to use.
Why Choose a Shaving Soap Over Shaving Cream or Gel?
As an additional bonus, these products do last a long time and do not have the effect on the environment that aerosol-based shaving creams will have.
Over time, as a person has everything they need and learns how to use the shaving soap properly, they may find they can save money by using this instead of purchasing shaving creams.
The suggested directions tell the person to apply with a shave brush to damp skin. It is a good idea to soak the brush and swirl it on top of the soap to coat the brush with soap. Then, it can be transferred to the person's face and worked into a lather.
The person can then shave as normal, except they won't experience the irritation they use with using generic shaving creams. This process can be a little more time-consuming, but the person will be able to get a closer shave and have less irritation so many people find it worth the extra effort.
This shaving soap is specially created from natural ingredients including oatmeal extract, green tea, and thyme extract. It does not contain any animal ingredients, which means just about anyone can use it.
The oatmeal extra and green tea included in the product protect the skin and help to reduce any inflammation that might be present. It doesn't have any aerosol or harsh chemicals like generic shaving cream will, so it isn't as harmful for the skin and can be used as often as the person needs to shave.
Many people who have tried this really like the product. There are quite a few different products for shaving sensitive skin, but this is one that is highly rated because of how well it works. Many people have found it works better than similar brands because of the ingredients it contains.
A lot of shaving soap reviews also state they enjoy the smell as it is not overpowering and is pleasant. This might not seem too important to many people, but if it's going to be on their skin for a length of time while they prepare it and shave they will want something that has a light, easy smell. The company describes the smell as fresh and fruity, with notes of lime and apple.
Using a shaving soap like this one is a great way for a man to be able to shave as much as they need without worrying about the irritation or razor burn that occurs when they use generic shaving cream.
Once the person learns how to use it, they can easily use it every morning to ensure they look fantastic throughout the day.
There are quite a few other benefits of switching to a shaving soap as well. Many people are enjoying this product and recommend it for anyone who suffers from sensitive skin yet still wants a clean shave every day.
Give it a try today so you can see how much softer and smoother your skin could be after a shave.

Don't be fooled by those happy campaign rallies. Rwandans live in fear.
Rwandan President Paul Kagame, left, greets a crowd of supporters as he arrives for a campaign rally on Monday in Gakenke. (Marco Longari/AFP via Getty Images)
By Fred MUVUNYI
Fred Muvunyi, a former chairman of the Rwanda Media Commission, is an editor at Deutsche Welle, Germany's international broadcaster.
On Friday, Rwandan voters will go to the polls and overwhelmingly reelect Paul Kagame as their president. Kagame himself has said that the result is a foregone conclusion. So where does he get his remarkable self-confidence?
One important clue comes from campaign rallies. Thousands of people, joyously singing and dancing, routinely flock to events staged for the incumbent president by the ruling party. There are two other officially allowed candidates, but almost no one shows up to see them speak.
The stark difference is easily explained. Show up at an opposition rally and you can bet that the authorities will note your presence. Attendance at Kagame's events, by contrast, is expected — since the president has given orders to all local officials to ensure turnout. The key, in both cases, is one simple word: fear. Anyone who doesn't show loyalty to Kagame is considered to be "an enemy of the state."
The supporters of the regime sneer at those who claim that Kagame's popular support is buttressed by intimidation. The president, they say, is genuinely loved by Rwandans for his success in bringing economic growth, reliable health care and a relatively fair court system, all while reducing corruption to levels many other countries would envy. Plus, through sheer force of personality, he has managed to unite the country after the horrific genocide of 1994, in which close to a million Rwandans — overwhelmingly members of the Tutsi minority — were slaughtered in just 100 days.
Kagame's positive achievements are genuine. But they can also be seen as the more palatable side of an all-encompassing system of social control that knows few equals in the world. Rwanda's government, led by Kagame's ruling Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), is a finely meshed organization that reaches down into the smallest villages. Local government officials maintain detailed files on every household, and a dense network of informers keeps track of citizens' behavior and thinking. Visiting foreigners are rarely aware of this reality, but Rwandans know it well. People from my country often use an idiom in our native language of Kinyarwanda that captures it well: "Even the trees are listening," they say.
Rwanda has a long history of intrusive government, but it is the experience of genocide — which was finally brought to an end by the invading RPF, then an insurgent group based in neighboring countries — that has given birth to what can only be described as a form of institutionalized paranoia. Kagame and his comrades in the Tutsi-dominated RPF are only too aware that many members of the majority Hutus were once active participants in mass murder. As a result, the current government tends to view any attempt to question the existing system as subversion at best, and often as a first step to a new genocidal conspiracy at worst.
This mentality is reinforced by Kagame's own background as a former military intelligence officer and rebel leader. During his long years in Ugandan exile, he knew that he and his party would never be able to come to power by peaceful means, and events bore that prediction out. For him, "constructive opposition" is a contradiction in terms. To Kagame and his entourage, criticism always entails a security threat.
Kagame has correspondingly tightened his control of the armed forces. Today, the most respected and outspoken military officers are in prison, exile or dead. To name but one of the most recent examples, Patrick Karegeya, Rwanda's former intelligence chief, was killed in South African exile on Jan. 1, 2014.
But this grim fate is not restricted to former military men. Journalists, independent businessmen and members of the opposition have all faced various degrees of state-sponsored terror. They range from Charles Ingabire, a reporter who was shot to death in Uganda in 2011, to Pasteur Bizimungu, Kagame's predecessor as president, who stepped down in 2000, and was later arrested and sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of embezzlement, inciting ethnic hatred and attempting to form a militia. His defenders say that his real crime was attempting to form his own opposition party. When Rwandans see what can happen to people who once enjoyed power and prestige, they rightly conclude that they are better off keeping their mouths shut.
In 2012, three years before I was forced to leave for an exile of my own, I had the privilege to pay a visit in prison to Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza. In 2010, Ingabire, an outspoken and eloquent woman, had returned to Rwanda from the Netherlands, where she had lived for the previous 17 years, to challenge Kagame. But, as she told me in a voice strikingly subdued, she had failed to reckon with the nature of the Rwandan regime. After four months in Kigali, she was thrown in jail, where she remains today.
Kagame is smart. He knows how to turn his country's dark history to his own advantage. When westerners try to criticize him for his failure to uphold human rights, Kagame points out that their countries either failed to prevent the genocide or actively abetted it, skillfully using their own feelings of guilt to silence them. So far it's been a highly effective strategy. But that doesn't change the reality that Rwanda is a country where fear reigns supreme.

Marian Wacław Bohusz-Szyszko (ur. 15 lutego 1901 w Trokiennikach koło Ostrowca, zm. 28 stycznia 1995 w Londynie) – polski artysta malarz, ekspresjonista, pedagog, krytyk sztuki i publicysta.

Życiorys
Urodził się 15 lutego 1901 w Trokiennikach na Wileńszczyźnie, w rodzinie Antoniego i Stanisławy z Koziełł-Poklewskich. Ukończył gimnazjum w Wilnie. Tam od 1913 należał do harcerstwa. W latach 1918–1920, służył ochotniczo w Wojsku Polskim, awansując na sierżanta.

Po zakończeniu wojny polsko-bolszewickiej rozpoczął studia na Wydziale Sztuk Pięknych Uniwersytetu im. Stefana Batorego w Wilnie (1921–1923) u Ferdynanda Ruszczyca, naukę kontynuował na Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Krakowie (1923–1927). Później studiował nauki matematyczne. Od 1929 zamieszkał w Wolnym Mieście Gdańsku, gdzie poza malarstwem był publicystą i recenzentem oraz nauczycielem w Gimnazjum Polskim. Debiutancka wystawa twórczości miała miejsce w polskiej galerii sztuki w Wolnym Mieście Gdańsku w 1934.

12 grudnia 1933 zawarł związek małżeński z Zofią z Lubieńskich Glogerową.

Po agresji III Rzeszy na Polskę wstąpił do Wojska Polskiego; pod koniec września 1939 dostał się do niewoli niemieckiej. Internowany w Oflagu II B Arnswalde prowadził kursy rysunku i matematyki, w wolnym czasie portretował współwięźniów. Po zakończeniu działań wojennych wyjechał do Włoch, wstąpił do II Korpusu Polskiego.

Po demobilizacji Korpusu w 1947 zamieszkał w Wielkiej Brytanii i tam spędził resztę życia. Założył w Londynie Polską Szkołę Malarstwa, która kontynuowała tradycje Wydziału Sztuk Pięknych Uniwersytetu Wileńskiego. Dożywotnio pełnił funkcję prezesa Zrzeszenia Plastyków Polskich w Wielkiej Brytanii. Poza praca pedagogiczną publikował artykuły na tematy związane z malarstwem.

Był członkiem Polskiego Towarzystwa Naukowego na Obczyźnie.

W 1963 podczas wystawy w Drian Gelleries w Londynie poznał lekarkę Cicely Saunders, która kupiła jeden z jego obrazów. Tak rozpoczęta znajomość przerodziła się w związek, ale Marian Bohusz-Szyszko miał w Polsce żonę, z którą był w separacji. Jako gorliwy katolik nie myślał o rozwodzie. Dopiero pięć lat po śmierci żony poślubił Cicely Saunders, para przeżyła razem piętnaście lat. Marian Bohusz-Szyszko zmarł w założonym przez żonę hospicjum św. Krzysztofa w Londynie.

Był malarzem ekspresjonistą przywiązującym ogromną wagę do doboru barw, tematyka jego obrazów była bardzo zróżnicowana, ale w drugiej połowie życia znaczna część obrazów przedstawiała tematy sakralne. Marian Bohusz-Szyszko był wielokrotnie nagradzany m.in. nagrodą malarską Fundacji Alfreda Jurzykowskiego i Garby Prize. Wiele prac jego pędzla znajduje się w kościołach i kaplicach w Londynie oraz w muzeach w Warszawie, Gdańsku, Krakowie. Niemały zbiór obrazów znajduje się w londyńskim hospicjum św. Krzysztofa, gdzie spędził schyłek życia.

 Krzyż Oficerski Orderu Odrodzenia Polski (6 stycznia 1973)

(from CBS's press release, August 2015) CBS announced today that the Dome in Chester's Mill will come down and its mysteries revealed during the series finale of UNDER THE DOME on Thursday, Sept. 10. Based on Stephen King's bestselling novel, UNDER THE DOME debuted Monday, June 24, 2013 and has been one of the most-watched shows on television for the past three summers. In the series finale, when the Dome comes down, many questions about its origin and power will be answered, as two groups of residents engage in one final conflict that some won't survive. "Two years ago, UNDER THE DOME broke new ground in the summer and became an instant hit on CBS, as well as with viewers around the world," said Nina Tassler, Chairman, CBS Entertainment. "DOME's event storytelling and multi-platform business model paved the way for more original summer programming with the successful rollouts of EXTANT and ZOO. We're excited to present the final chapter in Chester's Mill as the story comes full circle, with the Dome coming down as dramatically as it went up." All three seasons of UNDER THE DOME will continue to be available for unlimited streaming to fans and members of Amazon's Prime Video, which has been the exclusive subscription video on demand (SVOD) home for DOME since the show premiered.

Le château d'Oakham est situé dans le comté de Rutland, en Angleterre. Il a été construit entre 1180 et 1190, sous le règne d'Henri II, pour le baron normand Vauquelin de Ferrières.

Connu pour sa collection de fers à cheval, ce château est également reconnu comme un des meilleurs exemples de l'architecture domestique normande en Angleterre.

De par sa petite taille, il ne correspond pas à l'image traditionnelle d'un château. Le grand hall est la seule partie restante d'un manoir fortifié datant du début du Moyen Âge. Il est cependant démuni de nombreuses caractéristiques traditionnelles d'un château telles qu'un mur rideau, une guérite et un pont-levis avec des chaînes de fer.

Des preuves historiques et archéologiques suggèrent également que le château d'Oakham possédait des tours aux points stratégiques le long des murs ainsi qu'un fossé.
Le grand hall comprend une nef et deux allées à arcades, chacune avec trois colonnes de pierre. Un certain nombre de sculptures du  décorent la salle, dont six musiciens soutenus par des colonnes. On pense que les sculptures taillées dans la pierre locale des carrières de Clipsham ont été réalisées par des maçons qui avait également travaillé à la cathédrale de Canterbury.

Les fers à cheval
Il y reste une tradition unique que les pairs du royaume devraient déclarer forfait un fer à cheval au Lord du manoir d'Oakham sur leur première visite à la ville. Deux cent trente fers à cheval actuellement décorent les murs du château d'Oakham. C'est pensé que cette tradition est connectée au nom de famille de Ferrières; Ferrier était le mot normand pour maréchal-ferrant et le fer à cheval a été le symbole de la famille depuis Henri de Ferrières arrive en Angleterre en 1066. Un fer à cheval est utilisé comme symbole du comté de Rutland et apparaît sur les armoiries du conseil du comté.

Le fer à cheval le plus vieiu dans la collection est un qui fut présenté par le roi Édouard IV après sa victoire à la bataille de Losecoat Field. Les additions les plus récentes à la collection sont les fers à cheval présentés par la princesse Anne en 1999, le prince de Galles en 2003, la princesse Alexandra en 2005 et la duchesse de Cornouailles en 2014.
