(tmoore) Tom Moore appears ready for
some serious study, perhaps cramming for Advancement exams, or other off-duty studies
in preparation for return to civilian life. |
(tmoore) Tom Moore (r) takes a look at
a pet monkey, barely visible in the center of the photo. |
|
(tmoore) The pet monkey has drawn a crowd. |
(tmoore) Tom Moore diverts the monkey while
its owner fiddles with what looks like a movie camera. |
|
(tmoore) A view to the north from somewhere
west of the VR-24 ramp. The Ouede Sebu river, invisible in this photo, forms the
northern and eastern border of the base. |
(tmoore) No small stream, the Sebou is navigable to ocean-going
ships all way from the from the Atlantic Ocean to wharfs in the town of Kenitra, which sits about five
miles inland. |
|
(tmoore) A rampart of the sixteenth century
Portugese fort guarding the mouth of the Ouede Sebou. A popular attraction for
American sailors exploring the local sites. |
(tmoore) A totally different approach to
defensive positions. Although this bunker might date from WWII, it appears of more recent vintage.
Perhaps, it was to be one used for training, either the U.S Marines, or the contingent of French Foreign Legion based at Port Lautey. |
|
(tmoore) Not exactly a fort, but the walls
surrounding the old city of Rabat were built during a time when walls meant
security. |
|
(tmoore) VR-24 offered a variety of
travel opportunities. This is thought to be a view of coastal Spain, taken by Tom Moore
in his travels. |
(tmoore) One of the amenities of the
hotel where Tom spent a couple of nights in Malaga was the ice sculpture of a
sun worshiper in the center of this photo. |
