5959. This is what the voyage was all about - Britain joins the Nuclear Club with her first atomic explosion. It was called Operation Hurricane. In this image it is 0935 hours, five minutes after the nuclear device has been detonated on board a former WWII Royal Navy River Class frigate, HMS PLYM, vapourising the ship and leaving a huge 6m deep and 300m wide indentation in the ocean floor of the Bunsen Channel at Trimouille Island in the Monte Bello group, 81 kms, or 44 miles off the coast of Western Australia.
The atomic cloud, not now the conventional mushroom, is taking on a spectral shape. It had reached 12,000ft within three minutes of thge expolosion and was then aboiut one mile across. HMS PLYM had been used to test the effect of a ship-smuggled bomb, reflecting Cold War fears that this could be done in a British port. The 25kt bomb was similar in scale to the Aug. 9, 1945 Nagasaki explosion.
We had a photo of PLYM awaiting her fate in a series of several images on the explosion beginning at Pic NO. 5259. It includes an Oct 4 West Australian newspaper report and photograph that Jack Duperouzel also sent us, but which is already seen on the Photostream, here:

The newspaper report shown there states that the task of tracking the radio-active nuclear cloud was allotted to RAAF Lincoln bombers flown to Broome from Amberley air force base in Queensland, and the paper says it is believed they were assisted at lower levels by Sea Fury and Firefly aircraft from HMAS SYDNEY [II].
[*We find a sentence in the RAN Sea Power Centre's online history of 817 Squadron which says that 817 Squadron Fireflies and 805 Squadron Sea Furies were used to secure at 72 km radius - almost 45 miles, perhaps to the coast - around the atomic test site].
There is much that was not known about the test, and the newspaper of the day inaccurately speculated that the device had been detonated from a tower. HMAS SYDNEY [III] left the Monte Bello islands on Oct 4, the day after the explosion, but remained at Shark Bay in the general vicinity until Oct. 12.

Duet
Image by Bill Selak
Here's my new favorite piece of sound equipment: Apogee Duet. You can plug anything musical straight into it (electric guitar, vocal mic, etc), and it works seamlessly with Garageband and Logic. And it sounds amazing. I plugged my guitar straight in (I didn't even plug in my fancy, awesome sounding amp (or effects)), and my guitar sounded soooo good in Garageband.
So here's part 2 of this photo description-thing. I discovered the Apogee Duet while reading an article about Coldplay's producer. This guy recorded with the Duet, and was stoked with the result. I found 300 amazing reviews online... and they are all true. This hardware rocks. I think my next album will be recorded on this.
