Flight (Lessing story)

"Flight" is a 1957 short story by Doris Lessing. It deals with an old man who is against his eighteen-year-old granddaughter getting married, bringing him into conflict with not only her and her fiance, but also his daughter, who was herself married even younger and whose other three daughters have already been married.

No. 1409 Flight RAF

1409 (Meteorological) Flight was formed on 1 April 1943 to provide meteorological information for RAF Bomber Command and the USAAF. Equipped with unarmed de Havilland Mosquito aircraft, the crews of the Flight undertook long range meteorological reconnaissance flights until the end of the Second World War in Europe and continued in this role until 1946.

Formed at RAF Oakington as part of the disbandment of 521 Squadron, the Flight was part of No. 8 Group RAF, the Pathfinders. Flying as single aircraft the missions were codenamed PAMPA (Photorecce And Meteorological Photography Aircraft).

In January 1944 the Flight moved to RAF Wyton where it remained until July 1945 when it moved to RAF Upwood. In October 1945 the Flight was transferred to No. 47 Group RAF and partially re-equipped with Consolidated Liberator aircraft in addition to its Mosquitos at RAF Lyneham. The Flight was disbanded at Lyneham in May 1946.

During the war the Flight flew 1,364 operations for a loss of only 3 aircraft.

United Airlines Flight 93

United Airlines Flight 93 was a domestic scheduled passenger flight that was hijacked by al-Qaeda on September 11, 2001, as part of the September 11 attacks. It crashed into a field near the Diamond T. Mine in Stonycreek Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, near Indian Lake and Shanksville, during an attempt by some of the passengers to regain control, killing all 44 people aboard including the four hijackers. No one on the ground was injured. The aircraft involved, a Boeing 757–222, was flying United Airlines' daily scheduled morning domestic flight from Newark International Airport in New Jersey to San Francisco International Airport in California.

The hijackers breached the aircraft's cockpit and overpowered the flight crew approximately 46 minutes after takeoff. Ziad Jarrah, a trained pilot, took control of the aircraft and diverted it back toward the east coast of the United States in the direction of Washington, D.C. Although the specific target is not known, it is believed that the hijackers were intending to crash the plane into either the White House or the Capitol Building.

Lion (name)

Lion as a name may refer to:

People with the family name

  • Alfred Lion (1909–1987), German-American record producer
  • Jeremy Lion, comedic character
  • Joel Lion, Israeli Diplomat
  • P. Lion (born 1959), Italian singer
  • People with the given name

  • Lion Feuchtwanger (1884–1958), a German novelist
  • Jack Lion Hartzler (born 2014), son of Evanescence vocalist Amy Lee
  • Fictional characters with the family/given name

  • Lion Rafale, from video game Virtua Fighter Series
  • Lion Ushiromiya, from the Japanese sound novel Umineko no Naku Koro ni
  • See also

  • Lions (surname)
  • Lyon (disambiguation), people with the surname Lyon
  • Lion (video game)

    Lion is an animal simulation game where the player plays the role of a lion. It is a sequel of sorts to Wolf.

    The gameplay is divided into two parts. The first is a sandbox simulation mode, where the player has no predetermined goal. The second is a scenario mode, where the player has to complete specific actions; this is comparable to quests given in RPGs.

    As in the original you take the role of a lion chosen from a pool of 20 different animals, with varying attributes, in existing prides or handpicked groups made by yourself. You can control a single animal or all members of a pride and you get to play in either a 20-mission mode (such as survive for a day) or a simulation mode, which allows you to do whatever you want.

    Unlike in Wolf, which takes place in three different locales, Lion is played only on the savannas and plains of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania (though in four different seasons).

    Also includes a "Lion Safari", an interactive tour of the leoline life on the Serengeti.

    LION (cable system)

    Lower Indian Ocean Network (LION) is a submarine communications cable system that connects Madagascar, Réunion, and Mauritius. It is 1,000 kilometres long. It is capable of delivering up to 1.28 terabits per second. The project was financed by a consortium made up of Orange Madagascar, Mauritius Telecom and France Telecom S.A..

    It has cable landing points at:

  • Toamasina, Toamasina Province, Atsinanana Region, Madagascar
  • Sainte Marie, Saint-Denis Arrondissement, Réunion
  • Terre Rouge, Pamplemousses District, Mauritius
  • The cable will subsequently be extended to Nyali, Mombasa in Kenya with a LION2 branch connecting Mayotte.

Her novels include 'The Grass is Singing', 'The Golden Notebook', and five novels collectively known as 'Canopus in Argos'. [Listener: Christopher Sykes; date recorded: 2007]. TRANSCRIPT: So, I had this novel in two parts. One was my beautiful comic idea which I wasn't equipped to write, and the other was a short part of it, which was really the young white assistant observing what was going on. Now, this novel, which was set – this is in wartime, mind you – in wartime, when U-boats were patrolling the oceans, so if you did send something, most often it got sunk or... so I sent this novel over to England, and it was rejected two or three times, and that now took a... you know, I'm saying that it took months to send a thing, if it ever... ever got here, and if it did get here then it would have to go back again... months again, if it didn't get sunk. So it was a great practice in patience, this whole process of learning to be a writer. So there I had this manuscript, and it suddenly occurred to me – I had a perfectly good book here if I threw away two-thirds of it. So I threw away the parts that didn't work, the... the young assistant with his high-flown ideas about morality and decency and justice and all that, and I left the rest, and that was The Golden... that was The Grass is Singing... what remained is The Grass is Singing – a short novel – which is the remains of the... the big mass of manuscript I had. Once again, thank God, I tore it up, and because that really wouldn't sink me. So... So... so there we are: that was The Grass is Singing. And the next thing that happened was, I had this manuscript, and I'm supposed to be a writer. Somebody comes up from Johannesburg and says, 'Oh, I can get you a publisher'. Takes it down to Johannesburg and sells it to a publisher, whose name I've now forgotten, and then he said he couldn't publish it because it was too abrasive. You know, it was, for the idea of the time, it was very abrasive – couldn't possibly publish it. So there it was sitting, and I had a, you know, a copy of a... I remember a page, a page of agreement between me and this crooked publisher... So I came to England with this child and no money at all to speak of, and a lot of very unsuitable clothes. And so there I was near the Portobello Road, in a place that was very badly bomb-damaged, with... the walls were all crumbling; it hadn't... war damage hadn't been there yet, so I was in a part of that, living in a room and another room with the walls cracking, and of course since I was a Rhodesian used to warmth, the cold was quite hard to bear. You know, bringing a few lumps of coal up from the basement several times a day, and of course you never, I was never warm, so... and then what happened was, I wrote, I had some short stories that I'd written, and I sent them to Curtis Brown, which was and is one of the big agencies, and it got to a woman called Juliet O'Hae, who wrote back and said – which is routine, but I didn't know it – 'Yes, very nice, dear, but have you got a novel?' So I wrote back and said, 'I have a novel, but it's been sold to a Johannesburg publisher'. 'Let me see the agreement', says she, and she was so angry – she said she'd never seen anything so crooked and wicked and disgraceful. And she sent this man a telegramme – a telegramme, remember – saying, 'Release this author or I will expose you for what you are – a crook and a...' So he released me, and then he sold... she sold the novel over the weekend to Michael Joseph. The sub-clause... so much time has passed... is, of course, that Michael Joseph had been her lover, and she had a 'in' to Michael Joseph; she sold an immense number of books to Michael Joseph, and mine was one of them. And so it came out now. Then what happened was, it... I got let... telephones from Michael Joseph saying, 'We are reprinting your book'. But since I was as green as I was, I thought this happened to everyone.

    • UK diplomats return home from Moscow as PM wins EU backing over Russian spy poisoning | ITV News

      A special charter flight touched down at RAF Brize Norton, bringing home the British diplomats and their families expelled from Moscow in the continuing diplomatic crisis over the Salisbury attack. Their forced homecoming was taking place as Theresa May clinched the backing she wanted from Europe's leaders, to step up the pressure on Russia. Their response, after a two-day summit in Brussels, was much stronger than the earlier caution they had displayed. The EU has not only recalled its ambassador in Moscow, but backed Mrs May's assertion that Russia is to blame for the attack -- and pledging what it calls an "unprecedented" diplomatic response. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on...

    Flight (Lessing story)

    "Flight" is a 1957 short story by Doris Lessing. It deals with an old man who is against his eighteen-year-old granddaughter getting married, bringing him into conflict with not only her and her fiance, but also his daughter, who was herself married even younger and whose other three daughters have already been married.
