VH-KDK Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 A place I have always known about and wanted to visit since I was very young was Pearl Harbour. I finally made it and wasn't disappointed despite the Arizona Memorial being closed for maintenance. Today, on the 7th of December, few images to view and remember "the date that will live in infamy." 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Oh my gosh Martyn, you managed to do this perfectly! Very nice shots, and thank you for remembering that day that will live in infamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adambar Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Never forget Pearl Harbour and the lost lives, well done tribute Martyn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikbenik Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Very fine comparaison shots and a proof that the Orbx Oahu-scenery is as most as possible 'the real thing'. I visited the site and (an open) 'Arizona-memorial' in June 2010. Happy to see the location again via these nice pictures, thank you Martyn.

BradB Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Well done post Martyn with the RL and Sim shots , hard to believe it's coming up on 80 years in 2021 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE DYGAN Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Can't say more than what already said above (and below, for sure...). A compilation of shots steeped in history and... masterfully presented. I have been as touched by this set of shots as I have been impressed by the way you presented them, really. With my admiration... and my deepest respect to the ones who served. Thanks. Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you John, I doubt if there are many left now that witnessed those events first hand. So many times now I read an obituary about the said person being the last survivor of a certain event from WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
