Tirial's Lenses and Lensography
All about my lenses. Currently these focus on online hatching games, aviation (to be honest Avro Vulcans) and misc other interests.
I just made Top 100 at the end of June and am now wondering what to do next!
Then again, a lens isn't ever really complete. There are always new resources becoming available and more news to write and add.

About my lenses
More lenses from tirial
As I said in my bio, I'm interested in almost anything. I tend to read a lot, write fiction, and have a more than passing interest in science, engineering and technology.
I do lenses whenever I have a moment, mainly as a chance to share knowledge about things I am interested in, and promote causes I support. Any money raised by aviation lenses will be going to the charity I support, but sadly UK charities can't register with Squdoo, so when I get the paypal payment it's being taken out and dropped in their charity pot. A bit of a walk but it's worth it!
Since I have started to pick up a few badges, rather than make this lens even longer and more unmanagaeble, they've all been given their own showcase Tirial's Badges

Purple star lenses!
Purple stars
On 1st May 2009, my lens Longitude got a purple star. The following week, madeira wines joined it and a couple of others just got one. I'm absolutely thrilled!
XL426 Visit the Vulcan Day
This might seem an odd choice of video, but as I was in the cockpit at the time (back seat observer only!), it's something I thought I would put up. The electrical tests are: Bombbay 1:20 Rudder 2:20 then Elevons and mixed tests. The noise is just the electrics - the engines weren't running as you can tell from where the crowd was standing.
Recent news
New lenses, and more!
After squidcasts were discontinued, this is news from my blog. My recent updates containing news about my lenses, and any upcoming of work in progress lenses I have underway.
Fetching RSS feed... please stand byHatching Games
Free online Hatching games.
As a fan of online gaming (particularly when its free), I play a lot of online hatching games. These are games where you adopt a "creature" from a website and make it grow up through a mixture of views, clicks and time passing. MyMiniCity is a variant - grow a city not a creature!
Dragon Cave
The free online hatching game
Dragon Cave, the main Hatching Game I play, is now so popular (and has new features in the pipeline) that I have done two lenses, one about getting started, and one to help players avoid the pitfalls of Dragon Breeding.
Video Games
Lenses about console games
I am working on a series of Lenses about video game series. The next one, Lost Kingdoms, has just gone up. Each lens should feature trailers, gameplay examples and details on where to get the games.
The iconic cold war aircraft
All about the classic British jets
This was just about Vulcans, but since I've just added a Lancaster and Sea Vixen lens, I've widened the focus. These lenses are, of course, still to support the restoration of Vulcan XL426. New Mosquito lens added.

British Aviation
With twoo many lenses for this page, I have set up a lensography at
British Aviation
British Aviation
World War Two British bomber aircraft
From the light and medium bombers, like the Bristol Blenheim (repurposed as a nightfighter and its successor the Mosquito, to the heavy bombers like the Avro Lancaster, each lens contains details, artwork, and where possible video.
Aviation thrillers

- Thanks for the compliment. It's odd you should say that because I'm taking a week off after finishing them!
