  The idea was to build giant floating barges in the mid North Atlantic for sub hunting escort aircraft to refuel halfway across. The escort aircraft at the time couldn’t stay with the convoys the whole way, leaving a stretch in the mid Atlantic where they were vulnerable. An ice runway would allow aircraft to cover the convoy for the entire passage, and in the North Atlantic would last months (if not longer) before melting.

  It’s a Gilson pipette though. That’s the Rolls Royce of pipettes!

  Ya. You see it a lot at maintenance bases for larger aircraft. A hangar large enough for the tail is often not feasible or practical, so they have a perfect tail shaped hole in the doors. You’ll see it a lot for 747/A380/C5 maintenance hangars.
