Re: Interesting findings on the internet
Wendy Grossman's net.wars column always worth reading, even if you don't necessarily agree with all her points. The latest issue mentions "...Google now classifies the United States internally as a “sensitive” country, treating Donald Trump's USA in the same way as China, Russia, Israel, Saudi ...

Re: Interesting findings on the internet
Marham. (as in RAF Marham). We also make a fair chunk of the parts of it. Includes critical electronics and most of the arse of the fuselage. It is not entirely clear who much they can do. Last I looked the F35 engines were being maintained in the US and Turkey . I hope the geopolitical realities o...

Re: Interesting findings on the internet
Nice idea, but things are too intertwined now. Example: we have F35 fighters. Where are they serviced? (Hint: not a one word or even paragraph answer). Example: BAe is a UK space and defence company; true or false? Shame about Brexit and Galileo. Marham. (as in RAF Marham). We also make a fair chun...

I would like to interject with a comment: fuck Dan-Air! :) I remember one of their Comets taking off a thousand feet or so underneath me, from their maintenance facility.

Re: Test Equipment Anonymous (TEA) : Discussion and Group Therapy Thread
I remember the winter of 81/82, when it was exceptionally cold[1] from early December to mid/late January. I had just moved into my first flat, and couldn't get any coal since the coalyard was frozen solid. Things went on, including my push-biking along a snow-covered back road to get to the train ...

Went to store for soda for the kids... everybody is there stocking up on everything from milk to bread to yes, dozens of rolls of TP. Lines literally 3/4 of the store deep.

Re: Test Equipment Anonymous (TEA) : Discussion and Group Therapy Thread
Very interesting indeed. I will have to try driving in Italy. No, you don't. I've driven a large Volvo straight into, and out of the Spanish Quarters downtown Naples. I will never do that again. Trust me on this. No damages, but quite stressful. Down to but not including Rome probably is fine. For ...

Correctly guessed. It is the Pompeii archaeological site. Currently lying in bed in Naples. Off to the archeological museum in an hour. Hopefully the rain stops by then. Yes it’s bloody raining.

Re: Test Equipment Anonymous (TEA) : Discussion and Group Therapy Thread
Civilisation comes in waves I suspect. People who lived through wars tell stories. Eventually they wear off and new people demand more wars. Civilisations rot from within. A classic warning sign is when an unnecessarily high proportion of the total wealth is held in too few hands, and too many peop...
