F-15 crew normally punch out together with only a fraction of seconds between ejections. You would expect both to parachute reasonably close together so it seems strange that the US were only able to rescue the one. The aircraft hit damage could have prevented one of the seats to operate, but...

Apparently King Charles is not issuing an Easter message to his flock. Despite him recently wishing everyone a Happy Ramadan!!!

We were very lucky in 1982. If the Argentinians had waited 6mths, Maggie and John Nott would have sold off our aircraft carriers and scrapped the amphibious landing ships. No effective task force would then have been available.

His Majesty should go to the US and during the formal dinner, give a speech to remind Trump that the UK/US special relationship will outlive both of them. As a Naval man himself, he should also remind him that despite his derogatory remarks regarding our armed forces, any US uniformed...

Table top tactics also consider what is an acceptable 'body bag' % rate of own forces to achieve the military objective. Not an easy one to consider by democratic countries in this modern age.

Good win by Wrexham. Now sitting in 6th place in the Championship with just 9 games to play. Could they make history and win back-to-back-to-back-to back promotion to the Premier League?

The big man now expects others to provide warships to patrol the Straits of Hormuz? It was only a frw days ago he was critisizing Starmer for sending HMS Dragon 'after the war is already won'. The RN are world specialist in minesweeper operations, but our bean counters have already pulled the...

At the moment, the application form only asks whether the driver can read a car number plate correctly from a distance of 20m. Glasses may be worn. The driving licence will then show if glasses are required to be worn.

On Newsnight (Wed?), Zia Yousef stated that there were certain elements of the Act which will be amended. In particular those which disadvantage white young men. Rees-Mogg was also on the programme and was quickly shut down by Victoria Derbyshire, as he 'shockingly' AGREED with Zia's comments...

Went to Cyprus one year when kids were teenagers. Plenty of beaches with the added convenience of an overnight ferry/coach to visit Cairo museum and the pyramids.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3dzxk7rn43t In 1982 it was the BBC who informed the world that the Argentinian bombers were not fuzing their bombs correctly during the Falklands War. Here they are again telling the world where the US Navy is as they prepare for potential action. When you...

This is a posting I made in 2020, which tells a story where fate played a big part in my life. In 1941 a Royal Marine boy bugler had just passed his basic training with his best mate when they were both approached by their instructor that a battleship was about to sail from Portsmouth and the...

Nothing seen in response to my emails requesting info :( Intention now is to replace batteries, rebuild ROV and test it in the bath. :D

Up to now, I have been trying to find details of the manufacturer (which I believe is China based) rather than ROV retailers. I have sent twinhorse robotics an email, so will see what response I get. Cheers Doug

Its not net migration that is worrying people. Its the continuous influx of illegals.

Hi All I have acquired a Trenchrover 110 ROV which has been stowed in a shed for over 2 years and the previous owner cannot remember whether it worked correctly before being shedded. Both batteries in the workstation and ROV are dead, but that is the least of my problems. I have managed to strip...

Lid off....checked all connections....PCB showing no obvious damage.....no change! During this time my wife has checked out Which? and already has her eye on a replacement. The machine has served us well and now is the time to bite the bullet and admit defeat. Cheers Doug
