Old chap, keen on clocks, stamps, old engines and measuring residual stresses. Slowly getting to grips with a Polestar 2 and PV solar array.

My very first Airfix kit in, around, 1959 (?), age 6. Loved it!

Get well soon. I sincerely hope you don't need to be manhandled on a stretcher between too many decks.

Reassuring to see a straw boater safety hat in use while moving heavy equipment!

Thank you. A reminder, each day, of how much we owe, over so many years. 🙏

The order in which the plotted data is stacked may disguise some of the trends. Solar plotted directly above nuclear leads to a strong day-frequency base line for wind, which makes the true trend of wind (night/day) difficult to follow. Could the solar/wind order be inverted?

Thank you for this information, as always, very interesting. I have a comment/question about the presentation:

Yes, excellent. Thank you very much 😊

Such a wonderful name! Wikipedia lists her as the former French privateer "Le Jeux". I suppose "Child's Play" is in a similar general area of naming but misses the meaning by a mile. Thank you again for your carefully related reports of losses.

Does the LHS wreckage image belong to the River Arno set from your next post?

Agreed. The black on dark blue provides no contrast for easy reading. Looking forward to a speedy revision! 👍

Tea or coffee?

An intense blast to the underside has penetrated the plate and produced an overall lengthwise bend. Nasty.

Looking forward to seeing the fifth Pete. Petes one to four are very well depicted. Thank you!

The numbers on the turret? Appear to be (approx) degrees with the howitzer at 180. ? 🤔
