As we shall be explaining this afternoon, Chester's Rows are unusual but not unique. There are hints of similar arrangements at Thun and Bern (CH) and Meersburg (DE) - a solution to the problems of building on sloping sites.

If the UK government was really serious about online safety they would have banned Twitter/X instead of implementing the Online Safety Act. That would've removed a major source of extremist hate but preserved small website communities and forums that offer safe aid and advice.

Part 3 of my ongoing series about the incredible WW2 flight of the California Clipper is now up and free to read.
Imagine having to fly your aircraft on regular gasoline, which it has never used before.
Now imagine having to work out how to do that while you're flying over the vast Indian Ocean...

In 1941, Pan Am's California Clipper had to do something no commercial flight had done before: circumnavigate the world.
In Part 3 of our series looking at her journey, the crew must work out, mid-air, how to fly her on regular gasoline. Something her Wright Cyclone engines were never designed for.

Unable to source military-grade aviation fuel, our crew are forced to cross the Indian Ocean using regular gasoline. Something no Boeing 314 has ever flown on before.
