BATTLE OF BRITAIN 85: 21st October 1940. The fog and low cloud returned, providing opportunities for lone Luftwaffe aircraft to attack during the day with little chance of being intercepted. Bombs fell in seemingly random areas including Weymouth, Bedford and Bournemouth.

21st October, 1942. A B-17 carrying First World War fighter ace and Medal of Honor holder Eddie Rickenbacker took off from Hawaii, bound for the remote Canton Island en route to Australia. He was travelling as a ‘non-military observer’ to report on USAAF units.

To those who say Blackburn never made a decent plane. 71% of all the magnificant Swordfish were made by Blackburn.

Hello ASDA, you didnt cause any problems, I was just being sarcastic, and TBH, your "Own brand" stuff is often a good deal.

Also, I dont "WhatsApp"...
SmartPhone, OldUser, but have a good day anyway.
Note.. 3 yard of spikes, 9ft in total, thats what they sent and I use it all in vertical stripes as I wasnt cutting that stuff... sharp!...
But can they jump a full yard of spikes 8ft to 17 ft up a drainpipe with no alternative route?
We are keen to find out, so far, it seems to be working?
We have been recently targeted by a squirrel that has chosen our attic as a nest site, so installed a series of spike strips up the drainpipe it has been using as a ladder.

Today I am sat here listening to a squirrel sitting on the fence swearing because we spoilt its plans.

Nice.
Theoretically near but not actual?
So Theoretically they actually Missed?
Nonsensically their aim should be a lot better.

[RSM] Five rounds at the target in front of you, dont miss this time or you will be peeling spuds for the rest of the week
Commence Firing.

Serious business here
🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.
Obviously nowhere near JDVance?
Ya think he and [Fart] had a fallout over something?
[check his security for tracking devices?]

But still, Live weapons fire OVER an open public road, in the UK thats a "Never" situation.

The soothing purr from a Ford Tri-motor flight over the EAA’s Sea Plane Base on Lake Winnebago.

Happy Sunday.
