Plus the fact the EAP was not some sort of prototype for Typhoon, the book E.A.P. by Allan Seabridge & Leon Skorczewski will tell you all you need to know about the demonstrator.

Re: London fire

And yes sprinklers would be very expensive to fit, and they would also be very expensive to maintain! But can they be retrofitted to a block like this? And how many accidents by litt...

Re: Car Jumps Lights at Waddington

If you are really that concerned, the simplest option would be to close the A15 between the B1178 and Bloxholm Lane junctions.
