Re: Parking at LN
I would say pass it on to the police since littering is a criminal offence (Environmental Protection Act 1990). Unfortunately though, our constabularies are vastly overworked and under-resourced to be able to cope with this level of crime.

Re: Bloodhound SSC
There is never a "last goal" in anything. The challenge is always to improve and go faster, bigger, etc. to beat the previous record.

Re: Sound of engines echoey
Hi Brenham - afraid "those relatively short shelters" are just that. To be honest there wouldn't be much point in an underground nuclear-proof facility if the rest of the base is dust other than a post-apocalyptic museum! Having lived all my life in the shadow of military airfields, like you I have ...

No offence intended and apologies if taken as such. My response was simply informative and sent during a very short break at work.

Re: Bimbling Around London With My Point And Shoot.
Thanks Brian - yet another great reminder of how varied our capital is. Some familiar, some not. You have a knack - no a skill - for making everyday scenes come to life.

Re: Car chase onto NAS Lemoore
The date is in the description "...on the night of March 30 - 31, 2016..." the date is also on the screen. But it doesn't matter when - it is still horrible especially for the clean-up team and the relatives of the deceased.

Just checking and not wishing to stir anything up but - are you saying you don't trust the info on here at all? If not just what are you saying - please clarify so that we all understand your viewpoint on this forum.

Re: AirPower Expo at Coningsby 18th Oct
I was only interpreting the MoD report which suggested a difference in terminology - copied from yesterday's BBC report: The Ministry of Defence in London said the UK had decided to "pause some F-35 flying as a precautionary measure while we consider the findings of an ongoing enquiry". But the MOD ...

Re: AirPower Expo at Coningsby 18th Oct
Suspended or paused rather than grounded. There is still time for flying to resume and one to appear by the 18th, unless Rob666 you know otherwise rather than an assumption based on the suspension.

Maybe not classed as an explosion but something may have gone bang to cause injury?

Re: R.A.F Grounds all F-35s
That's a long article to say b**ger all - and even what is there is incorrect and badly written. Can't they employ journalists who have decent English qualifications? Actually that sentence should have ended after four words.
