                I used to hear the sonic boom from Concorde as she headed out over the Bristol channel and (for the want of a better phrase) gave it some welly!, happy days.

                I miss the fog horn on Flat Holme too.
                Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    The Red Arrows flew over central London today - 150 years of the army/navy recruiting/pressganging cadets

                    Did you know, you can book the Red Arrows to flypast your event for free? (Excepting weddings and funerals).
