Altee was pretty naive. But the jet tech was given to the Russians on the basis that it would be used for civilian use only, which obviously didn’t happen. But the yanks kind of deserved it after they refused to share nuclear weapons technology.

An amazing video thank you - I visited the Cheynes Beach Whaling Station when still in operation in the 1970s - also knew Clive Scobie who was a whaling skipper at Point Cloates. Clive told me the Ches Stubbs story - also told me the story of when he (Clive) fell overboard with sharks around the moored whale. The crew quickly got a line to him and hauled him up but Clive reckons that experience of falling in among the sharks was the moment his hair turned grey!

I’ve read that submarines serve the best food in the navy, at least in the USN. Makes sense, for morale. Question: do submarines have ~loudspeakers, for mimicking whales or other sea life, as a sonic camouflage? Bubble-heads took that slur and OWN it, like the “black” rappers took an own the enword. Haha, good on them., they know they do the harder job. Read one or two “Confessions of” about sub life on TWZ a few years ago. Busy life from the get go, and not much privacy. “Quals” is about training for formal qualifications, afaik done by all on board, as they put in time and support the boat. But the fresh faces get pranked. Shipmate down aft in the propulsion spaces will know what to do, when a stressed fresh face appears and asks for a “machinist’s punch”. Haha yeah, but I fell for similar one time starting an oilfield job. Oof. Cheers, Sir. Good vid, and big ups to the speaker.

This is a great book, its informative, and has a great reference section in the back of the book. However the book sadly misses out on supplying the much needed maps to show the location of the islands, There is a general map in the beginning but in my opinion it is not sufficient, I also noticed a lack of photographs too . I have also finished reading " 44 Days, the history of the 75 Squadron " I have found the same issue with this and the lack of photographs which in my view would better explain the books content ! Otherwise a great book and I enjoyed his other book, " the battle of the Bismark sea " I like michael's style of writing easy to read and follow the outline of the stories.

You’re making a huge assumption that the SQ B777 encountered Clear Air Turbulence - very unlikely in tropical latitudes. Since the Seat Belt sign was reportedly switched on immediately before the incident, this suggests an encounter with convective turbulence, I.e. a thunderstorm (VERY common in that area). Blaming increased encounters on climate change sounds suspiciously like woke nonsense - how about an increase in numbers of aircraft flying about?

I don’t feel at sorry for those passengers whom, in spite of the safety briefing, didn’t use their seat belts and ended up with bloodied heads stuck inside the overhead lockers with their feet dangling down where their laps should have been. If you defy safety briefings, do not expect to successfully claim against the airline. Do not expect travel insurance to cover you.

.......GOOD SHEILA............. Thought I heard “silk” in the vid, but saw “ rice paper” in the description. Sounds edible enough, and much more easily destroyed by eating. I hope her program office selected inks that would not harm, and test-ate the paper too. I wonder how many airmen ate their maps. I’d not heard of this. I wonder if it was used in the ETO. Sounds like something the spy trade would invent, or adopt. Cheers, Sir, from the home of the Edmonton Oilers, who just won their (best-of-seven) round against Vancouver, game seven. I played hockey from 6 years old until my mid twenties, and still get excited about it from time to time. But still have PTSD from a crowd crush on a Whyte Ave sidewalk last time the team was in the playoff final round: cops in riot gear with funky “non lethal” weapons, walking in the otherwise-closed road, yelling at the sidewalk crowd to not step off the curb. That wasn’t it, it was my verging-on-brutal elbows against others that haunts me. Oof. Now I’m hoping they go all the way, since I know to avoid those situations. ...Hope you Aussies choose Edmonton to support, whenever you discover the wonder that is NHL ice hockey. Cheers Sir!
