    Interesting. My cousin spent time out there while doing his National Service. He was an RAF medic.

    I watched the first five minutes of this, and it looked like being the typical American war film, with lots of blood and explosions in slow motion.
    I shall have to watch all of it, before forming an opinion.

    I also watched the first couple of minutes of La La Land. I don’t think I will bother watching the rest of it 🙂

    Unusual to see a pair of Tucanos in formation on Sunday, on approach to 05 at Southend around mid-day.
    Weather was very gloomy, so maybe they had been diverted ?

    I actually think its not too late for the Vulcan. It’s probably high time that the Beeb got its hands in it’s very deep pockets and funded a ‘Red Radome appeal’ .

    I’ve never watched any of the BBC charity marathons, but that I might watch 🙂

    A worrying aspect of the Brexit / Trump debate, is the way liberal minded teachers are brainwashing children as young as 7yrs old. This has been confirmed by many parents, as well as other teachers.
    One teacher saying that a 7yr old asked him to sign an anti-Trump petition. Children coming home from school saying that their teacher had said that Farage was racist….
    A school assembly where children were asked to raise their hand if their parents were voting for Brexit…Children being made to make anti-Trump posters for their teachers to take on a march.
    Students being excluded from lessons because of their views..It beggars belief. If I had a child who was a victim of this brainwashing, I would be banging on the head teachers door…..very loudly indeed.

    We watched “The Sapphires” last night. Recorded from BBC2
    Loosely based on the true story of a group of aboriginal girls, who went out to Vietnam to
    sing to the troops.

    Very good, and well worth watching.

    Lets hope that whoever buys it, can keep it undercover.

    , you get the feeling that the bigger the company, the less they UK PLC wants to get involved in expensive court cases, where as a couple like this are fair game… something wrong in that approach.

    Isn’t it always the same, it’s easier going for the soft targets. Rather like the Inland Revenue hounding people for a couple of hundred pounds they owe, and letting the big multinationals get away with millions.

    As I see it, Trump is only carrying out what he promised in his election manifesto. A refreshing change to see a leader actually doing what he promised, once in office
    In the executive order, it doesn’t use the words “ban” or “muslim” . The restriction is for 90 days. … When Obama did something similar to those living in Iraq, nobody raised an eyebrow….Strange that !!
    Regarding the alleged “Lie” about Obama selecting the countries…..Quote: “US President Barack Obama’s administration selected these seven Muslim-majority countries. The Department of Homeland Security
    targeted these seven countries over the last years as countries of concern”

    When are we going to get worldwide protests against Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Sudan and Yemen ?. These countries all ban Jewish visitors permanently. This doesn’t make headline news, probably as Trump
    isn’t involved ?

    Concorde 🙂 That is something people would throw money at to see fly again.

    I wouldn’t be too sure of that.

    We just watched The Monuments Men on TV. Some filming was done at Duxford, including the Sally-B on the ground.
