    Middle lanes… ooow what luxury..! I have to drive/ride at least 50 miles to the nearest stretch of 3 lane road 🙂 the downside is that all of our single carriageway A roads are clogged up with lorries restricted to 48 MPH – who’s bright idea was that???!

    The max speed limit for Hgv lorries on UK single carriageways is 40mph

    I think this is post war British 1000lb bomb tail, all the WW2 British tails I can think of were of the cone and drum style. I also think this has come from the Holbeach range as that is just off shore from Boston.

    But the lady says it was brought up during the war, I will ask her again when I next pick her up. She is in her eightys so her memory might be playing tricks.

    Well, at least the RAF bombed Dresden. 250 B17’s sent to bomb it the morning after hit Prague by mistake.

    They must have used co-ordinates supplied by the Brits, thats one for Moggy list:D

    Correct

    It always amuses me that proponents of the Eight are often scathing about RAF area bombing, whilst over in the Far East the US, having learned from Bomber Command, did little else in the Japanese homeland.

    Moggy

    Your not wrong Moggy, what the Americans seem to so conveniently forget is that they are the only nation on planet earth to use nuclear weapon on another
    country not once but twice, they seem to bang on about Dresden and Hamburg but the above seem fair game, is area Bombing only OK if you do it in Daylight?

    How time flies, today, is the 30th Anniversary, since Richard Noble set the new World Land speed record of 633.468 MPH. 😀
    Soon in the near future, the Ausies, with their Aussie Invader will attempt to break our record.:apologetic:

    To be at Scampton a week before the dams raid to try and get Gibson to change the name of his dog, and explain how much bl**dy trouble it’s going to cause in the future if he doesn’t.

    Another one is to be at 300ft over the Normandy beaches just to watch it all unfold beneath me

    Oh and to tell a girl back in 66 that I dont want to babysit with her:D

    You’re are saying that this discovered item may have actually been some sort of hammer?, my toolbox only has hammers in it.
    That explains the problems they had when they nailed Jesus to the cross using an abacus, mine fell to bits in the lounge recently whilst banging a nail in the wall to hang a picture…….coloured beads everywhere…..

    Are you saying there were precision tools 2000 years ago to make that, realy? it probably fell off a boat a in the 17 century and landed on a 2000 year old sunken ship.
