At least they would have followed the rules of the road….

I want to watch the cyclist being beaten up, but can’t find the vid – please help!

And this is almost the exact spot the aircraft stood – the Queen’s Gardens, Hull…

My years in the ATC (423 Sqn) in the early 1970s certainly left in indelible impression on me, especially those mothballed WW2 RAF hairy battledress tunics they made us wear, and those nuclear-proof detached collar shirts – I still have the scars.
The Chipmunk flying, model-making, aircraft recognition, 0.303 shooting practice, and sabotaging the instructors at every opportunity were the high points.
Our CO (Bailey) had been a WW2 Sunderland pilot, who had supposedly sunk a U-boat..

You may have been abducted by aliens, and subjected to all sorts of perverse experiments…

Stranger things have been found – 3 WW2 U-boats were rediscovered in 1985 in a demolished sub bunker on the Elbe at Hamburg. It’s not as if they were easily lost either, at 250 feet long!
U-2505, U-3004, and U-3506 were all the advanced revolutionary type XXI electro boats on which the allies base most of their post-WW2 sub technology on.
They are still there, but the bunker has since been filled in with gravel for safety, and a car park built on top of them…

If we’re nit-picking, the U-Boat commander’s white cap would have had a gold metal eagle, not one embroidered with gold thread like other officers wore…

Here’s the real deal…

The Hopkins’ Hannibal movies are great, but this one left me very underwhelmed. I can’t even remember seeing any Stukas…
