RE: British camouflage patterns

Your right about the hastily applied D-Day markings I have read somewhere that the Fleet Air Arm A/C had some marking which were a bit grey around the edges due to the paint not having time to dry.
Some paint schemes derive from what was available at the time, the 8th AF 4th fighter groups red paint applied to the nose cone came originally from the post office the same paint as the post boxes.
And I think I’m right in saying that the 357th fighter group used RAF green as the US olive drab was not available.
The 56th FG plum coloured P-47s I think was a result of not having enough of one colour or other to make up the olive drab.

RE: Whats the speed of Dark ?

If you had solar powered headlights wouldn’t that solve the problem with fog.Great idea about the bi-focals what about having it incorporated in with your double glazing as there is no chance of hitting the house next door.What about having the switches in cars marked in braille?

RE: Happy Thanksgiving to my American G’s (still early)

I heard recently that Santa Claus was originally dressed in green not red and that it was a promotional campaign by Coca Cola that dressed him in red back in the late 19th early 20th century

RE: Happy Thanksgiving to my American G’s (still early)

Am I right in thinking there was a pagan traditional celibration around the time of Christmas which was taken over by the christian calender?

It must be faster than the speed of light as it has to get out of the way!;)
