A while back “After the Battle” did a cover story on the Deadlight U-boats. Anyone got a copy?

Good to see you back with us, Jules!

The ninth post on this thread might be of interest to you:

In your volunteering days, has anything similar happened to you? I’ve even seen an emotional meeting between British and Japanese troops who’d fought against each other in the far east, and I am amazed every time by the bond between people who were once mortal enemies.

*To finally go to Old Warden as i have wanted to for years.

GO! You will not regret it, I promise you. I went for the second time this year to the Autumn display, saw stuff-all flying because the weather was so rank, got drenched, and still went home grinning like a loon because I’d enjoyed it so much.

My personal forum resolution for this year is to stop using size 7 text to shout “Go!” at people with. Oh, and to persuade the mate with the film scanner to scan my Box Brownie negs from OW so Damien can be amused at how lousy a photographer I am. Oh, and to stop going “Oh, and…”.

Lets keep it fun, informed, and not catfight too much!

(Merry Christmas everyone, and Rocketeer’s wish is seconded here!)

Looks like most of it is Vampire, with just a Gannet tailplane for a fin, to me.

I’d like to meet the person who thought of grafting two aircraft together tail-to-tail so it had a nose at each end – just the sort of idiot sense of humour I like!

Tell that to HSE Adrian and see where it gets you!!!

Actually, I was thinking that the HSE was the least of the worries here – I don’t personally, but we work with radioactivity here so I am (a) aware of the precautions and (b) unlikely to tell the HSE where to get off. I was thinking more people like the newspapers who had conniptions over the nuclear reactor site where something is being built for 2012. From the fuss anyone would think that they’d discovered Chernobyl, rather than that there’d once been a dinky little nuclear medicine department reactor there.

Otherwise, though, point taken!

As Wessexboy said, let’s get back to aircraft! Wasn’t there some really bizarre safety device in some of our early air-launched nuclear weapons, or am I getting muddled with something else?
