Re 48
That’s nonsense – even by your abysmal standards
Which part – your abysmal reply just paints the whole post without actually pointing out which part does not fit with your narrow world view, but let us examine it anyway.
Does this case involve weapons and a convicted killer? Yes. As I said, manslaughter is still a killing conviction, and there was a weapon involved.
Does Martin have previous? Of course – hence the interest in this event.
Did he make claims about possession of a weapon? That was what got the police involved and what was confiscated from him. Whether he was forbidden from possessing an air weapon (possibly not in working order – who knows?) as part of his conviction I do not know, but he has had an illegal weapon in the past.
Should he have been detained? No. Of course not… The police should never have followed up on the report and should have left him in peace. After all, it’s not like he has a history of involvement with guns or of using them in an illegal manner, is it?
John’s dream world? Ah, maybe this is the nonsense he is abysmally referring to…
The Portsmouth Civil Defence Sea Hornet always strikes me as a terrible shame.
As well? I understood that they had Wildcat JV348 which departed around the end of 1963/start of 1964.

Then there was Sea Hornet VW949, in use for fire fighting practice at Westhampnett, West Sussex, until it was scrapped in 1968.
And there was a load of interesting stuff at Cranfield’s College of Aeronautics, only some of which have made the leap to preservation.
Farnboroughrob – the Sea Eagle was G-EBGR but marked up as ‘S’ which actually got run down by a ship whilst moored.

You don’t first arrest the subject, remove him/her to the nick and then look for evidence, unless of course, there are other rather compelling circumstances.
Can anyone see a rather obvious flaw in this view?
Quite apart from anything this case involves weapons and a convicted killer, manslaughter or not. The knowledge that Martin had at least one weapon and the claims he had made, together with his previous history and events that have occurred elsewhere, in the past, would mean that the suspect would be detained and removed from the scene so that a search could be safely undertaken without the suspect hiding or destroying evidence, running away or turning violent.
That’s the correct sequence.
In your dream world, maybe.

Yes, that would be scary – if it ever happened.

I can’t remember how many Churchill tanks were embarked for the Dieppe Raid but the landings went so disastrously badly that not all the tanks were actually landed.
Just had a look (as part of avoiding something else) and here is what I found.
The units and tanks selected for landing were as follows:
B Squadron, with part of C Squadron and the Regt. HQ would be landed by 10 RN LCT Mk 2, carrying 3 tanks each, and 7 light vehicles i.e. 30 tanks. A Squadron and the rest of C Squadron would remain in reserve, aboard LCT Mk 2’s and 3’s, 28 tanks.By type; 18 Mk III, 5 Mk II, 7 Mk I Churchills. Of these, 3 of the Mk I’s were flame throwers, 3 Mk III’s and 2 Mk. I’s carried carpet rollers, and 7 tanks were equipped to tow Daimler scout cars. By load, the 3 flamethrowers were in 1 LCT, the rest were loaded with a carpet roller type at the ramp, the towing tank and vehicle last…
…Twenty-eight Churchills remaining aboard their LCTs as a floating reserve, were: A Squadron 18; C Squadron 9; HQ Squadron 1.

(Interesting site – gives the full run down on the LCT loads and the fate of each tank at Dieppe)
One Churchill did survive – it never left the landing craft when the one in front of it sank into eight feet of water on exit and was lost.

Mildenhall closes for the weekends now, maybe?
And is it those teachings that have led to the current climate of economic progress and certainty then?
Was that typed tongue in cheek, then?
My point was that an opposite to Marx died 97 years previous.

Plus it all seems so archaic; is ‘socialism’ simply following the teachings of Karl Marx (I don’t know)…
…but Karl Marx died in 1883, died in 1883! Are his ‘teachings’ still relevant or has the world moved on?
Would we still take as gospel the ‘teachings’ in the field of engineering from 1883? Aeronautics? Medicine?
Adam Smith, the father of modern economics, died in 1790. Have we discarded his teachings yet, because they are old and outdated?
