There's more aqueducts in the Netherlands than I had expected. A friend just posted this photo from the Polder in Flevoland, where they've been for the last week - obviously not an aqueduct, and...

We provided metal fatigue advice and helped sort out the intake design - to fix up the problems General Dynamics was having. The intake, for example, was giving you Americans stall problems. Never...

I've been with Smugmug for a couple of years now. They'll look after Flickr, unlike the mongrels at Photobucket. Smugmug is a family-owned business.

Indeed. I should have an image somewhere of a Nikon that copped a bullet. I'll see if I can find it.

As for the last man out of Vietnam... a mate of mine stayed on. He was in Saigon when it...

Yep - focus on the positives. The others around you need you.... and that includes us, because you are valuable to us.

Great image.... but she was the last flying Sea Vixen. Now in need of 3 million pounds and another few years work to get her in the air again

That'd have been my girlfriend's uncle.

He was Minister for Defence up there when we were buying them.

He would have been rolling in his grave when I snapped a photo of her in the cockpit...

Americans don't know how to make decent coffee though, but whether this reinforces that is unknown.
