RE: OT-Gibraltar gets hits by KB!!!
Joe Wilkerson and I did heavy research on the creation of off map pathways. We based it on my research into wormholes and Joe signed off on it. We figured that the negative polarity of IJN warship metal grades would keep them out thus making them safe for Allied only usage. Most people don't know this but in addition to inventing the Internet, Al Gore also invented time travel and faciliated the initial USN funded research into this facinating topic.

Was watching something on TV about the oil burns a lot higher than water boils so if the fuel/oil burns off it will flash the accumulated water in the bottom of the tank to steam and blow the tank apart

Good pictorial description of why TK/AK/AO's loaded with fuel don't survive more than one bomb hit..........and why the fires need to be out before you'll be berthing your beasty at port.

Canton2, did you shoot this from Algeciras? One of my favorite places. I was there in the late 70s and early 80s

Nope from my bedroom window. I live in Gibraltar. Fire was in Gib not Algeciras. Border was probably closed because of Franco's foreign policy when you visited Algeciras at that time.

It's still being worked on. Spare time is a thing I have very little of at present, but I hope to have it ready to go, with a scenario based on Da Babes, sometime soon...

Yep, could not cross the border. Franco was gone but the policy stuck around for quite a while. Interesting place then, very small town and very conservative. Girls did not wear bikinis on the beach and all went home at ten pm. Franco's ghost, I suppose. Five years later, I went back and they were selling porn in street kiosks......I looked the place over in google earth a few weeks ago and don't think I would recognize it now. The town square is quite beautiful. Ornate tile work.
