Accidents do happen....

On that picture I would say gravity happens ... note how she has to use chairs for support to save her back muscles. Not my cup of milk.

That was no accident.

They grow them square so they can stack. By growing them in boxes.

That is a lot of dots. Does anyone know what the range is between the circular lines?

1zero9...


How many Japanese can you get in a Bf1zero9?

Wow! I thought that the Mitsubishi Bf-1zero9 was a single seat fighter escort bomber, but its amazing to see it had a crew of 8. Interesting to note that amongst the crew was Satoru Nakajima the tabloid press hack (top left). Always a good idea to get one of those on board for that detailed first hand account he can then provide of the military operation and which tabloid readers are so keen to read up on.

Here is Nakajima's headline and detailed report from The (Rising) Sun: 8th December 1941

Phew what a scorcher. Look at the t*** on that!!

We took off on some mission or other in the early hours of the morning. I mean jeeeez why did we have to get up so early? Anyways, after a really boring trip over endless water, we finally saw Hawaii - and not a moment too soon thank-goodness.

Anyway when we got there, there was like lots of noise and explosions and our guys were firing guns and dropping bombs and torpedoes at American stuff. That woke me up I can tell you.

After we flew over some burning ships or something, we were so close I could actually see into the US hospital windows. The smoke from all that burning stuff was really annoying but I managed to catch a glimpse of nurse Lt Evelyn Johnson getting dressed! Wowsers - I made a mess of my trousers!

Unfortunately we had to fly back to the carrier shortly afterwards... I was hoping for a second look. But don't worry folks I managed to get a picture (turn to page 3).

MakeeLearn, I thought you knew about WWII but you've been had with this one. This is nothing to do with USS Hornet. This is a cob web. How could you miss the give-away clue of the spider??? Raise your game son.

Oi! I won't have a word said against the Air Transport Auxiliary in World War II - at least not when they looked like this [&o]

Another amazing genuine World War II picture! Who knew Rachel and Anna were land girls back then? I didn't think they were old enough.

Anyway, based on this picture my inner conscientious objector would have come to the fore - and instead I would defo have volunteered to work on the farm.....

Anna, Rachel, I appear to have lost a needle in this haystack - can you help me find it?

That is a lot of dots. Does anyone know what the range is between the circular lines?

Are they fixed range rings or are they transposable? Does it depend on the max range of the radar?

It was my Halloween trick...and I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids!

The one on the right is a babe. Someone has to keep the Home Front going, I could make Crop Circles with her.
