Re: Robin Hood Doncaster to close.

Not more warehouses, with talk of a recession, consumer confidence at a low and financial packages to prop up the economy, and we want to promote storing of thousands of items in a cold warehouse.

Re: Defence Review Overview

Re: Defence Review Overview

They should just build a dedicated aew helicopter platform (changeout when needed) and then a medium lift raf/aac capability transport helicopter with a 30+ year lifespan to complement the enormous amount of transport chinooks we have. 160 Typhoons (B61 capable), 100 F-35B’s and 100 tempest.

Yeah Omen1 ZH874 on tracking sites, was over North Notts 11.00am. Looks like it did a fair bit of low level right down the country.

It’s Ott here everyday, heard but not spotted, even with spotting scope and telescope, which Iv seen a Voyager over mid Peak District at 17,000ft with, but no U2. 😂 Think the contrails come with humidity, as green on this map (instant weather maps.com humidity chart) is contrail potential apparently...
