I’d have been a little grumpy at the damage caused by those flights, Jim. Why
couldn’t the aircraft fly out to sea?
I hold no brief for the ghastly chap who might be the next President, but I do
have my doubts about the wisdom of this country to tie its maritime air power
to the F35. The USA will probably make the best of it, but I have a feeling
that this country will run out of money maintaining its F35 fleet.
Nice photos though, Jim. And the calendar is a good idea, whatever the
capabilities of our devices; if I remembered to maintain a paper calendar less
would be forgotten in this household . .
