London Underground after twenty Years!

 Very little has changed with the Emergency Services?

Fifty two people died on the 7/7 2005 and four suicide bombers with 800 injured and over 1000 with psychological problems and in this period, even after Grenfell tower block fire the emergency services have not changed their policy and despite some coordination in communications another disaster would be the same!

The failure to improve is hard to understand and the lack of special equipment is sad, because its probably the Lord Mayors and the Government who refuses to finance this type of gear and vehicles?

It would seem in some cases life is of less value than others and tradition and routines refuses to modernize with the times and this is seen across many professions as people bury their heads in the sand to refuse taking responsibility!

Auxiliary Ships! Two.

Re-fitting and Updating.

The problem today with all types of weapon systems is the need to update and to refit what can be?

One was amazed at the size of these vessels, pictures in books do not do justice to seeing the real thing! What is being done today, will probably be out of date by the time these vessels return to operational duty, but waiting in the worlds politics is not a wise move?

Replenishment vessels at sea will be around for some time, but space will also need ships to do the same role as humanity moves on from the confines of this world!

The role of recovery of damaged equipment is essential outside of conflict, as much as it is in conflict, while their are others roles in humanitarian work and hospital facilitating! This means that warships and submarines, carriers can remain in the conflict zone while the auxiliary fleet returns home!

Wales National Air Show 2018?

Prelude to it!

2018 promises to be something different with a tribute to the Royal Air forces 100th year and the end of World War-I (1914-18). Both German and British bi-planes historical aircraft of the 1918 period are to fly with many other new exhibits, such as the Catalina flying boat of World War-II?

Much of the same will be here again as last year in military equipment and aircraft, obviously my request was ignored since this event must be well planned ahead or the items are lacking due to operational and national security issues?

If the weather holds up it is expected to be another fantastic year for the everyone concerned, blue skies will produce some spectacular pictures and quality filming!

One would encourage everyone to have ago, even some of the basic digital cameras can still produce some not bad films and memories of the day?
