Question Interesting entry door.

Looking at the Victor's entry door it's apparent that it's not of the plug type, which is the very best kind to have for pressurized aircraft as it cannot fail (allegedly). But then perhaps rapid egress is the reason the door resembles a laundry chute?

An impressive rack of gongs being sported by the late Shah of Persia. Note: sunglasses; pair of; one: required equipment for viewing the exalted personage on a sunny day least the reflected glint take out the unprotected retina. Didn't realize that his excellence was that accomplished, but then being able to award gongs to oneself possibly gives something of a biased advantage. One for Bob-a-Job week, one for Benevolent Dictator, one for Master of the Persian Universe, etc, etc. Those flanking him possibly earned their accolades and associated medals in an uncouth scrummage known as WWII. If so the contrast is sharp, but perhaps I'm being cynical.

PS. The RAF can't afford the UAS experience, the RN can't send a significant force to police North Korea. Not just sad, actually quite worrying.
