I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

MPN 11, you forget the giraffe lights that were put to red for the convoy. A smart motorist, calculating correctly that no aircraft would be flying deduced incorrectly that ATC had once again got it wrong and ignored the lights.

There, but for blind luck, could have been the ultimate safety test of a nuclear weapon.
