Got me in the hills west of Harrogate. So . . . feel quite secure really if it can't find me here in Derby.

Works machine apparently is in Rutland - do they still have their own Air Force?

Just landed from night flying at 'the secret air base', and now know that the IP is in the capital of this small island. Clever stuff!

I think I'm winning : I'm supposed to be in middle America. The black Omegas are going to have a bugger of a job getting there.
Mind you, a lot of the punters around here do have six fingers per hand, and on very still nights you can hear the sound of not-so-distant banjos....

I thought I would post this link just in case anyone wants to do a spot of revision in case WST come calling unexpectedly

British Nuclear Weapons

It is all from published sources, most from Wynn's Official History.

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

Glad he got the weight right. Interesting to see the yield in print

Also interesting is the section on colour scheme and the later adoption of the olive green. This is the same colour as the Trial 505 round used in 1965.
