I thought the Captain of the QE 2 a little strange, throwing small amounts of his dead brothers ashes into the sea at regular intervals.

If that sailor was really being chased by Russian heavies, where were his shipmates? Surely they look out for each other on runs ashore?

The Navy do tend to get the wind 180 degrees out. Normal folk have the wind on their back so low pressure is on the left. The Navy face the wind.

Depends which hemisphere you’re in.
If you stand with back to wind and low pressure is on your left etc .... and vice-versa. One thing for sure: if you throw up, turn back to wind beforehand. |

The abbreviation for his ship is QNLZ. The floating hotel that used to be a cruise liner is QE2.

There was a fleeting glimpse, in the intro to Episode 1, of the F35 going off the ski ramp into the water. It hasn't featured in the programme. I wonder why. :E

That clip is in the intro to all the episodes. The event hasn’t featured in the programme so far because in the series timeline it hasn’t happened yet. I’d have thought that was obvious.

Haven't taken much notice of the intro to the other episodes. I thought the F35 ended up in the Med? They are now in the Indian Ocean.
return maybe? |
Be interesting to see how it's spun to the TV crew
