Airlines reliant on GPS
When I was operational we never used GPS. The reason being, I understood, is that the military controlled the system and in time of war it could be turned off. We used INS and ground based beacons. It seems that now airlines are more reliant on GPS https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13361885/T...

Re: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex
Ginge has awarded a lady with 'Soldier of the year' USA. Why a Brit and why wasn't he wearing his coronation medal? The latter a huge insult to HMK.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Morning folks. Sunny. The thatchers are here. Chaos for at least three weeks. Last time they did it inside the house was a big mess. They are putting up plastic this time to catch most of it. We will see.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Morning folks. Sunny and windy. Booked tickets for JNB-DBX-ATH and return this morning. Hate doing these things on line. Always worried I will press the wrong button and end up in Antarctica. Managed to get my favorite seat just behind the very best seat on all flights but Mrs Ex-Ascot is not always...

Morning folks. Broken cloud but warm. We are worried about our pod of hippos. Apart from two who wandered past the other day they are nowhere to be seen.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
Morning folks. Sunny will get into the 30s. Sounds like a Church service going on on the boat. House keeper playing gospel music. A very expensive week. Thatch to be bought which is considerably more than first thought. Accountants paid their astronomical fee for just pushing a few buttons. Safari c...

Anyone for a jar of jam with the label peeling off and no indication of the contents. Apparently delivered to 50 select people in a basket of lemons with dead flowers. Seems to be strawberry, so why the lemons and dead flowers?

Re: My first car
A friend's daughter has just taken her written test in Zimbabwe. There are two scales of charges. X to take the test. Y if you want a guaranteed pass. She went for Y but would have passed anyway.
