O.U. Engineering School Shirt

 What results when one wakes up in the middle of the night and thinks, "Gee, I'd better make a photo of this shirt before it falls completely to pieces."

From my expression, maybe I should take action before I fall to pieces!  :^)

Did You See the Flyover / Flypast at the QE II Celebration?

The flyover for the celebration of British Queen Elizabeth II's 70th year on the throne included the mandatory flyover / flypast of military aircraft with their modern supersonic design, jet engines, and flashy red-white-blue smoke displays.  The aircraft that caught my eye, though, were the World War II aircraft flying in a formation similar to this one:

British Lancaster Bomber, Spitfires, and Hurricane.

Were it not for the Royal Air Force's Spitfires and Hurricanes and the diverse group of pilots who flew them against Hitler's Luftwaffe in the 1940 Battle of Britain, it's hard to see how Hitler and his thugs would ever have been expelled from continental Europe.  The bravery, tenacity, and expertise of the RAF and Polish fliers prompted British Prime Minister Winston Churchill to make his famous remark, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”

If you'd like more information on the Battle of Britain, there's plenty available here:  Battle of Britain.

If you're interested in the doings of the Queen's 70th anniversary on the British throne, this article has good coverage of the on-going event:  Forbes Article, QE II 70th Anniversary.

Enjoy!

It's the Nordic Hammer Guy Again

Once again, it's been a fairly noisy night in Norman and on south.

P.S.  My back yard now has several downed tree branches, thanks to the last several days of storms.  How can the trees still have any branches at all?  --CLO   02 June 2022
