And not being an aircraft had no say in the argument!?After careful consideration I've decided this was too experimental and will not be allowed.

Well, the Army initially called the tank a 'Land Ship'!! Soooo, maybe a long stretch of the imagination!I did wonder about land torpedos…….
Yep, and Land ships were called “Water tanks for Russia” to disguise them as well…….so the stretch is getting shorter LOL.Well, the Army initially called the tank a 'Land Ship'!! Soooo, maybe a long stretch of the imagination!

I mentioned that I didn't have any Russian Wingy thing,and he offered this up for a swap initially.When I asked him what he fancied in exchange he changed his mind,and said "just have it".... wouldn't even accept anything for postage!!
In the end he settled on," buy me a pint some time",which means that this will actually end up the most expensive kit I've ever got.....
..... do you know how much it costs to get from Devon to Northern Ireland?!!!
..... it is indeed....National Express is still a thing......

Having used it plenty before easy jet became a thing they kick you off the bus and put you on a ferry, that floats, the bus used to go stop at every village between Stranraer and Carlisle though, but they've since had bypasses built so don't know if that's still the case...... it is indeed....
.... but they don't float very well!!
Well, it's now official....
