Amen to that. Putin has put a lot cash back into the military.

Is that the upgrades paid for by Germany / EU buying Russian gas, no wonder Trump was concerned about Germany giving money to Russia instead of NATO.

April 1968
Was going out with a BOAC stewardess and she cancelled a date as she had to go to Australia.
This was the dreadful outcome: 127 passengers and crew were on board, and shortly after take-off there was a loud bang and a fire started in a port engine which fell off.
The pilot was able to turn the plane and make an emergency landing, by which time the plane was well alight. Rescue services were primitive in those days, but only 5 died, including Jane Harrison, who stood by her post.
For her immense bravery and commitment, she was posthumously awarded the George Cross, the only one at the time in peacetime and at the age of 22.
