"the island suffered a devastating fire which destroyed much of the country's administrative centre"
- his desk got burnt "and the main power generation facility which serves its population and industries." - His Honda 50cc generator got burnt "Fortunately, back-up systems exist which permit its activities to continue" - He has a battery |

Re: The nation of.....Sealand
"only" 660lb warhead
travelling at 90-odd miles per hour, that's going to ruin someones day... ps. Keithd - They aren't just designed for proximity explosions, they can be programmed to explode on contact too Still, I'd rather just ignore them than blow them up for being sea-pikeys  (love that expression)

Re: The nation of.....Sealand
Forget the torpedos, I don't think it'd remain habitable for long after a few rounds from one of HM's destroyers.
How do you get on and off Sealand? Is it helicopter access only?

Re: The nation of.....Sealand
The guy is a tool, he shot and killed a 'trespasser' back in the day but jurisdiction for a trial could never be decided. The RN don't want to know as it's not a ship (tho it was floated in position) and other agencies say it's a wreck and aren't interested so they guy just sort of sits there with it.
The Red Sands forts are far spookier... |

Re: The nation of.....Sealand
Wasn't the initial idea of declaring the island it's own principality, purposefully to evade tax?
Sounds like a plan to me. |
