Barely-on-topic, if anyone's ever near Duxford IWM, their American Air Force display (a whole hangar) is ruddy marvellous, and features an SR-71 Blackbird, which is about as close to a 'space age' vehicle as most of us mere mortals will ever come, and certainly closer to home.  :)

We were at Duxford for an Autobahnstormers national day when they had the front off the American hangar and were taking the SR-71 in[not under its own steam obviously]I'd previously seen the SR at Mildenhall air base when at one of their airshows.What a fantastic and beautiful aircraft.

I agree. It is endless, and even this morning it is still going on, well on the BBC anyway. I witnessed the stepping out the moon first time round on the BBC, and I have now seen that clip dozens of times this week. It is a great historic event, but they have certainly been milking it!

Perhaps now the anniversary of the actual day of the landing has past, yesterday, it will now ease up.  I just wonder though how much the younger generations are now interested in this event, but I hope they are. ;)

The 'new news' will be that Boris has taken the reins from Theresa.

Good news?

Bad news?

Trump seems pleased. :)
