The stories it could tell.

This is from the summer of 1889.

(Content Warning: drowning)
Content Warning: Drowning. This 1889 newspaper report, found at British Newspaper Archive, reads: 'An Inquest was held on Tuesday before Harry Wayman, Esq., Deputy-Coroner, on the body of Edward Foreman, who was drowned on the previous Saturday evening in the Brandon river by the sinking of a boat. Deceased was 31 years of age. Frederick Palmer, of Feltwell said deceased was at the Waterman's Arms with him and others. Deceased was grinding his scythe. Palmer and deceased, with H. Ruddenham and Abraham Johnson, had some beer; but at closing time left the house quite sober. They proceeded to the boat, belonging to the landlord of the Waterman's Areas, lying by the side of the river opposite the public-house, and is used for crossing the river. They all got into the boat for that purpose. Palmer took the "sprit," and, when all were seated, shoved the boat off. The "sprit" stuck in the mud, and, when Palmer tried to draw it, the boat went from under him, and he fell into the water. He caught hold of the stern of the boat, which caused it to dip and fill with water. The boat sank, and, whilst sinking, the deceased, Ruddenham, and Johnson, got out of it into the river. It was getting dark at the time, but Palmer could see. The deceased appeared to sink almost immediately the boat went down. Palmer got to the river bank, and only once saw deceased's head above the water. Ruddenham and Johnson got out of the water on the opposite bank to Palmer. As soon as it was light on Sunday morning Johnson searched in the river where decessed was seen to go down, and recovered the body. Abraham Johnson gave corroborative evidence. Deceased, when in the water, called him by his nickname, and asked for Johnson to assist him. Johnson told deceased to make for the shore, and he (Johnson) said he would do what he could as soon as he reached the shore himself. He was fast in the mud, and was quite unable to make an effort to recover the deceased. Verdict, "Accidentally drowned."'

had a quick lunch, and went off to take oblique photographs of Mildenhall, Marham, Cranwell, Feltwell, Digby, Waddington, Newark, Upper Heyford and Bicester. Found them all OK though weather none too good; thundery with haze even flying at 1,000ft. Got lost on first leg for a bit, but

Jupiter, built by Chrysler Corp., was competing with Douglas Aircraft Co.’s Thor, a similar IRBM. The plan was to deploy only the best of the two. However, post-Sputnik political pressure and economic claims from the contractors and their allies in Congress led the DoD to arbitrarily authorize both.
A ground-level color photograph of a Jupiter missile against a blue sky deployed in Çiğli, Turkey, with the bottom of the missile encased in its protective “petal” shelter. The Turkish flag (a red field with a crescent and a white five-pointed star) is visible near the top of the missile, above an emblem featuring a mushroom cloud. A soldier in green fatigues is walking toward the camera, dwarfed by the missile behind him. A tall fence topped with barbed wire is visible in the background. A black and white British newspaper photograph of a Thor intermediate-range missile deployed on its vertical launch stand in the United Kingdom, with a Royal Air Force emblem visible near the top of the white missile. About 20 men stand in front of the missile, two of whom have guard dogs on leashes. The caption reads: “A ROCKET AND ITS CREW. The officers and men who form the launch crew standing in front of a Thor intermediate-range ballistic missile at the R.A.F. Station Feltwell, Norfolk. Bomber Command’s Thor base is now operational and will complete its building to a strength of 60 missiles by the middle of the year. (Report - Following Page.) The crew includes R.A.F. police with guard dogs that patrol the area. The 65ft-high missile, supplied by the United States, carries a nuclear warhead in the megaton range.”

Two Cobra meetings were held to discuss the incursions over Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, RAF Fairford and RAF Feltwell. Military police, members of the US Navy and police experts investigated the drones, which were unaffected by countermeasures such as electronic jamming.

One fool I've mentioned before, in the middle of it Coulthart declared that "according to his sources" nuclear weapons were being stored at all three bases, RAF Lakenheath, Mildenhall & Feltwell.

Yeah, Feltwell Norfolk went Deform too (but Norwich city didn't which was a result). Maybe if more than 46% had got off their arses to vote.... The deform candidate is even called "prigg" which I find hilarious ...
Chin up, they will hopefully reveal their incompetence

The New York Times reported that the US fighter jet downed in Iran was likely operating from one of two British airbases: RAF Lakenheath or RAF Feltwell. Within the first few weeks of the war over 100 fighter jets were deployed to the region from RAF Lakenheath alone

The UK is complicit in US wars.
