    Castles....

    Marlbork Castle, Poland. Called Marienborn by the Teutonic Order, whose HQ it was. The biggest brick-built castle in the world!

    “Clock” on the instrument panel of Spitfires, various Mks?

    The image of the ARCs MkV instrument panel appears to show a modern dial where the clock should be. If you look carefully, it appears to have an LCD display.

    Pre-WW1 prop boss - any ideas?

    A pal of mine has sent me these images of an Armstrong Whitworth propellor boss! Any ideas on the “ what, where, when” of this substantial piece of timber would be greatly appreciated!

    Help Identifying Shell

    What's the diameter of the round? Also, being ex-military, I wouldn't have risked putting it in my luggage to move it out of the Oman, especially if unsure of the FFE status!

    Warsaw Pact & Nuclear Weapons

    A few years ago, I was at a conference held just outside Prague, which was held in the former Czechoslovak national CBRN reporting command post. Our hosts told us that they always considered that NATO would use nukes first!
