    WWII shipwrecks a 'ticking time bomb' for Federated States of Micronesia

    The "surrounding bits" would include the South Essex coast, including Southend on Sea, and a sizeable chunk of the north Kent coast! She's regularly inspected by the Royal Navy, and has a monitored exclusion zone covered by CCTV! Just the sort of thing the Russians might take a pop at!😳

    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.
