Wikipedia says there was a schwarm of pre production prototype jets flying escort for the He-111s that were acting as pathfinders for the Ar 234 strike package. I'm pretty sure that the Mk 108s couldn't penetrate the plot armor on the 757 in any event...Channel surfing.
Landed on a "B" movie called flying WW2.
Plot has a 757 flying through a storm and emerging in the middle of the night during a WW2 air battle.
the 757 is then buzzed by Me 262's.
Cuts to inside the cabin and two history geeks are reading a book on WW2 aircraft, they point to a pic of a Ju 87 then inform the captain they saw He111's being escorted by Ju88's !
They then say the 757 has emerged over a Luftwaffe air raid on St Nazaire in 1940.
it is then engaged in a furious dog fight with 4 Me 262's.

While driving today I noticed an Auto Repair Garage with a sign saying the following:
"We use only essential oils and all our parts are gluten free"

Been needing a new bookcase for some time now, as all the current shelves are full, and every horizontal surface in the house has a pile of books on it - including parts of the floor !!
I've been dallying over getting the Ikea 'Billy / Oxberg', with glass doors, in oak finish, which costs £125, so not too bad - but then there's a whopping £40 for delivery - and I'd have to struggle to un-pack and assemble it !!
Just found one, used but in good, nearly new condition, and of course assembled, 1 mile away from me, for £50.
I be a happy bunny !
Oh, and I've just ordered a new office chair, all singing, all dancing - with a massage function too !!
(No Jan, it doesn't come with a Swedish blonde bird !)

I too use Gumtree here, some great bargains.
Some even if I use Once is cheaper than renting tools.

Strange, extended nose on that Lanc - wonder if it's a Lincoln with a Lanc nose grafted on to the front ?

That's what I thought at first, but look at the length from the transport joint, in front of the cockpit, to the front of the nose.
Also, the length from the front wall of the bomb bay (which is the rear wall of the bomb aimer's compartment) to the front of the nose.
The Lanc has a slight slope from the windscreen to turret, whereas this is straight, and longer, like the Lincoln.

Son was laid off at the end of 2019, part of the horrendous down-turn in the forest industry here in B.C.. Today he was hired for another job, without an interview. They just told him to show up prepared to work

The wife got me an early birthday present.
.........but I guess that does mean I'll be a year older here in a few days.

I was at the airport the other day and the couple in front of me were talking. I heard the man say (with a hint of sadness in his voice):
"The TSA took my peanut butter."

I turned 70 on the 5th and can now say that I truly am an "OLD FART". At my favorite tobacco shop, they call me Bernie Sanders because the kids there think that I look like him. So I just tell them that if I'm elected, there will be a Toilet paper Tax. If you have money to flush I want it.
