Normandy I am in you But once again… accommodation lets us down. Thought it would be way better than it is (website photos VERY flattering)
It is #TankTuesday once more Bluesky Let's return to Tankfest 2014, which was themed as 'All American Armor' that year, and was probably the last time the arena was used before remodelling for 'elf 'n safety reasons.
Booked a tour next Monday involving one of these while in Normandy Not excited… much
I'm absolutely devastated for colleagues at Jodrell Bank who found out this morning that funding for the UK's e-MERLIN radio telescope array will be terminated. This is a short-sighted move, to save a tiny fraction of the overall UK science budget. #SaveJodrellBank 🔭🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Jodrell Bank's Lovell telescope faces axe in science cuts, BBC understands

Astronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine Heymans@astroroyalscot.bsky.social · 3w ago“What will the Lovell Telescope discover/enable 20 yrs from now? I can’t tell you, and that’s the point. It will either be something extraordinary that none of us can yet predict, or we will defund it and leave Cheshire with a rusting monument to unfulfilled potential and discoveries never made.” 🔭🧪
Siri, show me a country in managed decline

Jodrell Bank? JODRELL FUCKING BANK??? Fuck off and tax the super rich you absolute bellends.

#TankTuesday - these are probably the oldest personal photos of heavy metal I have - my first weekend in BAOR just before Ex Lionheart, and we had an open day for the locals, and NATO brought the toys along to show off. My crappy cassette camera didn't do them justice of course, but, brand new...
