quite a busy day with some landmark events there. Was a max temp listed?

1986- Mushyb86 was born

still going well lancer, many thanks. Its always a good read. Its strange to see the differences between NZ and the UK and how in November the max and min still has a near 30 degree range. Where is athlone castle?

GB / Europe focus is great Lance but how did they get Nelson up there?

Thanks sounds like a wonderful setting

Will we ever know who was really behind this terrible tradgedy ? :icon_sad:

8 years on, we have "home grown" terrorists plotting to blow up airliners in mid atlantic, including women and children passengers. They are caught and found guilty...and now the taxpayer must pay to keep them in prison for life.:jpshakehe

4 x 9mm rounds would cost us less than £1! :)

2001
The USA had their worst terrorist attack when -

2 Jet Airliners are flown into the World Trade Centre
1 Jet Airliner is flown into the Pentegon
1 Jet Airliner crashes over PA, Usa

Thanks again for these blogs TS-always an interesting read.

so many questions and comments. Back to school for me

10th August 2003 was recorded in Brogdale, which is a small village about 2 miles south of Faversham

If i had a scanner i would scan the page. It is from a book i got. But i don't think i will reveal which one apart from it's from quite a well known forecaster...

Hello, what is the source of the statement that air temperature fell to minus 3 in London on August 24th 1940? I was searching for some more info on this and found a reference to the the lowest temp, in August 1940 in London being 6.8c. There is a mention of minus 3 being recorded in December however.

I was looking at the chart archives for August 1981, and the evolution of high pressure, and a low pressure across France, between the 6th and about the 10th is strikingly similar to what is predicted this year The main difference is that the 6th August 1981 came on the back of a hot spell, if not a heatwave whereas this year it's just quite warm

An interesting read TS - thanks.

Excellent Stuff TS

Thank you Lancer for picking up the baton and also for the little additions that make it your own, rather than a copy. I'm sure Dave would have been proud to see his contributions continued in this manner.

Thanks Lance, I like the 617 squadron information, Dave would appreciate that.

Thanks Lancer.

Thank you Lancer. Lovely tribute!

Thanks Lancer, very much appreciated.
