The UK, the world, and above all Her Majesty the Queen, have lost someone irreplaceable. A great character and a great man.

Two months short of his ton as well.

I avoided Twitter and YouTube yesterday....

AFD on YT can be very good if you know where to look.

Meanwhile, this is what really happened.

I wish I could screen shot the tech manual, I did a cut and paste in the Quotations directly from the book. The copy I have may be Americanized as it doesn't have a (^) in any of the listed numbers.
