A New Era Begins for the Royal Navy


      This is the moment the first British Jet the F35 Lightening Stealth Jet, touches down on the flight deck of the Royal Navy's Aircraft Carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, on Tuesday the 25th of September. The Aircraft Carrier was originally planned to carry a compliment of 36 of the F35's now reduced to 24. Yet still a formidable force, offering a capability matched by very few other nations. To support British and Allied naval operations across the globe.

Roman Stone Fountain In The Bin


      An interesting and no doubt important 2000 year-old Roman Fountain Garden Ornament, found in Colchester back in 1998 now thought to be of immeasurable value. Has been "thrown-out" by the local council, due to the fact it was said to be "too big to store." 
      Reportedly the item was damaged in excavation and through exposure to the British weather and may have been too expensive to restore. Colchester council, have stated a balance must be struck with the level of public funding and storage space available, for such items and occasionally difficult decisions must be made.
