Victorian Britain had its own anti-vaxxers – and they helped bring down a government

Continuing with the naval theme, my grandfather, a canny Scot, coerced a USN bod to part with this, sometime in the '40s.

Judging by the cost of engraving in the mid sixties, I would hazard a guess and say it was owned by a Digger, who had it engraved in Vietnam.
Did you know that at one time we where trying to build a nuclear bomb? That and more trivia on found when I was looking for mines and laws in Australia. My speculation that a Diver dying stopping us from that insanity is my conspiracy trivia[biggrin][biggrin][biggrin]
NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE just my usual waffle
Australian Uranium Mining history and other bits
Did you know one of the main reasons Australia went with the American F-111 and not the British TSR-2 was that the USA gave us a better deal on the nukes they could carry. Then the Australian government changed and nukes were off the table, which didn't help get the TSR-2 over the line and into production.
Loved the F1-11 afterburner trick. I did not like picking up after they hit the water at speed! They did go fast and low. Inverting turning a turn when a few metres over my ocean before a simulated attack on my ship is not ideal!!! RIP [bighmmm]Quote:
