    Do not have a link to it however there was a recent story here that Britain sold Canberra bombers to Chile during the Falklands. They were equipped with the latest British cameras that was also in use in US spy planes. What had not been mentioned before was that they were ‘delivered’ by British crews who then used them for reconnaissance of Argentina from Chilean bases

    Taking the example of the mouse that roared, the USA declared War on England in 1812. But that wasn't the mouse. The US invaded Canada, and the Canadians sent them home.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    The US thought the Canadians would rise up against the British. They didn't.

    I'm going to shamelessly use the topic of divers, to tell the story of Bill Fitzgerald, RAN clearance diver legend, as told on life on the line podcast, for no other reason than it is a ripping good yarn. Told whilst in an aged home , aged 90.

    Not sure, might have been Catalyst, some years ago, science bods developed some sonar system that could pick up scuba divers in the water (but not their regular 'dives'), demonstrated in Sydney Harbour? Might have been developed to monitor sharks?
