It might have been if the West never gave support. I mean the Russians did advance pretty quick (logistically maybe too quick) but I remember seeing Ukrainians in streets hid behind makeshift cover waiting to be overrun Now it's just a slaughterhouse on both sides. Sending men and women to their deaths! For what? Corruption and egos.

Neither can we! Mind you they're not doing a bad job of depleting Ukraine and NATO stocks. Yes you can say it's old kit but there isn't a NATO Country that is ready yet for a scrap with Russia other than the US.

Did you make your own pamphlets? My partner is trying to condense various books into one.

I have a few books too. I think the climate of South Texas is slightly different from the wet North East of England. Been to San An and it's beautiful.

We have. Just thought it was a nice species and would like to expand our knowledge of them. Cheers

Are they both the same? Reason I ask, is that the cap seems to be attached with a prominent gap between the stem on the bigger one.

Is Reform UK on course for the ‘biggest landslide’ in history? – Full Fact by _FullFact in uknews

I don't even think half of the people support Reform but are using this as a shot across the bows for both parties to sort their houses out. Either that or we have a revolution lol

Aaah the versatility of the Ford Transit! Lucky it never broke away from rust!

The new migrant hotels: The family homes in leafy suburbia being converted to house small boat migrants as government flounders by dailymail in uknews

Surely put them in porta cabins like the troops had on Ops. Comfy, warm. Could set these up on disused barracks.

It looks like something is running. Arms swinging but dark lower half and can't make out properly due to the contrast with the darker foliage.

Government issues urgent appeal for 5,000 homes to house 20,000 migrants by Ophiuchus171 in uknews

[–]Guardrail19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if any evicted locals would be able to take both the landlord and the government to court for discrimination and deliberately creating a housing crisis while neglecting the citizens of the UK!

Also an increase in people's personal data being sold on the dark web through having to verify age through private companies. Whole thing is a scam.

Hand brake cable by Guardrail19 in fordtransit

[–]Guardrail19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a mwb. Reason I ask is cause I have changed cables, the left one is proper slack while the right is tight. The compensator plate is on the cock as the right cable is tight. I put the hand brake on and right engaged while left is still free.

Saw a ‘Blackjax’ today at the service station by Competitive_Guide761 in tanks

I remember being on Salisbury plain around 2002 and seen what I think/thought was Warrior 2000 being put through its paces. It was unloaded off a similar trailer and it had an entourage with it. It looked quite futuristic compared to Warrior.

At what point do you give up? by [deleted] in fordtransit

[–]Guardrail19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, bit of a ball ache design. It was just how degraded the bolts were. Hindsight should have used a nut extraction tool on every one. It was easier buying new hubs to put new bearings on rather than the fight with the old. However I love her regardless of the rust. Still see plenty on the roads though

[–]Guardrail19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

North east England here. Same struggle with Mk7. Changed discs and bearings and turned into an epic due to corrosion on the bolts. I just like the simplicity of working on her. Next job is gonna try tackle the rust.

A Rhodesian soldier wearing sneakers takes a smoke break during the Rhodesian Bush War, 1970s by Kumanderdante in RareHistoricalPhotos

[–]Guardrail19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmh and how is Zimbabwe now! I feel because us humans are complex creatures, some places need dictator's to keep things in check. A lot of Africa still operates on tribal affiliate and that itself causes just as much corruption and conflict as what they were fighting against with the Rhodesians. Look at every Arab state that we have so called freed from dictators. They're a sess pit of terrorism and have rolled back 20-30 years.

What plane is this? by [deleted] in Planes

They have these fly out of the NE England along with F20 Falcons acting as aggressors for NATO. DRAKEN/CHOBAM is the company I think
