Title: Climate Change
Post by: Tony G on Jul 10, 2011, 17:34:44
On May 11, 1944, a warm and cloudless spring day, U.S. Army Air Force B-24 Liberators, B-17 Flying fortresses and their fighter escorts lifted off from airfields across southeast England. They climbed, circled, and then formed into one huge formation before heading out to bomb targets in Nazi-occupied Europe.

That explains the "Special Relationship" we have with the US

They get to go to the moon and do the other things.
We get the crap weather  :!

I think it's time to renegotiate  8)
