This is a normal post Trust me, I did nothing properly.
I borrowed a mountain bike off my mate. Forgot to reraise the seat after we got it out of the boot, so it was like Danny from The Shining riding round Blenheim. The gears fucked up as soon as I put all my massive POWER through the pedals, so I had 2 gears, 1st and 7th. As part of the transition, after I'd rolled around trying to get my wetsuit off (think elephant seal crushing its young on a Patagonian beach) I realised I'd put my cycling shorts on back-to-front. I was Cameo.

That was just the cycling.

I left my tent behind in a mountain marathon. I had to empty my rucksack at registration to prove I had the minimum required gear and managed to leave it in the marquee.
I did not make the checkpoint in time to be allowed to continue through the night. Given how wet my bag was when I woke up, I was very glad I'd put most of my clothes in a plakky bag when I conked out. After a few hours of shivering and cramp I abandoned the sleeping bag as it weighed more than me.

And this is far from the worst mistake I've made involving uncomfortable nights out. A standout was a forced mountain bivouac on an alpine ledge. The guide was cool as fuck. But do not spend eight hours freezing your bollocks off with a german doctor. Or a very young ACFC spreading out his tent in a lovely Scottish field close to a stream - when the midges rose from the long grass like the lord's vengeance.
And don't get me started on my poor decision making skills regarding sleeping with women. The torture never stops.

Bleinheim is well nice though. But some cunt drove into the back of me in Woodstock at 30 mph when I was stationary waiting for someone to turn right. I was so cross I called the fuzz. They breathalysed me. Outrageous. It gets worse. RammyMcRamface was a forrin. In fairness he was very apologetic and was insured by Tesco, who were very good and got me a courtesy car before my own insurers did, but even so.

is a nice course and perfect for first timers of all abilities !
I was forced to take a detour at 30mph across a field on something similar to video above in the pouring rain by a woman on a bike with a basket on the front who suddenly stopped in front of me to pick flowers (I assume :-)). Deciding it was safer to ditch than to stay on the bike I lay it down and slid about 30 metres in thick muddy sh*t.I got back on and finished but the pictures of me show a beautiful clean kit from one side, and a filthy black mess from the other.

This is a normal post Size required is dictated by a: bb shell width and b: chainset used, since they can sit on the spindle differently depending on the design.
So for example an FC-2450 chainset like what's on my winter bike, mounted on a cartridge BB with a spindle of 113 would locate the midpoint between the chainrings at 43.5 which is the recommended Shimano road double measurement.

Where do the two cables go that come from the ends of the aero bars? Beyond squashing them into a sort of z shape near the headset. Are they additional brake controls, or what?

have shifter buttons on the tri bar ends. You'll note its electronic shifting. Plus hyrdo disc braking.
You'll also note that when he's threading the cables there's a bloody great open space just in front of the bottom bracket. there's where tri athletes hide their mechanical doping.

It's SRAM wireless shifting. You can see him testing the shifters with the wireless controller on the bench at 9:00.

The brakes are TRP Hy-Rd hybrid mechanical/hydraulic disc brakes, with a hydraulic piston at the brakes which is actuated using a mechanical cable. They provide some of the advantages of hydraulic brakes (e.g. self adjusting pads) but you can use them with non hydraulic levers, like the compact aero levers fitted to this bike.

Just outside Corby used to have one these standing just inside the main gate.
It had the Luftwaffe markings on it, but had the engine removed and most of the cockpit instrumentation. It is a very small plane that still looks like it's doing 500 mph even with no engine.

This is a normal post Messerschmitt Me 321 was fitted with rockets
To help with getting air born originally designed as a heavy lift glider. Could carry over 100 fully equipped soldiers or over 20 tons of cargo.
Later models had 6 engines fitted to allow power flights. This was so big that Heinkel had to modify the He111 bomber by removing the right wing gear of one plane and the left wing of the second plane. They were rejoined by a special wing and needed 2 pilots to fly it. Just to get the glider of the ground then used jettisonable rocket packs on a frame made of steel tubing with wooden spars and covered in doped fabric

This is a normal post click click click! And 'citation needed'
I can't remember who it was but someone very early on demonstrated to Harris and Churchill that they should strip the planes right down - ditch all gunners and crew with the bare minimum - then fly high as pos and fast as pos. Even painted brilliant white and covered in fairy lights, Losses would have been far far lower. The guns were fucking pointless.

This is a normal post When compared to what any German plane was throwing at the Lancastersguns definatly lacked
And even the American had come up with the Totaly stripped down bomber and flew them in the bomber formation, to take on the fighters

Besides the Lancaster having crap guns for self defence the only armour plating to protect crew was fitted to the back of the seats, BUT not all of them, and there are several sources with details about raids that Bomber Harris stated that he wanted all armour plating removed from the planes so that they could carry one or 2 extra bombs or containers of incendury devices.

That used wire guided controls to steer on to its target, i believe this would have been mid to late 1944, these are very differant to the spin stabilized unguided rockets that first found use in the first world war

either way the crews of bombers must have had a hell of a time kowing that there number could be up at any moment once they climbed aboard there plane.

EDIT also dont forget that the SchrΓ€ge Musik could also be fired by photoelectric cell

There was a massive increase in funding for all branches of the armed servies,and a matching increase in scienific research that could be weaponised and led to many of the weapons systems that they used against us, there reseaerch into nuclear weapons was on a different track to that taken by the Americans, but did poses advanced infrared triggers to detonate the devices they where working on, the design was stolen/copyed some even say given to the US and used on there bombs that ended WW2
It was this advanced technology that led to the formation and execution of operation paper clip this was to find and appropriate the scientists and ship them to the US under asumed names, the most famous of these men was the head of the US space program Werner von Braun

'that'll ruin the food!'
The physicist suggests putting them on a fire
