Rather typical of yer Krautish and yer British engineering of the time
in general really.  I'm quite sure that I didn't read it on the interweb
but I seem to have a recollection of hearing that if it weren't for the
unexploded ordinance and wonky bullets and stuff the filthy Hun would
have won both world wars in under three years.

In a way though it's a pretty good piece of work - it managed to
crash-land with sufficient violence to bury itself, then had at least
two buildings thrown up and torn down over it (they're demolishing an
eighties light-industrial unit in which quite a few of my mates have
worked). All without going boom. Personally I'm quite impressed.

And to think the IRA and the ragheads both wanted to blow up Canary
Wharf. All the explosive they needed was right there, all the time....

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Doc Gonz0 <ukrm@cluebyfour.co.uk>
saying something like:
