Luckily I'm taking Metoprolol, at least for the time being, which slows my heart rate. My 1 billion beats will take longer, allowing me time to kick from morbid obesity.

Thanks, Bruce
 A few of those airfields are still active but many returned to agriculture after WW2 and after the Cold War more were closed. Some became civil airfields, prisons, or were transferred to the army. Each will have seen its share of tragedy but also will have witnessd great bravery. RAF Tempsford, in Bedfordshire, was home to 138 and 161 Special Duties Squadrons. Their task was to support the Special Operations Executive in their operations in occupied Europe. Typically, they would fly the single engined and unarmed Lysander at night deep into France, land in a field by moonlight then drop off and pick up SOE agents. Incredibly brave.

One of Shorpy's members sent in a box of pictures belonging to him late father.
Quote:
 Another of shorpy's minions pulled a glatt and identified the street and block right away, but it took another day for someone to post this screen grab from Hitchcock's Vertigo.  The filming started in September but the 2nd unit doing backgrounds for projection in the studio, and driving scenes, shot in August.

Wow. The parked cars are all the same. That's so cool. Did the guy's dad work for the studio and grab a picture of the site they were filming?

No, the guy says they were on vacation visiting San Francisco and Monterey. If the 2nd unit wasn't obvious they wouldn't even know, but I suspect the 2nd unit film car probably had the camera and operator on an open platform outside the car.

 Life imitates art at a bus stop in North Yorkshire.

The tuned in goat goes far, while the horny goat gets left behind.
