Only thought about that after the deed was done, so put a notification in there instead. Can you identify the Aberdeen player beside Charlie Tully - unluckily I don't have card 13 with the answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I've got a shoebox stuffed full of cigarette cards that I rescued from the bin at work, as I couldn't bear to see them chucked out. Unfortunately, they must have been sitting in somebody's damp garage for years, as they're all stuck together. Well, that's what I've been telling myself, anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sabout 3 quarters of their entire personnel died. They had their 'happy times' when sinking of freight tonnage became worrisome to the British, but the British side generally stayed ahead in terms of tactics and technology. You won't find it dramatised into a mid budget oscar bait starring Benedict Cumberbatch - but the development of centimetric radar really was a massive game changer, alongside long range patrol aircraft and forward throwing ASW weapons: A depth charge would be rolled off the back of a frigate, which meant the frigate basically had to run over the U-boat's position, generating so much noise that sonar contact with the U-boat was lost, allowing the U-boat to quickly shift position during the black out window and escape. Later they had the hedgehog and finally the Squid ASW Mortar which lobbed a ring of munition a 100 metres out in front of the ship, with their depth fuses set by the ship's own sonar, designed to detonate above and below the U-boat and crush it in a compression wave. Most dangerous job in the Atlantic was being a merchant sailor on a tanker. Especially the ones carrying aviation fuel. Those guys got extra pay due to the extreme unliklieness of them being able to abandon ship if it were hit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 And seriously, on a New Order FB group a video was posted to commemorate the 40th anniversary of their single "Temptation". However, rather than play either of the versions which came out in 1982, the musical accompaniment to the video is the dreadful 1987 remix which appeared on their compilation LP "Substance". I opined as such and it looks like Bernard agrees with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
