I'm in the RAF, and whilst sitting in the cockpit of a Voyager a/c, en route to the Ascension Islands in the middle of the Atlantic, I asked the pilot, "How on earth did people find tiny islands in the middle of the ocean all those years ago?" To which he replied, "I have no bloody idea"

So my question is: How on earth did you find such difficult targets, given that the enemy will try to deceive you, you had little-to-no modern equipment and had the enemy trying to shoot you?

From what I can tell from statistics, that show the real danger you guys faced, the skill and bravery you shown day to day is unparallelled. Much respect to you, sir!

I'm guessing quakes couldn't ever be prevented, but could we get to the stage of predicting them to a high accuracy? If so, how far away is this technology?

My Nan always used to claim that they used pins in the children's feet to make them work faster when they were sent to clean chimneys. Do you still use poor, malnourished Victorian boys to do the work? I'll be sure to tell her.

Ah, good. I'll be sure to hangup my call to NSPCC.
