I pass this 'flash fiction' on via BoingBoing, for what it's worth. Good job it's not Marines v Royal Marines, eh? (*cough* Penobscot *cough*) ;-)

Hmmmm .....

Convenient that enough fuel for the helicopters was also transported to the past. After a few days, or even hours of operation those machines will be little more than fascinating sculptures.

Even so, an amusing little bit -- wonder when this will premiere as a new series on the Sci-Fi channel ... ?

:roll: :wink:

I sure hope the SF channel does it rather than the history channel! SF would be more likely to get the gear right!

It's time for AW channel! 24 hrs of movies and documentaries - it could be done! And for the buffs, a discussion programme about gear and movies. :mrgreen:
