    It isn't abortion. It's murder. There, I said it. My opinion. This is a forum.

    That's good ........but these are better, faster and more manoeuverable .....

    Twin Mercruiser V8s; 46 knots and, even with a full payload, will operate in 10cms depth of water.

    An experience never to be forgotten!

    p.s., I gather they may be converting them to electric propulsion. Pity - it will certainly lose some of the "aural sex" appeal! :D

    A good article, and a brave man that should be celebrated. However I find the fact that there are black poppies annoying and disapointing. Red poppies commemorate ALL who have served regardless of race, religion or skin colour. Black poppies are just commemorating one single ethnic group over all others, how divisive is that? Afterall, there have been far more Indians and Brits of Indian desent that have fought and died for the UK, and what about the Nepalise Gurkhas. All should be remembered and commemorated, and I thought that was what the RED poppy did. The poppy appeal is positively awesome, but bringing identity politics in to it is most certainly not!

    Sorry for the rant in this thread, I'll get me coat :), you carry on ;)

    The red Poppy was chosen because it symbolised the blood spilt on Flanders fields, where the red Poppy’s were seen growing after the war.
    I can’t think of a more unifying symbol, everyone’s blood is the same colour
    Other colour Poppy’s are for knobjockies

    No don't be sorry you are right about the poppy, I feel the same about that it was just the mans story I was highlighting
