D1. Wakefield to North Sea via Newcastle.
Awful train from Wakefield to Newcastle, stood or leaning against corridor walls!
Metro and a short walk to the Port of Tyne for a fabulously smooth trip across the North Sea @dfds_uk ferry to Amsterdam.

I want to start a new thread story. Not sure how long it will be and I may use different prompts: #vss365 #vssmagic #vssnature etc etc ... I love reading about legends and folk lore, and in my fantasy writing I often create my own myths. So this will be just a fun exercise...
According to #lore &myths of old,griffins nestled on these cliffs long ago. They swooped down on the unsuspecting;carried them off never to be seen again.
Griffins were not elemental creatures,but air & earth did have dominion over them; their only enemy -fire.

"I helped your troupe avoid #shadow and #gore," said the dark wizard simply, implying that he saved us from the mythical griffins. I gaped at him. "And now for what you promised."

"No," I was careful not to get trapped in words, "I said: after you summon her."

Heute wird im @BMVg_Bundeswehr debattiert. Es geht um die Nutzung von bewaffneten Drohnen in der Bundeswehr. Vor zwei Jahren war ich in Mali als Zugführer im Einsatz. Mit dabei die Heron, eine unbewaffnete Drohne. Ein Thread aus Sicht eines Soldaten:
#Drohnendebatte2020 #Drohnen
Mein Auftrag war es mit meinen rund 40 Männern (ich hatte wirklich nur Männer im Zug) als Teil der Schutzkompanie, FP Coy, die Sicherung des Lagers, Camp Castor, sicherzustellen. Dazu gehörten Patrouillen im Umkreis, um z.B. Raketen- und Mörserbeschuss zu verhindern.
Daneben gab es auch längere Patrouillen, LTPs, oder mehrtägige Operationen weiter weg, um Aufklärungseinheiten zu beschützen. Für solch größere Vorhaben hatten wir die #Heron, die zur Road Recce, meistens Stunden voraus geflogen ist.
