It will be interesting to see how long it will be before the RAAF take action about this spy ballon?

Re: Spotted in Australia
Thats unlike Des isnt a schooner only two masted ?. It used to be 1 for each leg and one for the road to those cutting back on the booze. So would have to be a proper ship 3 or 4 masted and square rigged on at least 3. JS
