    #10. My observations going Back North through the canal after it had been nationalized was the army tanks and vehicles discarded on the Sinai side , and above all army boots by the hundreds .Their owners must have found they could move faster to their own side of the canal., JS

    Plenty of boots available in area when we landed in 11/56, trouble was they were all too big, not only boots, uniforms and rifles as well, ordnance if I remember rightly mostly of Checz manufacture, we brought a lot back as manifested cargo, have written about it before, photos on here somewhere

    Was probably shortly after this that I saw , but the. Obstructions in the canal itself were cleared first, the boots I remembered quite a time after this. Fora few years after most of the non European pilots were Russian or Part of their so called empire. JS

    There is news today that Trump is to change the way he introduces tariffs on other countries.
    It will be at about 3% to% rather than the 10% first advocated.
    His chief financial advisor said this way there is less chance of reprisals.

    But prices will continue to rise, coffee here in Oz just went up about 9% in supermarkets due to global shortage.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.
