Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I notice in the bottom pic of a windmill blade going through a trucks windscreen, the blade still has the wrapping on it! I would guess someone wasn't looking where they were going.
