Sierra Hotel India Tango

It’s like the Battle of Britain he moans I can’t survive this bombardment he groans And then he said Sh*t That’s a direct hit What kind of numpty films fireworks with drones
5 November is Guy Fawkes day in the UK in celebration of Mr Fawkes and associates trying to blow up the Houses of Parliament. Some would say he should have succeeded.

Thanks, Milt. Those drones, as amazing as they are, are becoming intrusive. I love the notion of a mega expensive drone being taken out by a two bit firework. ;-) Terry

I was quite proud of myself, Tom. I made up the title before checking the phonetic alphabet. Turns out I got it spot on.

lol Terry. Sounds like your title is code for a Battalion. He's lucky to be alive after a direct hit. Good one for Tania.

Of course it never occurred to me that non-Brits don’t celebrate Guy Fawkes night, when said Mr Fawkes tried to blow up parliament. Oh well… hope you got the gist.

Thanks, Jenna. With every man and his horse owning a drone nowadays, and with firework night upon us, I wondered if drones ever get shot out of the sky by fireworks. A quick google session confirmed my suspicions. Glad you enjoyed. Terry
