    The German Army used attack dogs on the Russian front, trained to find food under tanks then magnetic mine strapped to their back to run under attacking Russian tanks.

    A German V1

    Spitfire "tipping-off" a V1. If you've never heard of this insane tactic ....... At first V1's were shot down by gunfire.
    .With the high risk of being blown up, some of the best pilots started tipping the V1's wing, because of damage to
    wing tips they later developed a tactic of disrupting the airflow by placing their wing very close to the V1's wing,
    causing it to topple. Not every pilot did this. At night this was not possible, the flame from the V1 blinded the pilot
    to everything else, though some Mossie pilots flew past closely in front of the V1, again causing it to topple.

    The Victoria Hall disaster, in which 183 children died, occurred in Sunderland, Great Britain on 16 June 1883 at the Victoria Hall, which was a large concert hall on Toward Road facing onto Mowbray Park.

    some great photos there fellas. Comm, the Victoria Hall disaster is probably one of the least publicised disasters to have happened in England. I don't think many outside of the north east know about it.

    Wouldn't worry about it fella. Pretty obscure fact all the same, unlocked a lot of memories from my studies I'd forgotten about. Cheers fella.
