I loved this show. The Moon is blasted out of Earth's orbit by a nuclear accident and the survivors on Moonbase Alpha fight for survival. The show takes place in a dense universe teaming with life.

When do fans of this show get our movie?

Both seasons are available to watch free on YouTube. Binge watch it this weekend.

I remember watching it when I was a kid, I didn't understand it, I just remember thinking it was cool.

I think this snail did a pretty good estimate of a world map.

This was quite a nasty surprise and rather too close for comfort. No damage, but went on for ages.

In honour of ANZAC day I thought I would post an extract of the ships log of HMS Argus taken on the 10th of November 1942.

The Argus was was an old (very old) aircraft carrier on her way to Malta as part of a convoy, when she was attacked by Stuka's and Torpedo bombers. She also narrowly avoided a submarine torpedo attack. I think this was the same convoy where HMS Eagle (another aircraft carrier) was sunk. This was not the only attack she survived on the journey.

My father was in this ship serving as an able signalman. I guess my brothers and I came pretty close to never being born this day. Makes you appreciate everything these men did.

Extract of the log:

17:00. Enemy aircraft detected by RDF

17:05. Action Stations

17:10. Attacked by dive bombers 1 hit, 4 killed

17:20. Attacked by torpedo bombers

17:45. Secured from action stations

20:28 - 22:22: Several emergency turns

22:22 Near miss by torpedoes

Looks like there was some kind of technical issue with photos yesterday.

Unfortunately the Aurora took a diversion from my part of the country, but a spectacular display to open ANZAC day none the less.
