There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

LOL!

For me the best Christmas trees are the ones that can be put up in your living room with minimal effort. Preferably fake ones with built in stands. smile

I wonder when Christmas trees inside private homes first started as a tradition? My guess would be sometime in the 1800's.

This is how Canada will plans to get around the soft wood lumber trade dispute with the U.S.....one tree at a time.

Uh, I thought that dispute was resolved during Bill Clinton's second term in office? So in other words late 1990's!

Much earlier Panzer.

Germany is credited with starting the Christmas tree tradition as we now know it in the 16th century when devout Christians brought decorated trees into their homes. Some built Christmas pyramids of wood and decorated them with evergreens and candles if wood was scarce.

Interesting info Chucky. Thanks for posting that!

**nerd nitpicking time**


Of course in the 16th century there was no "Germany" but instead the Holy Roman Empire and associated principalities. wink

We have the best Christmas tree ever - it's an "ever green", is 3 feet tall with very small built-in Christmas lights and takes less than 5 min to get from the attic and plug in dowstairs

I think Canada's best Christmas tree is in Boston Common right now. Nova Scotia still sends one each year.

we grow lots here in North Carolina mountains, but have had several tough years and they have not planted as many so this year the numbers are down.
