[Milsurplus] WW1 bombs in Belgium; ME-262 flies at Berlin airshow

[Hue Miller]

Not radio related, but quite interesting items from military history:

"He is the head of Explosives Clearance and Destruction and a Belgian military official. The number
of live shells that now-80 years after the date-are still found daily, is not declining. Quite the
contrary: 72 mine removers work at it daily, twice as many as ten years ago.
Here in the area around Ypres 200,000 to 250,000 live shells rise to the surface each year. "

WSJ had a good article on this also, 24 May, but you have to be a subscriber
to even see it online. Gotta watch out for that bottom line!

Now this: video of  flight of re-created  ME-262, WW2 German jet fighter
plane, at Berlin airshow. Leider ist es nur auf deutsch.
