Brick Immortar tackles the loss of Thresher. I knew a bit about this one, it's nevertheless an interesting film about what remains a pivotal moment in sub safety.

The route stopped three years later, then the airline disappeared too. Monarch at Granada. Much closer than Malaga (90 miles away) and very convenient, but nobody seemed to be able to make it work.

Later that year, November 2005, there was a large forest fire on Veleta, destroying almost the entirety of the vegetation on the hill. It had an ashen, dark appearance for months.

Andalucia (almost impossibly to me) 18yrs ago. These yellow flowers are all over the place this time of year. #photography

German 'Biber' mini-submarine, Gosport, 2005. These weren't a huge success, and were often more dangerous to their crew than to allied shipping. #photography

@h_thoreson I don't know if you've watched any Sam Holmes, he prints a lot of little things for his boat and foil boards. It's pretty interesting (I know little of 3D printing...)

First weekend where it's really felt like the retreat of Winter. Able to remain outside after sunset in short-sleeves, as long as the wind doesn't blow. There's a smell of bbq in the air too. I don't mind it at all.

An old (2017) thing I wrote about electric motorbikes. I think they've only got better since. They've also -along with everything else - got more expensive. #EV #motorcycle

A container ship under pilotage navigates the Savannah river. There's not much room. Must be a lot of work to keep that bit of river deep enough; these vessels have a pretty deep draught. #maritime #shipping
