And then there is the V-2. A weapon so devestating they said it was better to let it fly and detonate where ever it landed than shoot it down, it was safer for everyone.

I have read that one particularly enthusiastic Spitfire pilot, whilst on a "rhubarb" mission, attempted to do just that to a V-2 in the process of launch. World's first ABM?

They could shoot down a V-2, the issue was that the total tonnage of AAA needed to do so would generate a greater mass of explosives falling back to earth as dud rounds than in the V-2 itself.

Whitch is why it was better to do nothing at all. The V-2s were very ineffective weapons, doing more damage to the Germans than to the British.

Of course it was, point them at something dangerous, something ingenious and absurd is bound to happen

Not a pic but a point just proves Australia must be terrifying for tourists

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

Yes, Sea Crocodile is really dangerous, some say more than sharks.

Maybe he's someone of importance in the crew that got to have his own spot? Who knows. You're right though, its a damn impressive pic that does show the size of the ship well as well.
