Thanks TW for getting the photos. I did a 280+ miles RT.
One thing that comes to mind. We're viewing and old relic. It was a survivor and victor in the great war. I think it is a physical representation of the men that made it succeed. Some luck, lots of skill, hard work and more stress for sure.
I hate to see suffering in the world. I hope in the future that we'll see fewer and and fewer Batfish and the struggle and cost of people they represent.
