Pretty sure we bombed the runway to stop them using it. It was quite a famous mission undertaken by some Vulcan bombers with a very elaborate refuelling schedule which meant they could just about get there and back.
Hope you don't mind a wishy washy liberal correcting a proper god-fearing Englishman on British military history.
When you wish to gain knowledge you ask the top local man in your area. Out of interest do you know how many types of rock and their constituents there are in GB alone. No you don't - like we didn't when developing machinery to process it. Would you also like to know why the cast cutting teeth contained a 5% Manganese mix?

I hate to be the one to break this to you serious, but on my travels abroad I've realised that all nationalities do humour, jokes, puns, wit and banter. In fact some of the funniest people I've ever met have been in Turkey and Tunisia and they were Muslims. I know that a Muslim with a sense of humour might be an alien concept to some on here, but they do exist if you view them with an open mind.
