And explosion welding:

Its (explosion welding) origins, however, go back to World War I, when it was observed that pieces of shrapnel sticking to armor plating were not onl y embedding themselves, but were actually being welded to the metal. Since the extreme heat involved in other forms of welding did not play a role, it was concluded that the phenomenon was caused by the explosive forces actin g on the shrapnel. These results were later duplicated in laboratory tests and, not long afterwards, the process was patented and put to use.

It interesting that it's not totally a 'graveyard'. Air worthy stuff is staged until there is a customer. And other aircraft are 'parted' out as needed.

But it sure is fascinating.

I used to live about 15mi south of there.

Not south enough if you were still in the U.S.- GET OUT!

Phil..

Is that you?

No, it wasn't South enough (though I moved 200mi North from there). Too many damned lefties, like you, dumbshit!

Nah, Phyllis makes sense sometimes.

I think Bloggs is the infamous "Robert" of days long past. Bloggs did let slip he lives in Richmond. Guess it's time to pay another "visit". ...Jim Thompson
