You’re going to have to hurry it up going forward. We can’t be waiting 4 seconds after the ping for the diary to show up. Two should be enough.

Germans target British airplane factories

Wednesday, September 25, 1940 www.onwar.com

Over Britain... Most of the German attacks are against aircraft factories up to the end of the month (September 30th). Factories in Bristol, Southampton and Yeovil are all hit but defending fighters exact a high price. The RAF loses 82 planes and the Luftwaffe 143.

In French West Africa... The British battleship Resolution is seriously damaged by a torpedo. The Barham takes a 15-inch hit from Richelieu. Following these setbacks the operation is abandoned on Churchill’s orders.

In the Mediterranean... As a retaliation for the events at Dakar, Vichy air forces again attempt to raid Gibraltar. Again, little damage is done.

In Oslo... Terboven, the Reichs Commissioner, deposes the King of Norway formally and appoints Quisling to lead the new Norwegian government.

LOL! You’re lucky I got it up at all. I’ve been up since 3:30 loading up and going to a multi-family garage sale and only ran back home because I left a table in the garage.
