These images show the work of Roger Coulam - the UK's best extreme weather photographer. Adrenaline junkie Roger, 45, who lives in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, loves dangerous weather and throwing himself into the path of huge tornadoes, violent electrical storms and coast-battering waves to get the perfect shot

There Is A Qantas Plane On The Moon | Gizmodo Australia

No, this incredible image is not a Photoshop montage, and that’s not Batman’s plane. It’s a Qantas Dash 8 Q 400, a twin-propeller passenger aeroplane passing in front of the Moon in Australia.

First World War officially ends this Sunday

The final payment of £59.5 million, writes off the crippling debt that was the price for one world war and laid the foundations for another.

Germany was forced to pay the reparations at the Treaty of Versailles in 1919 as compensation to the war-ravaged nations of Belgium and France and to pay the Allies some of the costs of waging what was then the bloodiest conflict in history, leaving nearly ten million soldiers dead.

The initial sum agreed upon for war damages in 1919 was 226 billion Reichsmarks, a sum later reduced to 132 billion, £22 billion at the time.

The bill would have been settled much earlier had Adolf Hitler not reneged on reparations during his reign.
