Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, commonly known as Dr. Strangelove, is a 1964 black comedy film which satirizes the nuclear scare. It was directed, produced, and co-written by Stanley Kubrick, starring Peter Sellers and George C. Scott, and featuring Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, and Slim Pickens. The film is loosely based on Peter George's Cold War thriller novel Red Alert, also known as Two Hours to Doom. The story concerns an unhinged United States Air Force general who orders a first strike nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. It follows the President of the United States, his advisors, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer as they try to recall the bombers to prevent a nuclear apocalypse. It separately follows the crew of one B-52 as they try to deliver their payload. In 1989, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.

COLD WAR ERA BOMB BUNKERS, RAMEY, PUERTO RICO Video Clips. Duration : 1.92 Mins.
Ramey AFB was a Strategic Air Command B-52 bomber base throughout the cold war. Today, it is a relatively quiet commercial airfield on the Northwest corner of Puerto Rico (with an enormous 12000 foot runway). If you poke around the southern edges of what was once part of the base, you can find old bomb bunkers among old service roads now overgrown with vegetation. Today, this land is part of the University of Puerto Rico's agriculture studies campus...and you are trespassing if you go back there..but I've rarely seen people back there, and was only chased out once.
Very nice wreck of well known bomber B-17 lying near harbour Calvi on Corse in depth of 24 meters. There is also very nice surroundings, big stones, rocks, holes and small caves. Its one of the best diving locations on Corse ... of course after Merrouville with always hungry groupers :-). You can see my wife cathrin with our friends Veronika and Martin. You can join the crew of Valhalla and enjoy the best of the mediterranean diving spots.
Documentary about the Avro Vulcan. Some old footage and a recent interview with the crew of the XH558. Special part talking about the Falkland war (Malvinas).
