“DOMINION'S AIR CREWS HELPED TO DEAL BLOW ON JAPS AT COLOMBO,” Toronto Star. April 10, 1942. Page 38. ---- Nipponese Planes Sink 22-Year-Old Aircraft Carrier Hermes Off Ceylon, But Most of Crew Believed in London to Have Been Saved ---- BRITISH FLIERS DAMAGE JAP CARRIER AND COUNT 18 FOE PLANES SHOT DOWN ---- H.M. AIRCRAFT CARRIER HERMES ---- London, April 10 - Canadian air crews are manning huge flying boats over the Bay of Bengal and already have performed heroic service against the Japanese, it was learned today. 

"They have played an exceptionally important and heroic part in recent air operations against the enemy," the air minister said. 

It was a Canadian air crew that played a primary role in the disastrous defeat dealt Japanese bombing squadrons in the enemy attack on Colombo, Ceylon, last Sunday, the air ministry revealed. 

At the same time the admiralty announced that Japanese planes have sunk the 22-year-old, 10,850-ton aircraft carrier Hermes off the coast of Ceylon, and that British fliers materially damaged a Japanese aircraft carrier and knocked down 18 planes in the same waters.

One informed source said the attacks in which the Hermes, Dorsetshire and Cornwall were sent to the bottom cost the Japanese fully 75 planes. He said the Hermes was sunk by bombs, not plane-launched torpedoes.

A Canadian-manned aircraft first spotted the Japanese bomber fleet headed for Colombo and "hence was instrumental in thwarting the attack," said an air ministry spokesman.

The reconnaissance crew flashed word enabling the city to prepare for the raid, with the result that a large portion of the 75 enemy aircraft were destroyed for certain. The admiralty said that Japanese claims of cruisers in addition to the Cornwall and Dorsetshire sunk off Trincomalee were known to be "quite untrue."

[AL: This is very slanted reporting, as we should expect war reporting. Colombo was not a disastrous defeat and the Japanese airplane losses were very low - Hermes was caught with its planes on deck, for one. A disastrous loss for sure.]

Reasons I became an engineer: #1

This is the first in a series of posts in which I am going to reflect on my route to becoming an engineer.  These events happened around forty years ago so inevitably my recollections probably have more in common with folklore than reliable history.  Nevertheless, I hope they might be of interest. I was good at mathematics at school but also geography and when required to specialise at the age of…

[potatoesandsunshine]

the thing with the percy jackson show for me is like... it's an adaptation so i'm already pretty open to there being changes. i like seeing the story in a bit of a new way and i'm having a good time with it. the "the solstice has passed" reveal made me insane but in the fun way

#pjotv #I didn't even mind lmm i thought he was pretty good. he CAN act. #pjo #annabeth's initial plan to just emotionally manipulate hermes into helping them was really interesting! i also like that it didn't work #or did it? hm???

#yea after seeing ep 6 my feelings on the pjo show are pretty solidified #i like it but i also am unfortunately bored by it ! sorry rick 🤚 i can only take so many minutes #of having the plot be explained to me thru dialogue 🧍‍♂️ #the chemistry btw the trio is my favorite part of the writing so far #well that plus the way they explore the gods characterization and the relationship btw the gods and their kids #thats pretty interesting to watch #esp the way they showed hermes' abilities that was v cool #uhm i still live laugh love grover #my boy!!! #i wish the lotus casino would have seemed more fun and creepy #hm maybe i need to watch it again but seeing people dressed like completely #asynchronously #would have been awesome #like ig the budget maybe wasnt that big but.... cmon #where is the magic lol #the tension and the suspension #there arent enough vibes imo #for the whole show not just that scene #like idk i want more vibrancy but i always want that w modern tv shows so maybe thats just me #yeah it just feels sooooo chibnall writing doctor who LOL like im sorry #i think also its cause 8 episode that are under 45 min each ( im pretty sure ) is not enough time lol #theres like 17 things that need to happen in the next 2 episodes like oh no #they keep cutting away from the most action filled stuff too :/ except for when percy tackled augustus and the taxi scene LMAO i did love #the taxi scene #that shit was perfect no notes

[made-nondescript]

my natural interpretation of hermes and the signs sausage and joel leave for eachother when they drop them off is that hermes is mute and the signs are just notes they use hermes to pass. because i simply outright refuse to believe little hermes is dropping that much innuendo themself ok.

#why is hermes mute to me? i dont know. sorry. #brain goes hm this is how it is! and doesnt let me in on the re asoning sometimes #esmp #nondescript post
