This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

If you’re curious, it was originally taken over by the Ministry of Defense during WW2 to train for the invasion of Europe.

Also this isn’t the first time it’s been reopened.
