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.

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

My grandfather was an aircraft inspector for De Havilland in WWII. This is one of the notebooks he used to study for the job. He drew all the pictures. (ibb.co)
