For mapj1 #2

Thanks again Mike, got that now, exactly as you said, downloaded pic, wrote up short text, filled the 3 boxes, (I did wonder what they were for!), hit on the box with jagged edges/mountain scene. Hit update. Job done. Thanks again. 

Regards, UKPN?

  • When the shouty folk say 'blue on blue' they usually mean their own folk have taken some action that unexpectedly knobbles their own sides capabities - the extreme being so called  'friendly fire', which is anything but. (or you blow up your own side's vehicle or bomb tne runway other chaps on your side wanted to use) In normal speak you might say 'to shoot oneself in the foot' perhaps. Green on blue is when someone who is not your own folk , but was supposed to be an ally or a neutral party does something that knobbles your capability, may even be a deliberate attack. The colours are probably based on the standardized military NATO symbols to indicate different forces on maps. Blue is used to show your own and friendly forces, red for hostile forces, green for neutral forces, and yellow for any group of unknown allegiance.


    I however was alluding to the near invisible blue buttons we used to have. I think I probably have slightly non standard colour  perception anyway, over and above that bloke thing of not realising two black socks cannot be a pair as they are different colour, as my choices for colour settings for plotting and  CAD software etc often raise comments..
