I would just like to signpost you to a great article by Rob Ridley on defence connect comparing of British and other national approaches to infra. Some very valuable observations are made, and no doubt all of you are vectors to influence future change beyond PEW.

Many thanks to those I have ‘visited’ so far both for your patience and professionalism.  I am looking forward to hearing from the rest of you over the coming days.  From observation, MS Teams seems to be the optimum but I am waiting on WebEx for a true comparison.

A sketch or photo with a paragraph or two to generate discussion is a good starting point.

On that note we can all look forward to some posts on flooding excavations, permit to dig behaviours and others.  You know who you are….
