We contrast creativity with bureaucracy through the lives of Sir Frank Whittle, Sir Stanley Hooker, and the Harrier jump jet, before leaping to Marlborough’s logistics at Blenheim and today’s need for practical community resilience. I also recount an hour-long seaside conversation with two Jehovah’s Witnesses that sparks a bigger discussion about covenants, translation, and why “testament” frames Scripture as a contract. In hours two and three, guest Eli James joins to examine faith, law, and language: the difference between being “born again” and “born from above,” the role of concordances, and the comfort and power of Psalm 27. We explore discernment, demoralisation by modern institutions, the nature of psychopathy, and why cultivating chivalry, craftsmanship, and clear speech matters. Along the way we touch on Patrick Moore, Joerg Sprave’s Slingshot Channel, Shroud of Turin research, and a couple of boogie‑woogie cuts—before closing with a call to think and live like practical engineers of the good in our own communities.<ul><li>'Keir Starmer — UK Parliament profile': <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/biographies/commons/keir-starmer/4521" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.uk/biographies/commons/keir-starmer/4521</a></li><li>'Stanley Unwin (comedian)': <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Unwin_(comedian)" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Unwin_(comedian)</a></li><li>'Ronnie Barker': <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Barker" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Barker</a></li><li>'Sir Patrick Moore — BBC The Sky at Night': <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/28TqD0c7n8G7lSss8R6k3f6/sir-patrick-moore" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/28TqD0c7n8G7lSss8R6k3f6/sir-patrick-moore</a></li><li>'The Sky at Night (BBC programme)': <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mk7h" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mk7h</a></li><li>'The Slingshot Channel (Joerg Sprave) — YouTube': <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@JoergSprave" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@JoergSprave</a></li><li>'Jehovah’s Witnesses — Official site': <a href="https://www.jw.org/" target="_blank">https://www.jw.org/</a></li><li>'Harrier jump jet': <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrier_jump_jet" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrier_jump_jet</a></li><li>'Rolls‑Royce (aerospace and engineering)': <a href="https://www.rolls-royce.com/" target="_blank">https://www.rolls-royce.com/</a></li><li>'Sir Stanley Hooker': <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Hooker" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Hooker</a></li><li>'Sir Frank Whittle — RAF Museum overview': <a href="https://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/research/online-exhibitions/jet-age/frank-whittle.aspx" target="_blank">https://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/research/online-exhibitions/jet-age/frank-whittle.aspx</a></li><li>'Messerschmitt Me 262 — Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum': <a href="https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/messerschmitt-me-262a-1a-schwalbe/nasm_A19600312000" target="_blank">https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/messerschmitt-me-262a-1a-schwalbe/nasm_A19600312000</a></li><li>'Jaguar E‑type — Jaguar Classic': <a href="https://www.jaguar.com/jaguar-classic/e-type.html" target="_blank">https://www.jaguar.com/jaguar-classic/e-type.html</a></li><li>'Porsche — Official site': <a href="https://www.porsche.com/" target="_blank">https://www.porsche.com/</a></li><li>'Battle of Blenheim — Britannica overview': <a href="https://www.britannica.com/event/Battle-of-Blenheim" target="_blank">https://www.britannica.com/event/Battle-of-Blenheim</a></li><li>'Westminster Confession of Faith — Text': <a href="https://opc.org/wcf.html" target="_blank">https://opc.org/wcf.html</a></li><li>'Strong’s Concordance (reference hub)': <a href="https://biblehub.com/str/" target="_blank">https://biblehub.com/str/</a></li><li>'Psalm 27 (KJV) — Bible Gateway': <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2027&version=KJV" target="_blank">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2027&version=KJV</a></li><li>'Shroud of Turin — Shroud.com research archive': <a href="https://www.shroud.com/" target="_blank">https://www.shroud.com/</a></li><li>'Ladyva — Official site (boogie‑woogie pianist)': <a href="https://www.ladyva.com/" target="_blank">https://www.ladyva.com/</a></li><li>'The Fabulous Thunderbirds — Official site': <a href="https://www.fabulousthunderbirds.com/" target="_blank">https://www.fabulousthunderbirds.com/</a></li><li>'Ronnie Earl — Official site': <a href="https://www.ronnieearl.com/" target="_blank">https://www.ronnieearl.com/</a></li><li>'Kim Wilson — Official site': <a href="https://www.kimwilsonblues.com/" target="_blank">https://www.kimwilsonblues.com/</a></li><li>'Arsenic and Old Lace (1944 film)': <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenic_and_Old_Lace_(film)" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenic_and_Old_Lace_(film)</a></li><li>'G.
