Nuclear Tests - Nuclear Weapons

[John_Allgood]

After some tinkering, we have figured out the problem. The images in question were on the old website and the images here were established with a link and not physically put on the new website. Periodically the old archived site moves to a different location and, thus, the link was broken. The images will be restored. It won't be quick but it will happen. My apologies to all of you for this glitch. A different person will be responsible for setting this up properly

Well, almost all fixed, except for the two pictures on pages 18 and 31. Let's hope that will fix them as well. Now I can show you a medal, devoted to the 50th anniversary of the Novaya Zemlya test site (see page 6)...

Yuri, here's one you probably do not have in your collection.

It is a public medal from the Australian and British Nuclear Veterans Associations. This is the link with the information on the medal: http://www.awardmedals.com/medal-tie-p-12133.html

Private-purchase commemorative, yes?

Nice design, though.

Well I'll be darned! You already had it...

And I was so proud at the thought of finding you a new one...
