Hundredth anniversary since they made a doomed aircraft in that hangar - apparently.

Well I must admit, neither did I
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

If you are seeing an apparent paradox, that means you are missing something.

It can stay up for five days, so if you need something to stay onstation for a while for surveillance or communications it fits the bill. I had the same thought about mass -v- volume.
Get it up ye.

I hope they thought of putting a decent loo in.

"Massive" isn't quite the word I'd have thought of either had they tasked me with writing the article. Seems like the kind of mistake a junior or careless (or both) journalist would make.
