In 1935, RAF Air Marshall Robert Goddard was sent to examine an abandoned Scottish airbase called Drem. When he reached the base, it was in bad shape. Cows were grazing on grass growing through cracks in the tarmac.
Later that day, he flew into a heavy storm and decided to head back to Drem to get his bearings. When he got close to the airfield, the rain stopped and the sun came out. When he looked down; the tarmac was brand new. Mechanics in blue uniforms were working on bright yellow planes. But RAF planes were silver, and their mechanics wore tan.
Later that year, the RAF changed the color ofn their planes from silver to bright yellow -- and mechanics overalls were changed from tan to blue.
Oh, and in 1939, Drem was rebuilt.
Goddard wasn’t a kook. He was a decorated Commander with military honors.
Did he fly through a time slip? He thinks he did.
