A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

- how the government tried – and failed – to regulate the aviation industry
- how all the key moments in the air in the Second World War followed from lessons learned during WW1.
