Two news items - and I bet in both cases the scum suffer no retribution. https://archive.md/VHFOR https://defence-blog.com/nvidia-technology-found-in-russian-military-drones/

Are you sure that is not mother nature correcting the signpost?

Thanks for the offer but it seems that they are still available locally - according to the Officeworks web site they have a wide selection though I will check out the two art supply shops first and take a couple of sample pages so they can make an informed recommendation and probably end up...

Lead pencil I think so I will have to purchase a suitable eraser next week in Bundy - if such things are even made any more.

Just got this one and am not impressed that some mothers little darling "improved" it. I hope I can make the improved" pages readable.

Again post #170 - and you will see that not only did the P-47 have PRESSURISED drop tanks but the manual also covers how to recover from drop tank vapour lock

Go back to post #170. It covers all the options then (suction from an electric pump or pressure from the vacuum pump or both) and the submerged pumps used in modern aircraft starting with the P-47 (unknown sub model) and P-51D or earlier (but not early Allison powered one) and gives diagrams of...

Paint rollers were invented in 1940 in both Canada and the USA. They MAY have been available for under wing use but somehow I doubt it as such new inventions were slow to spread before the internet.

Hawaii is good but PNGs Paradise coffee made in Lae was even better. Unfortunately no longer available but most of the PNG coffee is good or very good.

And after discharge most Russian surviving crims went home and carried on what they had already been jailed for.

Here is one of the RAAF files. Decision to expand RAAF to include 15 fighter squadrons made but no suggestions of aircraft needed. In the pre PH programme the RAAF only needed its existing two squadron of Hawker Demons...

I got my information two sources 1 - from the historical files at https://www.naa.gov.au/, and 2 - from the historical files at https://www.afhra.af.mil/. I got about 20 rolls of microfilm that had been converted to PDF and went through them. I was researching all aircraft and units that...
