    I'm going to...

    Well, I got a few shots of engines, will post sometime but unfortunately they don't have a big engine collection, Cosford's the place to go for that. Following hot on Duxford's heels is the RAF museum at Hendon tomorrow, just bare in mind the lighting there's not great! Historic Aircraft...

    I'm going to...

    Ok so I mentioned in another thread that often some of us will go somewhere with cool stuff and tell us about it afterwards, normally with pictures. Some people might want specific pictures of something there so the idea of this thread is to tell us where you're going, tell/link us to what...

    Airliners...

    Don't get carried away guys, the Connie's not bad but compare her to a Concorde and she looks like something our dog would throw up ... As an aside, BA have recently launched a new advertising campaign which I think is rather good, lots of historical aircraft to have a look at View...

    Airliners...

    This thread may only be 1 post old but I'm already a little disgusted that Concorde hasn't been mentioned yet! Especially in her post-re-launch livery, without a doubt the second greatest airliner ever, after the Lancastrian, of course ;) Good call on the Comet though, the Constellation is...

    Quotes and Jokes

    A boy was curious about war so asked his granddad what he did in WWII, he said 'I did illustrations for the press, I caught the doodle-bug' He then asked his dad what he did in Vietnam, he replied 'I would predict if a soldier would die a horrible, fiery death- I was a na-palm reader'

    Good display from England today, nice to see the discipline's better. I also rather liked the blue/yellow/red kit!

    Help identifying bomber panel

    Well, he didn't really make clear if he thinks all these items are from the same aircraft

    Update from an old boy

    What are the 'groups' about in the members bit? Is it exactly what it looks like? If I like multi-engined prop aircraft I join the group and we all hang out together like cool kids?

    The Best Bomber of WWII: #4

    I fail to see how that follows on from what I said as I said that combat record is part of it. I believe combat record should matter to an extent, if nothing else it protects against the extreme cases. For example there was a B-29 flown around Britain in 1944. So there was a B-29 in Europe...

    The Best Bomber of WWII: #4

    Well the RAF's largest mine was 2,000lb so yes, she could carry two of them that far (at a push without auxiliary tanks), indeed standard loading pattern 6 consisted of 6 such mines, but you could carry just 2. But that's rather besides the point though because if you think that's the argument I...
