@AdrDwn101 Me too

@Hush_Kit I have forbidden myself to buy any more aviation books 🙄

Must resist temptation.

@RedFiveModels You’re welcome - amazon.co.uk/Mitsubishi-A6M…

@Hush_Kit I need that zero book

Vulcan/Skybolt high speed wind tunnel testing, RAE Farnborough, 1961. This is a cleaned image from TN.2907. The aim was to measure the loads on the missile and pylon, to determine immediate post-launch trajectory and also loads into the wing structure. You may note a B.1 model…

@David_Beck_Atty Completes my set :-)

@Hush_Kit Those were my two favorite books as a kid. You would love them. And I’m not selling my copies.

@rohouk Bristol

@Hush_Kit Where is this ????

@TomcatJunkie Not at all, a genuine point, that’s a fab photo. It’s just a complex shape and easy to appreciate in person but awkward from most angles in photos

«The S-199 project was a poisonous goulash of constraints, urgency, incompetence, and misguided priorities. »

@Adm_Hindsight @c_mperman @joe_wilding Thanks - I remember saying to Aircrew guy a few years ago he should focus more on DACT and he really ran with it :-)

Your least popular aviation opinion?

@Adm_Hindsight @c_mperman @joe_wilding Where did he hear it?

@c_mperman @Hush_Kit @joe_wilding There's a fun anecdote from Helen Seymour of her her doing DACT with F18Es in a Typhoon and the only time the two ended up neutral after a rate fight was because one of the Typhoons engines gave up

@GuyG_Boffin Go on…

@Hush_Kit I believe that the Piper PA28 and Cessna 172 are poor training aeroplanes.

@c_mperman @joe_wilding Again from memory, Hornet advantage at lower altitudes - Typhoon from mid up -

@Hush_Kit @joe_wilding That sounds reasonable, and with a Meteor/ASRAAM loadout, the Typhoon has no reason to give them that chance.
