A warm welcome to all recent arrivals.
Welcome, I hope you have some good stories to share with us !I am an old RAF service pilot from the 'last days of empire' who also spent a lot of time in the Far and Middle East, later civil aviation regulation, accident investigation and finally Boeing Flight Training.
My prime interset will be in the helicopter types I flew from 1964 to the turn of the century. They are now all in museums - and some of them should have been in museums when I was flying them!
Cheers!
I see the passage about the museum air force as a good story already.Welcome, I hope you have some good stories to share with us !![]()
Hi Chris - do you know David Muir? In my correspondence regarding North American NA-110 Mustang sale I never quite understood details regarding the isssues encountered with tooling and processes before Mustang production could begin - both with kits and presumably production of GA 17 & 18s.Hey hey,
I'm Chris, based in QLD, Australia. I've been obsessed with aviation for almost 30 years now and I have amassed personal collection of books, manuals, drawings etc (and about 50 models that are yet to be built...). During the COVID lockdowns I got made redundant and spent a lot of my time on a youtube channel that focuses on interwar and early cold war aviation (my favourite periods) which somehow turned into a semi-fulltime job.
Currently, I'm working on two books (slowly), one that focuses on some of the strangest designs of the interwar period, and another which covers aircraft designed and built in Australia - a relatively uknown but highly diverse list.
I'm also a very passionate wildlife/aviation photographer in my spare time.
Very happy to be here![]()

Welcome Adarsh, glad to see future engineers here.Hello, my name is Adarsh Senthil, and I am currently pursuing an undergraduate in Aerospace Engineering (about to complete it in the next semester). I discovered this site while looking for a research paper to use as a reference to select, and now I want to know more about the projects that never took to the skies, especially those that might have changed the course of history if they had come into production.
I hope to receive your guidance in the future.
Adarsh

Good of you to notice Rex's Channel; I love his work & have been a longtime fan of his. I've learned a considerable amount from him. You mentioned that you had interest in interwar period aircraft? I find that I'm rather fond of them too; Especially when you find bizarre circumstances where they're forced up on a wing & a prayer to face wartime long after they've been declared obsolete!
Nice channel - a bit outside my preferred area of interest, but good work.
Hello everyone !
I thought I already posted messages in this forum many years ago, but it appears that I am wrong
My name is Yannick, I'm French. I'm the chief editor of a French defense magazine (DefTech) and deputy chief editor of a space magazine (Space International, also in French).
For my personal interest, I'm exploring more and more alternate history subjects, especially concerning French navy (but not only).
Some of you (maybe @Archibald ?) may remember me from other what-if forums, many (maaaaany) moons ago![]()
