Were you looking for a model of it then ? Anigrand and AModel also do one in 1/72 scale and there's a few in 1/144, CMR for one. I've been to the museum in McMinnville to see the Hughes Hercules, it's nearly twice the size of a Mars so I don't think you need too big of a museum for a Mars :D

What's a 'sub-scale' ? I've got a 1/72 Combat Models vacuform ---

It has all the marks of Tophe's work ---

It looks just what I'm after Alistair, nicely done.

Interesting news snippet for the modelers, Fantastic Plastic has the spacecraft on sale at the moment, it's in 1/144 scale. https://fantastic-plastic.com/lockheed_mars_lander.html

A friend was clearing out his study (downsizing) and asked me if I could find a home for this set of pamphlets. Does this fall in the context of this thread?

I've always wonder why in all the moon base/mars base concepts I've seen, they have the rocket landing/takeoff area right in or directly next to the base itself. Not the best idea I'd think --- not done down here on earth is it --

Sounds more like the Australians were covering their ass's -- if the US didn't agree to the deal of technology transfer, they still had the French deal to fall back on. Then AUKUS wouldn't have seen the light of day -- would it --- It seems to me the Australians were at a point in the contract...

Well, I don't think any decision on a Canadian F-35 will be made in the near future --- (another Liberal minority government was elected yesterday)

Thanks Allyson, my models hung from the ceiling, I had to take them all down periodically to dust them on the insistence of mrs kitnut -- otherwise she would threaten to do it herself ------- :oops:

But Isaacman put up $100 million before it even started, now Musk with $50 Million, how much more was donated by others ?

Thanks for your replies Hood, Zen -- I can see that 'leasing' a couple of boats would be the right way to go so home crews can get some experience operating them, but I hadn't realized that Britain had so few of them themselves. But why would you need one down around the Falklands, are there no...

A question to Hood: If an Australian order for an Astute jumped ahead of the Brit order, it wouldn't change how many in-service boats would be in the theatre -- right ? I mean, the boats that Britain is building now are destined for the Pacific -- right?

I agree, I was going to say that a spar would have incorporated the large bolt ring on the rear end of the casting

I wrote to the RAF Museum one time to see if I could get some drawings of Spitfires and Spitefuls, they sent me a list for each type. The Spitfire list had over 6000 drawings ----- That did cover a number of different variants though ---

Marvelous and really fascinating -- how did you manage to keep the dust off them all ?

Canada is already producing parts for the program, only a couple of months ago it was reported that the government handed over more millions to the development costs even though the government is sitting on the fence about buying them. The present government seems to think that because the...

About half of what the UK wants

The MR.1 and MR.2 also had a dorsal turret located just before the trailing edge of the wing, which was later removed.

In the 1984 RAF Year Book, there's a fairly comprehensive article on the Nimrod AEW. There's a cutaway drawing which must be a Flight one and is drawn from the quarter front view and very similar to the quarter rear view in the article Paul posted. There is also a Marconi advert included which...
