    ID of German unguided rocket needed

    The three per rack was also used by the Hunter. The old Airfix kit of the Hunter Mk.6 had them included, as did the early packaging of the Folland Gnat. Which looked like these from the Airfix kit where the history section in the instruction sheet says they're RP-3's

    Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik UAV revealed

    I've been liking this thread, along with all the analysis. But a question keeps coming to mind for me. Why has it suddenly been revealed ? ??? I would have thought the Russians would have it wrapped pretty good

    Lockheed Martin F-21 for India

    Pic found on the internet. I thought I had read the Israeli's had originally come up with it, but it might be a combined LM/Israeli project. https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/95349717089723444/

    Royal Navy Type 26 Frigate

    Rolls-Royce Crecy engine which was to be installed in Spitfire

    Using the RRHT books on the Crecy and the RR Mustang, plus lots of back & forth consultation with David Birch the official RR historian who wrote the books (sadly deceased now), I built this RR FTB which I have as Crecy powered.

    Stratolaunch

    Apparently so, yesterday I had to go into Calgary and decided to stop by the airport (YYV) on my way home. There parked at the west end of Apron 9 at about 2pm, was a Volga-Dnepr An 124, Apron 9 is on the north-west end of runway 11.. One that had a 25th something logo on it. Stopping by...

    XP-86 Early Straight-wing design

    The model I built of it last year. The third pic is supposedly the only known photo of the straight wing XP-86, but I've seen another although it's not the primary aircraft which was having it's photo taken. The caption said 'notice the XP-86 in the background', I pretty sure it's in one of my...

    Avro Super Heavy Bomber

    Typhoon II was a Typhoon converted with the new wing that led to Tempest, according to Chris Thomas who was the Typhoon Tempest expert specialist at Air-Britain. I've got a note/drawing about it from him after I had asked him a number of questions some years ago.

    Stratolaunch

    In the four years I worked at the airport, it came three times and I saw it one of those times. Usually it was for a pre-fab skid/module in the petro industry. The An-124 on the other hand was much more frequent, not like every month but I saw it six times although it came more than that...

    Stratolaunch

    When I was referring to 'Antonovs', it's because both the An-124 and the An-225 come fairly regularly to Calgary, the An-124s more so.

    Stratolaunch

    The Antonov's were mostly used moving equipment in the petroleum industry, skid or modules which were heading to eastern Europe and such. They usually couldn't do it direct because they had to run on low fuel and then make a number of stops along the way. If this Roc can lift a decent weight and...

    Bell V-280 Valor

    Thanks, but it seems to beat the object of having a tilt-rotor don't you think ??? I can't help but think that the V-280 is nothing more than a technology demonstrator, looking at the profile of the fuselage top before, over and behind the wing, it looks very similar to the V-22. The wing...

    Stratolaunch

    The new runway (17L/35R) at YYC could, I'm referring to the wheel track width though --- The whole runway is more geared to the future cargo aprons which will be accessed directly to the east of the runway, and cargo aircraft wouldn't go anywhere near the terminal. This photo shows there...

    Stratolaunch

    Exactly sferrin, exactly what I mean. B-52's used to land at YYC almost every year during the airshow season. I watched them more than a few times landing and taking off and now that YYC has a much bigger second main runway (longest in Canada too) it would be all the more easier. YYC is also...

    Stratolaunch

    What I meant was if the a B-52 can land with all it's wheels on a runway, then the Stratolaunch can land there. But at YYC (Calgary International) where I worked for a few years just recently, it's designed to operate the biggest aircraft, the An-225 comes in quite ofte

    I would have thought anywhere a B-52 can land so could this.

    Bell V-280 Valor

    Am I missing something --- the Bell V-22's advertised speed is 275 kts, what is all the fuss and all this effort for another 5 kts ----
