One should remember that the H-4 was supposed to be a partial alternate to the use of conventional ships since Allied shipping in the Atlantic Ocean was suffering heavy losses to German U-boats at the time. Therefore a comparison to other aircraft might be misplaced. Perhaps a comparison to...

...in to the idea of the U.K sticking with the GA product line. That said, is the Predator/Reaper/Guardian line future proofed enough for a 2018 timeframe? If the system is going to replace faster platforms like Sentinal and Tornado in the counter terrorism mission, does the Reaper cut the mustard?

Sounds fantastic - I'd love to see it - hope you find it!

The British Interplanetary Society's November issue of Spaceflight (Vol 58 No 11) has an article on MUSTARD by Daniel Sharp that can be read as a preview. Six pages crammed with detail, some old and new illustrations promising a fascinating book. Among the reasons for the cancellation were the...

Hi, In the Flightglobal I found that project for BAC. http://www.flightglobal.com/FlightPDFArchive/1966/1966%20-%200663.pdf

...by 1943, it would be very hard for U-boats to close enough with US coastline. Secondly, after such attack, USAAF and RAF would start to use mustard gas indiscriminately over Germany. They may not have such chemical sophisication, but they have supplies and means to deliver. And USSR have...

Amid SSTOs and RLVs and TSTO that concept closely relates to bimese / trimese on one side (Mustard, Triamese, Delta IV Heavy, Falcon Heavy), and OTRAG / Microcosm - asparagus staging, on the other. Incidentally, I never claimed this system would throw 60 years of rocketry under a bus. It is...

Thanks - I hope I've done the subject matter justice.

Hi Bill. Yes I don't mind sharing photos of what I did here. I did actually create a Facebook group with just this in mind. Give me a couple of days and I can get this sorted for you. BTW, did a Mustard too.

That's the part to remember. A test flight with ballast or a flight with a commercial payload doesn't cut it. (Though we all know 99% of those who even remember the claim will forget that part.)

...us, the engines need to be well aft and well inboard. The main question would then have been - vertical or horizontal launch? BAe had MUSTARD in their back pocket, so the politicians would have fought out a MUSTARD-cluster vs. Hermes-stack battle for the sake of the bragging rights, with...

Yep, thats the one......

I remember this too; a Horizon programme? The bomb dutifully hurtled around the test range before getting stuck in a ditch, which appeared to be a significant drawback. SRJ.

It struck me a while ago that the obvious British Dakota replacement may be a pre-war design - the De Havilland Flamingo. It's about 75% of a Dakota in size and capability, but re-engining it with the Twin Wasp and giving it a fuselage stretch might have been interesting. It's a pity the order...

...items covered to some level: UK: AEB bomb thrower, Arbalest, The Bombard Experimental Gun, Bombard, Hedgehog, Hedgerow, Water Hammer, Mustard Plaster, Baby Bombard, Jefferis Gun, Stewblack Projector, PIAT, Petard, Denny Gun. CLarke Family (Tree, Ground, and Gun). US: US Tree Spigot, Bigot...

...tanks or issue Orbiter Frame has with internal Hydrogen tanks during launch and reentry (the booster had lesser problems on that) ( early MUSTARD design had dangerous errors in internal integral Hydrogen-Oxygen Tank concept ) So transform the internal Hydrogen tanks to drop tanks reduce...

I have got the said issue of Spaceflight, it is highly interesting read and make's me want to get the book even more. B)

...the testing schedule. And want to be able to shown the monster at the 1972 Paris air show. Here are photo shots from that very first flight, taken from the chase plane. testing various configurations above clouds layers. next will have to paint it in that mustard/white prototype scheme.

Returning to this thread, I like to add that A32 Lansen and perhaps A37 Viggen would have gotten tactical nukes and mustard gas bombs if such weapons had been put to service here. The light strike version of Sk 60 would have been armed with tanks and sprays for the nerve gas sarin; kinda like...
