    BAC Multi-Unit Space Transport and Recovery Device (MUSTARD)

    The British Interplanetary Society's 'Space Chronicle' has a good article on UK Spaceplanes including Mustard. Vol 59, Suppl. 2, 2006 There was also a version that had the three modules arranged in a triangle, god knows how the separation would work for that...

    British Secret Projects 5: Britain's Space Shuttle by Dan Sharp

    ...reading Dan Dare, that British companies had actually gone quite so far down the road of designing manned spacecraft. To look at a picture of Mustard, without any real explanation, it seems like pure fantasy. But when you see how much work was done on it, the bespoke computer systems...

    What does your favourite sandwich look like?

    Warm corned beef variation of a BLT. Corned beef (Warm), lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayonaise, leek and occasionally some crispy bacon. With a side of ready salted crisps or just poossibly cheese and onion. Damn, well at least I know what I am having for supper.........

    Boeing F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD)

    I thought the announcement was pushed back? All the Reuters source has provided is this: View: https://twitter.com/MichaelStone/status/1903104299153952884 Not sure "two sources familiar with the situation said" really cuts the mustard...

    V-2 with Chemical Warheads plans ?

    ...uranium is highly toxic, so there would be a lot of peoples poisoned. And since Allies would immediately recognize that some poisonous material was delivered, they would retaliate in kind, dropping thousands of ton of mustard gas on Germany (USSR alone have about 80.000 tons of mustard gas...

According to Jack Mustard, a planetary geologist at Brown University who was not involved in the new work, the radiolysis explanation has “opened up whole new vistas” into...

    British Secret Projects 5: Britain's Space Shuttle by Dan Sharp

    Dan, Cudos on British Secret Projects #5! I found all the design trades particularly interesting. I recently finished a model of the BAC LSRV (EAG 4455) in the scheme from your book. Down the road is a diorama of the Mustard triplet with the booster units breaking away. Kindest regards, Morgan

    HOTOL: Britain's Spaceplane by Dan Sharp

    I too prize my copy of Dan Sharp's 2016 book British Secret Projects 5: Britain's Space Shuttle, about the fascinating MUSTARD vehicle. But for the final version of MUSTARD (pp228-230,255), the perfected version that all previous iterations had built up to, the version illustrated on the front...

    V-2 with Chemical Warheads plans ?

    ...examined by the British, and a radio was found, they assumed all V-2s carried radios. They did not. A secret shipment of bombs filled with Mustard gas arrived at Bari Harbor in Italy in December 1943. The Germans bombed the harbor, detonating the bombs. A doctor on site noticed that some of...

    What does your favourite sandwich look like?

    Bought, used to be a 'Foot Subway' on seedless, double meats, no gherkins etc or mustard. My beloved wife (RIP) would have a 'chicken wrap' or a 'yours, but six-inch'... Now, bought, 'Chicken Salad Club', so a 'three-decker', plus a generic BLT. Home-made, three split whole-meal rolls, think...

    Douglas DC3 Dakota replacement?

    The 1950s and 1960s produced many attempts in East and West to design an aeroplane to replace the Douglas DC3 and C47 Dakota. None that flew seemed to fill the gap, and many Daks flew on. Or do you think there was a built or unbuilt Dak replacement that cut the mustard?

    HOTOL: Britain's Spaceplane by Dan Sharp

    There aren't quite so many Hotol variants as there were, say, Mustard variants, but I think this might end up being the longest and most detailed book I've ever written.

    HOTOL: Britain's Spaceplane by Dan Sharp

    The guy who did most of the MUSTARD drawings, Gerald David 'Dave' Walley, also worked on potential Hotol alternatives (some actual Hotols but with different propulsion systems, others Hotol-like vehicles and others no longer visually identifiable as Hotol derivatives) - in parallel to the core...

    Hitler orders advanced intercontinental bomber projects into production to carry on his war plan for attacking Manhattan

    Not a practical idea. Releasing mustard gas, or similar, with prevailing winds would have been more practical. https://www.historynet.com/world-war-ii-german-raid-on-bari.htm

    British Secret Projects 5: Britain's Space Shuttle by Dan Sharp

    Did this mean that some MUSTARD material had to be left out of the book or was the book expanded considerably? I ask this not as a criticism but hopefully in case there is an expanded second edition! I am reading and re-reading this book it is all so fresh and fascinating Thanks again Alan
