As is well known the Royal Navy built up a decent force of
new and converted amphibious ships in the 1960s based on the
converted carriers Bulwark and Albion, the two Fearless class LPDs
and the Sir Lancelot class LSTs.
Mention, however, is made in some sources of proposals to build
additional...

"The Plane Makers" is a British television series between 1963 and 1965.
More info about the series at Wikipedia.
The "Scott Furlong Predator" is a fictional prototype of a VTOL fighter, built for that TV series. It looks very like the real French VTOL fighters e.g Dassault Balzac V or Mirage...

The Russians introduced their BMP family of MICVs in the 1960s.
In NATO the only country to do likewise was Germany which replaced
its basic HS 30 vehicle (an early MICV of a sort) from the 70s with the
Marder. Modified Marders are still in service with the German forces.
In contrast Britain...
In the mid-1950s it was decided to increase the Royal Navy presence in the Falkland Islands dependencies. It was hoped to build a new icebreaker and the United States Navy made the plans of the Wind-class icebreaker available. British engines were selected that made the ship much longer. The...
Well,i know that this is not an forum of alternate history,but the my question is:
premise the political will, an UK-Canada-Australia (not Commonwealth) manned program in 60s,with first suborbital flight in 1961 and successive goals like orbital flights in early 60s and a two men capsule and...

The sum total of my knowledge on this craft comes from this single illustration, found in the Boeing Historical Archives. It’s a 1965 drawing of a rocket/scramjet vehicle that made use of a few X-15 bits and pieces. Clearly it was designed to test high-speed airbreathign systems ina stepwise...

all i know is from 1960's

I was given the following years ago by Joe Jones.
Since this forum appreciates older design concepts, I thought I would post it.

Britain's Avro 730 supersonic bomber concept was the first kit produced by Fantastic Plastic. (It was released in October 2005). After being out of production for almost two years, I've brought it back as a new, improved model.
Whereas the first kit was a simple "tabletop" model, Version 2.0...

The first model I did for Fantastic Plastic back in 2004 was the British Avro 730 bomber in 1/144 scale. Last year I was asked to re-visit the model. I completely rescribed it, added cockpit, landing gear and bomb bay details, and just generally improved the hell out of it. The first time...

A recent book releasing British nuclear discussions by Peter Hennessy throws
some clear answers to often asked questions:
Why did the RN not get the fifth Polaris boat?
After much discussion the new Labour Government in 1964 decided
that the Polaris fleet was too worthwhile to cancel. Two...
In Friedman's book on British Destroyers and Frigates there is an interesting account of how the Royal Navy looked at the competing virtues of two ships which are described but never illustrated.
The first is a 10,000 ton escort cruiser armed with Seadart launchers front and aft and with a...

According to Paul Czysz, he claimed that McDonnell Aerospace had an aerospace plane that probably first flew in 1963 and entered service in 1964 flying until at least 1979. I was told the plane had a smaller payload than the Space-Shuttle. It to the best of my knowledge was a single-stage to...

I know this one has a lot of questions. If anybody has a good answer, I'd like to hear it.
Would the F-12B interceptor have resulted in a significantly different development of Russian/Soviet aircraft? Would it have played a role in the development of our fighter designs? Would it have...
From Journal Of The Royal Aeornautical Society August 1965.
Not sure if this is a proper project or not as it says no more than the title in an article about VTOL.

has this been discussed before?
