The "Thingy", a flying sub-tank from "The Three Stooges in Orbit (1962)". Just funny.- (https://clip.cafe/the-three-stooges-in-orbit-1962/oh-no-not-disneyland/)

Trying to figure out which countries could actually handle the cost of light fleet carriers in 1946-60, so do we have any actual data at what prices the Colossus and Majestic class ships were sold by Britain in 1946-60? And for that matter how much their modernization with angled fight decks and...

The fledgling Lufftwaffe and Marineflieger appeared to be interesting in buying British in their earliest days. Of course this was the worst possible time to deal with the British, so every effort fell over. Wiki referencing Wood. The German Defence Ministry first expressed interest in the...

I'd like to ask for help in identification of the High Frequency (HF) radio set from ca. 1963 used on the Canadian CH-113 Labrador helicopter (a version of the CH-46 Sea Knight). The control unit of the HF set is visible on the image below under #8. Notably it has separate controls for the...

Not something I think fits in the alt-F11 thread but related to it, kind of. The RN is going to spend 16 million rebuilding Eagle, picking Tiger saves about 20-25 million over F-4 combine those two figures as your budget to build a new carrier with a 30 year hull life rather than spending 16 of...

I haven't made a post on here in ages but today I stumbled upon something very strange and interesting only the people here might know of to find. I was going on a romp around Japan in Google Maps looking at aviation museums and such and I came across a museum near Nagoya Airport owned by...

OTL in 1963, the Royal Canadian Navy received their first Sikorsky CH-124 Sea King Helicopters. They flew from Canadian ships for more than 50 years. I greased and refuelled Sea Kings on the flight decks of HMCS Athabaskan and HMCS Iroquois. I also washed innumerable GE-T58-8F engines...
