I learned about these interested drawings from another forum, and there are links to the sources given by other members below. But a companion of mine believes that these are "fake drawings" made using some Australia's cruiser plan drawings and Photoshop. I feel distressed. So are these...

I'm putting together an article on the Wireless Set No. 10, which deserves to be MUCH better known - it was the first TDM and PCM comms system in the world. Sadly there is very little info on it, but I know that "Wireless for the Warrior" had a relatively detailed description including post-war...

G'day folks, consider this. The TSR2 goes into service and later requires a SLEP, what engines are avaulable and could a big wing be fitted/would it be an improvement?

The thread about the V Force has shown how brilliant some of the researchers here are at providing us with material unique to this site. So as we are still a bit limited in where and what we can do this Summer, I am adding the subject which has cropped up in many other threads: RAF Fighter...

So we know some time in the early 80s, France split with the UK, West Germany, Italy and Spain, and developed the ACX into the Rafale, and the others made the Typhoon. the disagreement stemmed from a carrier variant. What if in this scenario, France never left and somehow the five of them...

Found these images buried in my folders along with a screenshot of the (limited) information on these artillery pieces. It took me a while to track down which forum post I got them from (link and just in case, archived). Quoted from the thread in question:

Over many years I have been trying to find images of Bekonscot model village from the 1960s. Unlike today's Bekonscot which is set frozen in the era of Hercule Poirot and offers an escape from the modern world, the 1960s version used to get updated regularly to reflect the exciting world...

You can read about the prototype here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarrant_Tabor It was very interesting to build the model.

Avro Type 732 https://www.key.aero/article/paving-way "There were many proposed developments of the Victor and Vulcan, including two supersonic derivatives, but neither came close to being built. The Avro 732 of 1956 was to have been powered by eight de Havilland Gyron Juniors, four in pairs...

Hi Blackburn B-54 and B-88 shipborne, anti-submarine aircraft, Fairey Gannet competitor. https://www.baesystems.com/en/heritage/blackburn-b-54-and-b-88 "The first design in this series was the Blackburn B54 or YA5. This type was designed around the proposed Napier Double-Naiad turbo-prop...

the Falklands war occurred in 82 Ark Royal (or another ship of the same class?) was decommissioned in 79 What if they had opted to delay the decommissioning by a few years but then the Falkland war occurred anyways Would the Ark Royal have been sent? would it have contributed differently than...

Quick question: Does anyone know the official designation that the British Army and War Office used for the BAOR's Beetle saloons (initially referred to simply as the 'Volkswagen Saloon')? There seems to be some indication that other British Army commands and detachments in Western Europe may...

For these cruisers I got most of my data from Norman Friedman's British Cruisers Two World War and After as well as from the forum member Smurf and parts from his book: A Directory of British Cruiser Designs. In case of Friedman's book it wasn't always clear what data was connected to what...

A while ago I stumbled across a card model design for a Bristol Siddeley BS.1010 mach 7 hypersonic ramjet. http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/665209-post89.html It is an interesting design but I have been stumped trying to find anything about this particular project. The only thing I have...
