Here are some interesting projects I wanted to post. Some are actually light mortars. I don't care.
From Britain:
A late WW1 prototype, a humble beginning

From the USSR:

What if the northern, industrialized part of Italy remained under communist control after World War 2?
What if Italian trade unionists developed a unique, ITALIAN form of communism?
... more like Yugoslavia?
... with few Moscow trained communists?
The Triang company produced a range of waterline model ships in 1/200 scale in the early 1960s and briefly again in the 1970s.
Star of the Royal Navy models in the range was HMS Vanguard. Rather like Vanguard there were also models of the other recently scrapped big ships, the cruisers HMS...
Not sure where to ask but here it is:
Is there a comprehensive list of French Radars (Both land and naval based) which was developed?
Did France able to start developing radar technology before the capitulation or it was kick-started by British and American equipment after the war?

At the end of World War 2, the U-boat U-530 surrendered at Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the time, it was commanded by a very young lieutenant in the Kreigsmarine. The problem was this U-boat took far longer to reach Argentina than it should have, and when it finally arrived in July 1945, the...
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?
A bit more conventional was the system of engines in tandem designed during the German occupation by the engineer Michel Vernisse. It was to power the Arsenal VB.10 fighter by using two Hispano-Suiza H.S. 12Z engines. One of them was installed in the nose of the airplane and the other in the...

This what the poster wrote . . .

I have come across several mentions of a "Microcell rocket", for instance:

Googling around a bit it seems "Microcell" refers to the launcher, or more specifically, the company that produced them...

From British Civil Aircraft since 1919,
Mr. F. W. Broughton built a single seat parasol wing light monoplane,powered by one 30 hp Carden,developed from Perman Parasol,called Broughton-Blayney Brawney.
As a kid I spent a lot of time browsing through Janes Fighting Ships in our local library.
One of my favourite group of ships were the big cruisers which were the hallmark of major European navies.
The most modern of these were the helicopter carrying Terrier armed ships of the Italian navy plus...
