Haven’t a clue what it’s about, but I love this-

Saw that on telly this morning. Not going to change the world, but what a feat of concentration and endurance. Not sure I could even stand for 24 hours. 😀

One thing that has always struck me as rather odd about the B737 is the way the main wheels still remain exposed even after retraction. Presumably there must be at least some aerodynamic penalty for that, so does anyone know if Boeing ever considered “fixing” it?

My wallet. It’s a lot lighter since getting married and having a child, but it still has a certain nostalgic value.

Its a good book but one thing is a major dissapointment and thats the main pictures of the box art seem to be taken from recent transparencies produced for re-releases of the kits and not the original artwork as every German aircraft / ship is Swastika-less.
I assume its because the original art wasnt available to photograph rather than a concious decision on the publishers part as some of the smaller non published works & preliminary sketches sport them.
To me It makes the book come across as a bit “incomplete”, or am I being too harsh ?

Seems a lot of the original paintings were more or less just thrown away. Crying shame.
