dhfan I think you might be right. Every website says exactly the same thing more or less. However the Discovery Channel (thout shall take thy DC with a pinch of salt) did an interview with one of the project team who stated quite catagorrically that they did complete the aircraft, it did fly and it did break the sound barrier. Not that it matters because they were doing it without prmission and it could not be recorded so whatever the truth, what you say is effectively true. Sad but true.:(

Sorry, the Miles M52 was cancelled on the grounds of pilot safety in 1946… Before it could fly!

Flood sorry mate go back and check it again. It got cancelled because they thought straight wings were unsafe. They flew it mate, they flew through the sound barrier but by then it was too late. They finished the prototype and chucked it through the sound barrier. Time for a little digging methinks.

Just wait one cotton picking moment I have it on good authority (Sean Connery no less) that God is a Scotsman.

I don’t know what his name was but didn’t some bloke do it a couple of weeks later in a Miles M53 or something like that? I know it was a jet and not a rocket engine but was similar in apearance to the Bell X1.

Yeah. Sorry Kabir its not that Brits are not spiritual or anything we just like to keep religion private. I got through the first 10 seconds and lost the will to live. I’m making a recovery though.

Philo I am with you on the Laphroig and the Talisker though I prefer the Laphroig. I have a soft spot for Islay Whiskeys and I like Ton Mohr, Ard Beg and Bowmore as well. My youngest brother is a big Talisker fan while my two oldest brothers like Bourbon and Irish. But I am a dyed in the wool Islay drinker.

If it takes a week to walk a fortnight what time is it at midday?
A banana this colour…………………….

There was a young woman called Bright
Who could travel much faster than light
She left home one day, in a relative way
And came home the previous night.

No no. sorry that makes far too much sense. Waiter! Fetch me my pomegranate I’m leaving.

I’d just like to point out that at the tender age of 35 I have two cats. One is a white ginger tom called Eccles and the other is a little black and white female called Min.

I told you I was ill!
