Hi All,
QldSpitty,
The thing I don’t understand is surely there are plenty intact actual WWII pulse jet engines aren’t there ? with so many being in museums and if I am not mistaken I seem to remember a chap actually rebuilding these in Germany somewhere ? So why not try and have one of them running unless there are none in good enough condition what would be the problem ? That’s not to take anything away from all the team and their amazing achievement :applause::eagerness: Maybe a restored WWII pulse engine is on the cards now they have figured out the working of the replica who knows what will be their next project great news for all concerned. 🙂

Hi All,
Sukhoi SU-17 http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/russian-fighter-jet-art-6-pics
UK-based cartoonist, illustrator, and street artist Phlegm recently tagged up an old, rusty Russian military jet fighter in Wales. The Sukhoi Su-17 jet fighter proves to be a stunning canvas. An archer, equipped with a bow and arrow, protects the nose, while a telescope is seen looking out from the tailpiece.

Hi All,
To my mind to many people have to much money to lose let alone embarrassment by those who promised an all singing all dancing aircraft, and lets not forget those who fly and test this aircraft will be gagged from saying a bad word about it, you only have to look at the F-22 and how it’s problems came out not by some technician admitting them but by a pilot who flew them sitting in silhouette expressing his concerns about that aircraft. This article below is just as an example of another failing of the F-35 white elephant. Along with the C4 Despatches programme ‘Britain’s Defence Squeeze’ slightly touching on it’s failings just shows the lack of belief that certain armed forces are having in this aircraft. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2974717/Pentagon-s-expensive-fighter-jet-set-use-Royal-Navy-HMS-Queen-Elizabeth-not-carry-advance-weapons-design-flaw.html
Another video you should watch.
Pierre Sprey has long held the belief that the F-35 cannot do the job of the aircraft currently in service and should be scrapped just watch his videos and he being one of the designers.. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Pierre+Sprey

Hi All,
Trolly Aux,
Yes I have noticed that internet has slowed down considerably over the last year or so, while I realise the advertised speeds are only available at times when the web is on a quiet period, I also realise that everybody who uses the web cannot have the fastest speeds simply because it is impossible to have 100% web users using at the same time, the speeds are based on those who actually use while others are off line, then when one lot log off another lot log on allowing it to speed up at certain times of the day and night.
Could it be just that more and more people are accessing the web with the advent of phones being more able to access the net rather than Pc users ? But I assume it frustrates you also the amount of time to click an item on Ebay then seems to take an age before you can view in detail said item, were as before you clicked and in a couple of sec’s you could then move on ? I know just how you feel matey.
