Nice job everyone.

These are my personal thoughts and you won’t offend me by not agreeing with my point of view.

Concorde is the most beautiful piece of aeroengineering ever created. It doesn’t look bad from any angle. As a matter of opinion, it looks beautiful from every angle. It has served the UK proudly, quite rightly being classed as the perfect flag carrier for Britain. Beautifully designed, beautifully maintained and beautifully flown for over two decades, it is a masterpiece. It rightly deserves to win this important competition.

The iconic map of the London Underground is one of the most recognised publications around the world. It signifies simplicity of design with perfect function. It is comfortingly familiar to regular viewers while still welcomingly understandable to strangers. It rightly deserves to win this important competition.

I voted for the Spit.

So, another great chapter in the history of the greatest navy in the world passes into the history books. Farewell, you excellent defenders of the nation. To the Sea Harrier, its crews and to the engineering staff, you have served with distinction and can proudly rest, knowing you have never been found wanting in times of need.
I salute you all.

I like the idea of a cat called Shackleton. Can’t think why. Of course, you could have called one of your current ones ‘AEW II’, the only proper follow-on to a Shack. Probably get overruled on that one as well though.

jbritchford, the guy I knew was Chris Britchford. He did a lot of time on Shackletons and the Harrier force in Germany. Don’t know if this helps.

Sorry everybody from straying from the thread.

Seaking93, could you please update us as and when there is a final result? Thanks.

Stupid me. I have just realised something else that may be relevant to your project. Namely, the intuition used to decieve technology. I refer to the utilisation of more natural elements to overcome the technological advances. Specifically, the use of Navajo Indians (or more correctly, First Nation) radio operators for the Americians and Welsh radio operators for the RAF etc to prevent the opposition, with, at the time, high quality radio listening devices, from knowing what was being said in the air. And it worked.
