I enjoyed that

Great pic, T1940.

That looks to me like most of a set of parts for just one engine (the rest may be out of sight to the right?).

It’s no wonder the gas turbine ousted the piston engine when you see that lot and imagine it all clanking away and spinning round:eek:

Anon.

Have you any idea how many blades there are in each stage of a gas turbine compressor? Or how much they clank and rattle at low speeds 😮

No-one is going to produce a lower parts-count aeroplane motor than the rubber band

Hmm, Coventry town centre seems to be more Pound shops than anything else.

Coventry is going through a pretty rough time at the moment

Richard

What a fowl joke

Richard

Another band with an aeroplane

Richard

What exactly are trainee aircraft?

Ones that haven’t quite got the hang of it yet I guess. Sopwith built quite a few, like Pups that seem to prefer resting upside down, or Camels that didn’t like taking commands from the pilot

Richard

Dead right – I misread it.

Perhaps you could do some pruning Moggy?

Concorde
