A bit more thread drift re #366 and e-Go: Rxd invitation this evening to attend the hand over of the first production aircraft on 7th June. I had been a volunteer on the programme so invested a bit. Ok the programme was severely delayed by a factory fire, a number of technical issues that took a while to sort but without the huge budget eventually got sorted.
Oh the link to Mil Aviation - The first customer and new CEO are Ex RAF. Quite a few others involved are Ex mil fliers and Engineers.
So Airlander ay be the biggest dimensional terms thing around at the moment. the e-go is quite small and light in comparison. Unfortunately I don't have a slack handful of beer vouchers to buy even a share in one. Both programmes have served a purpose and certainly attracted publicity and given us something to debate the relative merits of.
Now what's happening in Corrie or East Enders.
