Go and get a stiff drink and calm down - it's only a commercial.

Avro Canada SST design?

Edit to say going offline now for a few hours, so will have to be Open House if correct.

It's the Avro Canada STAT - Supersonic Trans Atlantic Transport feasibility study.

I really should refuse the OH since "a few hours" might be two or three.

However, OH has been declared and thus it is, but I think we should give skytrain a chance when he can get back.

In the meantime it's free for anyone.

Bellanca Skyrocket II ?

I'm off to sleep, so if it is correct, I'll declare an open house.

Morning. Depending on where you look its either the Bellanca Skyrocket II or the AviaBellanca Skyrocket III. Saw it at Oshkosh where it was promoted as the latter, but the US register shows it as the former!

Anyway, good call Brian



evansb has declared Open House

G'day gents.

Internet speed is dying (64kbs?) and it's taking about 40 seconds to refresh a page.

Now that looks American Ken?
