Today we introduce the "Rollo". Rolls before you start the engine but you still don't get a free flight lunch, you pay for it.

It took the MoD initiated Antennae -Radio - VLF - Aircraft project team (ARvAPT) 6 years and £4.5B to build a working prototype....subsequently, the project manager was promoted, the chief designer was given a 200% budget increase and 30 more staff, and the bloke who bolted it together was sacked for forgetting the wings.....

Rodger wasn't happy with the engine Hush kit he ordered over the Internet, coupled with fact that he ordered the wrong sized chrome exhaust tips, it turned out to be a bad day all round.

Errr ... One is forever blowing bubbles. Pretty bubbles in the air. They fly so high, nearly reach the sky. And like my dreams they fade and die.
