UK stealth
Watched a history channel show about the evolution of stealth. It seemed fairly recent, at least I hadn't seen it before and the material was very current. It made a quick mention of a possible (manned I believe) stealth being developed in the UK. I believe the name assigned to the program was HALO. Ok, what's the story?

In UK, under Tony Bliar's dictatorship we're paying a huge amount of money for this type of thing.
We call it Stealth Tax.

HALO stands for Hostile Artillery Location System. See http://www.baesystems.com/Newsroom/N...260220032.html .
Which will disappoint the conspiracy theorists!
My guess is that current research will probably focus more on UCAV stealth - see http://www.baesystemsmarine.co.uk/ne...71206news1.htm .
But what did crash at Boscombe Down on the night of 26 Sep 1994?
Is that a black Omegaaaaaaaaaaaaarrgh.........

If memory serves, the only context in which I have come across HALO is High-Altitude Low Opening as applied to covert insertion by parachute.
I think it is worth noting that the whole of the RAF is now stealthy - there are so few ac and people left that we/they are terribly difficult to find!

For stories on BAES manned LO programmes, Google 'REPLICA'.
As for events in 1994 at BD, who says anything happened?
Oh, the Internet does - so it must be true.

I think it was the stealth aircraft being developed by BAE Systems at Warton. It appeared in Flight international about 2-3 years ago. They had got to the point of a large scale model, and they used a large part of the aircraft in the Northrop Grumman Bid for the JSF programme, which was ruled out of the competition just before the build phase.

Found the British Stealth programme. All the research at that place near Amesbury, went into producing this.

Great - looks like said brolly was designed by British Waste'o'space itself - very aerodynamic and I'm sure it's easier to hold, but correct me if I'm wrong, if the wind is blowing hard, surely the rain's at a greater angle and therefore the huge area they've chopped off the front renders it bloody useless???
