ihg goes to the board and writes 10 times "I will never ever use irony on a forum without smileys".

I was more thinking of plastic as in Hasegawa plastic model kit than of CFRP...

Indeed! It's difficult to say which of those two devices is the worse.....

Not if you knock up said microwave from a surplus RAF WW2 magnetron



So BEagle ... I take it the Vickers Fun Bus didn't have all mod cons in the galley then ... or did you just take a packed lunch

The guy in the background is not a guard, just trying to find out who nicked his stainless steel thermos flasks to make the rocket launchers!

Unmanned? Yeah, right. If that's 'unmanned' then I'll eat my dinner jacket. Look, it's even got a little peephole at the front for the driver to see where he's going..

On a less savoury note, as it is manned, I think I've just sussed out the purpose of the tupperware underneath ..
'Jettison centreline ordnance' just took on a whole new meaning

I imagine it would be less stealthy at take off. That shopping trolley wheel would squeak like buggery!

That radome has come straight from the roof of a leisure boat
You might laugh, but many years ago SOAF fitted a yacht radar to a Skyvan, and the Seavan was born... it did not trigger ESM warnings on USN ships, and ISTR one commander was caught out and subsequently was relieved of his command.....

FARS Newsagency...you couldn't make it up could you?

Loving the take off & landing. I guess its hard to see the centreline from deep in a concrete bunker.
