At the formation of the Royal Air Force a fly off was held to see if no1 (F) Squadron was to be equipped with conventional or vertical take off aircraft. 100 years later the debate was still raging

At Kitty Hawk, as the Flyer is prepared for flight the chase equipment is prepared. If the aircraft falls put the sky the airbag will save the Pilots

The Wright Brothers set out for Europe in order to show everyone the latest cutting edge technology from the USA.

They have both undergone extensive training to prepare for possible Cognitive Impairment which they have heard is endemic in Europe.

So, my vision is that we have hundreds of these contraptions on the cart and, when we see the enemy, we put the Wagons in a circle for defence. I call it, the Big Wing!

At Filton, they decided, to simply make the hangar larger. Now what shall we call it Mr Brabazon?

In 1920 the Cavalry officers did not see the future cumming, just like in 2020 the Pilots did not see automation.
