And if you're in the region of Sinsheim or Speyer, these places have lots of aeroplanes which you can go in, including Concorde, Tupelov Tu144, Space Shuttle and Jumbo Jet (and submarines). Quite interesting driving down the motorway and seeing 2 supersonic jet planes in the distance

Fantastic this, a bunch of airfix generals telling us how great decades of British engineering is when all we seemed to do successfully was drop some explosives from one airplane on one of our own airports overrun by a bunch of underarmed, malnutritioned soldiers from a third world country.
Keep it up chaps, Britain deserves what it getsComment

They're remarkably tiny aircraft, but they were designed to take off and get to altitude very fast, blow a bomber or two to bits then land, the use for pure interceptor type aircraft went away long ago.
TSR2 was groundbreaking in an awful lot of ways and one was inspected a few years ago for some design features that are now on some very modern airframes indeed. It's a shame that it was knobbled.
A BA I worked with was the son of an RAF pilot and he told me of an open day at an RAF station when he was 10 where a full flight of Lightnings took off simultaneously and went all but vertical, apparently the sound was astounding.Last edited by TykeMerc; 23 March 2010, 20:40.Comment
