    I didn’t notice the mention of a helicopter’s maximum speed where the rotor breaks the sound barrier as half of it moves faster than sound as it moves forward along with the craft.

    As always the MOD messed up with this class. It should have been nuclear, it should have had cats (if for no other reason than allowing multiple aircraft types) and it definitely should have had every in close defence system it could carry (did they learn nothing in 1982?). But that is just the way the brits have always done it, clearly we have never taken to heart "buy cheap, buy twice" and we always suffer because of it.

    Saw a "donuts on a rope" over Rochester NY in the middle of the day on a weekend during a picnic at a ludicrous altitude and moving much faster than a commercial aircraft traveling North to South and crossed the entire sky in less than a minute. The whole family saw it, and whatever it was had to be pretty small as it wasn't clearly visible with cheap binoculars.

    I watched a Vulcan Bomber flight demo at Barksdale AFB in Louisiana in 1976. I was twelve, and it was the most awe-inspiring thing I have ever experienced before, or since. The sound was earth shattering. The rolls and hammerhead turns jaw-dropping. I met the Brit pilots and they graciously answered my questions. It was a good day.

  • @Eric-gu2rs

    Simon, I’m shocked how badly you missed this connection: whatever Henry Ford’s stupid anti-Semitism, ironically his assembly line methods won WWII and defeated Hitler. While the Germans used scarce craftsmen to hand-craft masterpieces of engineering (fighters, tanks, guns) that were superior in quality but impossible to maintain in the field or manufacture in sufficient quantity, the Americans overwhelmed the battle field with arguably inferior mass-produced weapons (e.g. Sherman tank) that were standardized and more maintainable. A Tiger tank gets wounded, it gets abandoned on the side of the road; a Sherman tank gets wounded, it’s towed back to a forward repair shop and returned to battle. A German machine gun is more finely crafted to superior tolerances and fires more accurately and farther; but it’s bazillion complex hand-crafted parts are prone to breakdown and unsupplied to forward repair shops; an American machine gun is designed to be simple and cheap and manufacturable by untrained workers in large quantity, and though of inferior performance its numbers overwhelm the battlefield. And while the German infantry were towing their supply carts with horses, Ford-inspired factories were supplying American, Russian, and British troops with jeeps and trucks. The Ford plant at Willow Run outside Detroit was, at its peak, cranking out a B-24 bomber every 63 minutes, 24/7. Though there were occasionally quality concerns about aircraft assembled by unskilled workers instead of trained craftsmen, the sheer quantity had a quality all its own and accounted for a significant tonnage of the bombs dropped on Berlin.
