In the last few years we’re seen the regional airliner fraudsters. The very light jet fraudsters. The supersonic fraudsters. The space fraudsters. The electric (and hydrogen) fraudsters. The eVTOL fraudsters… which ones are we boosting this week?

[Airpower @VioletClub]

It’s now more than five weeks since WT001 made its “significant milestone” arrival at Lossie to “continue” its test and evaluation phase. It hasn’t flown since 21 May. Maybe next week…

@JeffFisch @FennellJW Intriguing - how does it do that?

[Airpower @VioletClub]

@NoontideDaemon @PulpLibrarian This is fake. A Penguin book would say ‘arsehole’.

@Bill_Linnane Prestige now has €100 million of whisky that no-one wanted in the first place. Whisky which might ultimately be great but which will demand a lot of time and effort to get there. This story hasn’t even begun to start to be over yet.

@Bill_Linnane Tennessee buys the facility but has nothing to sell. TD is a contract distiller so Waterford just becomes a new source? Either way the old brand seems to have no value. Mr Reynier was outbid on the €6 million distillery price but can find €13 million to buy stock? Meanwhile…

@Rotorfocus @RoyalAirForce @HarvSmyth @BoeingDefense That’s what he said.

@LordHardThrashe Needs more WE177

[Airpower @VioletClub]

@klaasm67 Looks like it’s still there.

[Airpower @VioletClub]

@Hush_Kit Also this…

[Airpower @VioletClub]

@Hush_Kit The greatest cover on the single greatest aviation book ever

@Hush_Kit What’s Lenin up to there?

[Airpower @VioletClub]

‘We need to bypass the anti-tamper Gert, can you do it?’ Clears empty Stroopwafel boxes off desk, taps a few lines on keyboard, leans back, drags hard on a tulip, looks to camera, ‘we’re in’.

[Airpower @VioletClub]

If this Dutch nonsense is what people are now telling themselves to justify sticking with JSF then we have reached new and hitherto undreamt of levels of delusion. And I didn’t think that was possible.

[Airpower @VioletClub]

@Rotorfocus Free chocolate though!

[Airpower @VioletClub]

@Hush_Kit @ValkStrategy Yes ⬆️

@ValkStrategy @Hush_Kit Radar-slaved gun was introduced on Viggen IIRC. First ejection seat and air-launched anti-ship was Germany though.
