In the 1950s, a small team of engineers set to work on a secret program called Project 1794a supersonic craft designed to shoot down Soviet bombers. Now a trove of declassified documents reveals the audacious mission to build a flying saucer. https://t.co/0S8gYBkra8

@twisted_canuck @DrJacobsRad Gerald Butts has just crawled out of his hole and will be heading up Trudeau's bid for re-election. The same old gang; Butts, Trudeau and Fiddle Dumb that gave Canada a black eye with the SNC Lavelin scandal and their stupid attempt to interfere with our Justice Minister.

The R34 arrived over Newfoundland at about 2 pm on 4 July 1919 bound for Long Island NY. Vice Admiral Kerr and his HP giant bomber crew gave up on their Atlantic crossing dreams and set out from Harbour Grace to follow the R-34 to New York. #AlcockandBrown https://t.co/kQNLXGgCvC
