Yup, although I'm a military kit geek not just aviation.

I believe the same qualities still exist despite the bad press the youth of today get.

I always imagined the bomb bays to be huge but standing inside a B-52 dispelled that notion! Tiny compared with the size of the plane :confused:

Great film too mind :thumbup:

They were made small to stop the cowards chuting out early:D

I went to a lecture by Barnes Wallis sometime in the early sixties: I won't say that he was a broken man by the treatment that the UK establishment had given him but he was extremely upset that all his work on swing-wings had been handed over to the Americans to develop. Like so many other British enterprises. It seems to be in our DNA.
