    Momentum bomb

    I didn't find anything about Momentum bomb project in the forum. In Chris Gibson & Tony Buttler's book "British secret projects: Hypersonics, Ramjets & missles" this project names "RAE Momentum bomb": and "Vickers Momentum bomb": What does it mean? And I have another question. Do you have any...

    Rover Turboprops

    Rover developed gas turbines for automotive applications, development continued after the marque's absorption by Leyland in 1967. In addition to automotive applications Rover also produced gas turbines for APU applications, as described here. They also went as far as testing them in aircraft...

    Lance versus Blue Water

    I should know the answer to this. When does Lance first emerge as a likely replacement for Honest John and Sergeant and even Corporal, given its range. I only ask because Lance does seem to make Blue Water pretty pointless as it has better range and more mobile with its M548 based launcher...

    Lunar International Laboratory (1960s)

    Came across this while researching something totally different. This project was first proposed by Dr. Frank Malina (one of the founders of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory) in late 1960 as an ideal candidate for the first activity of the just formed Academy of Astronautics (now known as the...

    Rb 08 anti-ship missile

    This rather obscure Sweden weapon system, actually, quite interesting: It is the first Western shipborne anti-ship missile ever commissioned, and the only one Western SSM close to Soviet cotemporary analogues (like P-15 "Termit"). Interesting to note, that it seems to be essentially an...

    The Daleks in the Anderverse

    Those of you who remember the old Gerry Anderson tv shows may not remember a 60s comic called TV21. It had stories based on the Anderson shows but also a strip devoted to the Daleks but without a certain Doctor. I always wanted to see a crossover between the two worlds. Some years back I did a...

    Evolution of HMS Bristol

    There are various threads covering the Type 82 but none (nor in books and online) trace the evolution of the design through the images published in the 60s by the MOD and any subsequent reference. There is an excellent drawing in Brown/Moore's Rebuilding the Royal Navy I wonder if anyone with...

    Boeing swing-wing fighter - TFX, FX or ?

    Based on earlier posts in this thread, this appears to be a model of the single-seat Boeing 818 variant. My understanding of the TFX requirement is that it always was a two-seater (early ones were tandem, and later side x side). So I'm not sure where this fits in ...

    Saab Viggen concepts and unbuilt versions

    Is there anywhere in this fine forum which gives more indepth information into the proposed Saab 37E and Saab 37X variants of the Viggen? The Saab 37E was proposed as a Lockheed F-104 replacement for European NATO airforces in 1975; While the Saab 37X was proposed to Norway in 1967–68. Ive...

    European Defence Force

    Not trying to provoke either side of the current debate but I am old enough to remember a time when the 6 original members of the European Community discussed the setting up of a full blown EDF in the 1960s. It was never a runner politically but had it been, I imagine the following equipment...

    Vulcain Maritime Propulsion Reactor

    I found some interesting articles on small nuclear reactors and maritime reactors from the 1960s. The business case they make for the small reactors as well as how to construct and run them economically are quite similar to those made for small modular reactors today. New Scientist No. 288 (24...
