    Lockheed Cheyenne in service

    As some of you will know I inhabit a version of the 1970s where all my favourite stuff entered service. One of these is the AH56 Cheyenne helicopter. This machine looks futuristic even half a century later.

    Sukarno stays in power - what would Australia do?

    So let's assume that Indonesian socialist leader Sukarno was more competent in terms of economic (or at least listened to better advisor) and managed to avoid the economy crisis that led to his downfall in OTL 1966. He remained relatively popular and in power; Indonesia remained socialistic and...
