Not sure where to put this one.
Caught an old 70s episode of Dr Who on the HORROR channel last night (SEA DEVILS I think). The HMS RECLAIM was featured using a diving cannister to deliver the Dr to his fate.
I remember the RN managed to get a replacement called CHALLENGER in the 80s. But it...
"Adm. Greenert has been in a cruiser tug-of-war with House Seapower chairman Randy Forbes for years. The Navy has 22 aging Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers, whose Aegis radar and targeting system is more powerful than the version on the newer but smaller Arleigh Burke destroyers."...

Could some-one in the know explain what the research ships Akademik Ioffee and Akademik Vavilov were built to do?
I've just been on the Ioffe and there is some interesting kit still onboard. The standard answer was that they were built in 1989 for sound propagation trials, Ioffe the transmitter...

I'm planning to share information on a bunch of unknown SDV/midget submarine/DPV/Canoes etc via my blog (http://www.hisutton.com/) and thought i should also post here for the community. Rather than start fresh threads each time I'll just update this one. And I hope it can also be a general...
Part and parcel of our then nuclear weapons program, many items of which were dual use and dependent on each other. Starting with GreenSat (a spy satellite now thinly veiled as an earth observation satellite), there is no point in having nuclear tipped MRBM/ICBM's without the necessary...
This topic deserves it's own thread - starting off with my favorite S.A. artillery prototype, the LEO or G7, it was part of the 'Losvoor" (far ahead) artillery program. The aim was to achieve all that could be done by 155mm artillery (range, lethality) within a 105mm artillery piece while still...

Near Beaconsfield is a picturesque model village called Bekonscot.
It contains amongst other things a model airport. In the 50s and the 60s it was called Northrow and tried to reflect the excitement of the world outside.
Significantly in 1992 it was decided to change the airport to Hanton and...
Very little has been released regards our own airborne radar project/s (for fighters). Project Meccano is the only mentioned one to my knowledge, the below being the most information to date that I have seen on it. It would seem to relate to project Carver (the SAAF fighter aircraft project)...
During the 1960s San Antonio Aviation Company built a light single-seater under the name Palomino. The aircraft was registered N40J. It seems this aircraft was later modified as a tandem two-seater by Palomino Aircraft Associates, retaining the N40J registration. Again later (1994) it...
We even have not exact date of birth or pristine photo of him on the web. This happen last weekend.
RIP, Sir
Thousands, tens thousands became connected with aerospace and got related professions or lifetime obsession with skies because of you. Many aviation journalists and authors started...
"Longhorn" has been proposed to include a turbofan engine in a lengthened AGM-65F airframe.
This version would be 3.35 m long and could have a range of about 75 km.
Mid-course guidance would be inertial with GPS, while IIR or active MMW radar terminal seekers could be used.
This is supposedly a joint Japan/US project using the Independence class as a starting point, although it seems to me to have inherited some features from at least one MSDF related project of the late '80s/early 90s. First of class to enter service in 2018, which would suggest that it's to be...
