Yep - so old and out of date with a similar vintage to the B-52! Some of the later H-6 versions weren't built until the 1990s and 2000s though.

AA or AAA batteries?

: Suffolk Punchers?

No - Valkyries as per the post only two above yours!

Fair question - nearly 40 years in the electricity supply industry. Although not an engineer, I do know the issues facing my colleagues and the industry as a whole. As I said before, exciting times ahead but some difficult challenges. The difference is largely a timing one. Governments commit to tar...

The electricity infrastructure will easily cope with an electric car future, given suitable will and investment...

May I ask what qualifies you to make such a statement? Are you an engineer with a DNO or in generation perhaps?

Why should you? Because if we all sank to the level of rule and law breakers society would break down completely.

Glad to help. I didn't want to clutter up the thread with yet another long list but if anyone else needs it let me know.

Dave, Just sent you a PM with what I have from my Word document. Should contain all aircraft as seen from Abingdon Airshow.

The battery technolgy is improving all the time. Mass production at a low cost is the bigger issue there but then the same applies to other technologies too. The bigger issue by far for EVs is having enough electricity supply and at a fast rate when it is needed. In a pure EV world the petrol/diesel...

Thread drift so we'd better stay current or be charged - no resistence! Ohmy

Shocking!

Equivalent to over 11,000 MPH!

Here's an idea...how about give the poor bu..ers a chance before condemning them to the rubbish bin? "Why bother?" Well because they can. Just about every invention has been sneered at throughout history. Britain used to be the world leader in aviation development. People complain about us not being...

Clearly not monopolised by Mike!

Infrastructure is not hard if you plan it.

Do you, or have you ever, worked in the electricity supply industry?

"Electricity is everywhere". If I were to respond to that in detail it would take ages! It isn't, where it is there are loads demand issues to consider just for starters. The distribution network is a complex system that needs greater understanding before making throw away comments.

Glad to see chivalry is not dead yet. Don't strain yourself Mike.

If you watch the video clip and read the subtitles it tells you.

Ah didn't realise you are a long-time member.

That's a fine first post - welcome to the forum.
