Big change between this picture and Stars Wars that came out sixteen years later.

Who is still not in love with Ustinov????

Wonderful scene . I had the great good pleasure of taking a class at Loyola Marymount, Los Angeles, from Professor Hugh Gray who regaled us with stories about his work on Quo Vadis? including this scene. Miss him. And of course QV? had a great Miklos Rozsa score.

Hi is it best time to visit austria at the end of march ? Will it be raining so much? Also will tourist spots be open or closed . Thanks in advance

Genius! I remember this scene since I was a kid!

Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day!

Such a great movie and great actors. You clumsy toad!

How have I not been exposed to this before?

Prince John. Mommy!

King Joffrey's role model

Ustinov was easily the best thing in that awful movie.

Great system. I did all the Ikara maintenance courses as an ETS at DSTO in Adelaide & served on DE's in the mid to late 1980's. Problem with the Australian defence industry is that we rarely keep going with these systems and develop them further. There was a "Super Ikara" system talked about but it was never developed. Same will Mulloka sonar, a few systems were fitted & then it was shelved & filed in the "too hard" basket.

This is great to see mate, cheers.

Wow. So fast. Must be 35 mph

It looks delicious 😋

Wait, you can watch your own plane take off from your seat? That's an option now?

That’s an insane pass

Interesting post, not least because you credited some drawings of mine with my copyright. Not all posters are that honest. So thank you. There are a number of points about Ikara and its choice by the Royal Navy. Firstly the principal competitor was the ASROC system. ASROC was designed for destroyers of the USN. These were typically larger and heavier than the frigates of the RN, RAN and RNZN navies that undertook the bulk of the anti-submarine effort. The RN believed that the ASROC launcher was too large and too heavy for those smaller frigates. Ikara was a little bulkier but significantly lighter. Secondly, ASROC was a point-and-shoot weapon that followed the ballistic trajectory that was programmed before launch. It couldn't be updated about target movements after launch. Ikara was different, - it wasn't a ballistic rocket, - it flew a changeable course to the latest known target position, constantly updated from numerous sensors, and for the RN, that was a very big improvement on ASROC. Thirdly, shipborne helicopter technology was in its infancy, with much to learn and much improvement needed. Also helicopters by their multi-tasking nature could be engaged on other tasks when an urgent fast-moving submarine target was found. The time taken to recover a helicopter, refuel it and load suitable weapons made the helicopter a poor substitute for a time critical target. Whereas Ikara was available 24-7 - an all-weather, always available weapon, available at a few minutes notice. Fourthly, - the nuclear depth bomb option. The UK NDB was a variable yield weapon with a yield as low as 500 tons TNT equivalent, so the distance between friendly ships or in shallow coastal waters wasn't a big deal, as it could be in your photo of an ASROC test. That detonation of an ASROC was about 20 times the yield of the 1/2 kiloton NDB intended for Ikara in the RN. Eventually the Ikara was surplus to requirements in the RN when improvements in sonar, wire-guided heavyweight torpedos came along exemplified by the heavyweight Spearfish torpedo fitted to nuclear-powered attack submarines. The best counter to another nuclear-powered submarine. As you Aussies will discover when you get some of your own with the AUKUS deal. There is at least one Ikara survivor at the RN Submarine Museum at Gosport, UK. As for ASROC, there is some good footage of an ASROC firing in the 1965 film The Bedford Incident available on KZbin at kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYG6l6GAlM-kf7c My notes on the NDB intended for Ikara can be found at www.nuclear-weapons.info/vw.htm#WE.177%20further_development_proposals Thanks again for crediting my pictures to me.

Thank you for posting this. Fascinating details on Ikara. It fills in some of the gaps in my knowledge. And I've just got the download of the book (and a couple of others).

Quite a storm!
