Interesting but very annoying to look at 6 different pictures for about 6 to 7 minutes

I'm always amused by these types of videos.😊 They add very little New information to a subject, while using the least costly visual aids - as a previous post pointed out 6 or 7 photos used for 6 mins of presentation! Add this to a terrible AI voice-over - At least I Hope it was Ai and Not a H I M - because it was just soo bad, that if it were some guy, then they should have Used an AI voice-over!! The photos, voice-over and lack of any Production at all, aside... there was some decent information about models, engines and "end use" which seems to have extended this little 'Jack of all Trades' plane's lifespan by a larger margin than most contemporary planes or the era! I can accept that it was totally out-done by all mid-1950s jet planes, in the same role; but what I often wonder about is, with tried & true aeronautics and reliability well proven, why was it not lightened as much as possible (or even lengthened) for civilian use? Obviously over time technology & avionics would need updating, but when you think about it, a lot of the light 2-seat civilian aircraft - obviously Cessna come to Immediate mind - but a lot of those little planes were designed in the 1950s when this plane was still successfully flying in various roles. Maybe it's just me, but the Costs for buying and running a 2-seat aircraft in the UK, EU, Antipodes & Africa is quite prohibitive -unless you can find a niche business model! - compared to the USA, which is why most light aircraft are manufactured there! (With the exception of Alaska, but most aircraft built to match the conditions found there are bound to exceed, by far, "normal" costs!🫣😰 Ramble over now! I'm away to see if any Arado airplanes turn up in "Rex's Hangar" or "Dark Skies" usually 2 great sources of Military Aircraft Information! Slán, 🤞🍀POD☘️😎 Wishing Everyone; Health, Happiness & An Interesting Life! 🖖

I’m sorry you feel this way, I have put up an announcement I’ll be using my own voice from now on, I do agree dark skies and Rex’s hangar along with others are an exceptional source of information
