I love these old documentary compilations. Thank you Dronescapes

[@Dronescapes]

Glad you enjoyed them

[@stargazer5784]

An excellent compilation. It's great to see some of the old test pilots. They were a different breed. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for uploading this. 👌

Thank you so much, Ian, for this particular video. I'm designing a bullpup around the fire control group being in front with a long striker transferring energy from the hammer that is ahead of the bolt & telescopic bolt carrier. All modular & ambidextrous with the reassembly determining left or right hand operation. Along with all that you need an integrated sound suppression/flash hider/muzzle brake device, right? Unfortunately it adds about 6“ in length.😢 But as an SBR, who would care!?! But it is my fantasy so I'm designing the round, too. Hahaha! A .25 Auto Mag, imagine a .22 WMR having a slightly larger more reliable brother, LoL. I'm also thinking that it would need three types of rounds; a heavy subsonic FMJ ball round(~950fps), a medium weight supersonic FMJ (~2,500fps) & a Low Mass, High Velocity (LMHV/AP), hardened projectile (~5,000fps) with a compressive strength ›140,000 psi as well being the cheapest of the three rounds! At a hair less than 22" in length without the brake with nearly a 17" barrel & sweet linear pull trigger & hammer that's loosely based on a Colt 1911 trigger & grip safety, it could be something really neat. This is all doable as the technology for the complete system is mostly quite mature. Unfortunately, weight is the enemy & rate of fire might be as low as ~300/min. So, no need for a select fire beyond full auto & safe! LoL Titanium maybe? IDK. I'll post a picture on my channel eventually of the design.

The EF-111 'Raven' ECM variant was also called the 'Electric Fox'. A truly outstanding jamming platform. During the mission to strike Libya, the 3rd target was Muammar Qaddafi's residence. A bomb landed in his front yard, supposedly blowing in the front wall and killing his son. Supposedly.

Canada here.............still embarrassed about the Avrocar............

[@stargazer5784]

You shouldn't be. That thing represented one hell of an engineering challenge, and Avro did get to fly! Not very high mind you, but still, it did work.

[@marcuscowles3384]

Britain here, still embarrassed that, once, the Farnborough Air Show featured 100% British aircraft. Now there's (maybe) one.

[@damright]

The aircraft (X5) at 26:16 is most definitely a TA183 German spinoff

[@user-ThomReec8587]

About 70% of this video should be called the F111 a multi role aircraft

[@michaelfoort2592]

Avro arrow!!

Deaeu..
