  2. Actually, after looking at it for a while, yes. But I had to help him...'it's a UK driving licence' I had to tell him. 'I have an international driving permit too, would you like to see that?'... but he declined, obviously too much in one day for a traffic cop in Missouri. Sober Englishmen was not what he was out to find that evening. But don't try to sound surprised Joe, I have found many in the USA would fail to be presumed worldly.
  3. Crazy Heart...

  5. Different horses, different courses...I had a USA patrol man completely baffled by my non-USA licence.... and it was the UK one completely written in English.

  14. Thread fucked by The Mook...
  15. You can look up the moving tail, also called a stabilator.Both the USA and Britain were involved in a race to be the first supersonic flight... and both reached an impass of excessive vibration, The P51 demonstrated this and the term compressibility phenomena was born. The swept back leading edge wing was a key development, which I believe was British. The British lost the taste for the supersonic race and passed a lot of data to the USA, this was caused by the death of Geoffrey de Havilland , September 1946. The first (singular) supersonic flight was indeed Chuck.... I did not claim the Comet was the best, just the first, and after the disasters of the Comet, anything would come along and look good. But the 707 had the advantage of being pre-warned of the design flaws and unforseen issues from the Comet.
  16. Robert Redford, of course.
  17. The world's first supersonic passenger plane.Also the invention that allowed aircraft to go supersonic, the all moving tail. The worlds first jet aircraft..... The worlds firt jet passenger aircraft (De Havilland Comet).... the subsequent issue of metal fatigue was researched and surely imprived future designs. The worlds first rocket powered passenger aircraft... Ente, Germany. It seems strange to need to argue about this as at the time the USA was in infancy.

  19. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
  20. Patriot Games
  21. Falling Down
  22. I guess you are joking but of course it is a combustion turbine (ala Mr Whittle's wonderful invention). Not a regular diesel engine with a turbo(charger) like my truck.
  23. Apocalypse Now
