I remember a time when a potato knife and my mother’s nail file sufficed to finish the task. Very simple fundamentals. Sometimes I got really lucky and found some leftover scraps of sandpaper in my dad’s toolbox that he used to sand the rust off his screwdrivers or any tool that was left out in the rain… usually by me or my brother. Those were the days! When building and painting a kit took about a few hours and the result made you happy. So where did I drop off the cliff? Especially when I was always very reluctant to try something new. To give you an example, a long time ago I used to employ globs of tube glue all the time. Velpon, Britfix 77 or any gel formula I could lay my hands on. I didn’t care about the strings that I’d spun after gluing the fuselage or wings together. That was something that belonged to the territory and you dealt with it. When liquid glue was introduced in the early seventies, I climbed on a soap box and cried blasphemy! It was never going to work! Now if I don’t have my Plastic Weld close or liquid cement, I panic. What about my scalpel, bladed knife, cutting mat, putty applicator, punch & die sets, sanding sticks, magnifier, razor saw, sprue nipper, needle files, scissors, caliper, scriber, hemo- stats, 3 versions of super glue and ten different tweezers? The list goes on and on. I realize that I need those things before I can function properly. Why? Well the answer is very simple. Having the right tool for the right job is part of the culture we are in. We all evolved into the 21st century without knowing it. Even us modelers. It is all about quality, convenience, availability and yes, there maybe be a little bit of snobbism thrown into the equation. But it feels so good to sit in front of your workbench and admire all the gadgets that you have acquired and at your disposal. The thought that you can tackle the most complicated build and have all the tools to do it, feels like absolute gratification. That quality by itself also became part of our hobby. It carries the same philosophy behind it as the stack of un-built model kits we have in our garage. We “need it all” to function at our best. Did we become snobs in the real sense of the word? Not necessarily. Now, I have the same en- joyment as when I was a kid – I have just set the bar a bit higher on the quality I expect out of my builds. It makes me happy at the end of the day. And that is what it is all about. It is just a different stage in my life where I have evolved, learned and improved the skills of my hobby. It might take me forever to finish a model and sometimes I never do, moving on to something else. But the essence of it all is that it brings me fulfillment. And…I have the tools to do it! Cheers!

Variants Avia S-199 Hispano Aviacion Ha 1112 1 German Airfield, France, 1941 propaganda photo of the Luftwaffe, Bf 109 fighters on the tarmac The Messerschmitt Bf 109 was a German World War II fighter aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt in the early 1930s. It was one of the first true modern fighters of the era, including such features as an all-metal monocoque construction, a closed canopy, and retractable landing gear. The Bf 109 was produced in greater quantities than any other fighter aircraft in history, with 30,573 units built alone during 1939-1945. Fighter production totalled 47% of all German aircraft production, and the Bf 109 accounted for 57% of all fighter types produced[1]. The Bf 109 was the standard fighter of the Luftwaffe for the duration of World War II, although it began to be partially replaced by the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 starting in 1941. The Bf 109 scored more aircraft kills in World War II than any other aircraft. At various times it served as an air superiority fighter, an escort fighter, an interceptor, a ground-attack aircraft and a reconnaissance aircraft. Although the Bf 109 had weaknesses, including a short range, and especially a sometimes difficult to handle narrow, outward-retracting undercarriage, it stayed competitive with Allied fighter aircraft until the end of the war.

    SP2016-3124855 A Generic Thermodynamic Assessment of Reusable High-Speed Vehicles V. Fernandez Villace, J. Steelant ESA-ESTEC, Section of Aerothermodynamics and Propulsion Analysis Keplerlaan 1, 2200 AG Noordwijk, The Netherlands Email: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Lifting based vehicles for either space transportation or sustained hypersonic cruise are exposed to high thermal loads during the atmospheric trajectory. The thermal protection system has therefore to efficiently manage the thermal load that penetrates the aeroshell in order to guarantee a satisfactory mission performance. In the present study, the thermal endurance of a LH2-fuelled Mach 8 hypersonic cruiser is assured by soaking the thermal load across the aeroshell into the on-board tank system. The so-produced boil-off acts as a coolant for other aircraft subsystems, like the cabin environmental control system. Further, in order to avoid over-board dumping of the vaporized fuel, a boil-off compression system is proposed to inject the fuel into the propulsion plant. The numerical approach comprised a detailed model of the airframe, where the heat transfer across the interfacing areas between the different subsystems, namely tanks, cabin, propulsion plant and the aeroshell, was resolved based on one-dimensional engineering models. This methodology allowed the evaluation of the complete mission cycle, from the apron, through taxiing and airborne phases and back to apron. 1. INTRODUCTION 2.

    Nicolas Trudgian Alpine Thunder A new limited edition featuring the Me262s of JV44, Adolf Galland's famous jet fighter wing, during the final phase of World War II. By late April 1945 most of the Third Reich had been cut to shreds by the advancing Allied forces and those units remaining intact were regrouping in southern Germany and Austria. With American advance units nearing the outskirts of Munich, on 28th April Adolf Galland took the decision to evacuate his precious jets to Salzburg, deep in the mountains. Bad weather prevented their departure until the following morning and they only just managed to escape under the noses of the encircling Americans. Galland had hoped to battle on with JV44 but the unsuitable mountain airfields prevented the famous fighter wing from doing much to delay the inevitable. So the beautiful Alpine meadows became the final resting place for what was potentially the most formidable fighter unit of the war. In just a few days the jets were left abandoned. Their short, exhilarating war, consigned to history. Signed by THREE highly respected holders of the famed Knight's Cross who flew the Me262 during World War II.

  • Defence Acquisition

    Defence Acquisition

    Defence acquisition Alex Wild and Elizabeth Oakes 17th May 2016 He efficient procurement of defence equipment has long been a challenge for British governments. It is an extremely complex process that is yet to be mastered with vast T sums of money invariably at stake – procurement and support of military equipment consumes around 40 per cent of annual defence cash expenditure1. In 2013-14 Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) spent £13.9bn buying and supporting military equipment2. With the House of Commons set to vote on the “Main Gate” decision to replace Trident in 2016, the government is set to embark on what will probably be the last major acquisition programme in the current round of the Royal Navy’s post-Cold War modernisation strategy. It’s crucial that the errors of the past are not repeated. Introduction There has been no shortage of reports from the likes of the National Audit Office and the Public Accounts Committee on the subject of defence acquisition. By 2010 a £38bn gap had opened up between the equipment programme and the defence budget. £1.5bn was being lost annually due to poor skills and management, the failure to make strategic investment decisions due to blurred roles and accountabilities and delays to projects3. In 2008, the then Secretary of State for Defence, John Hutton, commissioned Bernard Gray to produce a review of defence acquisition. The findings were published in October 2009. The following criticisms of the procurement process were made4: 1 http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120913104443/http://www.mod.uk/NR/rdonlyres/78821960-14A0-429E- A90A-FA2A8C292C84/0/ReviewAcquisitionGrayreport.pdf 2 https://www.nao.org.uk/report/reforming-defence-acquisition-2015/ 3 https://www.nao.org.uk/report/reforming-defence-acquisition-2015/ 4 http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120913104443/http://www.mod.uk/NR/rdonlyres/78821960-14A0-429E- A90A-FA2A8C292C84/0/ReviewAcquisitionGrayreport.pdf 1 [email protected] Too many types of equipment are ordered for too large a range of tasks at too high a specification.

Please help improve this article by introducing more accurate quotes. (November 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) The symbol of Poland's First Legion Infantry Division in modern NATO symbolizes NATO Alongside the Military Symbology is NATO standard for military map tagging symbols. Originally published in 1986 as The Publication of Allied Procedure 6 (APP-6), NATO's Military Symbol for Land-Based Systems, this standard has grown for years and is now in its fifth version (APP-6D). These symbols are designed to improve NATO's joint reliability by providing a standard set of general symbols. The APP-6 forms a joint military symboler system for land, air, space and formations and sea-based units, which can be displayed either for automatic map display systems or for manual map marking. It covers all joint services and can be used by them. The history of the symbol of the first basic military map was first used by western forces in decades following the end of the Napoleonic War. During World War I, there was a level of harmony between the British and French systems, including the use of red color for enemy and blue forces for allies; The British previously used red for friendly soldiers because of the traditional red coat of British soldiers. However, the system is now widely used based on those created by the U.S.

The Engesa EE-T1 Osorio was a surprising development for Brazil – a tank that, while not in the class of the latest tanks of the time, one that was far above the league of the typical third-world offerings. In design, it was similar to many tanks of the time; this was not surprising, since Engesa had a lot of help from West German, British and French armor experts. The EE-T1 was very promising – an excellent design that several countries were very interested in. The Saudis in particular went as far as to place a pre- order of 318 for the Osorio. That deal, however, was essentially killed when the Saudis saw the incredible performance of the M-1 Abrams and the British Challenger, and they literally cancelled the Osorio order at the last moment. This resulted in the cancellation of demonstrations to other countries, the demise of Engesa, and with it a promising medium tank.
