I miss her so much...
Imagine declaring yourself a world power and not having strategic bombers
>>65451138imagine having the largest empire in history and loosing it in less than a century, and still calling yourself a world power

>>65451135ugly!
More of a Vulcan guy myself.
>>65451135Why is everything the Bong make so fucking ugly?>VictorFetal Alcohol Syndrome ass >LightningPregnant Trash>VulcanPlane with downs syndrome>ChallengerDropped on it's head as a new born>WarriorlolThe last good looking plane that the bongs made was the Meteor. They have never made a good looking tank.
>>65451286>loosing itUh oh ESL melty
>>65451462>everything the Bong make>it'sUh oh even more ESL melty
>>65451536>>65451540NTA but these mistakes are more common among native speakers due to falling education standards. ESL tend to not use contractions.
>>65451462The worst cases of cold war Bongitis are the navigator positions on the Canberra and Sea Vixen.
>>65451462>>65451135This gives me old anime vibes, like future boy conan, and considering the site we are on, is a good thing.

>>65451536>>65451540Russians are really mad at the UK, since once again we opened the door to another layer of assistance to Ukraine despite their threats. Pretty soon other countries will also be dropping blueprints for advanced weapons on Kyiv just like every other time we opened the door. Some seething on /k/ is to be expected.

>>65453217There is absolutely no concession to aesthetics anywhere on the Lightning. It's a pure expression of state of the 1950s art functional design.

I love british early cold war aircraft designs. They have that little something that makes them destinct and very nice to look at – even though they aren't pretty
>>65455095There was a time when you could book a ride.
>>65451135>>65451339>>65451462I think it looks cool. Looks... muscled, somehow. The contours. Looks strong.
>>65453209>>65453229>>65455095Something about its design is so quintessentially British
british prop planes like the Spitfire and Mosquito are some of the most iconic and beautiful ever but their Cold War jets are just ugly to me desu
>>65451135God I wish she got her combat debut bombing Jakarta during the 60’s, if only that son of a bitch Sukarno didn’t puss out and actually tired to invade Malaysian Borneo
>>65455481You can see where Thunderbird 1 got its shaping from.
>>65451305Behead those who dock tails!
>>65455833
>>65455481>unable to cope with modernity or keep up with the new powers but still trying very hard
>>65455833I find it hard to believe that the tanker and the lightning are communicating in the clear, when did encrypted radio come in?That story could admittedly date from the late 60s, say 1968 at the absolute earliest, the US had (hard to use) encrypted radio as early as 1955, no idea when/if bongs had access to it.
>>65453211>>65453229>>65455095Believe it or not these ugly fucks could mix it up with F-16s pretty good in the 70s/80s. According to a Belgian F-16 pilot I know the lightning couldn't turn with the F-16 but the F-16 couldn't match it in the vertical, so mock dogfights got pretty chaotic pretty quick.
>>65456881Phantom at home
>>65455833>keep running back and forthThe Tu-95 didn't have the crew tunnel like the B-29. The tail position was a completely separate compartment, they did usually have two guys back there though.
>>65451462>They have never made a good looking tank.Wtf are you on about bruh
>>65457683Pic obviously unrelated.
>>65453091off-center cockpits are kino
I finger blasted a Lightning that was on display once, they needed to put a drip pan under her after I was done.
>>65457853So when did you have your sense of taste surgically removed?
>>65455528best looking and performing Merlin-engine airplane ever
>>65459556looks so cute with its snub nose and high visibility cockpit, if amerilards hadn't dropped the bomb we'd get to see it engage zeros
>>65458199About the same time that Br*tsh were lobotomized.
