A lot of the German paper planes seemed to be so far ahead of their time. Hard to truely know whether there was the capability to make them work...

Related to deodorant cans , I can remember some Rovers lighting them, so I think that was at a campfire and it was more like a bomb going off...least 16 or so. Definitely old enough to know better anyway. Stuck one of the usual size spray cans in the fire made a boom more like a decent sized...

I think it would have to be the Typhoon or the P-47 Thunderbolt. These aircraft made it impossible for Axis trains and ground forces to move. They increased an already difficult position to an impossible one for their enemies.

Now where have I seen a German paper project similar in design? Accidential double post sorry.

Now which German Luftwaffe 1946 paper project does this plane remind me of? I'm sure I have seen something similar before there....

I hate to be the person that points this out but there is actually zero hard evidence the burnt body from the Berlin Bunker was actually Hitler. A lot of circumstantial evidence and therefore it is entirely possible it may have actually been a Soviet or other Allied gun in stopping a suspicious...

The fact remains though that even if you delay US entry into WW2 some aspects of the result will change. It is presented as a fact that the US would have got involved in 1941 which simply is not entirely true. America was largely poised between those that wanted world involvement and...

Even if those aircraft had got into service, a large proportion would have gone in being inferior. I am not saying the US would not have got involved eventually, I am assuming it gets delayed. We forget that at until the day of infamy speech USA was fairly evenly split. The Pearl Harbour...

I have a suspicion that the NSW tanker semitrailer could be based in an area considered safe for smaller fire trucks fighting major bush and grass fires to resupply when their own water tanks run out. Maybe for working in rural areas where there may not be many lakes or waterholes to draw from...

A good WW2 Alternative History would be to look at what would have happened if a massive number of experienced Russian generals hadn't been killed by Stalin. A large part of the early WW2 battles were fought by generals who had extremely limited experience. I think in this timeline Operation...

Apologies if I double-posted some of those. Here are some more along with something completely different...

Okay, Here are some more Police Cars from the Internet from around Australia. Some of them where I know I have indicated the State involved.

Australia does have big ladder trucks based in the cities. That was a big bush fire where a lot of those vehicles would have fallen apart getting to it. In bush fire conditions you can't rely on having water close by so the last vehicle is for when you need to take the water to the fire...

I think when reviewing Japanese WW2 figures that the Japanese Warrior Cults that figured heavily in military training at this time believed it was honourable to die for one's country is a major factor in this. The Japanese soldiers were prepared to fight to the last man at all costs. Indeed it...

Okay, last one for now from Aaron Coghill, here are some SES service pictures from the same blog.
