There is a car that was built in the 50s that still exists, it's a car and you stick the wings and propellor and it's a plane.

I do like cars, yes. That DB9 was just..well...it was...just amazing. I have been a fan of Aston Martins though, for a long time. The DB7 I thought was amazing, but that DB9..nothing can match it...

i saw i picture somewhere of a russian tank with wings so it could glide around..................

A thank with wings ?!? I want to see that ! I wouldn't want to be inside when it lands, though. Think about it : tanks don't have good suspention... It should shake a little bit when that thing hit the ground.

Tanks actually do have good suspension, they have to have good suspension. The Christie tank suspension was one of the best of the war (it's what the T-34 had).

Is that the tank Lanc?



Doing things like that you have to have good suspension.

Would the Mossie have received that much attention? I was under the impression that during the BoB it was fighter production that was receiving priority.

Better than a Spitfire? Because that is what it would have to beat out.

The Mossie might have replaced the Hurricane. Of course it would need to show it's self as quick to produce because the RAF needed fighters NOW. But I don't think it would have replaced the Spit in production.

Yes, the Mosquito was quick, cheap and easy to produce. The MOD would have accepted it for those advantages, and its brilliant capabilities. It's armament would have been a lot more ideal for taking down the Luftwaffe bombers.
