The P47 had the same [ P & W R 2800 ] engine as the Tiger cat . but the Cat had 2 of them so would be very loud . |

Hence the first scimitar propeller design. "Some" improvement have been made since, the Antonov AN-70 being a good example of what can be done nowadays with propellers.

Blimey, what knowledge we have here! (A lot of anorak wearing going on)
Whho would think that the best place to learn about historic aircraft would be a random thread in a motorsport forum. Not complaining.... far from it. Learning all the time about something that has always interested me but only from a distance. So thanks to my learned tenths colleagues. |

EB we were relying on you to teach us about refined wines and women but obviously you left this scene!

I am having a glass of red as I type this (not sure how refined it is tho! I thought they did that with oil).... social distancing and meeting women causes problems, not to mention facemasks and rubber gloves.

There was a report in the Times recently which commented that German brothel-keepers were complaining that they hadn't been able to re-open yet....Apparently one group have submitted a "hygiene plan" to the authorities, which includes "a requirement to wear masks, a ban on group sex, and a requirement for clients to leave contact details. Meeting in corridors, shaking hands, and embracing will remain forbidden, but prostitutes will be allowed to remove their masks to perform sex acts"
The report didn't say whether the plan had been accepted......... I saw a report in the Sunday Times that over here a doctor was suggesting that we could give people we meet a hug if we held a shower curtain between us.....expect panic-buying of shower curtains |

Seeing as we are venturing away from planes and cars, I posted this in the weird local stories in parc ferme, but thought it might cause a chuckle here ....
Definitely one for the what could possibly go wrong file? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-52843846 |

In some cases its not what you want which is important but what you can do. OK, they re-open the houses of joy, but what about the 1,5 meter distance? This is a restriction!

As you might be aware, MotorSport Vision circuits (Brands Hatch, Cadwell Park, Donington Park, Oulton Park and Snetterton) are in the process of reopening on a gradual basis in line with the government’s phased strategy, and trackdays and testing are now taking place.
Please be advised that under the guidelines, and our COVID-19 operational protocols, it is not possible to admit media or members of the public to any of our venues at this time. As soon as this situation changes, we will email you to advise. For the avoidance of any doubt, whilst these protocols are in place and until further notice, please do not attempt to gain media access to any MSV venue as you will not be admitted.
