    I MESSED UP!
    The missile under the Lightning F.6 at Midlands is the Firestreak, not the later Red Top with the frontal locking capability I talked about. You can recognise them from each other by the Firestreak having a pointed nosecone while Red Top has a rounded nose, I am just an idiot.

    If i might suggest a further air museum to visit, RAF Cosford has a fantastic air museum with all 3 V bombers, an ME262, one of the TSR-2's and a further 3 hangars of aircraft its definitely worth a visit!

    • @ArmorCast
      @ArmorCast  Год назад +1

      Cosford was on the list, but unfortunately I had to spend the day I HAD put aside for it revisiting the national archives in Kew for research purposes, so I missed out on that one. Did get a lot of footage from IWM Duxford though, including the TSR-2 there

      @ArmorCast ah that's a shame, glad you could see a TSR-2 nonetheless, its my local museum and I only realised recently how bloody good of a museum it is, definitely worth a visit in the future if at all possible

      Imperial War Museum Duxford is probably the best I’ve ever been to, MUUUCH bigger than this, with plenty of tanks as well as aircraft… but that’s usually really crowded, this place was bloody empty even when we got there!

    I have heard that the basic concept for the English Electric Lighting was nicked from an Australian design. It was only the drawing board design stage and the English Gentleman that the Australians had placed in charge of aircraft development said that it was a waste of time and money so drop it, which the Australians did, and he then went home with the design schematics and then helped to produce the Lighting. Is there something to this, or is it just something that someone said?

    • @ArmorCast

      Can’t say it’s a story I’ve ever heard myself, but there might be some truth to it. I’ll have to have a look, see if I can find anything 👍

    A few things, 1. These things are going to rust away in a few years if they don't get them inside. 2. Why such a long time since your last video? 3. I like the South African Rooikat, I think it's cute, too bad it has not seen combat anywhere. and 4. Your thoughts on the Ukranian BTR-4.
