King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

I followed the building of your model... you took great pain making it but the result is really fantastic! And, icing on the cake it is particularly beautiful and impressive...

That has got to be the finest creation I've seen in a long time. I am awed by it. Totally stunning

Amazing!
I love it!

So, about those engines: are they proof that industrial espionage worked both ways? The RR NK-12, nicknamed the Rollski. Its design gave RR engineers headaches, the gearboxes that drove the props kept breaking until 'someone' obtained some film of a Bear being serviced, which showed that the Russians hadn't geared the props together at all, but drove each prop independently.

Simply awesome.  And awe-inspiring, too.

I loved the newspaper piece, and the ground level shots really bring the whole package together.

Great Work!
