Whiffs found surfing

[scooter]

Why the heck would it need snow chains ? they'd have to be a big as ship anchor chains, who's going to put those on ? and how ?

Some E-1?  Whilst the E-4 Mafia remains safely ensconced inside.

Oh there are all kinds of logical detail problems with it, I just liked the overall look.

Why does it have quad flak(?) guns mounted so low on the sides and front? Why aren't they on the top, and why are they open mountings when the entire point of the vehicle is to provide protected transport?

Why does the vertical protective(?) bar at the front kink inwards to follow the window line? Why not just make it straight?

Why does that guy have to climb up a dangerous external ladder? Why not just have a roof hatch?

What's the point of the open walkway cut into the side of the cabin?

It looks like it's part of a submarine Harold ---

Don't show this to the Russians, they'll go out and build it. Then Putin will be seen driving it without a shirt on. And we've all seen too much of that already!

I could have started a new category for this... "WHIFs found in foodstuffs."


ALL I know is that these cards came in, of all things.... BUTTER.  So.... buy some butter, get some whifs.....






They're very cool!   

Anyone know anything about 'em?

The three rotor airliner looks like something planned for a civil Cierva W.11 Air Horse

Good looking out, thanks!  I'm going to have to find a way to build that Pterodactyl! Lots of different "versions" too and they seem to get pretty wild, look at this one  :

That was supposed to be a bomber escort turret fighter. A pair of guns either side of the fuselage for the pilot and a couple "out the back" (because in the tail doesn't work here...).

I find the way the pilot could be said to be almost riding her fascinating.

[Caveman]

It's also a pretty extreme angle on the elevator!

[zenrat]

The Pterodactyls look like they have come straight out of an Anime.  Imagine them taking on vanships in air to air combat.

Yikes ! I hadn't noticed that

Those old cigarette card illustrations take me back, although in my day they would have been Tea company cards. There was a stall in Brixton market back in the 50's/60's that just sold either the loose cards or complete albumns. If I'd behaved myself I was allowed a short browse, mind you I really reckon it was my dad who wanted the browse

Didn't the Martin-Handasyde appear in the 'Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines' film, and subsequently as a 1/48 model by Inpact?
