Rowland White's Project Cancelled shop

[Weaver]

Turns out that aviation author Rowland White has a website and store selling aviation merch. It's called Project Cancelled because he read that book as a kid and it was the thing that sparked his love of aviation and informed his writing career. Good sense of humour mixing aviation geekery and pop culture on display!

The shop is here: http://projectcancelled.com/

Couple of example designs I particularly like:

[The Wooksta!]

I like the TSR2 Pilot's notes.

Couldn't someone mock one up for the Project Cancelled SIG display?

Well spotted!!  This is a most interesting site and, if they were actually available, I could see myself spending quite a lot on pilots' notes!!

7:2:1 If quarry is suspected of entering a cloud, electrify cloud with capacitators as per sec.14:4:13, having first prepared skynets to catch quarry's body as per sec.18:3:7.

7:2:2 If quarry does not fall from cloud when electrified as per sec.7:2:1 this indicates that quarry was not in cloud.

7:2:3 If quarry has apparently entered a cloud, but you have proved that they have not by electrifying it as per sec.7:2:1, a trap is indicated: do not enter cloud.

8:3:1 Ajax class vessels are designed to engage similar warships in maneuvering combat.

8:3:7 If engaged by a large force of small adversaries attempting a boarding action, increase speed to maximum as per sec.1:1:4 and take violent evasive action as per sec.2:3:2.

8:3:8 If adversaries attempt a boarding action per sec 8:3:7, do not under any circumstances attempt to fight off this action by stopping all engines and manning topsides to repel boarders unless high confidence exists that ship's security detail (see sec.11) outnumber adversaries and have recently completed marksmanship training per sec.11:3:17.

Now that's a cool site, thanks for the advisory.

I can see a few decals making their way to me...

He's added a lot more Pilot's Notes designs since I last checked. This is just a sample:

i LOVE the fact that they're 'PROMULGATED'. 

Just off to find out what the hell it means now!

I had to look it up.  It's a lot less interesting than it sounds.

Yes, dead right.

But that won't stop me thinking of ways to drop it into a conversation...............

You obviously had nothing to do with higher echelons of the Civil Service during your working life Kit  I remember at an early meeting I attended one of my colleagues was hastily scribbling some surreptitious notes, I was only attending as official note taker, and when I asked him why, he replied that he was noting down those words being used for which he had no idea of the meaning  . As time progressed and some of the older "Servants" retired language did become a bit more normal, but it never quite became day to day, especially when in Whitehall.

Promulgation  has, as one of its definitions "To distribute widely".   Am I allowed to wish "promulgation" as a punishment for the individual with no sense and even less courtesy whose driving very nearly put us off the road on the way back from Hereford Cathedral this morning?

Certainly, as long as you state the preferred means of said promulgation.

Too right! I avoided such contact as much as possible! 

It was difficult enough dealing with the MoD's various departments, all of whom seemed very 'anti-American', and my last employers were a US firm at their roots. Unfortunately for the MoD many NATO test requirements quoted our equipment as the preferred choice.

I too had a run in this morning with a badly driven SUV.  At the wheel was a small elderly person of indeterminate gender wearing a face shield which appeared to be partially misted up.
Explosive promulgation by means of inserted IED would be my chosen retribution.
