Call for 2021/2022 GB Suggestions

[zenrat]

I'm intrigued at what a What If Kylie would be like !!

I could tell you, but this is a family website...

[NARSES2]

I apologise if there seems a lot Chris but I have actually merged a few and deleted some already covered.
Honest 

No probs mate, I know you keep notes during the year.

I'm intrigued at what a What If Kylie would be like !!

Me to, lucky I've not got a blood pressure check tomorrow 

[NARSES2]

Unusually I'll add one of my own.

The Anniversary GB. Find an anniversary that is occurring this year and build something inspired by that. Anniversaries would need to be multiple's of 10 (possibly 5) so no 298th anniversary of ......... etc.

As an example the 320th Anniversary of the War of the Spanish Succession 1701 to 1714. Sometimes known in the UK as the Marlburian War. Louis XIV's Air Force, Tank Corps ?

Expeditionary Forces - OTL exemples: WWI's Portuguese And Thailandese Expeditionary Forces; WWII's Brazilian Expeditionary Force and Blue Division

Operation Downfall - Yes, one was already made, but since there's also two "Navy" and two "Cold War" GB's, I give it another go

Operation Unthinkable

[AeroplaneDriver]

I like the "Old Kit" and "Gunship" ideas a lot. 

[McColm]

Another idea is Biz jets,  business jets with no more than 40 passengers.
These can be based on real world or kitbashed, shortened fuselages or adding a longer wing.

[McColm]

Car estates/shooting brakes/station wagons that never went into production.
This includes all the concept designs that never made it into a full run production . This excludes Tor cars and Crayford cars, small design companies such as the Lynx Eventer.
Examples would be the Rover P5 and P6 estates these are excluded but the Rover SD1 estate would be included. Hatchbacks and fastbacks are excluded as well.
I will except any Ford Mustang after 1970 as there's a few Mustang station wagons based on the early models.

[Rheged]

One I've thought of for a while is  SUB ZERO, which would permit everything from steam driven snowploughs via icebreakers and trans-Antarctic vehicles to absolutely anything on skis.  Equipment belonging to the Greenland Defence forces, the Canadian Inuit Rangers, the Himalayan rescue services and Taiga Travel and Tourism Ltd would also count.

I've deliberately tried to make this as wide a subject as possible.

On mature reflection, this could be subsumed (good word!)  into Sandiego89's suggestion of "Trashhaulers", .  The "sub-zero" ideas I had are all logistics based  and if they are combined it's one less for Chris to deal with.

There were only two P5 estates, and there was only one SD1 estate, AFAIK. Why the difference in your classification?

[crudebuteffective]

ok here is my idea for what its worth

alternative jet timelines

jets were invented before monoplanes so you get jet engined biplanes

jets came after swept wings so you get prop driven delta or swing wing

the jet engine never existed you get prop driven A10 OR 747 etc

DOES THIS MAKE SENSE

EDIT: I think this could be merged with my earlier suggestion 'Piston Perfection GB - a rerun of the 2008 GB.  It's got jets?  Not in Whifworld.  It's got piston engines?  Nope, not here!'
I'm up for that.

[PR19_Kit]

That sounds interesting, BAGS of scope there. 

[kitbasher]

I agree.

Apologies for misremembering the Piston Perfection GB, got it my head that was more a piston/jet engine swap GB.  So a merger wouldn't be feasible, I don't think (although my Piston Perfection entry would fit the engine swap idea).

Beg your pardon, I continue NOT to understand. "It's got jets?  Not in Whifworld" so no jet engines. "It's got piston engines?  Nope, not here!" so no piston engines. And then??? What propulsion form would be allowed?

Steam?  Muscle?  Magic?
