    Hello mate. Welcome to the mix. Good to have you here. Nice to know there's another history and nerdy stuff fan here. Out of curiosity, when you say planes.... are we talking planes during the world wars too, cause I've got a collection of about 72 model ww2 planes and I'm a big fan of that era myself.

    Pretty cool right. And the Uni I went to even had jet engines donated to them by Rolls Royce which they still have on display. A Rolls Royce Avon 1950 engine, and a Rolls Royce Derwent Mark 8 Turbojet. And yeah, you are right that they were the coolest machines for the worst reasons, but I reckon the jet era may have been delayed by decades if not for the wars you know. What do you reckon?

    You know, I'm not sure the cold war would have gone the way it did. Without WW2, the British Empire is still a Major Player, The German Reich is also a major player. The soviets wouldn't have gotten past the great purge and years of experience in becoming a military powerhouse. So the cold war would be very different, perhaps even more tense or possibly less depending. But you are right. Various nations were developing them in some form prior to WW2, and they would have started to take form and enter service eventually. It's interesting to think how different it would end up being though right? I mean, Heck, figures taken in operation paperclip would never have been taken by the US if there was no ww2 so who knows how that would end up making things. Strange indeed.

    Well, I'm quite a fan generally of anything warship related in the world wars, and generally the era of the British Empire myself. And what else are you a fan of might i ask. The anthropology stuff sounds cool.

    Wow! That’s super cool! Must be a fun industry to work in

    as much as it can be fun, it can also be a nightmare at times! it’s been pretty cool recently as we’ve been seeing the baby antonov aircraft’s a LOT - i think we have the big antonov due in today too!
