A bit of A.I. colouring brings this to life beautifully. Now can you see just what a gloriously handsome machine it really was? #Blackburn #Aviation #AvGeeks

Earlier I heard a helicopter go by out of sight with an unusual light fluttering sound but then sounded more like a light aeroplane as it flew away which seemed odd It then flew back over later, one of these I think. It sounded odd as you don't often see piston engined helicopters these days.

I fancied buying something a bit lighter than my usual so I picked up Lynyrd Skynyrd's God and Guns album. I'd give it a 3/5, listenable, not awesome but not much that's awful either. This stands out for me, all sorts of echos of other songs here and it works nicely. youtu.be/T1uT6nJFfOo?...

The Loire-Nieuport LN.10 was a prototype seaplane intended for reconnaissance and torpedoing. Its construction began in 1937, and its initial flight in 1939. The only LN.10 built was scuttled on the lake of Hourtin in June 1940 to prevent it from falling under German control.

Since the invention of ailerons, it is rare to find an aircraft without them. However, the SO.9000 "Trident", an experimental supersonic aircraft from the 1950s, does not have them. All of the aircraft's controls are located in its tailplane, for roll, pitch and yaw. © Images Défense
