Not even remotely in a straight line. The Staish would have been doing his fucking nut.

Technically, not a Saturn V (no third stage), but arguably a variant of the Saturn INT-21 (the starting point for Skylab itself was actually a conversion of a third stage, S-IVB).

The Dan Dare-fulness is terrific.

You can certainly tell that the engines were moved outboard from the wing roots at the last minute. Almost a British Leyland level of "fuck it, that'll do" to the design of the inboard sections.

This guy needed quite a big hill indeed:
Still has the authentic '70s bloke moustache though (post-hippy variety).

Looks like Glouster Javelin

Javelin FAW5+ because they have the vortex generators and pylons on the wings. Not a FAW8 because it doesn't have the modified leading edge. So they are FAW5/6/7.

Never not Knowingly Misunderstood
Always my favourite, pure flash gordon, the Artouste was always a pita though when needed and ground power was almost essential, but they were basically French so to be expected

Why the distinct cockpit window arrangement though?

example of pre-photoshop image manipulation. In reality a group of airmen who were serving their national service were bored out of their minds, so they set the aircraft on stands under the wings and retracted the undercarriage, then one of them lay on the ground pretending to be terrified. To complete the trick in the darkroom the stands were erased to create this hoax of an image."

Watched this last weekend. New Zealand TV documentary about the Mt. Erebus disaster:
Air New Zealand used to do these sightseeing tours of the Erebus volcano in Antarctica. Until, one day, one of their aircraft was missing.
This is a very good documentary of the old school - no bangs or whistles, just a tale told well, and told intelligently. This is what they took from you.
Cold War angle: the crash site is near a US antarctica base, and the lads inside are "uncooperative" when the crash site investigation team turn up from Wellington.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?

I'm really going to have to watch that one before too long. It keeps breaking out of its containment pod. . .
