( I believe Wiley Cayote buys them from Acme) And the reserve chute has a label on it that says "If this parachute fails to open for any reason, Please return to the manufacturer for a cheerful full and complete refund". 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldzar Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hey, besides all the fun you have here, has anybody an idea what the windows of this aircraft were made of? They are really big, and I cannot imagine they were made of glass! But perspex was not yet invented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a possibility: Cheerfully lifted of my google search from, I believe Britannica Webcelluloid, the first synthetic plastic material, developed in the 1860s and 1870s from a homogeneous colloidal dispersion of nitrocellulose and … Seems likely even if as flammable as Baldrick's, well, anything.

Sadly Schauberger's Repulsine vortex engine was still a way off but had it been available it would have made quite a difference to the flight characteristics of the Air Sedan...ie, it would have instantly rearranged the molecular structure of the beast and happily converted it into it's basic atomic components...along with any hapless occupants. No, no, we need something altogether less intrusive and down to earth, how about this... Gawd help us..... Just mind the poor soul that sit on the toilet when one try to take off with it.....

We're talking hydraulic fluids here folks. OM15 was your standard red stuff but Skydrol was reserved for more exotic types. From memory, Concorde, VC10 and others. It wasn't as 'benign as OM15 though. I think 'nasty to Humans and other objects' sums it up. And now back to our regular lunacy modelling. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europapete Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) was that the stuff that would dissolve living flesh over a relatively short time?

One can find some specimens of that said product in SMW.... Smuggled in a big black bin bag....

Ah, now that would be great aunt Lettice, a colourful Welsh character from the wrong side of Ysbyty Ystwyth...plenty of folks tried to put their finger on her back in the day but not many survived to tell the tale. It's as well you don't try Bill , you'll never be the same again (assuming you were the same to start with)... Quote Seriously ??

CC, no, no it's the air-conditioning coolant mix of 60% distilled water and 40% methanol carried by the Tu-22 that you need.....it wasn't called the Blinder for nothing.

perdu Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Well we all know its difficult to get on the wrong side of Ysbyty Ystwyth, so if its all the same to your your generalship perhaps we should let her slide back into relative invisibility... But of course with the Melchett dynarsty relative invisibility is a terminological inexactitude since she herself was often seen wandering lonely as a flock of blooming sheepseses in the hills above Strata Florida. Any road up, nuff said. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't have put it better myself Bill....well I could, but they'd have to get me out of my straightjacket first. Quote Hope that piano is fixed down, I got told off for fitting a luggage rack in my microlight without the proper paperwork! Oh yes, we don't want Darling's heart stopping rendition of 'Whoops, Mrs Miggins, You're Sitting On My Artichokes' to be mucked up by a sudden shift in the c of g due to sudden gusts of Baldrick induced turbulence... Almost done with the interior decor...have to draw the wavy line somewhere as we're running out of room. As it is I've had to cut the seating arrangement to a single art deco Green Leather Club armchair (although provision may be made for a few fold-aways for extra small/lightweight passengers). The new Victorian latrine has now been added which unfortunately reduces the headroom in the powder room quite considerably...still, with careful manoeuvring and a good tactical plan access can still be enjoyed by all but the loftiest combatant...An oval framed portrait of the late soon/almost to be, Lady Georgina Melchett will take pride of place above the pilot. A lamp stand and curtains will be next. Edited January 25, 2023 by general melchett 9 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
