Some serious DIY modelling!

AIUI the B2 carries and uses a transponder to give radar returns, this allows it to show up on ATC radars, and obviously on the Tornado. The B2 flew at the RIAT a few years ago, it came on the Saturday and the Sunday, both flown non stop from the USA. Two F15 fighters escorted the B2 from somewhere West of the UK, it made one pass down the runway at Fairford before turning for home!

Well know you ask, no and its totally irrelevant as its a physics issue and not aviation engineering.

So its not aviation you are asking about then, Shame bob was too eagar to jump in and ask the wrong question then.

Yes I work in physics and computers.

I have said this in the past.

So what difference does it make?

That, with your blinkered attitude explains why you do not understand how slavish adherence to speed limits is dangerous!

There is another world than nowt and one, grey. When electrons pop out of shells they are overtaking or dropping into shells, undertaking! Have you tried prosecuting them for that?

I thank you for that.

I have never suggested slavish adherence to speed limits. I have stated that you drive at the maximum safe speed upto and including the speed limit. If you think it is dangerous to do so then where is your evidence or even a logical reason why it would be more dangerous than speeding?

He should understand that there is but one universal speed limit

anything else is just modelling

Dennis is just jealous of people who have cars that can actually reach the NSLs

I take it that this would be IFF then. That is logical.

That all adds up, but it must have been more that 12 years ago since I had that experience. Possibly 15 or more, thinking about it. I've been left ten years now.

My job was testing and commissioning systems for flight, but I saw nothing wrong with dropping down a rung or two to earn a bit more money :-)

I'm not going to bother to check through previous posts on this, though I am confident that you have indicated as much in the past. You have also indicated that it is wrong (legally correct) and dangerous to exceed a speed limit. This is far from the truth. You have advocated slavish gorping at the speedometer to ensure that one did not exceed the limit to the extent that one could be a danger to other road users by not anticipating hazards from ahead, sides and behind.

Conversation over.

Foolishly, I responded to one of his posts tonight. I have avoided for months.

Stand by for more abnormal views and approaches to life.

I won't make a response to whatever he next says to me. It would be futile.

One bright, sunny day when the sun was overhead, the road surface dry and warm with were few vehicles on the road, I inadvertently did 80 in mine going down a hill on a motorway! dennis wasn't there, thankfully.

Recently, during the great snow of 2010, I started out from home in my car to shop in town. I had a bend and a road junction ahead to contend with which was fairly obscurred. I had slowed down and had the vehicle in a higher gear than I normally would in order not to skid. A driver coming from the right on the major road that I was approaching, decided to turn left into the road I was on. But more than that the driver wished to collect a freind from the house on the left hand side of the junction and went straight across in front of me. Foretunately, I was prepared and whilst already using the engine to reduce speed, then lightly applied my brakes and turned the car into the kerb. Doing only 10 -15 mph , there was no damage to my steering and the silly B had a comfortable shock.

It will have IFF/SSR and no doubt will give a response if challenged. The information I was given implied it was an extra bit of kit that is bolted on to generate radar returns, so that an ordinary CCWR or perhaps TCAS could see it, the latter would be useful if it is transiting US airspace.

Where have I questioned the validity of any comments you've made about aerodynamics in this thread? A simple apology will suffice.

As I've said, I haven't offered any comment on aerodynamics anywhere in this thread. You have. Someone (not me) disagreed with you and asked if you had ever worked in the aerodynamics industry. I have merely pointed out that until very recently elsewhere in this thread you have avoided answering that question. Your logic is flawed

This is usenet. You may make whatever claims about your qualifications or knowledge you like. Whether other people believe you is up to them. However, how you interact with others when asked pertinent questions will guide others towards an opinion on the veracity of your comments.

Or it will very quickly tell them you are a f****it.

More cr@p and lies!

It is a requirement of driving to know how fast you are going and it does not require you to constantly look at the speedo. If you are so poor at driving then I recommend you give it up.

Good! I know you are one of the people that just can't drive and like to blame everyone else for your problems, now run along and get some points on your license.

This is true, and as it is irrelevant, why do you need to know what I do.

It depends on who the others are and why they are asking questions.

Well the fact that I think you are a FW is the reason you didn't get an answer.

There is no need to be that insulting!

Oh look an accident from one of those "I can drive better than you" types that can exceed speed limits because they are safe drivers. I had to drive over 1000 miles in that weather, none of it on motorways and still have a clean record, not even a kerb. Must be pure luck if one of these super drivers manages to have an accident and I don't.

You didn't address my comments about the completely erroneous claims made by you about my (lack of) input to the thread. I'm still waiting for the apology because you were *wrong*.

You fail to qualify for one.
