COVID-19 cancels large Crowds?
This new crown virus is ending social interaction for us humans, unless one is ignorant and risks catching it or just does not believe that it is really real!
Sometimes one finds that over the years here in Swansea since 2007 the Wales National Air Show has become a bit boring with nearly the same aircraft and displays showing up or not?
But then it is free and when events are free, one does not get to see the best of aviation on the ground and in the air! Making these shows more of a recruiting ground for the armed forces wither you like that or not?

Spains Long-standing Military Industry! Part-One.
Casa aviation to ground Vehicles.
Not many people know much about Spain and their exhaustive arms industry, the Casa corporation with the famous CN-212 transport an the Avio-Jet are perhaps its most know fame?
But co-operation with Indonesia has been a success in producing the widely exported Casa-Nuranto CN-235 and its larger variant the 265 medium transport and maritime reconnaissance aircraft!
But there is much more to Spain's arms industry with a extensive shipbuilding and both arms and vehicle industries. Spain has always been a European power to be faced with since the 14th Century, with the Spanish Armada and colonial expansion into the Americas!

Invisible Bombers. Part-Two.
Unseen flying Technologies.
With the advent now of micro computers and new material developed in the vacum of space these combined have lead to the design and development of invisible objects to be deployed on the modern battlefield.
Co-alition forces are now employed in fighting the first mass mobile army in modern history, they may have 14th Century beliefs but they certainly know how to use 21st Century technology.
Many new types of drones and UAV, UCAV are being deployed and the air war at one level will be a success, but alas America has had to return to boots on the ground. Perhaps this is the death knell of the Democrats politically in the United States.

Monorails.
Still viable.
Today if you want to travel on a Monorail you only have to visit a handful of countries around the world, Germany, China, Japan, Canada, India and Dubai in the U.A.E. The concept of this form of transport was developed from two projects in 19th Century Ireland, one in Fenit, County Kerry and the other in Killiney. Co. Dublin.
There was a third project in County Donegal, some of these were not totally Monorail in their operation and function. Fenit was the first ground rail project and I believe it has been partially restored. It was to Germany that the credit for the first hanging Monorail would go.
We will not look deep into the systems at this time, but since then many nations have developed successful railways on this concept worldwide. Monorail may come into its own as are cities become more crowded this century.
