New supersonic Travel?

 Forgetting Concorde!

The way that the media are reporting supersonic travel is something new, the XB-1,when we have thousands of combat jets that can break the sound barrier many times over, but we also have the possibility of converting an America B-1 bomber to a civilian aircraft or re-start the Concorde program, but this is where the U.K. has given way to the states again?

Concorde could seat 100-110 passengers, but the current jets 20 to a planed 60, costs may be the main factor, but a converted B-1 could seat 28+ for starts!

So all the hype gives us the impression that this is something new when it is not, but many younger people may be fooled into believing another lie, such as that of Boeing and Space-X being the only things developed over the defunct Space Shuttle that could do the job!

Entertainment Trailers. Part-One.

Ancient times to the Present.

People have always wanted to be entertained or to see something new?

Today many trailers are designed for music systems or mobile bands, in fact a trailer can be used for many things in this area? In ancient times a long waggon was used like a caravan or stage coach for the transportation of Royalty or other military usage.

The recording of the first serious entertainment trailers was in the 16th Century when showmen appointed by various wealthy families where commissioned to display Menagerie's of animals, lions, wolves, birds, elephants, snakes and other unknown animals to the British Isles.

Similar developments also travelled across the rest of Europe, while Italy and France may have seen the first mobile plays. But the trailer did not come to the fore until the development of the steam engine and the German inspired organs, where today these fascinating machines can be seen at the many steam and vintage fairs across Britain.
