Whiffs found on Facebook

Never look at the comments on you tube.  They always degenerate into "yours is poo-poo and mine is best.  Yah boo sucks to you."

That's SO irritating! There's loads of YouTube stuff about the APT (Advanced Passenger Train) most of which is all totally WRONG, and that's not a matter of opinion, I was right there and DID it, so I know what I'm talking about.

But when I point this out in the comments there's always some prat who comes up with 'But I read somewhere that *********** so you must be wrong'

No, the 'somewhere' was wrong too, damn it!

As Abraham Lincoln once said, "Don't believe everything you read on the internet."

Or the old quote (from WW2? Vietnam?) 'Believe only half of what you see and nothing of what you hear.'

I don't know where the poster found this picture, but it's fascinating. Except for the tail turret, the layout is identical to the Vickers Valiant, with a lot of 'sleekness' added.
Link: Lockheed L-223

It also looks like something in one of the Thunderbirds comic episodes.

Perhaps not so much of a whif but a canceled project:

"Big Al" snowmobile from 1971. Expected to go 300 km/h but never got to race.
