I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Jambo, that last one is a photoshop of a new UAV being developed between the UK and France.
Brt, I work for BAe Systems as an aircraft electrician. I work on Eurofighter flight testing.

Last one is called Taranis.
Ste, what have BAE Systems got to do with F-35? The prime is Lockheed with engine provided by Pratt & Whitney with lift system by Rolls-Royce (if fitted). Intrigued what BAE involvement is.

IIRC, BAE provide a lot of the electronics as well manufacturer the tail(s); tbh, there's a few of 'them' (Grumman, BAE etc) involved in building the F35.

That isn't Taranis.
Bae's work share involves making the rear fuselage and throttle quadrants. There are about 100 uk companies involved with the project too.

Epic pics as usual. Wish I got too see more aircraft, only deal with the engine and landing gear side of stuff.
