Messing about photoshopping backgrounds into KSP pics today. Not a bad result.

Put a few planes by the runway today to see what it looked like. Lucky the KSP-white parts look quite similar to the 50s RAF anti-flash.

Well, the rescue ship got there and back anyway.

Thanks man, appreciate it - Sorry I didn't reply, completely missed your post. Fixed the P.1154 link, and here's one for the latest version of my weird not-quite TSR2 too - Craft File - Needs B9, LLL and Procedural Dynamics

More old jet stuff, just found an album of a Hawker p1134 I built ages ago on imgur. No craft file sadly, think this was about four or five fresh installs ago

Messing about with Lack Luster Labs parts tonight, made a slightly boxy English Electric Lightning that doesn't immediately blow itself to pieces. - Craft File - Requires LLL, B9, Procedural Wings

I design my entire space program to look like it could have been launched from Boscombe Down in about 1965. Massively impractical, but makes for some nice screenshots.

Thanks man, it's got loads of old crap on it - B9 and KW, Lackluster Labs parts, Wayland station rings, Starvision Flags and Mechjeb. Helped to have the Welding mod too, would have been about 600 parts otherwise

Decided I need a new 0.23.5 station to test SSTOs with. Might build something a bit smaller, pulls about 8fps with a big space-plane attached.

An epic biographic of Jeb, Bill and Bob on a broquest to the stars.

I'm absolutely not addicted to B9 fuselages. Not at all. Octagonal Concord is go. - Craft File - (Needs B9 and Procedural Wings)

First properly functional SSTO I've built that works with FAR. Very happy

Gemini station, in high Kerbin Orbit. Some fine real estate, time-shares available at highly attractive prices (watch out for giant asteroid worms).

One for aircraft perhaps? http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/76228-Post-your-real-life-or-almost-real-life-planes-here!?p=1085796 Useful lists by the way, you've cost me an entire afternoon browsing smart stations.

Had a go at a P.1154 too - think I might revisit it as soon as a decent VTOL mod pops up, the B9 bits are still a bit too broken to work properly with my other 5,000 mods - Craft File - (needs KW Rocketry, Procedural Dynamics, B9 and Firespitter to work)

Like your blackbird a lot! There was a British equivalent on the drawing boards for a while about a decade earlier, the Avro 730. It's a plane that's always fascinated me, messing about making a version of it with a few hundred artistic liberties today. Looked so space-age, I had to SSTO-ify it too - Avro 730 Craft File - (needs KW Rocketry, Procedural Dynamics and B9 to work) - Ascender SSTO Craft File - (needs KW Rocketry, Procedural Dynamics and B9 to work)

Love your Vampire! Built a Vixen a few months ago on 2.3, have to see if I can find the file and put it up some time. I need to get AJE again too, think I used to use it, because a few of my slower planes do Mach 5 the second they hit 20km for no apparent reason. Spent the rest of last night trying to rebuild TSR2, a cancelled cold war fighter, then went all strange and made an ahistoric Kiwi version with a big dome on the top. Probably lamb storage or something.

I use KSP to build old jets because I'm boring. Go to the Mun? Nah. Much more fun to buzz the tower in a cancelled cold war bomber I built entirely out of struts. If you like 'planes, and building 'planes, post them! If you've got pictures, and (maybe) a craft file, all the better. Here's what I've been building today: A Handley Page Victor, an old RAF V-Force bomber, and a never-made-it-off-the-drawing-board seaplane variant. Craft Files: Victor Sea Victor

That thing's brilliant/ridiculous, think you may have just 'won' the thread Been messing about recreating old cancelled cold war interceptors, wondered if any of them could be 'accidental' SSTOs. A few old RAF designs use SRBs to get up to high speeds and mach numbers straight from the runway, to deal with any nefarious soviet bombers - wondered if they might also be able to make it into orbit. I built this Hawker p.1134 variant a while ago, turns out it gets into orbit okay (sort of). Only disadvantage is that with the SRB, you can't really circularize properly, and sometimes even end up escaping Kerbin orbit entirely

Ha, go on then - http://www./download/u4jsp6u2tahtllc/Avro+730-d2.craft It uses a load of mods, mechjeb, B9 aerospace, the crane mod and maybe a couple of others. Stock parts extended, flag decals fro the roundels and possibly the FusTek station parts pack thinking about it, though I'm not sure exactly. Best to take off with it at maximum throttle and about 15 degrees angle of attack (I usually use mechjeb's surface smartASS to stop any wobble due to being cack-handed). Going to try putting a cargo bay in place of the fuel tank next, could be interesting

After about fifteen years trying to get some roundels to work, I finally finished a sort of Avro-730 type plane. Not much of a nuclear bomber, but it can get seven screaming Kerbals into orbit in a cinch

Here's a couple of British Space Program flags, extended from the 1:1 logo. Surprised this is actually a real thing, has a really nice design.

Haven't been on KSP for ages due to bad case of exploding computer syndrome. Finally got the rig rebuild done, which with the new bigger VAB can only mean it's time for even larger, dafter stations HMS Felixstowe

This forum is pretty spacey, but not quite spacey enough. This is due to a severe lack of flying saucers. Share your own if you've built them, or if not get down to the VAB and start doing some science. Engineering breakthroughs don't happen by themselves y'know! Here's my first attempt at advancing Kerbalkind's intergalactic transport - Bit shaky, but now I'm completely hooked on these things.

Bill Kerman, after subduing Jeb with gaffer tape in the MUN-1 lander becomes the first Kerbal on the Mun. Unfortunately, an enraged Jeb, thrashing about in the capsule elbows the space-space-bar, jettisoning the ascent engines and all of the fuel. Bill is the definition of "insanely happy in the face of disaster". A rescue mission is launched from Kerbin and reaches orbit successfully. Only 70m from the Munar surface does intrepid pilot Derwin Kerbal realise the transport lander legs had been fiitted upside-down. In his confusion, he lands directly on top of MUN-1, narrowly missing a now frozen in terror Bill. With newly fitted MK.2 legs, MUN-RESQ2 enters Munar orbit and touches down a safe distance from the space-pile up. Days later, all 8 crew members land back safely on Kerbin, Jeb still entombed in gaffer tape for his and the ships own safety.
