I think I know exactly where this photo was taken and I reckon its the B&Q DIY shop carpark in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England (the fat chick in the black leggings gave it away)

No I do not, but I have ready a couple of books on that subject and watched even more documentaries that precisely support the claims I made in that post as accurate. I can dig up and present documentation to confirm those statements.

If there is something in that post that you disagree with and can provide substance to support your position, lets hear it.

I've never seen that XB-70 knock-off before, really interesting.

Forgot the B-1 knock-off..............................TU-160 BlackJack Strategic bomber

This is a picture of the soviet union's most famous, most decorated, most respected aircraft designer of all time, Adrei Tupolev. he's the guy who reverse-engineered the B-29 but never quite got it right, especially the engines which were reported to be under-powered and prone to failure:

and a little except from his career:

Quote:

However, on October 21, 1937, Tupolev was arrested together with Vladimir Petlyakov and the entire directorate of the TsAGI and EDO on trumped up charges of sabotage, espionage and of aiding the Russian Fascist Party. Many of his colleagues were executed.
In 1939, Tupolev was moved from a prison to an NKVD sharashka for aircraft designers in Bolshevo near Moscow, where many ex-TsAGI people had already been sent to work. The sharashka soon moved to Moscow and was dubbed "Tupolevka" after its most eminent inmate. Tupolev was tried and convicted in 1940 with a ten-year sentence. During this time he developed the Tupolev Tu-2,[4] He was released in 1944 "to conduct important defence work." (He was not rehabilitated fully until two years after Joseph Stalin's death in 1953.)
Tupolev headed the major project of reverse engineering the American Boeing B-29 strategic bomber, which was the world's first nuclear delivery platform. The USSR had repeatedly asked unsuccessfully for lend-lease B-29s. Using three machines which landed in Siberia after bombing Japan in 1945.

This is Robert Ludvigovich Bartini, he's the guy who designed that POS flying boat that liked to suck sea water into it's engines and fail.

He was lucky and only spent 8 years in prison, but was basically under guard like house arrest for a considerable portion of his life.

The first one was, however the remake was just lies.

The MiG 21 is another couldn't-be-much-uglier Soviet plane. Just look at those proportions and shapes. Does it look like it came from a drawing done by an eight year old kid or what?

It looks like those MIG designers fortunately were able to escape Soviet Russia and got jobs at GM designing Cadillacs.

I'll see your Tupolev and raise you a Sergei Ilyushin..

You're not the only one who has studied Soviet aviation..

:( I like it.
My favorite old Soviet plane is the 15/17 design.

I think they had some good looking birds. Not all, but some.

Even though it is Czech, I want to include this one because it was developed when Czechoslovakia was still a Soviet satellite country.

I have to disagree. It looks like a eight years drawing because that is exactly what a jet engine looks like when you build a plane around it. Easily a ten 10 for me.
