Skate egg case, North Beach, New Jersey
Eating In Translation: Skate egg cases

Quote:
Skates, and ultimately skate wings, come from egg cases like the one shown here. Most such "mermaid's purses" wash ashore only after the hatchling has emerged in deep water. Though this case seemed intact, the egg was almost certainly no longer viable after being tossed in the surf and left high and dry.

https://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Fastest-Four-Engine-Piston-Powered-Aircraft/dp/1580071635

Quote:
Still the fastest multi-engine piston aircraft ever flown, the Republic XR-12 and its competitor, the Hughes XF-11, were well ahead of their time in 1946. Envisioned as a long-range photo-reconnaissance aircraft with a top speed of more than 450 mph, the Republic XR-12 also offered near jet-like performance for the world's airlines with a 44-passenger commercial version named the Rainbow. Using original Republic photos, data, and artwork, the author reveals never-before-published information about the Rainbow airliner. While the clear emphasis of this book is on the Republic airplane, the Hughes XF-11 is also covered and compared in its role as a twin-engine competitor to the more advanced four-engine Republic airplane. Although the XR-12 and XF-11 were among the most elegant-looking aircraft ever built, the Rainbow was considered to be Republic chief designer Alexander Kartveli's ultimate masterpiece. Conversely, the more cantankerous XF-11 almost took the life of its designer and chief test pilot, Howard Hughes.

The main reason for the cancellation would appear to be the huge costs of the project, a main part of which was the large assembly hall and runway extension at Filton.

It was announced earlier this week that Connie Kalitta has hired former world champion Shawn Landon to drive a top fuel dragster.
Cool.
