Who Invented it, and who invented it first?

Who invented it....

Aye, unfortunately that was before we Scots had invented the wheel.....

 

The Scots invent everything because its always too wet and cold to play outside. I guess that's why the McWrights invented the plane - so you could emigrate to Oz!

 

Who invented it....

And who do you think invented Australia ? It's a Gaelic word meaning "Land as far away from the English as is possible to get..."

 

tell you one thing, there is a new language evolving here, I can barely understand my sons, and sometimes can not understand a word the radio announcer utters, and as for those semi, literate league players!!
Sometimes I ask my foreign Eng speaking friends if they understand Australian English, and they say"not a word"

Choice of two Stu: (1) - still under construction at the shipyard Volga, on the outskirts of Nizhni Novgorod. The construction process is top secret – the new aircraft does not have any analogues in the world and it is already considered to be an aircraft of the new generation. The technical parameters of the plane are unique; the cost of the project is some $90 million. It will be called Spasatel (Rescuer).

(2) The A-40 "Albatros" amphibious anti-submarine patrol aircraft developed by G.M. Beriev design bureau. It made it's maiden flight in December 1986 and entered service in limited numbers in 1990.
US intelligence in 1988 designated it as "Mermaid."
"Mermaid" carries a range of armament in it's internal weapons bay placed in the rear part of the fuselage, and is powered with two "Aviadvigatel" D-30KPV turbojets and two RKMB RD-60K booster turbojets placed over the wing. Booster engines are located beneath the main engines. "Mermaid" has a flying range with maximum fuel in 5 500 kilometers and with maximum payload - in 4100. Aircraft is completed with an in-flight refueling system. "Mermaid's" flight crew consists from two pilots, flight engineer, radio operator, navigator and three observers.

Thanks Kach - that'll really confuse Stu. Good additional material on his query. I love the note in the first pic: "The Albatros can now be ordered...." I'm having two - how about you ?

 

Heres ten cents, go 'phone somebody who gives a 5h1t!

 

Australia in Ambon Indonesia meaning "Oh I have seen it..." It is a miss intrepreted name... I think.

 

I know this is a very old stream, but I'll update the link for info on Mel Beardsley, now at:

Also, any experienced naval architects' help is invited for my own canal-boat/yacht design at that Website. Thanks!

We use to say that a Norwegian invented the cheese slicer (as we know it), but the English Wiki says:
