Here’s one from our friends in the antipodes, the beautiful CA15 Kangaroo....
The forerunner of the A10 Thunderbolt II....the Hawker Hurricane MkIID and MkIV packing two of the imaginatively named 40mm Vickers “S” guns
He has 3 channels (that I'm aware of), Dark Skies, Dark Space and Dark Docs. All contain serious errors.
Yup - I think he spent too much time watching shows like the Twilight Zone and Dragnet as a kid.
Just attempted to watch a vid about the Gloster Meteor. Interesting subject matter but gave up because the guy presenting it had such an annoying way of speaking. It was a Dark Skies presentation so I guess I know what you mean now.
Gave up watching World Superbikes a couple of years ago because just couldn't stand the commentator's delivery.
Have I become a grumpy old?

NO - now sit down and drink your tea!
Ooooppps - I mean......no, of course not Raymond. It likely just means that you're feeling a bit off today my friend.
All seriousness aside, the modern media cacophony makes it so easy for every twit with a $300 laptop to post his/her drivel far and wide that we are bombarded with poorly crafted nonsense. The Dark Skies guy chooses very interesting topics and then totally butchers them with inadequate research, badly chosen or totally irrelevant photos and error-ridden commentary that is annoyingly delivered.
Other than that - he's great!
On the other hand, there is a huge volume of good stuff on the web and the trick is to winnow-out the wheat from the chaff. The effort required in accomplishing that task is enough to put anyone off their feed I'm afraid.
Sometime when you have a minute, Pete, tell us what you REALLY think about Dark Skies...
I can count on one hand the number of times I've commented on a Youtube video and have fingers left over. Last night he put up a video on F-15's vs. Iraqi MIG 25's. Implying with no evidence that one shot down an F-15 in a dogfight. I couldn't help myself....
Also you did it in such a nice way so as not to hurt his feelings.
He did one on the WW2 German tank-buster - the Hs129 which actually had a very interesting history and yet he made such a hash of it that I had to unsubscribe too.
We all make mistakes, but he does it so consistently that I don't know why he bothers in the first place.

Hi halfmile,
Saskatoon's Aircraft Museum has one of those in it's hangar, in screaming yellow RCAF high visibility trainer paint.
Last month an unmanned drone launched.... an unmanned drone... from it's weapons bay.
Just one step closer to Skynet.

The P39 was a pretty aircraft to look at, but apparently not so much to actually fly or maintain. IIRC, we sold a raft of them to the Russians. Those maniacs will fly anything with wings!
