Another uk sighting (midlands)

It’s been public knowledge since it first flew in, I think, the late 90s (98, 99?); then was put on the market, failed to gain interest and put in storage, now it’s back in service flying new payloads around and taking part in RAF tests and exercises. The X-RAEs are also back flying I think as well; I’d like to know a bit more about them if you have any info. The information I can find is sketchy and contradictory at best.

With regards to Taranis, I’m 100% sure that won’t be flown in the UK. With the first flight being just two years away(ish) there’s no way the CAA would let an aircraft of that type fly in UK airspace by then. Everything I’ve been told and seen of Raven has said that it was flown at Woomera. Soarer and Kestrel however flew in the UK and both look a bit like Raven, I could see how someone could muddle them up.

Shame about Pegasus, a very interesting programme and a big boon for Qinetiq, hope it’s still on track.

As for me, I’m not in the industry; I’m sort of trying to get into writing about it though. Nothing too technical, just jotting down facts and figures and hoping to flog them to someone lol.

That’s ok I’ve got all the contact details I need for now, I won’t be using them for a while though because I’m in the middle of reorganising a few things anyway. Thanks for the offer though, I may very well send you a U2U sometime down the line if that’s ok.

crap crap crap crap crap.
snoopy yuk you like to make up stuff.
qinetic? whats that ? the name of a techno band?
they are testing a triangle the size of a model airplane?
pretty big achievement.
and as far as the tr-3b is concerned, well thats real, and i even know where it or they may be stationed and its not area 51, but i prefer not writing it.
look up pascoe vale triangles on youtube...2 such tr-3b's just floating in the sky were filmed. i dont believe in aliens, i dont believe in alien ufos.
until i see one atleast.
but the tr-3b is american made, and it definately lives up to the name of area 51, where even dreams seem possible.
