Brilliant. I wish our public service TV would spend our money in such a cool way.

Hehehe, and for those of you that don't already know, this is what a Reliant Robin is when it's not being a space-shuttle...



As long as I didn't get anti-hotlinked, you should basically be looking at the 'coupe' version of the van used in Only Fools and Horses ;)

Edit : In fact, I think that is the van version I have a picture of there.

British space program you say? I would like to take this opportunity to pimp Warren Ellis' Ministry of Space graphic novel. All you loyal subjects should go out and buy it; it's a kick-ass read. Basically, the Brits win the Space Race big time and have sprawling space stations and whatnot, decades ahead of everyone else.

:lol: This, of course means that at least the other countries are never far from a Tescos when they finally reach space ;)

Seriously though, I'll take a look for curiosities sake if nothing else :)

The best of British engineering.



Guess you guys didn't grab enough captured Nazi scientists to make a decent space vehicle :P
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
