British Engineering Is Not Dead!

[John CParticipant @johnc47954]

Very interesting link to engine development:. There is a short video explaining what is new.

Seems we can still make stuff!

Nice looking and hi teck.

This is all made in Huddersfield and I am proud of it.

Good link John, interesting stuff. Yes new technologies can be developed in the uk , but how long before some slimy politician asks the chinese to "invest " in it and they walk off with the hard work of others for production in china ? Sadly it seems to be the modern theme in all industries.

Wow, that's going to some air/space craft

The government will find some way to screw it up…

Engineering brilliance is still present. .what lacks is the ( maybe lacking in those engineers.) Vision and in consequence the backing…I K Brunnel had to convince backers to cough up to fund the builds…as did baseljet ( sorry spelling).Ferranti .and even Watt.
Maybe engineers are at fault..”oh thats buisness , I ‘m an engineer thats not my thing. “…maybe ( hate him or love him) Dyson ( vacum guy not mathematician) has it right

[MICHAEL WILLIAMSParticipant @michaelwilliams41215]

Could someone explain to me why this project has any merit at all ???

[John CParticipant @johnc47954]

Because: it shows that UK engineering is alive; that UK innovation is alive;  it is providing jobs in engineering for many people; if it takes off (pun intended) it will provide jobs for many more; if we do not do it someone else will and will reap the rewards. That's good enough for me.

Rgds,

John

I read a few different versions of Brunels biography and it seems to me he spent as much time in westminster lobbying for different acts of parliament to allow different things to be built, as he did on site most probabily.
