Something the staff have been doing during our downtime now we’re starting on here

We think of a theme & the best photo wins, the winner chooses the next subject, it’ll be open for 48hrs to allow the best timescale for entries

Todays theme as it was for us staff is cold war machines thats not a Vulcan

Over to you, I’ll choose the winner Monday morning!

The best part about the Cold War was all the crazy Gerry Anderson-esque designs, like the Orlyonok and other erkranoplan designs. Absolutely nuts.

When I think of the Cold War, I think of rugged, brutish Soviet types, such as the Fitter
