Porsche always knows how to go one better. In the
development centre in Weissach near Stuttgart, Porsche technicians have put the
918 Spyder super sports car - which can achieve up to 345 km/h (215 mph) on a
slimming diet. Since the technical specification is already outstanding, an
improvement was only possible by reducing the weight using magnesium instead of
aluminium and titanium instead of steel. The lightweight construction of the
887 bhp super sports-car has already overwhelmingly demonstrated its qualities:
the 918 Spyder carrying the Martini Racing design and fitted with Weissach
Sports equipment - recognizable by the additional aerodynamic wings at the rear
and the 7 spoke rims - established a new lap record on the northern circuit of
the Nürburgring in September 2013 with a time of 6 minutes 57 seconds.

The Halifax was one of the most famous Royal Air Force 2nd
World War bombers and flew more than 47,000 missions over Germany. Compared to
the previous version with RR Merlin engines the Mk.III version powered by
Bristol Hercules radial engines delivered a great improvement in flight
performance. This variant entered service after 1943. Halifax bombers were also
employed as towing aircraft during operations in Normandy and at Arnhem as well
as for deploying agents behind enemy lines. Although there were many problems
during its development and that the Halifax was always overshadowed by the
Lancaster, it eventually turned out to be best-known Allied bomber of the
War.
The Halifax Mk. III was armed with 8 Browning as well as a Vickers machine
gun and could carry a bomb load of 5,900 kg (13000 lbs). The only original
fully restored Halifax stands in the National Air Force Museum in Canada in
Trenton, Ontario.

Development of the MiG-21 began in 1953. The aircraft was
presented to the world for the first time during an air parade over Moscow in
1961. Its first combat missions were flown against aircraft of the US armed
forces over Vietnam in 1966. The F-13 was a day only fair weather interceptor.
The pilot was directed to his target via radio from a ground based radar unit.
Its main armament was the R-3S air-to-air missile which was similar to the then
newly developed American Sidewinder missile.
With the total number reaching
around 10,800 machines the Mig 21 was by far the most produced fighter aircraft
after the end of the Second World War. Even the later Major General and first
German Cosmonaut - Sigmund Jähn, flew the F-13 during his military service.
