Give it a few years - when you grow up, you may actually be interested in what the planes did instead of looking at just the purty pictures.

And that history bit has pics of purty lancasters from when they were first made, right to the end product.

Very very nice replicant! Notice that Radiation sign, I've seen that before inside tempest. It drove the instruments I recall.

Frank, its the stuff they used to make the dials glow in the dark, apparently its radioactive so you cannot spend too much time in an aircraft with them.. even though all the old timers did. Stupid modern rules!

Tritium isn't dangerous; nor is Radium when covered.

hawker238 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 15, 2004, 03:12:32 PM »

Then it obviously wasn't covered....

Then....why would they stick that sign on it when the pilots had no other choise then to fly it? The radiation must be very low, but when too close it can be dangerous I guess.
Watches used to have tritium on it to let it glow, people did get cancer in their wrist etc tho
