Test-bed for the Olympus 22R engine. The 22R was going into the TSR2. Destroyed by fire on 03/12/1962 after the engine was run to full power on maximum reheat when an Low Pressure turbine disc failed. This disc punctured two fuel tanks which started a fire which destroyed XA894. No injuries caused.

Would you be a good leader of a communal fallout shelter in the event of World War III? Fortunately the US Department of Defense created a self-assessment quiz in the 1970s so that you can "rate yourself as a potential shelter leader"… doomsdaymachines.net/p/take-me-to...
"Take me to your shelter, leader!"
Do you have what it takes to be a shelter manager after World War III breaks out? Take this quiz from 1973 and find out!

75 years ago today, the United States conducted the first of 100 aboveground nuclear tests in Nevada, leading to the blanketing of most of the continental United States (and parts of Canada and Mexico) with significant radioactive fallout over the next 11 years.
