Automated Machines Progressing in Agriculture?
Naio Orio is a French company making waves with its 700Kg tool carrier that can work with brassicas and carrot and a host of other crops and coming in at 200,000 Euros for the big farmers is a splash in the pan!
Four models are now available working with a Dutch company they can offer a large selection of tools for automated work on the farms and is one of the many break through's that are being made in the field?
North Sea Incident?
Deliberate was it negligence or deliberate, one has to wonder and why at this time did it happen with the loss of one merchantman and two ships the SOLONG cargo carrier under a Portugese flag travelling from Scotland to Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Aviation fuel carrier STENA IMMACULATE under a U.S. flag on contract for the United States air force, anchored after arriving from Greece!
What could have been far worse, has not come to fruition as yet, but a danger to wildlife on East-Yorkshire coastline remains to be seen?
It remains unclear what was happening on the bridge of the SOLONG, while the STENA IMMACULATE was on an anchor ten mile east of spurn head and an inquiry will eventually tell us the truth of the matter?
Smaller business class Jets?
Britain, and France lead the way with the one-hundred seat Concorde until a crash in France twenty-five years ago ended a most successful trans-Atlantic affair, meanwhile only Singapore airlines operated the type and the Soviet-Russians operated their Tupolev TU-144 between Moscow and the far east, but the demand was not strong and the type was retired too!
On the other hand the U.S. has gone it alone with several larger Boeing concepts, but this new type will allow a one third version to be built more so for private and business flights and to be employed world wide, the secret to this type is perhaps alternative fuel, speed and operational costs being much lower than the original types?
One will just have to wait and see what will happen, or is this another red herring, pink elephants ect, that we will never see the light of day as so many went before!
