Not being funny, but the "10 engined lancaster" appears to have been drawn by an 8 year old in crayon.

Don't worry, it's a site of someone called Rob Arndt. Here is an example of another of his numerous other websites:

http://discaircraft.greyfalcon.us/Disc%20Aircraft%...

He's a bit of a joke really - a self proclaimed 'historian' with a rather worrying fascination with Nazism. In many cases, he simply cuts and pastes the work of other people into his own websites. He even cut and pasted *my* own online research into a model I was building "Bf 109 "White 5" (from the Britmodeller website IIRC), and passed it off as his own on another forum. It was quite funny to see him squirm when, despite strenuous denials he realised that I'd actually written the stuff, especially when I pointed out that I'd made several factual errors in my initial research that he'd copied and pasted.

Treat anything by him with a large pinch of salt (especially "Vril engines").

Much to my surprise if you Google the artist's name this is the first result: http://freespace.virgin.net/john.dell/index.htm
