But it is massive by Holland standards. Once again the UK is not small.


You're contradicting yourself. If the UK is massive by Holland standards,
then the US is certainly gargantuan by UK standards, and the UK is small by
US standards. It all depends on one's point of view.

You have this great ability not get any point. The point is that the
British made better planes but never sold well.


No, it's you that does not get the point. If the British made better planes
they WOULD have sold better.



Proves the point. The 1-11 was a better plane than its eqivs yet sold
well
but inferior US planes sold better.


If the One-Eleven was a better plane than it's competitors it would have
outsold them.

Now read them again 4 times. You can move your lips when you are reading.


You're not even trying to understand. There are some very knowledgeable
people contributing to this thread, you have a real opportunity to learn
something about aviation and you're wasting it.

If you are going to suggest that Alaska and Hawaii are not part
of the US, you're suggesting something that nobody will agree with.

Now, if the US can be geographically split, why can't France or
Denmark? Without actually looking at a globe, I'd imagine that
Greenland is closer to continental Denmark than Hawaii is to
the continental US.

So you presumably believe Hawaii isnt part of the USA since
its 1500 miles away in the middle of the Pacific While Quebec
must be since you can drive there from New York State
in a couple of hours.

The 727 was a larger plane.


The 727 was marketed as a short/medium haul transport.

The BAC 1-11 was only short haul. In Saudi Arabia they use 747s as a medium
haul airbus from Jeddah to Riyadh. You can use along haul for medium and
short. You can use medium as short. But a short is a short.

The Tu-104 was in service before the Comet 4 and 707
for sure.


The Tu-104 began passenger operations in September 1956.



I once flew to Moscow in one during the
mid 70's , strange aircraft with that glazed nose one
almost expected to see a bombardier sitting there.


The Tu-104 was essentially a modified Tu-16 bomber.

The 707 was essentially a modified bomber too. Uncle Sam paid for the
development.

You lack basic logic and reasoning.


That's not a determination you're able to make.



The point: The UK is not small.


It depends on one's point of view. Review my previous message.

I did. It was silly.

I'm not comparing the UK with others. I am looking at the UK. It is not
small.
