Buying a tablet

I have to admit that I wasn't really into tablets. I have always prefer a good laptop, specially gaming ones. However,  when Google released the Nexus 7, tablets drew my attention. Then I started my research to buy the best tablet I could pay with a £200 budget. You will notice with this blog, that I like to perform a  deep analysis each time I want to buy any tech product. My decision could not be the best one in your opinion, but believe me, it is not a compulsive one.

Due to my job, I have to travel quite often nowadays and I have to carry my company laptop which it does not allow me to browse some web pages or install some apps. Thus I was looking to have something light, not too big and powerful enough for a smooth internet browsing. An ultrabook was not really an option as I already own a netbook.

Eurofighter, the not so well known story

This post is not intended to tell you the same Eurofighter story that you can read elsewhere but to talk about not so well-known facts.

The Eurofighter history goes back to the seventies when British Aerospace and German MBB teamed up to  a joint Anglo-German co-operative study , named the European Combat Aircraft (ECA) was launched. Both companies tried to gain the support from their respective governments but budgetary constraints leaded to a limited support. Thus, to share the cost of this project, the support from other nations was needed and so in 1980, French Dassault joined the project.

In parallel, BAE was studying its own project, named P.110 which was a twin engines and tail aircraft featuring a cranked delta-canard wing and side mounted intakes. At the time, main need for UK was a multi-role aircraft capable of replacing the Phantom and the Jaguar.

Introducing Crazyforfly's Thoughts


I am a young man with a few hobbies... well I have to reckon that more than a few... Thus I had the idea to create a space where I could share all my interests with people.

This blog will not cover a specific topic but a whole bunch of them like aviation, cars, flight and drive simulation, tech gadgets, movies, books, trips and so on.

As a starting point I am going to post a few interesting bit of history about the Eurofighter aircraft... and then we will see where this path leads...
