This famous photo is from 30 years ago. It shows Vinnie close marking Paul Gascoine.
Look at their faces, there's no play acting here, Vinnie has Gazza by the plums and is squeezing hard.

I'm tempted to print it out and ask Vinnie to sign it for me.

This dude just approached us to cater for an open day demonstrating his latest jet suit to the press. Apparently there are going to be 10 of them racing against each other.

Obviously I said yes, watch this space...

Pretty cool. Needs to be up-armored to be true superhero kit.

Not quite Iron Man but heading in the right direction.
Flight duration was always the limiting factor with jet packs, I wonder how long this one can stay airborne?

Probably ten minutes or so.

I bet there will be a few military scouts at the open day.

There is no military value to this yet.

We need armored suits first. Maybe rockets would help you make powered jumps or something.

In general, a soldier does not want to be flying around the battlefield where everybody can shoot him.
