Natter

In an early proposal in August 1944, the Natter design had a concrete nose; it was suggested that the machine might ram a bomber, but this proposal was subsequently withdrawn in later Project Natter outlines.

To clear any lingering doubts about the Natter in the glider mode, Hans Zübert made a daring free flight in the M8 on the 14 February, and showed that the Natter was indeed a very good flying machine.

For two hours every other Wednesday, ten to 16 members of the congregation at St James’ Church got together at Stratford Youth Hostel with their own cake and coffee to have a knit and a natter.

Not being both of the same gender – Chips being female – I cannot say what the ladies natter about.

The locals gather at the pub – a classic country multi-purpose hotel turned motel turned bar – in the evening for a natter on the veranda, she says.

On Wednesday and Thursday nights, they also host knit and natter get-togethers.

Wolverley Memorial Community Café hosts a ‘Knit and Natter’ session every Thursday afternoon.

Alertacall having time for a good long natter meant the whole situation became more bearable.

In addition to the main rocket motor, the Natter used four solid-fuel rocket motors attached near the base of the cockpit.

Under ideal circumstances the Natter would fly up and above the enemy after shooting down some Allied bombers, at which point the rocket engine would have burned out, essentially turning the airplane into a glider.

To the irritation of some other customers — almost always men — she would take the time to natter.

The show dissolves from something that explored one of life’s most pivotal age shifts – told with humour and dramatic weight – into endless natter from characters whom nobody cares about.

As a reaction, the museum's director Tobias G. Natter resigned in protest, citing Ucicky's past as a Nazi propaganda film-maker.

At an altitude of about convert, the Natter suddenly pitched backwards into an inverted curve.

At some time during the project, the Bachem-Werk was ordered to give complete details of the BP-20 Natter to the Japanese, but there was doubt over whether they had received them.

Bachem stated clearly in the initial proposal that the Natter was not a suicide weapon and much effort went into designing safety features for the pilot.

Following its one-time attack with its rockets, the pilot would dive his Natter, now effectively a glider, to an altitude of around convert, flatten out, release the nose of the aircraft and a small braking parachute from the rear fuselage.

However, owing to the potential dangers for the pilot inherent in the operation of this precarious aircraft, the Natter is sometimes listed as a suicide craft.
