I know this is kind of pointless but there are some things I would love to see in real life:
A modern-ish battle ship firing all its guns. (Like the Bismark)
An old ship of the line firing broadsides. (Like the Victory)
A WW2 dogfight.
A pre-aerodynamics aids Grand Prix.
One of the things I have seen is a battle helicopter hovering over a quarry and firing all guns (2 X 4 barrel Lewises) into it - a stupendous sight.
Woa you have some very destructive desires, I would like to see you get some help :-p
My tech wish list goes the other way.
Time travel
Teleporter
Cloaking Device
A bit Sadtrek, and whilst I cant be sure I will 'never' see them, its highly inlikely.
I have to say a pre aero grand prix would be amazing
A remote control with mute button for the wife

Not a full grid but goodwood FOS will show you some classic F1. I went about 5 years ago when they were celebrating 100 years of F1.
5 days of petroleum heaven and ringing ears!!
An end to all this needles killing,
All wars for what ever reason to end
For us all to live happilly with whoever, despite creed or religion or colour
For all War machinery, boats tanks planes, guns etc to be destroyed
For all imigrants in the UK who are benifit scroungers to Fuck off home, the ones that work and support there familys can stay
For us to vote for a Political party, and they actually do what they promised
all abit never never land ! sorry!

Hmmm... Let me think. You could could just go and see one of the many, many historic GP races and hey presto your amazing wish would come true.
I'm going to try to build a time machine next weekend and if I'm successful, I'll put a post with full instructions on here yesterday.

I've seen a few world war 2 dogfights, well I saw them in 1967 when the Battle of Britain was being filmed .

I would love to go back to August 1822 and see the very first railway haul its first load, have a look around the town and see what the population boom did to it..
Yep +1 for a teleporter.
While I love flying albeit the first and last 10 minutes
the middle several hours sitting cramped up is mind numbingly boring and
completely ruins any enjoyment I have for going on holidays.
Walking into my local Hilton and being wisked to the Hilton Seychelles
from foyer to foyer is my sort of travel plans.
I also do like Steve Ms idea of living happily together regardless of colour religion etc......
apart from them spongin immigrants....classic. : -)
And you were so close to that humanitarian peace prize nomination.

I saw USS Missouri firing her main guns at Roosevelt Roads, although we where some distance away (4-5miles) it was still impressive.

To protect the RN Dockyard (as was).

A toaster that does not burn bread. I've heard this has something to a person's right to burnt bread
Fresh milk which does not go off. Powdered?
I’d have loved to see a zeppelin like the Hindenburg, the sheer size of that flying above you must have been mind blowing

I will add the Hindenburgh to my list and maybe some of the very large flying boats.

Nope, don't believe you. In case it was not clear, water is the only source of energy.
