Yes, interesting you missed quite a bit, or what that “source” failed to mention. £159 billion is to be spent on all three of the British Armed Forces’ branches over a 10 year period. £44.5 billion on air related projects while £18.5 billion will be spent on ‘combat aircraft’, including Typhoon. Not difficult to find.

Although I do wonder why Eurofighter GmbH are wasting their resources by attending Aero India ’13 in promoting the Typhoon to India, on the other hand Mildave, theres still quite a way to go before Dassault secure this deal and lets face it, they do have the uncanny ability to balls up deals at the last minute, i.e. UAE. So lets not get too carried away.

jbritchford,

I’ll admit that would be unlikely, but they may wish to operate Typhoons in a purely A2A role?

Could do, it’d do the Rafale good for looking after it’s ar$e and I wouldn’t always rely on the MKIs. A bit of a long shot though.

Get a grip for frig sake, Thobbes. They’re doing these kinds of exercises to get the most realistic scenarios as possible. Everythings thought out to the merest details, even stenciling simulated kills. Don’t get why you have a problem with it.

Great news, and change in plans for a Guitar. Firstly, my sweetheart defenetly has the job at Forbidden Planet in case her position at HMV is dropped. Very, very happy about that cause I know how much either of these jobs means to her. 🙂

Secondly, the Electrical Guitar Company is something we’re going to look into later on, we both don’t really want it enough for the price it costs.

However, where I work, we took delivery of a few Guitars from Ibanez, Fender and Suhr. Some very lovely things indeed. Very exciting going through the Ibanez lot as there was one in particular I was looking forward having a look at, and playing too. Its a signature model called the Apex100 which is by Korn’s Munky. I’ve heard and read about it but never played nor seen it. Though I’ve played the older K7 series and the cheaper Apex2 variant which is still produced today. Apex2 is very nice but the colour is awful.

Anywho, as I were getting the Apex100 out the packaging when my lass popped in store while on her lunch break. Told her what it was I was about to unpack and she got more excited than I did, so, took it out the packaging and opened up the case it comes with and, Ooooooooooooof!!! What a lovely thing it is and my God it sounds even better than it looks. My Girlfriend totally fell head over heels in love with it and made a suggesting by saying: ‘Wayne, you know how its my birthday soon, I defenetly have a job, this costs less than half of that other one and… and you can have my large strawberry milkshake from Burger King….’

So… its sold. Paying over three months in installments and I still get to take it home for her cuz work trust me. Cool! lol

This is it, identical one.

Lovely ain’t it!

No offense to anyone but isn’t it a bit pathetic stencilling simulated kills from exercises. :rolleyes:

No. Everyone does it. If its pathetic to stencil simulated kills from an exercise then it must be disrespectful to stencil real kills from actual combat.

Hehe 🙂

Amusing?

i think ef-2000 do have IRST and it use aim-120C or meteor rather than aim-120B because it a stimulation so i dont think they have to use old weapon

Luftwaffe Typhoons don’t use IRST/PIRATE, along with Austria they’re the only Typhoon operators that don’t have this capability.
