A little more progress

How are these things announced ? Is there a formal report with a series of closely argued points that clarifies why the decision was made ? Or is it simply a case of saying “X or Y has won the competition and congratulations” ?

I would imagine that Phalanx or similar would certainly be on the equipment list for C2.

Early in the morning can be a problem based upon my own and friends experience. I nearly missed an easyjet flight to Glasgow last year as it took me 2 hours 15 minutes to get the departure gate from joining the check in queue. There were mega queues for check in and security. I was really cheesed off 😡

There is a single line note in the Telegraph (while discussing the story about the new London City to New York BA flights) that the 777 has been written off and the insurance claim has been agreed in full.

Does an arrangement like that allow for a degree of in flight thrust vectoring to aid manoeuvring in close combat ?

I am amazed that they have even managed to hold onto a dozen Sea Harriers even if they can’t fly. Don’t tell the bean counters :diablo:
