BAE Hawks

Without wishing harm to a pilot who’s sent to do a job I wish Syria had knocked down a Israeli jet or two or had retaliated as a keep off the grass message that they cannot just do as they want I also have to say my grandfather saw the Jewish occupation of Palestine first hand and had no time for them

Nobody in the region able to realistically. Saudi Arabia maybe, but not while playing “friend” to the US

Maybe not today or tomorrow but one day someone will have ago and if the bombing was not as said then it will make Syria more determined

and the world can only hold down Iran for so long one day someone will start selling them arms 😮

A little off topic but dose anyone know when the RAF E-3’s are due for retirement and what capability the 737 AEWaC has because if the UK has a need to replace E-3 in the next 10 years buying 737 for two roles may make P-8 a good long term option and the same could be said for a Airbus but they some way behind Boeing at this time. However all this means no jobs for the UK aircraft industry unless the aircraft are built in the US and fitted out in the UK

Are the Canadians still thinking of getting an amphibious assault ship because if they are they might need some lynx wildcats and around 20 F-35’s

If the French need to get more of there helicopters to Mali one possible way could be to send them down on Charles de Gaulle and maybe HMS Illustrious and fly them off into south west Mali

I have to say hats off to the French old school paradrop that’s the way to get a lot of troops somewhere quickly good effort 😎

One option could be the Bell Griffen as used on RAF Akrotiri but I think it will be merlin
