How easy is it to get hold of a AK-47 in France; are they legal?

If this terrorist attack had happened in London the press would be full of ‘where did they get the weapons’? Thanks to ‘schengen’ there are effectively no borders so the terrorists could obtain their weapons from the country where it is easiest to do so. I’m not sure where that would be: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Rumania, Poland?

You forgot to mention North/South of Ireland, the preferred weapon of the IRA, who I suspect still have a few knocking about.

There have been no reports of Kalashnikovs being seized in Britain, and while publicising such seizures might cause alarm to the unwary and possibly give succor to IS supporters it would be an ideal opportunity to demonstrate that the security services are on the ball.

I will sleep better knowing that we have not seized any weapons LOL, does that mean there are no weapons of that type here or just that the security services have not got a clue where they are, I think the latter.

Remember this from Sept.

No but I bet most of them can strip an AK-47 and put it back together again in under 40 seconds.

You have no idea how angry that bigoted and wholly unfair suggestion makes me.
It takes a special kind of stupid to think that ISIS couldn’t come up with a more effective way of infiltrating the UK than one that risks losing a good proportion of their jihadi enroute.

That’s because you don’t live in the real world and can not see what’s going on around you. We are slowly being invaded, it’s not those ISIS scum in Syria that we need to take on now, it’s the ones that are here and armed with automatic weapons.

I always wondered what happened to this Gannet XL502, Mildenhall?

A nice set of pics, had a meal in the Dickens Inn last year, no different price wise than other pubs in London. 🙂

You mean like 1917 and 1941? 🙂

Aside from those two events…I’m not sure that is an argument an Englishman should make given the country’s colonial/imperialist history. 🙂

What a crass statement, seeing as the whole of Europe and a large part of the world are today remembering the fallen from those two conflicts, one of which you would not have took part in but for Japan.

Its pie in the sky! A new build facility to house a Vulcan on the basis of using it for education and training is unsustainable. Anyone who has the slightest interest in a career in aviation can go a few miles down the road to Humberside and learn on Hawks and Dominie . Coupled with that they have meaningful prospects .

Spot on, I give 12-18 months and the new Building will be used for something else. At the end of the day it’s just another Vulcan. I would like to see 607 dismantled and saved before we waste money on keeping 558 under cover.

[QUOTE=Hurn;226731 They left Bruntingthope in the first place for various reasons and could Elvington have provided a hangar for them to work from? The ‘people’ at those places weren’t qualified to maintain the aircraft in airworthy condition either, so that was a non starter.[/QUOTE]

But at the end of this month it won’t be in airworthy condition will it, The “people” at Doncaster are qualified to maintain it and I bet some have cars to get them to Elvington or are they under house arrest at Donny 🙂 lets face it it’s just going to be another Vulcan in a museum, do people think that this Academy project will take off, because I don’t and then it will just be taking up hangar space and end up going the scrap yard.
