    See the news thread, very very sad

    The Jaguar can perform most of that – no one claims that its a true multirole aircraft.

    BTW is self defence a combat mission type?

    No Self-Defence isn’t although they can be used as point defense fighters….

    And lets not forget that the Jaguar was at one point the best dogfighter in the world (I won’t be saying why :P)

    Surely the best Example is the Falklands – A handful of Fighters defeated almost the whole Argentine Air Force!!!!!!

    With no markings my only guess could be a SpecOps practice ready for the Olympics!!!

    Won’t Happen!!!!

    I did my Year 11 Work Experience last year (June-July) with General Dynamics there!!!! TOO MANY CIVIL CONTRACTORS

    The fact that nearly all Bowman (the newest Army Radio System) work is being done there and they won’t even think about moving it, AKA Too difficult, they may however move all the equipment to different locations within the base.

    IIRC Most units are only half full, you could probably couple that with selling of about 1/3 of the base.

    Also NATO doctrine dictates that certain numbers of military equipment should be kept in mothballs, couple that with Allied Rapid Reaction Corps HQ being nearby at Injimin Barracks (Alla Innsworth) and you have a very sensible rapid reaction ability in the case of mobilisation. And also the Hercs practice things at Little Risslington (where I go gliding with cadets – 367 VGS) and this would be a very sensible location to deploy from!!!!!!

    I will eat a hat if any is mounted on CVF! They will replace the Sea Wolf on the T23 and will be fitted on the new T26.

    Why – so you think CVF should only have CIWS

    I guess this is the CAMM Contract for the Navy – It will Replace Sea Wolf and Complement ASTER – I guess some will be mounted on CVF????

    Would the lease back of Harriers be an option, we still have Lusty and the Ark hasn’t yet been scrapped :diablo::dev2:

    I would have gone with the French on making sure Eurofighter was naval!!!!

    Also no scrapping the MRA.4s and CVF should have been CATBAR and STOBAR!!!, two waist cats like the CVNs but a forward Ski-Jump to allow interoprability with Europe….

    QE will be finished to schedule in 2016 it just wont be able to operate fixed wing aircraft unless its converted.

    Looks like we may buy those Harriers back at an inflated price 😛
