They should look at the idea of the F-35D I like it

I would like to know where HMS Ocean is at the moment. I wouldnt mind seeing her out there – especially with 3 or 4 Apache – I know I know they might become targets for others, but they would provide great help for those SAR copters.

BAE are really trying to make sure that the fact that the French offering is both land and Sea Based doesnt lose them the contract.

Otherwise there are no customers for this jet.

The airbases arent that close and arent that great.

You have Ark Royal off the coast with the GR9’s with Sniper Pod, you have the ability to be making sure that Benghazi aint being hit by artilery.

RAF tornadoes fly from Cyprus – 700 miles there and 700 back. You need to re arm to have fighters ready to respond to tanks driving what 30-40 miles you need some good loiter time and no 700 miles to cover to get to the mission zone.

I would rather have The Harriers.

Admiral Gorshkov – I really want to see some updated pictures of her – any one got a recent picture link?

what do you think the chances are we will be allowed to purchase the X-47B Pegasus and do you think we would for the CVF?

They will have learnt alot already from Brazil, don’t be surprised if the next carrier has cats and traps these guys learn fast.
