Hi All,
The excuse used was WMD initially and that we would help them achieve democracy and judging by the on going fighting between the different sects in both country’s we have not achieved this. In all the wars the British have fought in Iraq on the following occasions with varied success and reasons for doing so.
Mesopotamian campaign (1914–1918)
Anglo-Iraqi War (1941)
Gulf War (1990-1991)
Iraqi no-fly zones conflict (1991–2003)
Iraq War (2003–2011)
The same can be said of Afghanistan for the same above so we have had a varied series of campaigns and history of resentment that has built up in both country’s for generations,what surprised me were the amount of other country’s who have also fought in both country’s so it seems that for what ever reason Afghanistan is prime territory from the first to the present and will presumably be in the future.
First Anglo-Afghan War (1839–1842)
Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878–1881)
Third Anglo-Afghan War (1919)
War in Afghanistan (2001–present) – ISAF/NATO involvement

Hi All,
I would rather see the Vulcan displaying a mundane routine than thrown all over the sky as for one thing this would prolong the flying career that XH558 has left yes it looks and sounds great but unless they are secretly planning to extend the flying passed 2015 why not accept the Vulcan for what it is the last flying example.
Just a quick question if they are in the throws of enhancing the flying life for a couple of years would it cost much more to extend that say for another ten years or so and is this a cost or a physical impossibility ?
Hi All,
Bob,DCW & Duxman, Many thanks’ for all the pic’s especially the Blenheim looking good nice to have an Idea of the final colours but looks like well on the path to flying again congratulations to all involved in this truly momentous venture :eagerness:
Chad Veich,
Many thanks for the vids,Never forget seeing a Gannet being jump started by a Hercules prop wash at a Coventry air display a few years ago but glad to see one back in the air.
Hi All,
Setting aside the religious overtones with the problem could the continued violence /trouble be that those who were involved way back have had all the power taken away and just like nothing better than to appear to be in charge by giving orders on both sides still recruiting with bullsh*t from way back when ?
Geoff.
