    Hi All,
    bring_it_on – The ‘AEGIS’ system that the ‘USN’ are going to integrate with the ‘F-35’, has there been any conformation 100% that the ‘Russian24’s’ actually compromised the system when they did that low fly by in the black sea a while back as they claimed ?

    If so would is there be a possibility the ‘F-35’ could be compromised also ?

    Hi All,
    For anybody interested Part two of MP’s ‘Dunkirk’ painting enjoy…:cool:

    Question:- Anybody else seem to think the outer edge of the starboard wing droops ever so slightly (Out from the roundel) or does it seem like that because of an optical illusion involving the top of that roundel,the outer gun portal and the wing tip ?

    Hi All,
    What about this then ? :- Did the Battle of Britain begin over Orkney in April, 1940? In the book ‘Luftwaffe Over Scotland’ written by ‘Les Taylor’
    he looks at how the war was fought over ‘Scotland’ on all fronts, I think he raises some interesting points that goes against the established history of
    what happened especially regarding the beginning of the ‘BoB’.

    Hi All,
    mil – Many thanks for the explanation and the links very interesting…:eagerness:

    Another question:- With the ‘US-Army’ looking into basically killing missiles with the F-35, is there now a danger of mission creep ? and would this again increase the price or will it be a ‘US’ only mod ?

    Hi All,
    Silly question time again – If they are having such a bad time in getting ‘558’ under cover is it feasible that the RAF could donate a hanger that would be torn down otherwise when vacating one of the recent bases ? Or is just cheaper to build a new one ?

    Seems such a shame that an aircraft that gave so much in and out of service will be left outside when it should be inside open to all weathers because of poor management of the project indeed the whole hanger issue as Fouga23 suggests unless they can store everything in weather proof protection and at an ex ‘Vulcan’ dispersal……:eek:

    Hi All,
    Just paid my monthly visit to the ‘Mark Postlethwaite’ Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/MarkPostlethwaiteGAvA

    He has been inspired by his involvement in co-writing a book on the subject of the ‘Dunkirk Air Combat’ https://youtu.be/SnbDw2N8svA that he is going to paint a triptych of images relating to it.

    Enjoy…..:cool:

    Hi All,
    ErrolC – Thanks for the video matey I saw that but I thought the initial picture/Video still (05:19 in the video)was about modelling……:stupid::D

    Questions:- Is it simply because the ‘USA’ is easier to reach than the ‘UK’ the engines are overhauled there ? or because it all depends on who can do it quickly and having time ?

    Was the B-25 used as a demonstration of forward firing gun placements or a mistake do you think ?

    Geoff.
