Now THAT’s a policy I can get behind!

Remind us where PCP is manufactured? You can’t even sort out problems in your own back yard SOC. I’m sure you must be a free-market capitalist: the demand comes from your neighbors, why blame the supplier for meeting their needs?

I can see your uncle’s point. If I had to watch a football match I’d probably knock back a few in the interval too.

You obviously have far more exciting and important things to do with your valuable time. Like racking-up 5,600 posts on here :rolleyes:

George Best said himself that he only wanted to be remembered as a footballer, which is obviously an enduring legacy that only a minority posting in this thread fully appreciate.

When the time comes to shuffle off this mortal coil, I’ll be at the bar with Ren, George and the former Miss Worlds. I doubt we’ll even notice the charmless curmudgeons nursing their pint of mild and six straws in the corner.

R.I.P. the Belfast Boy

“The German fighter pilots them self reccon they lost more than 650 aircraft to the AdA during the invasion of France..”

Yeah. The might of the AdlA had the Luftwaffe quaking in its boots.

The AdlA outclassed the Luftwaffe and had nothing to do with the humiliatingly rapid collapse.

Whereas the RAF were viewed as being such an easy obstacle that the Germans didn’t try (and fail) to win air superiority before attempting an invasion.

Stop it Fonk, it hurts to laugh this much!

Yes, the same AdA that went to Uncle Sam for the 15yrs after WWII on their knees with a huge begging bowl for each and every military/Marshall aid program handout they could get!

Where would the AdA and industry be today without the 1000s of freebie F-84s, T-33s, F-100s, P-2Vs, C-47s, T-6s, L-18s, F4Us, TBMs, F6Fs and, yes, even Vampires we wonder! Quelle d’image!!

Did Clot Fonky even know that all AdA Ouragons and Mystere IVAs were bought and paid for by Uncle Sam via OSP?? The sheer embarrassment of it!
:diablo:

You’re not good enough yet to show this sort of familiarity, so before playing mind games try to start by spelling my callname properly and do your home work….

Awwww don’t get in such a funk Fonky. If you showed respect you would get some in return.

My homework was already done on this subject. You should thank Kovy and Scorpion for helping you at least get an E grade in Rafale deliveries :p

That’s you mate, trying to keep Eurofighter PR and myth alive…

Simply stating facts, nothing more and nothing less.

Good post

Welcome Scorpion82.

I try ever to be objective, but in this thread I see a lot of people are pro Rafale or Eurofighter only, often don’t knowing enough about both fighters to judge. But prejudices don’t help anyone.

Please do not mistake people busting myths and PR BS as being prejudiced.

the first Rafale B F2 were delivered to the AdA in late december 2004.

Come in Fonky, are you reading this?

i have some explainations as to why the “missing” aren’t dispatched to CEAM yet .

Forget your smoke and mirrors: only B307 has even flown

Huh ? I wrote :

the Mirages downed in conflicts were not drones… That’s why Fonk has answered what he answered.

C’était une métaphore :rolleyes:

So many words, so much hot air, so little substance

Anyway, is this noise just to play the famous “mine’s biger than yours” and “we got more than you do game”?

the whole point of this thread…..read the BS ad in post 1 again

Sorry mate, you are loosing track of two at least not to mention those built and not yet delivered. Or delivered elsewhere….

Now who is being over-familiar?

You prove in two sentences how little you really know beyond the official websites and that you dont even check sources available to anyone with a real thirst for knowledge.

Read the Fox 3 pdf again and then your other posting on deliveries

By early June 2005, six Rafales will have been delivered to the CEAM and this number will grow to fourteen by the end of the year.

Now you tell us which is correct and which is wrong. I already know.
