    Hey Guys and Girls,
    With all these pics of lightnings I was wondering, were there any ever deployed to the Falklands or Malta? I remember seeing one many years ago with a red cross on a white circle.

    Also I asked a question sometime ago on AFM but it was at the end of a thread and I think people missed it. Apart from the Jaguar, Lightning and Sea Vixen, were there any other a/c that had hard points above the wings?

    Ja

    That’s the one, great little plane and now starting to prove itself in the world, orders are streaming in and GA are having to expand just to meet the orders.

    Their little factory is now capable of chruning out upto 200 of these little beasts a year, which is far better than when they first started out with only 60 per year.

    I can’t wait to see the new versions of this that they are working on, apparently they are planing on a TP version and a 12 seater. Though the latest thing is an under belly storage compartment lik those found on the Caravan II and An-28, this would be a good move since the rear storage compartment is, IMHO, just a little too small.

    Steve: you may have posted the story a couple of weeks ago mate, but the authority was only granted last week, what you may have posted was the story about the application for VBB to carry out these flights.

    Still I could be wrong, but the grant was only given last week, and that’s why I posted it!

    Mongu: Great to see you again, still here, What do youu mean 68%?

    I guess the mystery will live on just like most of what happens in China.

    I didn’t know that the Mings had AIP capability, if so a good question would be, when did they get this? A better question would be, how did they fit it to a sub as old as this?

    Just to clarify my sentiment guys…
    I don’t like SRB, I have no problem with VA coming to OZ nor the other side of its service which I heard about Virgin Pacific.

    I agree about the cheaper prices and the competition but I just don’t like him!!!

    He was one of the people that could have saved Ansett, but refused and now, We down here have to pay through the nose for flights out of any airport due to the stupid Ansett Levy. He had a chance to help not only a top notch airline, but also everyday people, right from the young people in the maintenence sheds, all the way down to the person going on holidays.

    That’s why I don’t like him or his empire!

    p.s. Bring back Lufthansa!!!

    So which is better? The B717, the F-100 or the Tu-334?
    Chew on that one for a while 😉

    Neural net interfaces, Bio-organic terchnology and data crystals may have seemed something out of sci-fi series of not long ago, but all to often these days what is science fiction soon becomes science fact.

    Becareful about what you wish for, soon it may come true. Don’t forget about the down side of all of this, machines that will soon run man, not man run machines!

    Well well well, happy birthday mate!
    Haven’t heard from in in a while, I suppose that’s what I get for not hanging around here as much.
    I’ll have a drink for you!

    I read today in the Sydney Chinese Times (05/05/03) that a fracture in the hull caused the loss of the boat, it was reported that it was at a depth of 180 meters down and never came back up.

    1. I didn’t know that the Ming’s nor the Romeo’s were rated for such a depth, being single hulled the deepest they’d go would be max of 150 meters (Same as what we did on the old O Boats). Sure we could go as deep as 210 meters but no commander in his right mind would go beyond 10 meters of recommended safe level!

    2. Yes they did had trainees aboard, infact they had 45 trainees on strength. This would fit in with the PLAN’s fast aqusition of more Kilo’s. They were using the old boat to give the new trainees experience in under water opps. The boat had a skeleton crew and the rest were all trainees of all departments.

    3. What I’d like to know is What is the reported depth of those islands compared to the actual depth?
