    Good thread mate, I know I have heaps but here’s a start:

    Australia’s defunct OPV which were going to produce with Malaysia. It still might have a come back especially if Beazley gets in.

    I am still looking for the proposed DDG replacement that had two 5″ guns up front on either side of the deck, if anyone else has it could they please post it!

    Shall we take bets as to who will win?

    I’m giving 2:1 on the Spanish ship being the favourite and 5:1 on the French design

    At the time of conception China was at odds with Australia and Korean officials were under investigation over corruption charges. The Government felt that rather than open the competition to these countries and in turn become caught up in some scandle that had nothing to do with us, we would not offer the tender at all to those countries. Basically it was a self protection method for us, besides, China is a political hot spot for most governments these days, for one reason or another.

    The B-52 also has a toilet of some sort, well I know it’s a hose that leads to a waste storage somewhere.

    Didn’t the big British bomber used to have one on thiers?

    What I would like to see is the bladder set up in the flight suits for those pilots in smaller planes like Hornets, that are going on long flights, I’d like to see how they work.

    Oh and Sean, I too would like to hear that convo mate, any chance of you digging it up?

    Thanks for the comment, but not always a “battered skin” is synonimus of out of duty. Take a look at the ukranian ΒΏcorroed? Haze in flight.

    Point taken but still, look at the rust in the cover plates, they are clear signs of them both being in open storage!

    Nice find mate, but those are most definately in open storage, look at the rust around the covers to the jets and the outlets. Also a clear sign is gunk build up on the windscreens. Still a very nice find.
