Very interesting – The Beaufighter RD463 lost in the fiord along with her crew would be a good recovery to give her crew a proper burial.

Isnt it a disgrace that tracing the crash site and the recovery of the crew’s remains will prob be down to private individuals rather than the UK government?

The current and previous Governments should hang their heads in shame !

😡

You mean the belief or idea that it is OK to underfund and ruin excellent U.K. military forces? I agree. It has been going on for years, and not much has been able to stop it.

No that is not what i meant..

Why is it that ” Civilised ” civilisations cannot get it into their mind set that you cant defeat an idea or a belief?

The Vietcong

The Palestinians

The ANC

The Milorg

Cant they learn from history?

Amongst many many others their belief in what they fought for lived/lives on despite , in most of these cases ,the attention of some of the strongest Military powers in the world.

and still the UK goes on skipping along at the end of GW’s leash……

and it gets worse………….Newsnight BBC2 25/10/06

fascinating report from David Loyn on the REAL situation in Afganistan….

Afgan Army taking “tolls ” to allow traffic to pass..

Taliban destroying supply convoys at will…

Taliban in real control…

Women and children killed by NATO forces….

Its on now if you want to see for yourself…

At last someone in the US admin has woken up to their errors…Arrogance and stupidity? mild words for what they have done…

Can the same be said for the UK’s involvement in this ” War on Terror ” ?

Have had severe problems for the last 3 months getting Flypast, none of the Easons shops seem to be stocking it anymore, and the same goes for many of the smaller “local ” newsagents .When i asked what was happening i was told Distributor problems (?) and outside their control!

As someone who travels a lot i have tried many different shops , without luck,as i dont like having to depend on subscriptions that i cannot get to for maybe 2 weeks after delivery.

PS.Depending on your location either Easons Newry ( loads of cheap booze as well! ) or Easons Limerick seem to be the only likely spots these days!

I don’t know…we’ve been on the ground in Korea since 1950, dealing with the communist regime as it developed and became what it is today. I’d assume we’re pretty well keyed in to what’s going on with nK.

Keyed in yes, but i think you will find that GW , his cohorts and their bull in a china ( no pun intended! ) shop mentality when it comes to diplomacy has been the cause of a fair bit of the escalation .

NK are and have been sitting there waiting for GW to come calling…hardly any wonder they are looking at the ultimate deterrence.

Sounds fascinating, I presume that the author is Major General Thompson?

Have read his book on the history of the Royal Marines which was a brilliant read.
