Silly Question.

It’s 2019 and the Scott’s have voted for independence.

The Royal Navy have/are moving South. The CVF’s will stay with the RN.

Now is there yards in England, Wales or N Ireland.
That A can carry on with the upgrades, to the second boat that get’s cat n traps.
And B do any refit’s that will be needed, over time?

[QUOTE=imperialman;1779438]I’m not very clued up about the organisation or set up on Ascension Island but isn’t Wideawake Airfield a British facility, RAF Ascension Island? I thought the base came under the jurisdiction of the UK? On what grounds could the US object to the use of the island?
[QUOTE]

At the time the RAF had no one staioned at the base apart from the CO. The USAF at the time put problems in the way of the RAF flying into the airfield. It took a call from Maggie to Ron for the problems to be sorted out;)

Iran isn’t aligned politically with China.

Some Political Correspondents might not agree with that, with others saying it is just a matter of time before it happens.

Dave

I think that any Egyptian government is as likely to close the canal as any Iranian government is to close all its oil wells.

But then the New Goverment might go the way of Iran, and align itself politically with China. Which could see a Navy Base that is in NATO’s back yard. So to speak.

Dave

Don’t just blame this Government.

You might be right, if the Sunday Time’s story is true.

Dave

Where is all the money coming from to buy all them NH-90’s. Same can be asked of the extra A 330’s.

And as to FSTA, dont you think that the goverment has tried to do that?
But was unable to do so.

Dave

Thanks
