If the US (and by the same logic) Japan were not involved in the war then Singapore would not have fallen we would not have had such a concern for resources being expended in Burma and the region. Drawing just on Commonwealth and Allied nation troops a second front could have still been opened, the war in Africa had been largely won and the Italian campaign could still feasibly have occurred.

However as has been said the war would have likely lasted longer but Russia would have been likely to have pushed right up to the French border, if not further and the geographical and political map could be very different today.

If Japan had still worked on their territorial gains to the West then who knows…

Thanks for the heads up, would have missed it otherwise.

Merry Christmas everyone and hope you get everything that you want.

Indeed they look stunning but more photos please.

What aircraft are left from the Falklands war?

Why not get the RNHF flying a SHar, it wouldn’t be the first jet they operate 😀

He took the time to respond to an 8 year old inky. A true gentleman and legend. The world will be a duller place with his absence.

Dear Santa can I please have back the Harrier date plate that was accidentally chucked out about a month ago during a tidy up and was caught up with everything else. Failing that could I have a ride in a T-bird?

Apart from express our support for those who’ve been banned is there anything realistically that can be done over the weekend?

I do not know the full story behind this but infer that the wrong decision has been made, however with everyone out of the office (as has already been pointed out) not much can be done over the weekend.

I was once banned due to a misunderstanding but managed to make my case and the incident was swiftly resolved. This forum is a fantastic resource with a wide range of knowledgeable people who are always willing to provide invaluable help.

The loss of the forum 3 would be a big blow for a number of reasons and I would really hope common sense prevails in the next few days.
