The Tiger 2. Because it was a decade ahead of the rest…

When it was working at all, that is.

They tended to break down rather a lot because the weight of the tank was far more than it’s drive train was designed to cope with.

Not to mention the dodgy steering system.

Great gun and heavy armour, but if a tank can’t move then it becomes a pillbox – and a sitting duck for enemy artillery.

I bet all future new contracts at BA in the future will have a “no union, no strikes” clause!

It would be illegal to impose any such condition, Sandy.

Would you prefer to live in a country where strikes and unions are illegal – like China, perhaps?

In 1982 that nice Mrs Thatcher brought in the Employment Act that set out the legal requirements for striking in support of disputes between employers and their workers concerning working conditions, wages, etc.

The same legislation granted employers to the right to fire striking workers and not face unfair dismissal claims so long as they sack all of the workers involved in the strike at a particular workplace on a particular day.

Oh, and let’s not even begin to try and pretend that BA is an essential service, mate.

Errrm…..

What, exactly, is the OP going on about? :confused:

Would any young person care to translate?

Does anyone seriously believe that Boeing are going to sit on their hands and watch Airbus grab the lion’s share of the 120 seater+ single-aisle market?

No, me neither.

Don’t push your luck, Mr Off Topic! :p

Since tanks have neither wings nor rotors, and cannot fly, they are off-topic for this forum.

Nashio966,

Do not ever use language like that in here again.

It isn’t big, it isn’t clever and it isn’t acceptable.
