RE: Potential Airbus Air Command Vehicle
anything more ?
its very posible. the airbus looks like it could be used for a tanker, and an awacs vareint was offered to turkey and australia. persoanlly the uk gov should go out and buy bulk on airbuses for tankers, a UK JSTARS, awacs and comand. unfrtantely we a are destined to have loads of diffrent planes 🙁

RE: Fighter Command V.C. in World War Two.
in paper today they said they are awarded for a person who had a 90% chance of death, was witnessed by a senior officer and it was exceptional bravery. it was in the telegraph today. they listed the survovrs and all the recent ones were korea and malaya veterns.

RE: Vanishing Ratings
yeh, some one called PAV (aka PAV 79 and profesor 404 or something like them) rated comet with a very rude and insulting coment. the afm crew had a go at him (there is a thread over there about it) and he rated us (afm crew) very badley, so we got the webmaster to sort out the ratings.
