  1. Hmmmmm....all I can say is that contracts are not simple and requirements change as does the availabilty of kit and delivery of kit for said requirements....its not like buying 20 kitchens. Then the government trickling the payments or enlongating the contract period doesnt help. Just look at F35 ....some countries..Australia have almost got all their aircraft and they started their procurment after we started...willing to be corrected on that.πŸ˜„ Throws grenade in to room and takes billy big steps away πŸ˜†
  2. It was just an example talking about capability so platforms are fitted for not with but if every platform in the original small fleet of 67 WAH 64D have the radar fitted it gives flexibility but hey I guess when you have hundreds its a mute point anyway cheers ditz
  3. Oh you think so ...cheaper ...better value....hmmm if you want to modify it and it wasnt on the initial contract ....USA will make you pay through the nose.That said aome platforms are jyst to good. All that said having all your eggs in one basket is no good thing either ....a different manufacturer to a single one is also good
  4. About 350 knts over that carpet....(poor imitation of BardufossπŸ‡³πŸ‡΄)
  5. Just a couple of phots of the newish 1/72 Crab.....i.e not senior service πŸ˜‰ Harrier GR1 ...made it in 2019 but wanted to make sure I still knew how to upload phots...seems i've remembered.....sorry about the quality.
  6. You've done a nice job ....I also have an original kit and the SAM magazine article to upgrade it....was that what you used? BZ to you
  7. Guess who still has the licence to build it in the UK....apparently
  8. Having just had a quick look at the the initial newshot requirements doc you referenced ,UK Chinooks and for that matter Merlin have most (if not all) of that kit in some shape or form....its one thing I noitced, we might not have the numbers of platforms in the UK but what we have can do most of the roles ....saw that during op granby ...UK a/c all had GPS ..the Americans didnt and then later on if you look at Apache all our aircraft had Longbow ...not so the Americans and Dutch ..plus arguably better donkeys but that a whole different debate. As for in service support now.....πŸ€”
  9. 15 squadrons 🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣sorry Mr Riot but you need all the support and personnel and money to go with it.....nice dream thought πŸ‘
  10. Still need maintainers,loggies chefs blah blah its not all about the sloppy link in the cockpit πŸ˜†
  11. Hah an ex crab id presume ....from what I hear the amature dramatic force has manpower snags too..manpower in the widest sense. As for ships we need to get some first and the spares to support ........old saying doo-doo in = doo-doo out ....this country needs to actually invest in something 😬
  12. Yeah thats more like it ....more expensive too but hey someone will do well out of it....shush politik.
  13. Where did you read that about the full 100+ purchase of F35.....im not convinced or lets say cynical
  14. Well those a/c are now in service with the licenced software and not some cock up to do with penny pinching ...Im paraphrasing a little. Still 14 new ones interesting since 9 of the originals are being ditched...obviously a bigger picture but that will take the total to over 60 not that you will ever get anything like 60 or even 30 serviceable
