Now they seem to be resurrecting a Vulcan, are we to get a repeat of the 'Cockpit' article of how the crabs won the Falklands war with a single mission? Remember, according to leading academics, the RN won the Battle of Britain......

What an impressive first post.
Are you some kind of love child of the Bearded Bull$hitter?
I have no doubt you would have found some other topic to latch on to to start vitriol between the Services.
Grow up.
If we've got any sense guys, we'll leave this topic alone and let it swiftly descend into obscurity.
Our Forces have enough on their plates [JOINT OPS] without this kind of drivel.

What an amzing sense of timing!
I suspect that you may find that inter-service banter is largely suspended at present hereabouts after yesterdays tragedy.

No mate, yr not quite right there. The RAF won the BofB all right but the RN saved the country from invasion by the Nazis....

Vecs point is valid. The Germans said themselves, that even if they achieved total air superiority, they could not have prevent the Home Fleet interdicting the invasion lanes, thus ending it.
Gosh hasn't it gone quiet here?
Will the last one out turn the lights out - or will Tombstone need them on for his rehearsals?

And Churchill himself said (somewhere!) that he would never have allowed the Home Fleet to expose itself in the narrow seas. He would have withdrawn it to bases in N America to "live to fight another day". :p

A pointless post - for a first time poster. Sorry it had to take so long to bin it.
