You forgot the mirror landing system, the angled flight deck and parliamentary democracy, Mr Draper. Not so sure about the light bulb...

What happened to all your catapults?? The yanks, the commies and even the frogs still use 'em.... :{
The cuddins are the carrier kings and all yours are only for junk-jets now.
and the Jet Engine,
Apparently Dr. F. Stolze designed the first true gas turbine engine... (http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blenginegasturbine.htm) even the Greeks were onto it years earlier when you lot were swinging in the trees. No points for taking someone else's idea and putting it into a mota-plane and saying you thunk it up.
Apparently the light bulb is being blamed for global warming and phased out all over the word in favour of something more green and less unsavoury... :rolleyes:

Those new efficient light bulbs, the one's that contain mercury. Now that's what I call environmentally friendly!

A failure of the British Govt yet again that the Sceptics took advantage of (VTOL also I think re Harrier and its developments)....
