No Caz,
I am feeling well this morning. I think we can shelve the Fairey Battle debate along with that for the Somme and Waterloo.
The subjects I raised are still very much, I believe in the news.
The army are about to receive vehicles rejected by the US military. OK, they may have been improved since the trial, but why are we not simply buying the vehicles accepted by the US army? They passed the "tests" in the first place.
Probably should be on a different forum, but you can't seem to see an example of MOD incompetence even when it stands up and bites you.
You were very scathing about my lack of helicopter experience. Just what experience do you have?
I was working with the army when the SA80 came into service. All the soldiers I spoke to said it was a great concept but too many things had been attempted and it was far too complex and prone to weather and dirt jamming.
To a man, they would all have preferred to be issued with the same AK47 as the other side.
