I have been reading this VERY long but entertaining thread with interest. Instead of having a pop at Alphaleader about what he is saying about various bits of kit, just think about venting your anger in other directions. At the end of the day most of us are on the same side.
The Nimrod guys are understandably getting wound up about comments here, but don't forget the order for MRA4 has been cut, and the worry must surely be, when all the signals from the MoD have been that the ASW threat is not to be worried about (eg cut in SSN nos. etc, oh and more frigate and destroyer cuts to come post CSR)(oh and the ASuW threat too, let's just take that Exocet off Sheffield shall we?), that even more cuts or a binning is in order.
Now THAT's what you should be getting mad about!
