Thanks Barny, good job but I was just a twinkly but would have been off if I could.

I still do not understand why we think we can even begin to afford this lot? We can’t even afford simulation for in-service helicopters and I had heard they were important !!!

If you were in the sub, where the hell do you think you could get off it if you fired one of these - it would be the biggest nuke ping-pong match since 1956 - apparently? To expensive – some one has to make the 1st (well second if you count the Ukraine!!) move – let it be us (we could sell them and pay off the national debt?)
