If this thread was 'F3 best air superiority fighter in the world' then I might understand the responses. However, Beagle started a thread about a book that's been published to mark the aircraft going out of service.
At the end of the day, whatever your views on the platform a lot of good blokes (colleagues of most of us on here) dedicated many years (and, as always, their lives in some cases) to making the best use of poor procurement by MOD.
Maybe if you don't have a positive input to make you should show a little respect and leave this thread to those who do.
