Many thanks for the correct info on the Ark saga, there's nothing quite like having a mixture of historical fact from multiple origins, mixed with a layer of wikipedia style 'facts' and then twisted around reality - whew!! I don't think I could say that twice, let alone think it!!.
Now what about a few hooked Warthogs for specialist anti-pirate operations, to convert/remodel their shipborne and SUV assets, or would that be cruel?
And talking about the 'Ruffle', yes it may be flying off the odd ship, but while its bad enough agreeing to share our potential major navy asset if the Ruffle one breaks down, granted we are allowed to keep it, we cannot agree to also being restrained to buying an EU produced aircraft. Think what that would do to the special relationship that Bliar put together with the US of A and that which we enjoy with the F35, whatever would they think of us, they might never trust us again or offer us new such opportunities.
