As I can see, a lot of ppruners are hoping that some dirty tricks could still capsize the deal, which is obviously difficult to swallow on one side of the channel.
That is obviously expected.
The famous privateer Surcouf, one's captured by a Royal navy frigate, got this comment from the frigate commander: "you the french, fight only for money. We fight for glory " thus entailing the famous answer: "of course, what would you expect? everybody has been fighting for what he is missing the most"
Yes, a lot of ppruners would expect this forum to remain entirely monocultural, with people exchanging consensual ideas or unilateral jokes. The problem is that my fellow citizens are able to log on pprune and to disturb a little bit the dinner arrangements across some of the forums.

Now tell me more about the navalised-proposed Typhoon : on which sea platform could it be experimented and developped (if it's still technically possible, which is another story) ... HMS Ocean?

See you in 10 years :
