Many thanks WE Branch Fanatic for highlighting the “A tale of two Harriers: How Italy held on to carrier strike” that was recently published in
www.DefenceManagement.com
That type of excellent article usually brings out the typical Pro-RAF - Get rid of the Fleet Air Arm fixed-wing’ gang who do not want the public and press to read such things due to the embarrassing truths contained within it.
As for those who keep on demanding that the thread be killed, if you do not like it then simply do yourself and everyone else a favour and do not visit it anymore.
