The man who keeps a Harrier in his garden

"You know when your a third rate armed forces when... Some builder from Sommerset has more Naval airpower as an ornament in his back garden than the Royal Navy has."

If someone could also let him have a Nimrod then he could also have more Maritime Patrol aircraft than our third rate air force.

Thank goodness we are not an island nation and we have learnt lessons from our past history! Two very useful aircraft types lost, so much public money wasted and our nation’s long range military maritime capability set back for many years. Well done to all concerned who influenced such very bad decision making along the way.
