So in harsh reality - why would you bother?
. Well strangely enough, the 50-odd aircraft and 50-odd ships currently searching for a 777 would suggest that you would bother. Only right now the UK wouldn't bother as we don't have a capability to do so. I think LJ must have been on something stronger than ale whilst watching the 6N
Exactly. And my whole point of starting this thread. Britain will look a right bunch of dickheads if we got ourselves into this scenario. People DO and ARE bothered and it won't be solved by a Typhoon pilot fannying around in fantasyland at 30W at 200'. We all know you can fly at low level and see bad guys at meninge miles but this is about a methodical, long and laborious task that at the moment, has been going on for over a week.
And i wouldn't be the man i am today without all those pies...
