I wish I hadn't bothered ...
or
read what I actually said ...
I am not confused between nuclear weapons and ye olde depth charges - only 'NR' mentioned his role in history re Air Dropped Depth Charges shortly after a quote which mentioned Nuclear weapons, not much of a link but I mistakenly made it and responded. Then I said I should have read it twice.
Nimbev is correct - the Nimrod was not Cleared to carry Stonefish - however Stonefish was available (along with other weapons) to be cleared and then used should that have been necessary - like bleedin' Sidewinders!
Does this always result in thread drift?
What of the future - and the Urgent Requirement?
My open question remains ...
what type of weapons do we imagine a future UK Maritime Reconnaissance Aircraft will need to carry?
