Bluewotsit,

Pardon my spelling, in a hurry!

"No air threat to the UK" That's what I said 'cos there aint one!!

If you think there is, pray tell from whom? Who the hell is threatening us?

I still maintain that you can have as many AD roled squadrons as you like and you will not defend London from a determined hijacking attack. How the hell could the RAF do anything about it? If you get to the airliner before it hits what the hell do you do, shoot it down in flames? The result would be a large fire ball on central London, you'd merely have a catastrophe half a mile from where it was intended.

Of COURSE my comment about throbbing tandem rotor jobbies was tongue in cheek, how else does one refer to them?
