Future Carrier (Including Costs)
Thread Starter
Thought Thales were multinational?
Anyhow........I saw something interesting on the Defence Contracts Bulletin, dated 11 August.
Possible Purchase of 2 CVF Ship Design Delta Models
The Future Aircraft Carrier (CVF) IPT has a possible competitive requirement for two high-quality, 1:200 (1400mm) scale models of the current design -....
Final testing before giving construction the go ahead?
LHtoLT as I have said before, see the Sea Jet thread!!
How much longer for main gate?

I hate to sound pessimistic, but as the size of model isn't big enough to do R&P or structural testing with, I can only assume the IPT wants to have something to put in Shabbywood to say "no, really - we have bought two carriers - and here they are!"
Suspicion breeds confidence
Back in the real world.... Much talk of 801 and 800 NAS sharing a pool of just 12 aircraft. A really powerful strike package we are putting together here isn't it? Its enough to make you weep.

Why the multiple
12 Harrier GR9's between two Naval Air squadrons? What, with another two carrier capable RAF GR7/9 squadrons that is terrible compared to the MN equivalent of ONE squadron of less than ten Rafale on a single barely deployabe carrier...................................................
rduarte, you are a complete **** but very funny!

So strange French person, you find the fact that Navaleye states that there is a RUMOUR that half of the carrier capable Harrier squadrons will share the same amount of aircrat as the entire French Navy funny? Why?
Fact is that means it has taken the French an AGE to come up with 12 carrier capable aircraft, I find that a wee bit funnier. While I am a little miffed about the prospect of 800 and 801 NAS only having 12 a/c between them, that IS only half the squadrons and at least the RN/RAF actually USE them, which is more than can be said for the MN and the Rafale!

Do you ,really think ,UK can beat France ?
I don t think so !
And let me tell you,if Argentina had take the Malvinas in 1983 , the GB would not be able to take them back.
And more ,if the US did not help you and France did sell the exocet toArgentina ,you would lose this war .Fair enough ?

For the second time. France and the UK will never go to war, so this debate is pointless and futile.
If Argentina has waited until 1983, then a recovery would have been more difficult, but still possible. Think SSNs.
I see the logic in not having more planes than pilots in a given squadron. Last time I heard there was a core of well over 20 trained pilots at Yeovs. Did some take a wrong turn on the way to Rutland?
