To be honest, Teeteringhead, it's hard to see what else we can do. In an air force the size of ours, we'll never use front-line types and the new trainers will either be props or have too much kit in them, which would be a waste.

teetering head,
"well there ain't nothing British no more"
What? Apart from the obvious and rather silly double negative this giving the exact opposite meaning to that which I am sure you intended, what on earth does a comment like that actually mean?
So you think there is nothing British any more? Sometimes I wonder what planet some of you people actually occupy...

M2 - get used to it, you may need to calculate your pay in the currency one day. The easy short cut is 'alt gr 4' (the alt gr key is just to the right of the space ba,r and a 4 from the top row please...) €

Irony - like brassy, only made of iron not brass (with apologies to Baldrick).
What one was attempting to convey was the fact that a wholly UK manufactured aircraft suitable for military formation flying (and with possible export sales potential) would seem unlikely to be available and/or affordable within foreseeable timescales.
The faux vernacular was meant to inject a little lightness, and hardly deserves the ad hominem attack.
Hopefully (more humour - I am aware that the adjectival use is a solecism) my use of three languages in this response might just convince you that I do know a double (triple?) negative when I see one, and would not dream of using such a construction other than for comic effect.
You're not American by any chance, are you ??
Or perhaps an ISS tutor? No - then you would have known that "which planet" is correct rather than "what planet".
