The Red Barrows

It's a six-ship - should appeal to the bean-counters.



.

The TMk1 Barrow has comparable handling I'm told to the Hawk ... it certainly "banks" nicely based on personal hands-on experience ... the barrow that is :}

...I'm not sure they'll go as far a pneumatic Tyres?

The MK1 barrow comes with pneumatic tyres as standard, BAE is looking at upgrading the factory fitted originals with square, wooden ones in a £5Bn modification program.

...and as an inovative reliability improvement rate the tyres will be installed on top of the Barrow. (+£1Bn)

And there is even the Red Marrows

Sadly, this is the result of one of those Gordon Brown unfunded MOD contracts that he encouraged just before he left power. Apparantly he wanted to buy a few Cumbrian votes before the election and read an internal memo that was entitled "Barrow Construction in Warships" that had been produced by a dyslexic civil servant who was working under the "under-achievement in employment" quota scheme as part of Care in the Community.

After test runs the square wheel upgrade was cancelled due to unsatisfactory handling during "Barrow Rolls".

As a result of the barrow rolls handling problems, BAE has produced an innovative solution by reducing the number of angular protuberances to zero and coating the now round wooden wheels with an inflatable rubberised coating.

BAE has also identified that due to a change in the expected interval between major services; at some stage the inner hub may need to be replaced with a more resilient material such as red plastic or metal. These important modifications should not amount to more than £1bn.

A further £1bn is needed to replace the now defunct 'On The Top, undercarriage configuration, with a custom built retractable undercarriage. This of course means that the carrying tray will have to be removed to accommodate the retraction mechanism

Surplus - beadwindow!

I assume that the Barrow test programme will be undertaken at RAF Spadeadam.

Nope, RAF Digby.

P1

i suspect it will suffer due to retrenchment ;)

I also understand that the RAF Top Brass, in addition to looking at the F-35 and Barrow TMK 1 options, have asked if 39 Squadron can simultaneously operate nine Red Reapers out of Creech for next years display season :}

Back to the Barrow's ... Surplus, Rigga ... Surely BAE will need to retro-fit a three colour Smoke Generation System ... that's got to be another £1bn. While they are "at it" ... we better have some Spinning Strakes, anti-collision/nav lights and some form of crew safety egress system :}

Keep it British
 

The F/O has been tasked with identifying Air Forces who already operate Barrow variants so that we can go to war and capture the necessary Aircraft Publications. (cf. Chinook)

Special shelters will also be required for the Barrows - BAe have quoted £ 4 mm per unit

BAE have also taken the TMK1 Barrow concept and developed other variants for the export market ...

Here is the Air Defence Variant seen undertaking a perfect intercept on a member of the Taliban.

Here is the Interdiction Variant ... apparently a lot of interest is being shown from South American Countries.

And finally the Ground Attack "Mud Mover" Variant.

:ok:

Coff.

wow!



I'm really getting excited about the deveopment of the Long-Range Anti-Submarine and Maritime Surveillance version

Looks like a T-53A got through without an End User Certificate... :eek:

The Irish are developing it as a submarine, after the sea trials as a cruiser didn't go so well.

Will they be built in Barrow in Furness?

Tashengurt ... I believe a Furnace is used at some point during construction :}

Has he found the Golden Rivet yet?

BAe are presently bench testing their design

Now a valiant attempt to keep this thread contiguous ....

Also in development is the sledgebarrow, for junior officers

And for those Reds that think a wheel barrow isn't a step up.

Clearly an RAF machine, that one. If it were Navy the monkey would be driving a barrow full of workmen...oops - lumpy jumpers

Introducing the Barrow MR1 (sometime in the '80s)

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/c...tograph_02.jpg

Development problems of this solid and pre industrial revolution design are ongoing despite £40Bn spend to date as the machine's seakeeping abilities in this configuration are less than ideal and the personnel tend to fall out. Another £12Bn is required to invert the design. Unfortunately this will require a complete redesign of the ground mobility system, tenders have been requested for this work and at present no figures are available. However the electronics (Maplin walkie talkie) costing £20Bn have been unexpectedly damaged by salt water in the current configuration and require an upgrade (12Bn) to instal them in ziplock bags which won't be necessary when the invert is completed but no one has thought to cancel the mod.

Weapons suite, the Harpoon AS Mk1 (A Stick) is still years from service and the Barrow MR1 will have to make do with throwing insults (f.o.c.) for the forseeable future. Future plans to provide the stick with a sharpened point (£5Bn) have been rejected by the Government as unnecessary and too costly.

Twenty years and £200Bn later the Barrow MRa Mk4 was rolled out. It was the most advanced and most expensive Barrow of its type in the world. Despite the classification Barrow it was really a dumper truck yet inexplicably made of delicate rubber instead of the more conventional metal which severely limited it's functionality. Its radios were too complex even for the monkeys to understand (see post above) and anyway could not receive Radio 4 on Long Wave due to poorly drafted specs and continuous changes to them during development. It is envisaged that a mid life upgrade will enable parts of a long-cancelled gramophone project to be grafted into the system to regain full functionality (£150Bn). But all radio will be DAB 5 years before that happens and as the contracts are on a cost plus basis it is cheaper and clearly far more sensible just to scrap the whole damn thing and give up boating altogether.

How much to be fitted for, but not with, iPods?

Meanwhile Martin-Raker are ploughing ahead with their new seat design.
