UK, French air forces hail success of Capable Eagle
 
As reported in Flight Global (click link for full article etc).


British and French commanders have hailed the success of a bilateral air combat exercise staged from a UK base on 7-17 October for strengthening a so-called “entente cordiale” between the nations’ armed forces.

The exercise, dubbed ‘Capable Eagle’, was run from the Royal Air Force’s Leeming base in North Yorkshire under joint command for the first time. It was intended to replicate the challenges faced by an Anglo-French expeditionary air wing during a real-world operation. The activity formed the aerial component of a wider Joint Warrior exercise, which is now held twice a year.

Excellent. The UK/France thing is going to become very impotant in the years ahead. Of course, we shall need to put the entente aside during the Six Nations.

I dunno about that, Courtney.

We can certainly allow Les Bleus to do as well as last season... any time they want, in fact!

France v Italy = who can run the fastest in reverse gear?

Toadstool 30th Oct 2013 02:50

Yep, the French were certainly running in reverse gear in Libya and Mali and definitely did not take the lead in Europe with regard to pushing for military action in Syria.:rolleyes:

Courtney....impotent or important?

In matters rugby, we can all depend on the French........
All you have todo is get the crowd against them, and they collapse, rightly so.

Well as we don't have an MPA fleet.....:ugh:

Nimbev,

Perhaps I should rephrase that to say UK Mil is working a lot closer with the French MPA fleet - out of necessity!
