Be interesting to see how this affects Rafale. Dassault struggling to sort the hugely reduced India order due, I’m led to believe by offset issues. And if Typhoon is allegedly gen 4.5, what can...

Thoughts

I was lucky enough to have this outstanding engineer work for me back in Coltishall days. A lovely bloke, great company, professional and no doubt a dreadful loss to his current unit. Per Ardua Jon.

TGV

Train was a prototype TGV that derailed. 7 dead and 7 injured. Coach fell off bridge into river. Too high a speed is being quoted by local officials. Unlikely to be connected to the Paris tragedy.

Afghanistan

I can recommend Ben Anderson's tome "No Worse Enemy" ISBN 1851688528, try and read it with Ledwidge's "Losing Small Wars" for a pretty demoralising view of campaign progress in Helmand.
