Thanks, parkitup has the gist of where I'm coming from. Leon J - I suggest that a 9/11 type threat is far less likely to come in via the trans-Atlantic routes (if it did we'd have more than enough...

AI23 radar dish

The dish was in reality two parabolic reflectors joined along the vertical edge. It was a V clever arrangement; with the four-horn feed (split two to each half of the reflector) it transmitted (at...

Angry Defence Review

The tragedy about the current situation is that any government's top priority - Defence of the Realm - has become an 'also ran'. Surely this is the time to correct some of the appalling anomalies...

Oh dear, some people really have missed the point. And there's a lot of duff gen out there too.

One of the important features of Cold War jets is that it gives the younger generations a chance...

Angry Wroughton

Wroughton is, sadly, only a store for the huge collection of items that the Science Museum has accumulated over the years. It simply has no facilities (or staff) to handle large numbers of visitors...

Question Tornado F3 Preservation

Bruntingthorpe's amazing collection of Cold War jets shows the huge amount of interest in preserving iconic aircraft as more than just dead museum pieces. There is hope that a VC10 tanker can join...

Low Lightning

Sorry Argonaut, but Gordon Moulds sowed a bit of confusion with his captions on those pics. The right main gear of XS418 folded when Henry Ploz landed at Stradishall in '68 and he stayed down - went...

Question Coningsby Typhoon Mishap

Those pics indicate some pretty substantial damage to the nose area - buzz is it will never fly again, but on the good side, it will go a little way towards easing the critical spares support...

Low Lightning

Argonautical - I think that pic captioned XS418 is actually XP700 at WTM in 1972. There was another similar accident there in 1971, with ES in XR711, although he didn't get airborne. There was one I...

The rush to close airfields in the south-east (and especially Coltishall and Wattisham) has left the RAF (and HM Government) in something of a pickle. The 9/11 attacks resulted in the RAF having to...

IRAQ or ZIMBABWE
