Isn't it a new bullet design (not the one in the SPC)?

To be honest, from the small bits I've seen online, I think 556 and 762 will still be standard for a long time to come.

So does that turn it into a mini JSTARS? It was actually Boeings proposal to replace JSTARS in the US (last I heard the USAF now want to use satellite's). ...together with the possible E-7 buy could give us a ISTAR fleet with a basically common airframe down the line. That has been one of the argum...

In standard trim there shouldn't be any major need to operate overland.
But that goes well out of the window if they get any of Raytheon's Advanced Airborne Sensor (AAS) radar.

Isn't Martin Baker still using a Meteor for ejection seat testing?

I thought the Yanks wanted a design that was already in the water (and proven)? Why the change?

Not that I wouldn't want t26 to win this...

I'll put this here (because I'm not really sure where to put it )
Not suited to a CR2 upgrade, but looking to the future - a CR2 replacement...

Guess they really miss their F-111's burning their dumped fuel...

Is it slightly concerning that both upgrade teams are now working as one... Or do I need to take my tin foil hat off

I know he can be a stubborn old goat, but why is he still driving at 97 (and yes, if I ever get that far, I hope everything still works enough to try it )

EDIT:
If he gets to 100 does he get a telegram from the Queen?

Also in the Express (other news outlets are available )

To be fair to Gavin he did want to send a T45 down there, but was talked out of it (should have done it anyway )

Think that you'll be left a little bit disappointed come the day...

As has been said before, AW139 or 149 would have been a better option for AAC.

Maybe even NH90 (still probably an option to replace Puma if the bugs get fixed).

Are AgustaWestland (sorry but Leonardo is a silly name) doing anything for Merlin/Puma replacement? Haven't heard anything - or from Airbus... Would think we'd have to get in with the Septic's otherwise. Plus, I always thought that if Sikorsky did an ASW version of the S-97 Raider, that would kill W...

Preferred the original Sikorsky-Boeing concept, it was aw139/189 sized. The SB1 is bloody massive for what it carries.

Is the US Army pushing for a new high-powered 6.Xmm caliber with their new NGSAR program?

Or build a third QE, then buy all the Dave B's we said we would (and give them all to the FAA), buy 2 LHD's to replace Ocean. Build a decent number of t26's, some more t45's and make the t31 what it should be... Oh and get some Dave A's to shut the RAF up :D But, May and her useless colleagues have ...

It was a few years ago, but I remember them saying that the African flats were in a better condition than the US one's.

I said before that the Desert Tech MDR (in its early concept guise) could be a good replacement for the SA80, turns out its been modelled on the A1's reliability and build quality



Maybe they need to hand it over to HK to get a version that works

Think they would have been better off with Sparky

That all depends on who comes in as caretaker.

Was winding up the manc's at work telling them that Mark Hughes had been announced

Oh, I completely agree.

… But I'll enjoy it while it lasts

I said to friends before the season started, that it was Cities to lose and my position hasn't changed (even now).

I would just like to thank Jose for his brief spell at United, never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined someone taking such a big club and making them look so... Inept, useless and down right pathetic in such a small space in time. I only wish that his stay could have been longer. Yours Sinc...

A new crane is to be built across 14 & 15 docks at Pompey!

I believe that there is one in Scotland that's for sale, only used to build a couple of things so is like new

I am still worried the Queen Elizabeth is too naked against hostile action. If you are only having Phalanx as the active means of defence fit four and ideally make two Sea RAM. Other nations and commentators cannot understand our way or thinking and how we think our most valuable surface units shou...
