Why are the radars rotating while they are loading ammo/missiles?
Re: Type 45 Destroyer (Daring Class) (RN) [News Only]
Maybe the Primary Radar is not transmitting, and just the SSR operating which is low power. But very good question.Ron5 wrote:Why are the radars rotating while they are loading ammo/missiles?
Re: Type 45 Destroyer (Daring Class) (RN) [News Only]
radar motors are geared to winch ammo aboard...

I figured this was worth sharing: The rare sight of three Type 45's at sea together.

After two years of wear and tear on operations the mighty Defender is getting a new lick of paint. Will be looking as good as new in a matter of days.
Re: Type 45 Destroyer (Daring Class) (RN) [News Only]
Looking at the condition of the paintwork I have enclosed this article that suggests the binders used for the R.A.N are more durable and as the R.N may travel to warmer climates perhaps a change is needed

Is the C17 not getting a fly past from the twin seat "thing" they launched out the back of it.

Even the DB7 seems to have come out of retirement> Lessons learnt: old tech can do the job - depending on what the job is
Ever-lasting truths: Multi-year budgets/ planning by necessity have to address the painful questions; more often than not the Either-Or prevails over Both-And.

Yep, the longer trailer shows a second Aston, DB7 or a DBS/V8 series?

HMS Dauntless (D33) seen in dry dock at Cammell Laird on 21/9/20. No sign of the hull being cut open for diesel generator removal/replacement as yet. Adjacent is RFA Tidesurge (A138) - she has now been moved from the basin into another dry dock.
