Re: Reaction Engines Ltd. Skylon (Reusable Spaceplane)

There was an excellent multi-page article on the SABRE development project in last weeks Flight International...It's looking very promising.

And the Americans, Japanese and potentially others... ..The Americans probably won't even allow their 6th Gen plane to be sold to other countries, like the F22. The Japanese have no export presence and their fighter will be tailored to their exact Pacific theatre requirements, which may well not be...

Re: Future UK Combat Aircraft (Project Tempest)

Short of a total economic collapse in the next few years, I really can't see this project not going forward after 2025, to full production. There is just no way that this country will leave the projected $250-$300bn export market for 6th Gen Fighters, to the French & Germans. That is just not go...

Paris.

Although its 'official' population is only something like 2.6m due to the way they classify city boundaries, in reality its similar to London's near 9m figure.

Re: Brexit - The UK's EU Referendum & Withdrawal

There will be more grey spots on the map within the decade. Once France & Germany start to throw their weight around, without the British to counter-balance, countries will quickly tire of being railroaded into policies only designed to suit Paris & Berlin and their protected economic intere...

I love the smell of Scottish Separtist baiting in the afternoon. Absolutely right, no point whatsoever in appeasing that mob, when they will only ever accept one result.
