We really are the bomber nation. The Trident was the Morris Marina of the skies Absolute shite all round The only 'absolute shite' here is the stuff you're posting.

Whatever the case, our aircraft don't seem to have come off too badly when deployed in action all over the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 The amount of expert level knowledge on this site on every topic known to mankind never ceases to astound me.

I was referring to the WW2 Typhoon, Roly Beamont developed it into a ground attack as it wasn't much cop as a fighter. I don't know much about the current RAF Typhoon (believe it or not) PS: Roly Beamont became the chief test pilot at BAC and flew the Canberra (a good aeroplane) and the TSR2 (shite), I used to have a part ownership share in what was his personal aeroplane... it was hand built by the apprentices at Warton in 1968.

On here people seem to have strong views in support of one side or another so you disagreements. On the football side you would think people would be aligned, but you get pricks saying we need to change when had taken 26 points from 10 games.

Yes, but if we had changed, then we would have got 30 points from 10 games and ended up as Champions 😉 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. New one is awesome. Stood on the sand at Southport as one flew over. The vibration started a tiny amount of liquefaction and my shoes sunk in a few mm.

I always thought of Trump as a cult and the current Tories have modelled themselves on his media savvy presentation... I recall Cummings was whinging last week about how the PM was obsessing about his coverage, although he and Campbell started it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were bemoaning the fact that the hospital no longer had an A&E so they said it was about time the Tories had a go. Fuckwits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never like Boris but people who dismiss as thick I think have it wrong. It will be interesting in the coming months of his time in charge if he follows the model of the vaccine and roll out . Appoint non political experts to do the job for you and take the credit. (That is not a criticism btw all the best leaders I have worked for have got great teams around them and let them get on with it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
