And they got rid of the wrong planes too! Oh well, at least there's the anglo-french task force!

Oh… that is so comforting… I’m sure that the anglo-french taskforce will be very useful when/if Europe falls apart.Kaks wrote:And they got rid of the wrong planes too! Oh well, at least there's the anglo-french task force!
I don’t even want to start on the wrong planes issue… mierda!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

The Ark Royal and the Harriers were offered up as Sacred Cows (to justify QE and PoW) they were thought to be untouchable - somebody got it badly wrong.

tell you what tho, i was surprised how small the Harriers seem! I was wandering about imagining Vampires and the like compared to the ship and planes and you actually get a surprise thinking how some fighters actually could be very small and compact, and what it must be like at a Coriolis dock entrance seeing something like a Boa or Anaconda heading for you!
