  1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_Skyfox
  2. now seeing a no. of topics - Cockpit Fixes for SF2 etc. :)
  3. typo fixed but still "No topics were found. This is either because there are no topics in this forum, or the topics are older than the current age cut-off."
  4. I've still got a fully functioning 1 as well.
  5. can't see it but possibly typo"Figthers"?
  6. is this the new SST that they just uploaded on the 12th of June or previous?
  7. we even have a hardware forum here at CA. it's not the busiest but it is there :yes:
  8. a pint of "Nukey broon" will do nicely! btw can you still get Newcastle Amber?
  9. welcome to the asylum. :yes: I take it that you have been informed that all new residents have to buy a round for the old hands?
  10. The RAF have a handful of converted Tornado F.3s which supposedly outperform the ECR. EF-18 Growler would have to be up there.
  11. if it's the single platter 320GB then it's a fast drive.
  12. Tell that to RAF Lossiemouth which had large chunks of it's main runway destroyed by 2 Harriers ... the Harrier jet blast is extremely hot & will affect tarmac if directed down.
  13. It took the NC-4 19 days with multiple stops. 1 month later Alcock & Brown flew a converted Vickers Vimy over non-stop in under 17 hours.
  14. if by some kind chance you include me in that I've just had a lot of stuff keeping me busy in the real world over the last few months. hopefully will get back to normal over the Winter - you can't get rid of me that easily! .
  15. absolutely.
  16. Got myself a copy of The First of the Few this week :) A Spit is truly a thing of visual & aural beauty.

    Pure class...

    It's either Newman & Baddiel in Pieces or The Mary Whitehouse Experience
  18. Well, in a country that has relatively little access to guns knives are/were an easily available offensive weapons for the gangs etc. & I say this coming from a city with a reputation for knife attacks (& indeed a German Dr. came over to work in Glasgow hospitals because he had an interest in sword wounds & it turned out that Glasgow is 1 of the world hotspots for those ) However, you also have to factor in the sensationalist press & governments that are more interested in looking good now than actually doing good in the long term. This means kneejerk reactions & hurried, often flawed extra legislation where existing laws if properly enforced were perfectly adequate. Of course the modern PC society in many ways has hindered the police from doing that.

    Thank You MK2

    Thank you, MK2 for your selfless support for fellow simmers by financing CA.
  20. what's the problem? as a test I added 2 Ts to my cart & went through the checkout process & it showed the only carr. option for the UK as $15 & 2-4 weeks.
  21. yes, the 2 on each wing turn opposite dirs. to cancel torque.
  22. normally it would be quite easy for me to find out but 12 Sqn just deployed to the Gulf. think that it was TLP 2007-6 19/11-14/12/2007 Florennes, Belgium
  23. They may not have officially been a member for 40 years but they have been very much aligned. We frequently get French AF & Navy aircraft participating in NATO exercises here.
  24. we've got a no. of major acquisition projects on the go (Typhoon, JSF, Astute class SSNs, 2 new largish carriers etc.) not to mention the costs of all the services having a far larger % of forces actively deployed than normal peacetime operations & all the associated additional costs that go with that. Still, I notice that the article is marked Moscow & yet Russia isn't mentioned despite them seriously cranking up their rearming ...
