  7. wait a minute...

  8. Given the amount of money that's already been invested (we are the 2nd largest investor by far) I hope so as long as it meets the requirements. It's to replace the Harrier in both the Royal Navy & RAF

  10. WOE Flight stick recommendation?

    you ought to be able to programme pretty much everything ingame for WoV, WoE etc. & the ST290 I would think.

  12. Sounds like the Kiwi Sea Sprites work then - the RANs are 6 years behind schedule, way over budget & don't meet their airworthiness standards.
  13. The Royal Australian Navy may have a bone to pick about that description of their Super Seasprites ...
  14. I Passed......

    Congrats, I'm sure that you walked it.
  15. Santa & the 3 Wire

    Culled from comp.sys. ibm.pc.games. flight-sim: `Twas the night before Christmas out here where I am. Not a creature was stirring, not even Saddam. The stockings were hung in the ready room with care, in hopes that care packages soon would be there. The J.O.'s were snuggled in their racks nice and tight, Wishing to sleep until noon with all their might. I closed my eyes & settled down in my rack we had just completed our most recent night trap. When out on the roof we heard such a clatter that we clambered on deck to see what was the matter. Away to the kneeknocker we flew like a flash, I tripped on my flip-flops and opened quite a gash. The moon was as big as my now swollen knee And we squinted against it's glare upon the sea When, what at 3/4s of a mile should appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. The driver called the ball "Santa Ball Ho Ho Ho" We watched and we waited as he got a too little low. We knew in a moment that it must be St. Nick Because none of us could fix a low ball that quick. He planted it nicely on the three wire with care And glanced at the LSO's as if with a dare. With a twinkle in his eye he received his debrief When he heard the words "No Grade" he stood in disbelief. "You don't need to be Santa Clause, for I am he, But don't wait too long for something under your tree. After a pass like that on the eve of Christmas Day You'd think that even Santa might get an OK!" He threw his gift sack on his back, in a huff Saying "I can't believe the Navy puts up with this stuff." He mellowed a bit as he got down below And started to chuckle, there was even a glow. From ready room to ready room he went lickity split. Filling our stockings and chatting a bit. Telling us of our families and friends far apart How they were keeping us in prayers and close to their hearts. As his sack began to empty, his work here all done, He bounded to the roof and to Catapult one. He rogered the weight board and readied his sleigh, With a push of the button he'd soon be on his way. "Now, DASHER! now, DANCER! now, PRANCER and VIXEN! On, COMET! on CUPID! on, DONDER and BLITZEN! Pay attention to what you're doing, this is no time to forget, If things don't go perfect, we ALL end up wet! A salute to the Officer, who then touched the deck. We watched Santa's head nearly snap off his neck. But we heard him exclaim as he rose out of sight "I AM GLAD I DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY NIGHT." We thought we had seen the last of the old guy Until the Boss said "Clear him for one more fly by." He came from bow to stern, an impressive sight Yelling "MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."

  18. Unfortunately the pilot Capitaine Emmanuel Moriuser didn't make it http://www.ec17provence.org/moriuser.html
  19. I think that you'll find that the RN with hindsight may say that's not a good idea .... What would be interesting would be if India was to team up with France & the UK on their carrier programme.
  20. I don't know about the reconnecting with NATO bit as French military aircraft are regular visitors to the UK & very often tank from RAF aircraft too. Still it's good that the Marine get to keep their carquals whilst they don't have an operational carrier.
  21. that's actually realistic - if you look at real in-cockpit footage you'll see that the planes do move relative to each other even if they look stable from the ground. What I do find minorly annoying is the amplitude on some & the regularity - it should be uneven.
  22. even MS Paint can convert BMP to jpeg & resize.
  23. A MASSIVE complaint about something...

    You do realise that he's Australian & you've called him a limey ... people have died for less I don't think that Brits in general have an aversion to peanut butter (had some myself yesterday) just that we aren't brought up with it as Americans are.
