I’m with Tree on this one.

The Vulcan is an impressing piece of machinery but the overall conclusion should be: Thank heaven that we don’t live in a world that needs these weapons anymore!

Happy to say

I couldn't believe us retiring the Sea Harriers before any replacement was available so that the fleet has no airborne defence bar surface to air missiles.
However, we do have the Typhoon to counter a threat that no longer exists.
What would we do if Argentina decided it wanted the Falklands after all?
That little excursion to the South Atlantic simply wouldn't be viable.
Black Buck anyone?

You are crazy, disarmament always works. Countries are never attacked when they allow themselves to get weak militarily. The UN will take care of everything.

Now I am off to frolic in a field of flowers .

Last time I checked, the landmass that contains England, Wales and Scotland was still the largest island in the British Isles, so its geographically descriptive name 'Great Britain' still stands

Obama already stated publicly he thinks Argentina deserves the Falklands......

Glad that a great person had some spare Pounds in a sock...

I've seen and heard her at the Volkel airforce airshow. Sad that a lot of other vintage is already lost. Hope to meet up again soon.
