Favorite 5 Aircraft- All Eras Allowed.

[trackend]

Being a nightfighter thats quite relevant, as carrots make you see in the dark.

A friend of mine who retired from the CAA a few years ago met
Cats Eyes Cunningham on a couple of occasions and said he found him a really nice fella. although it obviously was Radar that gave him his reputation not carrots.

I can just imagine it now

"Listen lads, we're a bit short on resources at the moment so we've done away with your radar and put 2 sacks of carrots in its place"

That sounds very much like the kind of solution that would occur in the present day air force of a certain country, that shall remain nameless. :-"





Hint: I live there.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Taiwan?

 

[Nonskimmer]

Close.

[the lancaster kicks ass]

Tiwan's far more advanced than the place he's on about.............

 

[cheddar cheese]

Is he on about Britain then?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

dude we have some of the most advanced equiptment in the world.........

 

[cheddar cheese]

Ever seen the mining regions of Yorkshire?

I rest my case

 

[plan_D]

Have YOU ever seen Yorkshire?

 

[cheddar cheese]

No

Im stereotyping

(And also casting my mind back to a previous episode of Top Gear)

 

[mosquitoman]

Most advanced equipment in the world. An infantry rifle that can't be used left-handed, helicopters that can't fly in the rain and aircraft carriers that are smaller than the spanish aircraft carriers. Very advanced I'd say

 

[plan_D]

SA-80s are crap, however come 2006 Britain will be equipped with H&K G36s.

Which Helicopters are these? The Chinooks? That's not a knock on the technology, that's a knock on the governments tight fist.

The aircraft carriers don't need to be big, we have HARRIERS.

Well, CC, I'd advise you to go to Yorkshire it may come as a surprise that we're not all stupid and toothless as Clarkson tries to portray. Although, I do give him credit that most of Doncaster is stupid and toothless...he's from Doncaster as well..

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yeah, his whole families from Doncaster Did you what the family tree program he was in?

 

[plan_D]

No I didn't. I just know he's from Tickhill, a village a few miles from mine.

 

[cheddar cheese]

To be honest id love to go to Yorkshire, the scenery looks great.

 

[plan_D]

Halifax is probably the best place. South Yorkshire are all heroin addicts and stupid ex-miners and the majority of West Yorkshire is full of illegals.

 

[mosquitoman]

For scenery AND nightlife, you need to come to Sheffield, you're either walking up or down and there's loads of clubs including the biggest rock club in Britain

 

[Napier Sabre]

Nah, Leeds anyday.
