Headline from The Times Online:

Miliband will not rule out force as Iran remains defiant

Looks like a job for XH558!!

Now, can all you ex-RAF types check your garages and hangers for any old thousand pound bombs ... and better slap an airworthiness certificate on lusty lindy, while we're at it

Ian

I think I have a couple in the shed Ian

I seem to remember seeing them recently, behind the Trident 1 rudder

Garry

its the resulting secondary explosions when said bombs are dropped on Iranian facilities that concern me......they tend to conver sand to glass very quickly!!!

Glad that someone is pissed at them -- the current administration here seems to be hell bent on appeasing them.

Ooh theres a thought.....I have in my hand a piece of paper.......how ironic....


Leif

Ehh, I think that even though our sitting administration has almost said they won't support an Israeli attack on the facilities, we will probably see a sudden "failure" of the airborne AWACS over Iraq, and several "key" radar sites go offline for maintenance right when the Israelis fly over that area then we'll feign disapproval and maybe "intercept" them on the return flight and ensure they are escorted back into their airspace (oh, and make sure to refuel them so they land safely, can't have them going down in Iraq and creating a major international incident after-all).

Which, would be exactly what happened when they attack the Osirik II reactor in Iraq many years ago.

Oh dear!!


A light-hearted, tongue in cheek thread turning into a high level political soap box..well, it's going that way

Time to chill out methinks

Garry

I was being light hearted....:):)

Leif

So was I. I guess smilies aren't good enough anymore.....

Either way, I think it'll really be a group of 60+ year-old, retired military guys from the 1970's era in a Skyraider, A-26, Lightning, Buccaner, and an A-37 flying from some unnamed airstrip in a small country we've never heard of.

(BTW, if you don't get the reference, search Iron Eagle III).

If dear old DH Lawrence, or is that another one , you know Aircrafstman Shaw (T E Lawrence, that's the blighter, the other wrote smutty filth.......having said that, I have read 'The Mint' and that is not all bedknobs and broomsticks...well some of it is!!!) had not fallen orff his trusty British Classic motorbike, we could have called on him for 'one more desert raid' (mine's a spotted Richard and Custard while you are there matey) to blow up the dasterdly reactor/plant/train/chemists shop or whatever they have or we say/they say they have.

Biggles could fly top cover in a replica Brisfit and drop pork scratchings onto the horrified mullahs below. That would also keep that other troublesome lot at bay too, worth noting as a secret weapon to replace Trident as it is certain that the next enemy will 'have something against pork' and I do not mean apple sauce!! Tally Ho we're off to fight (yet another un-winnable) another war!!!

Have you been into that rough Spanish plonk that we used to get from the handling agents in Alicante again Trev???

bet they didnt keep the passengers waiting


Leif -- My head hurts so I think I will go lie down for a year or so
