Today the Typhoon

[The Strat]

Was at the Cosford show today - actually official business some guys from the UAE and other stuff - but stone me the Typhoon - seen it before of course but again the way that beast turns and climbs! The Tornadoes were great as well and the new Apache.

Wow, must be really exciting to see how far we have progressed with killing people from the air.


Harsh, sorry, Lindsay. But that is what they exist to do.

[ncdrawl]

it IS good to see how things have advanced, yes.


why wouldnt it be?


im glad of it.


efficient kills is the goal, minimizing collateral damages..


peace would be nice, but anyone.who thinks we will ever have it is delusional...a pie in the sky hippy dippy bullshit pipe dream

And that is human nature. That is what we exist to do. The Typhoon is just a tool.

Just remember that 'collateral damage' is usually civilian death.......and remember how well America has done there in the past ffs. Course we need lovely instruments of Death.... The UK is under attack every minute of every day!

Guns don't kill people, rappers do!

No shit Sherlock

[The Strat]

Well I didn't mean a political debate guys. I've also been clear that conflict is a reality of life in may forms and the Typhoons are on 24hrs readiness to apprehend any potential threat to the UK mainland. But OK also there was the Lancaster and Spitfire and on that point I'll rest the case. Strat

[Jezzer]

Well said Lindsay.

Spitfire = Beautiful

(also the P-51 Mustang)

I think Russian fighter jet design is right at the bleeding edge:

Your point other than the usual trolling for reaction?

Your point other than the usual trolling for reaction?

Just wondered what your point was in stating the blatantly obvious.

[Cloth-Ears]

How'd you mean ?

Perhaps he did it to troll you?

Um, S-37 has its origins in the 1980s and has never entered series production.

Sometimes it amazes me that you've ever managed to find a girlfriend

All the time there are people like you around you are right.

[Matt J]

Seriously, the F-22 moves like no other plane I've ever seen. I've been to more than my share of air shows (nerd) and the only time I've been truly jaw-dropped was when I saw an F-22 doing it's practice run pre show day, most of it looked impossible compared to what I had been used to up until that point.

It makes the Typhoon look obsolete.

[Mr Cat]

How'd you mean ?

I disagree
