Well if you have been watching the news you wont have failed to hear the the Harrier is being retired today, now I like a lot of people thought when this buch got into power there would be some kind of joined up thinking how wrong we all were, the scrap such an iconic and adaptable plane does not make any sense, we are now left without a carrier force so will be unable to responed to problems like the Falklands for at least 10 years, we are an island race and should at least have the ability to send aircraft to all corners of the world even if we don't need to just right now, this decission is totally insane.
It wouldn't be so bad if we were going to replace them with a good alternative but we aern't, were getting the US Raptor that has been touted as a 21st century jump jet when it's not, it's a bag of nails that can only hover if it's over a suspended platform that's full of holes as if it tried to do the same over solid ground it would fall out the sky with the crace of an anvil, whoever has done this should have their head examined if you ask me, it's totally mad.
Sorry rant over!.

    Iv'e been told that Argentina could now retake the Falkland Islands because now that the Harrier is to be scraped, we could no longer guarantee to get the right planes there. oops

    We have lost the plot here these day's, even the families of the terrorists we generate blame us for radicalizing them!, WHAT??, yeah right it's our fault isn't it that your son went bang, it's got nothing to do with his local spiritual leader or close family or freinds oh no blame us!.
