    You referred to a comfy armchair, I can only assume that you wish to associate that with me being an "armchair" warrior. I assure you that you couldn't be further from the truth.
    As far as the logistics and realities of RAF deployments you are.

    I don't comment on Army or Naval matters because I know nothing about them.
    But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the younger

      how long would it take to deploy and get operational , say 4 planes, to an airfield, assuming all you had was a runway, fuel and unlimited airlift capacity ?

        Get it right me old trench digging friend.

        Chief of Defence Staff's Strategic Communications Officer Major General John Lorimer said

        "I can confirm that British Armed Forces have participated in another co-ordinated strike against Libyan Air Defence systems.

        For a second time, the UK has launched guided Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAM) from a Trafalgar Class submarine in the Mediterranean as part of a coordinated coalition plan to enforce the resolution"

        Senior Service all the way.
        "I hope Celtic realise that, if their team is good enough, they will win. If they're not good enough, they'll not win - and they can't look at anybody else, whether it is referees or any other influence." - Walter Smith

        On them! On them! They fail!
