    We'll have to teach the young to read a map, like what we always had to do. Best of luck with that though...

    You "beat" plenty of things. But only after the watershed.

    Indeed the RAF could equip their new fighters with a canvas and balsawood contraption on top to contain this new GPS.
    Let's hope it doesn't change the aerodynamic qualities of the plane too much.

    - we’re now free to spend the Galileo dividend on our own system instead
    - we now only need to pay for the access to Galileo that we want (within the boundaries of what the EU offers)
    - we can do deals with everyone else (eg USA) for access to their systems, and that will all work out great because they have no self-interest whatsoever and they will bend over backwards to do a great deal with us
    - we’ve reduced the influx of EU immigrants (“scientists”)
    - we’ve successfully reduced the freedom of movement of our own scientists, so that they can concentrate on innovative jam recipes instead of world class science.
    Reminds me of the TSR2

    Well when they did allow the UK to use it you didn't consider them as friends so they may as well treat the UK like sh*t.
