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.

Pardon me for asking questions.

I think Malta would rely on Faith Hope and Charity

I thought that "Hope" was the only survivor.

Updated: Second UK Strike Against Libyan Defence Assets

Senior Service all the way.

stick to the hospipe in the scuppers ye old pirate. To hit individual vehicles moving on a road is a job for the straffers

[Incognito]

zeity's the expert on that stuff.

as far as I know, we are using air launched cruise missiles at the moment, it must be the frogs and the US who have been blatting the convoys on the coast road

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"

gibbon
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 ?
how long would it take to get the people, management, spares, defence, etc etc etc

[Gibbon]

Really? So, what were you doing?

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.

It was just on the news that they aborted the mission at the last moment because of the presence of civilians.

Permission to use foreign landing strips? Malta is closer than Italy, but I haven't heard any mention of them so far. Malta might not want to participate in case they pick the wrong side.

[Sysman]

I'm not expecting the RAF to bomb civilians.

You missed the point.

Why make a round-trip of 3000 miles? There are staging points a damn sight nearer to Libya.

Interesting. What are the house prices like?

They are not for sale sadly.

[PAH]

In short, they are chunks of the island that we did not give back when we granted the rest of it Independence. We retain control of it in perpetuity, essentially as if it were a part of Britain.
