Sep 23rd, 2010 - 10:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So much used, after delivering the cargo inside the presumed second best Nato Fleet.
It´s a pity that some british fuses of that stuff didn´t work.
Lord xxxby (you can google it, another flematic lordy) had a famous statement of how lucky GB has been on the fuses issue.
We should have bought them in a reliable supplier.
The fisheries would had received a lot of fresh food.
Pheel,
Sep 23rd, 2010 - 11:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There was nothing wrong with the fuzes, its spelt with a z when it is ordnance related by the way. They were delived too low for the fuzes to function properly. Had the pilots flown a little higher there would have been more casualties amongst the FAA from the air defence units.
As regards ejector seats, those fitted to the A-4 Skyhawk were crap, many of the FAA casualties were killed by their ejector seat.
And what you're talking about is the unnecessary death of young men in the prime of life. Who was it ranting about warmongers?
You know that I was just answering a similar post of Sticky that put my birds to fly.

I wouldn´t spoke of fishfood if not feeling insulted.
A kind word turneth away wrath.
Sep 24th, 2010 - 09:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0And the purpose of your original post was because?
A joke about the reason for Typhoons to fly to Punta Arenas, being a 4+ generation jet and including a tanker as they could already landed at MP or fly around TdelFuego (as they did later).
Sep 24th, 2010 - 10:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0A bit of humour on a strange issue without evidences.
Well you would do well to consider that humour in text without the feedback from facial expressions often fails to translate.
Sep 24th, 2010 - 02:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0For example:
Would you like to buy 11,300 FN FAL rifles, hardly used and only dropped once.
Is humorous but can case offence. I didn't mean it to case offence by the way, just making an example.
Which relation has your point with a foggy-weather device?
Sep 24th, 2010 - 09:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Did somebody has been killed for that conditions?
Having asked the Ministry of Defence about the “fog” incident, I think we can take it that the diversion to Chile was a “test”. To see whether Argentina would comply with international law. Let's face it, Argentine radar coverage of that country is nowhere near complete. So, chances are the Typhoons could have avoided any areas with radar coverage.

Sep 27th, 2010 - 05:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But yes Typhoon is right as they just struck oil it could have well been a test.
Yeahhhhh...
Sep 27th, 2010 - 05:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A “test” alright.....................
Thet te(a)sted the freshness of the King Crab at the Remezon restaurant in PA :-)))))
