While yes your right about the security stepped up i don’t think anyone is actually stupid enough because first of all they will definitely feel the full force of the British military and I have no doubt that they would feel the full force of the American military as well and well if that anyone is the big mouth guy that doesn’t like to call a war a war was to attempt to attack the vessel I think that nato would somehow find a way to immediately invoke article 5 which would be very stupid to do especially since they effectively are more ready than they have ever been due to the massive exercise

I was lucky enough to see Sea Harriers land on HMS Ark Royal in Sydney Harbour in 1988 just before she passed under the Harbour Bridge. Awesome sight! I was watching from Garden Island Dockyard on my ship. The Queen Elizabeth Class is a very unique and cool looking ship. I met a couple of blokes from Arkers on one of the nights they were in Sydney…they drank me under the table! 🤣 Oh, and we nearly bought HMS Invincible… but something happened in the South Atlantic in 1982 which scuttled that agreement. We also offered military assistance for that, but our offer was declined.

We rarely use the term 'Wing' any more to refer to aircraft, because the RAF doesn't really have many aviation wings anymore. Our Sqn falls under a Force HQ, which falls under a Group, and there aren't enough Sqns to form a Wing. The only time we really use it nowadays are for things like Base Support Wing, for example. Even Air Mobility Wing refers to the A4 Eng side of things, rather than the A400, C-17 or Voyager aircraft fleets themselves. The USAF at Lakenheath organise their sqns under the 48th Fighter Wing, but our Typhoon sqns are organised under the Combat Air Force, which falls under 1 Group, no Wings.

All countries have a duty to protect their people and borders from outside threats . That is why we have an armed force . And a bit of a pipedream having a well resourced , efficient asylum system under the present government . And evidence suggests nobody has to be spotted in their flimsy boats ,they have A French then a British escort as they cross the channel ,without that there would have been many more tragic deaths .@@Orbital_Inclination

@@paulgrimaldi5904 Given the long history of immigration to the British Isles, from the Vikings, Romans, Angles, Saxons, citizens of our former colonies, etc, what's so wrong about modern immigrants from the Middle East? Is it because they're the wrong colour for you? As an aside, the surname Grimaldi suggests that you probably have some immigrant blood in your ancestry, much like most other British citizens.

I thought the answer to the first part of your reply was obvious , centuries ago this country had a tiny population and plenty of space , and have you not noticed this country has too many people now and cannot support so many as we have got today . and of course the usual obsession with colour when an objection to immigration is raised ,you raised the subject not me. what colour do you think people from the M/E are , they are not that much different than southern Europeans . and of course to stop me voicing my opinion out comes the Racist B/S ,it is so boring and doesn't really work anymore and I do have people of various colours in my family and we get on very well . @@Orbital_Inclination
