Blackbriar 8,569 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Anyone else watch it ? Absolutely breathtaking and quite emotional, at times. If that didn't make you proud, there's something wrong with you ! What a spectacle ! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Ahhh, back to the days when you could be proud of your country without some wet fart calling you something-ist. Didn't see it myself, but Happy Birthday RAF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,751 Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Gents, plenty of sovereign military hardware to be proud of today. Two of the largest warships ever built for the RN are in the water now. By the time they’re operational they’ll be on par with anything else on the planet. Also look at the BAE Taranis concept. An intercontinental unmanned stealth bomber! Amazing in scope for the likes of the UK. Frankly it’s amazing that we are still capable of producing such quality given how little the public care for it. I think there’s also a joint Anglo-Swede project just started for our Typhoon replacement too. Hopefully this one will be able to take on the famous Spitfire moniker in tribute. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can neither confirm nor deny that our regional manager went to it. The comment was more of a "What The British Public Don't Know, Is What Makes Them The British Public." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
