There will have been land based interceptors, airborne early warning and typhoons on QRA covering London but such a rare event must be a very tempting strategic opportunity for adversaries at such a tipping point in the worlds power balance. Anyway, it’s over now. The British brand has just had a hell of a boost. The final act of a remarkable sovereign. In regard to the British brand, an obvious and trivial observation maybe, but the vehicles used today... Bentley, Land Rover, Range Rover and Jaguar. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers. I was aware of that but the "brand" is still considered to be worth investing in. A far more downmarket example, I bought a modern Mini last year. Still built in Britain but owned by BMW of course. The Mini brand is the selling point both here and around the world and BMW know that. I watched lots of video reviews before buying one and something that I found odd was that the English reviewers got rather embarrassed when it came to new Union Flag rear lighting configuration. All the overseas reviewers where "now we come to the best part of the new Mini, rear lights in the shape of the Briddish flag , how cool is that?" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
