Re: so how many Billions of £££ for 3 HMS OCEAN's ???

Is a good thing you posted AC, HMS Ocean is a perfect helicopter carrier without the usual defence mark up, yes it may have a shorter lifespan, but even building another will cost less thn having the defence filth getting their fingers in!

As posters have pointed out...

Its not the share, its the profit!

Yes Toyota may sell more cars than Ferrari, but for Farrari their small volumes are at high procs, that allows them to do RnD and make a profit.

Leave the mass market to thos that want it, as long as the company survives and thrives, who gives a damn.

In comparing Android v Apple, you are comparing multipe competitors against one company, I think you will find that Apple is the biggest singl smart phone vendor and the most profitable at the smae time|!, and unlike the andriod base who can switch from maker to maker when the contracts end, Apples customers stay with them.

Re: Death Penalty

blah blah blah blah using that analogy we should close down the NHS becuase it kills a couple of hundred people thoough mistakes every year.

Its your kind of liberal stupidity, that means that the filth running around the streets of England, can shoot a 5 year old and paralse her and know the most they get is 14 years and their walking, and that will probally be less!

Because BAE are the biggest bunch of Lying gits on the face of the planet, how exactly does adding a couple of eletricals catapaults and amending the deck to allow the launch add up to £1.8 Billion? Get a grip , its an old trick used to ge6t out of doing work you don't want to do. You give a figure so stupidly high it puts off the customer

Re: Putting the boot in

Are you still going ?

The E3 sentry has a radome on top of the plane, Thats the best airborne early warning platform in service, It gets blocked by the body ??? seriously thats was an argument!

Name one other country that uses helicopter AEW , there are not lots, there are 4 in total, and the only think they have in common is that their carriers are too small to launch proper Haqwyeye type aircraft.

The choppers can fly as fast, as high, handle as many targets as the aircraft , due to their small size , its FACT

LPF

Re: Putting the boot in

Are you still going ?? The Hawyeyes can be refuelled normally, have a larger crew and can carry a more powerful radar.

Endurance again are you kidding, seriously look at the figures! DO you work for BAE or something?

as for the Voyagers, yeah 14,000 KM but they have to be where the fighters can reach them, to refuel, which means that they will also be near the targets, which is why the US navy has its own tankers and fighters carry buddy stores.

Altiude means you can look over the horizon, which means you have more time to see your attackers, spped means that you have greater chance of getting away to safety if attackers get to close!

Apart from the RAF heard of any other country using AWACS choppers, and the Osprey has enough trouble as it is without trying to put radar next to to massive titling damn proppellers!

Re: Putting the boot in

I'm sorry is this a wind up ??? The B Model IS NOT The preferred option of most countries and will never by, especially at $155Million a piece are you on crack or something ? Its a white4 elephant even before it enters service!

The Merlin AWACS is in no way comparable to a Hawkeye in either range, speed or endurance, I suggest you actually :

Merlin Performance :

Never exceed speed: 309 km/h (167 knots, 192 mph)

Cruise speed: 278 km/h (150 knots, 278 km/h)

Range: 1,389 km (750 nmi,[136] 863 mi)

Endurance: 5 hours

Service ceiling: 4,575 m (15,000 ft)

E-2 Hawkeye Performance :

Maximum speed: 350 knots (648 km/h)

Cruise speed: 256 knots (474 km/h)

Ferry range: 1,462 nmi (2,708 km)

Endurance: 6 hr

Service ceiling: 34,700 ft (10,576 m)

And as for relying on land base tankers to support your sea borne aircraft, Jesus words fail me, I suppose your expecting an airbase to always be near for them to operate from??

I suggest you refrain from commentating on a subject you obviously know nothing about!.

Yes re-reading the story again, he's paid her to make a film about him, so its his property unless , they had a contract stating that she retained copyright.

Looks like she's tried to pull the same stusnt wedding photograhers do, i'e get paid take pictures and retain the copyright to those pictures which is complete balls in my opinion , you get paid to do something , then you dont own it, however if you create it yourself without someone else paying you to do it , then you own it.

LPF

Hmm the way I read this is...

That he paid for someone to make a film about him , and therefore it is his work, as in "work for hire" practice.

The only way this steele person could have copyright is if she suggested h to him that she make a film about him, in which case it would be her copyright.

Re: Is this a quote or an opinion? Either way it is wrong.

Amazon is bad for Authors in that they have destroyed outlets that distributed a range of books, what happens then is that when you have the book distribution industry sewn up as your the only game in town , you can then tell the publishers , that you either get a discount, or they dont get listed.

The problem is that when they got lowwer priced phone sthan apple, with bigger scrren and free OS and different designs, and still could not beat tem, they decided to just plain old copy them.
