Re: ROKAF F-35 Makes belly landing
From the article - this doesn't make good reading... There have been other incidents involving allies and partners in the F-35 program—members of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force have had to make at least seven emergency landings in F-35s, news agency Nikkei reported. There was also a nighttime cra...

Re: This is just bizarre
I think news sourced from RT is probably on a par with that reported by the Daily Star!

Re: Formula 1 2021
In my view people should never be given a "gong" for doing their job unless it is a "non-exceptional" job they have done for their entire lives. And people should certainly never be given one for doing something that has made them rich and enabled them to live a life of luxury. I'm not saying a "ce...

Re: Formula 1 2021
I personally think the honour is fully deserved. I just hope his reported "disillusion" with the sport doesnt mean that we have seen the last race for Lewis, as he remains the best in my opinion. I'm not disputing his position as the most successful Formula 1 driver to date. The best? Well I might ...

Re: Formula 1 2021
I used to be a huge Lewis fan. I think in recent years he's moved from being a racing driver to being a "celebrity" and has changed somewhat which put me off to a great extent. I'm also not a fan of the whole black lives matter thing - I think every life matters equally. I also make no apologies for...

Re: Formula 1 2021
That Paddy, and also the work and effort he's put into the sport especially at a younger level for upcoming kids Working to help other people in the sport may be a justification for an award in my mind however if that's what it is for it should say so. I don't believe winning races and being a mult...

Re: Formula 1 2021
Personally I think it is disgusting that Hamilton has been Knighted.
Time to abolish that part of the system.

Re: F35 Update
I heard a rumour that it ingested a pink plastic chair that had been left on deck by a guy called Dave.....
I have no idea if its true or not, but it would make sense.

Re: Olympic games - Japan 2021
I was appalled to see the England rugby team taking the knee before the match this week. This kind of thing has driven me away from F1 and now I find my self no longer caring about the Olympics either.

The Final Countdown
First let me say, I wasn't sure where to post this - so if it's in the wrong place could a mod move it please! I'm sure many of you will have seen the movie "The Final Countdown" featuring the USS Nimitz and its various air wings. Personally I love this film. I was therefore quite interested when I ...
