Excellent idea Dr. Mike!

I've been reading this thread for the last couple of hours, I could'nt stop. I'm a member of the media, a TV camerguy, and for a short time (94-95)  was in the army doing a QL2 course with the reserves.  I know it was a very limited experience but I have always been very pro-military and it ...

Interesting comments about the American ARH - seems like the most politically viable option.  A while back I saw a pic of a Griffon undergoing testing with a 20mm cannon and Hellfire launchers - apparently neither was hooked up, maybe just checking the aerodynamics- but anyways does anyone...

Thanks GAP, some very interesting reading.  During the election campaign of 2004 I took the future PM up in our company chopper (TV chopper) for our morning show - he seemed really intersted when I told him the Danes used an armed version of the aircraft - well let's hope we get something...

As for airlift - despite the bad news,( or should I say lack of news ?) on C-17's for the Air Force in Tuesday's budget (which would be based at Trenton) the MND was strongly hinting yesterday that the buy is still on among  "6-8 items" on the DND's shopping list - he said he had the money and...
