If we dont have the planes and carriers (no bad thing) then we cant get heavily involved (no bad thing) this means less expense (no bad thing).

Its just win, win, win  ;D ;D ;D



But we do have enough Tornado GR4's, Typhoons, and even Nimrod's,  R1's that is, are available.  We don't need the carriers as thanks to our old Empire we can still use Gibraltar, Malta and Cyprus :y :y :y

But of course it will also be the French, Italians, and whatever the Arab League nations are prepared to use, involved, not just British resources!

Well done by the way to David Cameron for playing this policy all the way through, against initial great (USA) opposition, to arrive at this historic UN commitment! :y :y :y :y :y


No one wanted to comment on my post then!! ::) ::) ::)

Oh, well!! >:( >:(

maybe everyone agrees and theres nothing more to say?

and if you believe that you'll believe the Libyan ceasefire exists  :o :y

Pilot left it late to eject didn't he? Suspect ejecting early may be unwise, but didn't see the shoot open.  :o

LZ, Not needing aircraft carriers is not an option as it is a floating base allowing us to strike from out at sea.

The French will have their carrier off the Libyan coast, with carriers of the USA also available as floating bases.

As I stated though, Cyprus, Malta, Gibralter, and even the Italian bases being made available could all be used by the RAF. ;) ;)

That is not forgetting the bases in Turkey and the Arab states involved in this enterprise.

Cheeky bugger! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D

It is "could" Steve because we do not know yet which, if any, they "will" use as that is now a State Secret - according to my friend David! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

LZ,I understand we have  the use of these bases.  But we are dependent on those countries and by arrangement.

It would still be good to know they are available.  However, you may say I am counter  arguing by this fact that it will likely be a short operation and therefore carriers (asset) will not be required.

But why be dependent on others assets :question

To start with using other peoples bases is cheaper! :D :D :D ;)

As for carriers, they are actually a wonderful target for the enemy to destroy, and that is why we are now in the age of long range fighters, with in flight re-fueling and missiles.

Note that it was a Vanguard class submarine that has fired off 124 Tomahawk missiles from "somewhere in the Mediterranean".  The new age where big surface ships are redundant in so many cases, and especially in a full scale war with a major military country. ;) ;)
