Used to play with planes. Enjoyed playing with planes. Stayed in some good hotels. Went somewhere hot. Came back. No longer play with planes.

My question on Ajax would simply be are the track and running gear maintenance schedules and instructions comparable to Warrior.

@exRAF_Al @thinkdefence Did anyone ask which way these 14 aircraft were going?

JUST IN - British Royal Navy will take the lead in forming an alliance to reopen the Strait of Hormuz — British Times

Some good news to share with you all.
It appears my Tesco online access has been restored. Not sure if Mrs W is aware. Let’s see how long it’ll take for me to be banned again!

A passenger complained that they found something truly disgusting in their in flight meal.
We've investigated, and it's the in flight meal.

24x7 reacting to every news snippet, crypto bro, media analysis, opinions, and counter opinions, must be exhausting. I dont know how people on here do it. 99% of it just theatrical noise

This’ll make you laugh. Sam has just got home from work.
Me ‘give us a hug’
Sam ‘why, what do you want’?
Is this a normal wife reaction?

@defencewithac Grow short range with starstreak, grow medium with sky sabre, and buy 2 patriot systems, covering London. Manpower mostly reserves. Its really not hard. We dont need a full UK 'Iron-dome'. Yet.

The underappreciated element of this is that, with drone technology where it is, the scale of the air defences required to be truly safe is now massive. The sheer quantity of required air defences would make WW3 planners baulk.

The UK needs UK-based IAMD and Ground-Based Air Defence (GBAD). The idea that the Home Base is somehow "safe" is sadly utterly laughable - it isn't. T45 and Typhoon can only do so much, and in many reasonable scenarios, would only appear after an attack had caused untold damage

@StansaidAirport We should clear that backlog of prisoners by 2030.
English
Historical Fact: Between March 1946 and August 1947, our airport was used for housing prisoners of war. This taught us everything we know about handling passengers today.
English
That the state of the British Armed Forces is such a surprise to many is a sad reflection on our political and media class. People have been screaming about it for decades, and given a stiff ignoring.

@Posted_to_BAOR I get flashbacks, GW1 the hotel served roach chicken with rice, and the next day chicken curry with roast potatoes!!!!!

I flew past Lydd today.
I had flashbacks of trying to eat frozen D shaped pasties in the pissing rain in January while a bored RE Cpl talked about IEDs……….

I'm sure we must have done this but has anyone read anything on harmonising NATO and national standards, mutual recognition of regulatory obligations, and other similar overheads in defence?

@JohnRosier @SharePickers The trick is to have at least 1 EV - the fuel saved brings packback down to about 5 years. You can also make a lot by sending power back at peak time, can be 35p KW, and Octopus just cut my nightime price from 7p, to 3.5p so a fill up of the car is £2
English
@SharePickers Out of interest, how much was the capital cost? How much do you think you will save over a year?

Two weeks ago we had solar panels and a battery fitted. We have just completed our first full week with the system.
Our electric bill for the week commencing 10th March 2026 compared to the same week last year has dropped by 71% from £31.71 to £9.05.
We also have not received our DNO cert yet which would allow us to sell back into the grid. On sunny days our battery has been full by 11:30am meaning we don’t yet benefit from the excess free energy being produced.
We are now going to buy an electric car and fill it with free energy.
If only all of the UK could do this, it would go along way to reducing the countries high energy costs.

@PC_Angry I dont think starstreak is rated for highspeed aircraft launch - and AKPS is much smaller, better to adopt starstreak for army and RAF Regiment, and AKPS for Typhoon, or even Hawk or hawk replacement, give Red Arrows back a war role.
English
We should be going all in on Starstreak/LMM rather than the american APKWS.

While high-end assets like THAAD and the F-35 grab all the headlines, a "blue-collar" hero, as I like to call it, is quietly winning the drone war every night. The RAF Regiment’s Rapid Sentry system, deployed around Erbil, Iraq, has notched an incredible tally of ~50 Iranian drone intercepts since February 28. To put that in perspective, Rapid Sentry has downed roughly 10 times as many drones as the RAF’s fighter jets in the same theater! It’s the ultimate goalkeeper: a VSHORAD designed exclusively to tackle low and slow threats like the Shahed-136. 1/2
