Flyaway unit cost for F-22 listed here as $150 million. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-22_Raptor F-35 costs in current LRIP phase (meaning the cost when in full production will be less) - https://www.f35.com/about/fast-facts/cost

Gripen isn't stealthy, and most importantly of all cannot operate off any type of aircraft carrier. The F-35 program, while it has faced delays, is progressing well and the aircraft has performed admirably in a number of exercises. The UK took delivery of (as I understand it) its sixth...

We manufacture the submarines and the warheads. We have the ability to store, load and fire the weapons. In what way is it not independent?

The missiles do indeed come from a pool in the USA but as there is always one Vanguard submarine at sea with a complement of Trident missiles, this has very little effect on operations.

Whether we go through with the threat or not is down to the PM - either directly or through the letters of last resort (for all we know, Theresa May set out an order for the boat captains not to retaliate, and her statement today was a bluff). But if the best way to prevent that scenario from...

First name that comes to my mind is Warspite, although its already been used on a now retired attack submarine.

And the current class is named Vanguard. That's the point of Trident. It exists to make nuclear war a scenario that nobody can win, hence deterring anyone from launching such an attack in the first place.

Every Labour MP voted against the welfare bill in its third reading. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201516/cmhansrd/cm151027/debtext/151027-0004.htm#15102752002912

Only a handful of the people there were actually Labour members (active members, at least). Most were ex SWP, Communist Party etc., and one of them was actually expelled from the LP for threatening behavior.

The 67's RA rating might be restrictive depending on the work that Colas may give to the 50s.

Nope, you were correct for yesterday's flight. C-17 ZZ175 as RRR826 performed at least one approach to Newquay. :)

The goods shed and one platform at Helston are still standing. The goods shed is used as a community centre with the platform having been made into a flower bed. Streetview link

Penzance has the added traffic of those who will be going onwards to the Isles of Scilly, but other than that I don't think so - from my limited experience, most people in Cornwall get on at Truro. Difference though is that Penzance is the terminus of the main line, rather than being a branch...

Looking on RTT it positions from Penzance TMD to Par just before the scheduled run to Plymouth

Ideal, thanks. Hope to catch it on the morning run from Penzance to Par soon then :)

Forgive me for my ignorance, quite new to this hobby. Does this mean that the 57s will be doing local runs within Cornwall throughout the summer?

What's now known as ISIS was formed in 1999, 4 years before the 2003 invasion.

Keeping Up Appearances and Miranda for me.

43002 is looking lovely, hopefully it'll make a journey down to Penzance while still in that livery. Must say, it will look a bit odd with just the power car painted up!
