Interesting to think about when gaming naval bombardment.

Juno, If I were air arm,  I wouldn't be able to remeber all of that without notes - even the briefing officer had notes!

Per Paul, I did noticed that a few of the officers had, what I've been led to believe, Runcornian accents!

I must admit to a similar thought about the accents but I fear we may both have been lead astray ;)

"Lead astray" - meaning the Pb has been turned into figures of a period you aren't interested in?  ;D

No, no. Here in Runcorn we all go around calling each other "good chaps" - me and Pongo and Binky and the other fellows.

I particularly liked Guns report to the Captain that the pilot got over excited and didn't report in the proper format ;) ;D

Well, one doesn't like to comment, but I fear the pilot may have been from ... Widnes.  They're awfully prone to emotional outbursts.

Once upon a time there was a lady called Marcy.

Marcy had two great passions in her life, speciality teas and breeding koalas.

Learning of Kopi Luwak or civet coffee as it's also known, a coffee made with the faeces of civets fed on coffee beans, she decided to combine her passions and create a speciality tea.

To drink her tea you will need a teacup and saucer, milk, sugar and a teaspoon but not a tea strainer because ....

The Koala Tea of Marcy is not strained.

I think, Sir, that this is your coat. May I suggest you don it outside the establishment?

Well highlighted, fsn. Whilst the Javelin is a very capable system for knocking out armour (even helicopters at a pinch), at approx. $150,000 a missile, is a tad extravagant for knocking out most bunkers, etc.   At approx. $25,000 a tube and between $500 and $3,000(?) a shot, in my opinion, there's definitely a case for the British Army re-introducing the Carl Gustav, not to replace but to supplement the Javelin re-usable system and the NLAW [2014 prices]. Here is the latest version:-



Crickey, I used to fire (very infrequently) and lug about (much more frequently) the Charlie G.

More and more armies appear to be favouring this type of artillery system over tracked systems mainly due to acquisition and ongoing maintenance costs. The loading process is fascinating. Hail Caesar! 


However, I still prefer the Swedish Archer artillery system (which is probably more expensive, methinks; otherwise the Danes may well be acquiring this instead).


I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
