OK, I mis-spoke. We loaned them to you. But why speak of money matters between friends in public? [:D] But it was a confusing period in which many plans and proto types were looked at by both countries , and did not come to fruition. And of course there was the 1957 white paper that said manned aircraft were obsolete and should be replaced by missiles. That didn't do the British aircraft industry much good. Frankly I always thought it made good sense to use the Washington as a temporary filler till the V-force arrived.

Ah yes, the good old white papers. Scourge of the British Aviation indsutry [:D] To be fair it wasn't just the White Paper that killed off the industry, it was the British Industry itself that destroyed itself. The only potentially great thing we missed out on was the TSR.2. If you want to read more about the state of the British industry in the 50s and 60s, Empire of the Clouds is a good account of things at that time.

Wow! The British *were* advanced. They had their "Whiz-Kid" bean-counter wonk gits a full decade before we had ours. That's what happens when you let desk jockeys plan your defense.

So I'm assuming you enjoyed demolishing the last turn I sent you several days ago? [:D]

Just finished. Are you in a position to play some more? Have your ****ing packing and *****-****ing unpacking duties abated? [:D]

Welp, the Penguin is still kicking my rump. He's just secured New Caledonia, and I think he's going for the South Pole next, presumably to visit his relatives.
