Seems to be a common problem amongst our governments.

Its not all bad news, as BAE got the contract to design the new type 26 Frigate, and build 4 more Astute class Submrines.
Should keep Barrow shipyard busy for a while.

Ooooh, Type 26, that slipped under my radar.

Take what you will from the 3D model in this article.

It'll be interesting to see how close the finished article is when compared to the model....very little I suspect

At the expense of Public Services....soon only the rich bankers will be able to afford to provide for themselves.

uk is also to get the f35 by 2012 13, rumors say us marines units will get them first, to replace the harrier.


little industry left in uk. feel sorry for uk people ,really hope somthing turns around,even here in the us things are not so hot. yea these military contracts will keep some jobs on, but in times like these money could be better spent on its people.
not the aircraft thats deadly, its the bomb bullet and missile.

has to be a better system?
