Oh definitely, but they wouldn’t have been entirely defenseless
I doubt it would had turned out any better with the tories in charge lol
Who are the Tories? Are they like the main opposition to the Labour Government
To put it in rough American terms.
Labour = Democrats
Tories = Republicans
OK, I’m South African but I get your point
lol. fair enough i guess
The Conservatives. Tories is just a nickname

Without going too far into politics I’d say that’s not really correct. The republicans are generally much further to the right and more conservative than the UK Conservative party. And the democrats probably straddle the line between Labour and the UK conservatives depending on the topic (I’ve seen it argued that they are even to the right of the UK conservative party on some matters)

Well EU politics is shifted to the left compared to the US. But the general “Labour is more left and Tories are more right” is sort of what i was going for.
I would say the democrats in the US are still more right wing than any major party in the UK tbh.

Well back on topic, here are some proposed Sea Harrier FA.2 replacements:
- Shar 3A - Based on Sea Harrier FA.2 with larger wing (9.2 m)
- Shar 3B - Based on Sea Harrier FA.2 with even larger folding wing (11.9 m)
- P.1227 - Based on Harrier GR.5 with the same wing as the SHAR 3B (11.9 m)
All were to feature the Blue Vixen radar from the Sea Harrier FA.2, and the Zeus ECM system from the Harrier GR.5. They were to be fitted with either the Pegasus 19 or RB.532 engine offering a 15% or 30% increase in thrust respectively over the Pegasus Mk.104/5 used in the Sea Harrier FA.2 / Harrier GR.5.

Was the PR the supersonic one or was this a different one?
Your thinking of P.1154

God DAAMN the Shar 3B looks GOOD.
curse the British for being poor! we could’ve had something awesome!
I think the Fig. 1 wing on Fig. 3 would have been better than just massive folding wings
It’s not the British being poor, it’s them wanting free stuff all the time and protesting when all the money is not wasted on them 'cause the don’t want there country to be safe from china or russia
