    No probs. When they are sitting on the ground, in pieces, you will be glad you bought french. Also I see we are to stop giving India £1Billion a year in aid. In other news...Plans are afoot to close down the visa restrictions on Indian Nationals coming to the UK to study. I bet you are glad that French is a National Language of India, because it looks like that is where all the Indians will be going.

        The Rafale is the best fighter in the world. I don't even understand how someone can look at the Eurofighter, which is a wonderful true POS.

              Not really pissed off at losing the contract, because it will be late delivered and over priced and the aircraft will be unreliable and falling out of the sky. And as for the £1Billion in aid every year, even your finance minister doesn't want it (see here[^]) But the restiction of visas for foreign students is all down to politicking.

                                        WW1, WW2, French Indo-China, Algeria, Fench Congo, Ivory Coast, etc...Hardly great victories attained through air superiority. And even the Falklands were won by our Fat Lazy Harrier Jumps Jets and Tornado Strike Fighters rather than the Super Duper Étendard that the Argies used.
