    Hear, hear! These two decisions haven't really sunk in yet ... they are just so stupid.

    I'm posting more archive pics up to the free section of the Defence Image Database at http://www.defenceimagedatabase.mod....web/GridDI.fwx . As before, just register to get hold of the high res's.

    It's good to see the old images again, they're a bit ropey in places but well worth another look. They're also mirrored at www.flickr.com/photos/defenceimages

    ultras-askary - I don't know who/where you are, or what you are trying to achieve by posting apparently random photos on various threads, but if your aim is to annoy you've succeeded. Do us all a favour, until you have the faintest idea about military matters, please stop posting.

    Ultras-askary, the above seems like some really good advice.

    Actually i think HMS Daring makes the Enterprise look smaller than she has ever looked before next to a ship of Darings class....
