Thank you to all of you who have Followed, Listed, Liked, Retweeted and Replied over the years. You teach me at least six new Things every day! In gratitude, here's a mini-Thread of a few Threads that I have posted up over these years for your nostalgic pleasure. Grab a cuppa.
A thread looking at the Royal Navy's cancelled plans for a 155mm deck gun:
A thread with an opinion on Type 31 armament:
A thread looking at the Royal Marines initial 3-year plan for transformation:
A thread on what the Army's future looks like inside my head:
A thread on how similarly equipped Argentina was compared to the UK in 1982:
A thread on the new drone quietly being employed by the Royal Marines:
A thread with pictures of the various Mission Modules available to load on the back of the Boxer 8x8 Drive Module:
Note: There are three versions of Drive Module, the UK has ordered the A3 with the more powerful engine output and up to 38.5t GVW.
A not-a-thread but an interesting video anyway on the development of the highly-secret VT Proximity Fuse shared with CANUK-US right at the beginning of Five-Eyes and the Special relationship:
A red-team style thread on shaking up the British armed forces in 2017:
A thread on clearing away cover:
A thread on Precision Engineering:
A thread on a modern Universal Carrier:
A thread on Batteries and how the UK was pulling together component industries into a whole:
A thread of sketchy drawings showing how a family of vehicles can be based on one platform:
And finally, a thread beginning with a video interview on the V-280 Valor features by Vago Muradian. This is *very* interesting due to the comment on the US Army realising they had relevancy issues where the USMC could influence a Theatre.
Presence.
