A decade ago, TheEye was invited aboard the USS Enterprise (the aircraft carrier, not the starship) and had a most excellent although dry dinner in the wardroom. Luckily was pre-armed with a hipflask. It dropped anchor in The Solent…the stretch of water between the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth….because it […]

For exactly 250 posts now, TheEye and his co-conspirators St Crispin and the GrumpyOldTwat have been randomly spreading military stuff, political opinion and random nonsense with all of the enthusiasm of a Rwandan soldier who has just won 2 minutes on a trolley-dash in a machete shop. To mark this […]

In February TheEye blogged on the refusal of this disgusting Government to help subsidise our D-Day veterans to attend the 65th anniversary commemoration of their heroism. The MoD only provide funding to commemorate 25th, 50th, 60th and 100th anniversaries of major engagements but quite how many veterans would be around […]

This message is from the Young Britons’ Foundation to certain chaps and chapesses in Luton (and elsewhere). Says it very well.

You may want to buy a used Harrier jet for the front lawn as per the previous post, but if Del-Boy offers you a Nimrod then turn him down. The RAF have 18 of them. One tragically crashed in Afghanistan on 2nd September 2006 with the loss of 14 servicemen. […]

As St. Crispin has blogged below on second-hand aircraft, TheEye offers him an opportunity for the ultimate in garden ornaments…a used Harrier GR7 (one careful owner, some scratches).
