ruxy Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 It could stay beached as part of the govenment budget MOD spending review cuts.

steveo578 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Tony BBBC Radio 7, back in the days when we did have a navy Oh I get it now -the navy lark -if anyone wrote the things that happen to RN subs in a comedy it would be classed as too absurd - £1bn sub runs aground on its shake down cruise, previously a RN sub hits a French sub- a few years back the Government decides the jolly roger is not PC - I wonder what next-:wow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
