Spams have started to throw Tomahawks at Tripoli and the PM has stated that the RAF has already started operations over Libya.

In that case can I come to?

If we're going to give Gaddafi a good lesson I'm perfectly placed for the role and I can bring my own PowerPoint lessons!:PDT_Xtremez_30:

What do you think would bore him into submission first, Hydraulic Principles or Nose Wheel Steering systems?:PDT_Xtremez_42:

I'm sure I can get my hands on a copy of 'The Man from LOX' or 'Don't Lose your RHAG' if that will help!:raf:

Mod confirm that some of those Tomahawks came out of a British Sub.

US navy confirms 110 Tomahawks launched at Air defence sites and Airfields.

Who told the French where to drop?

But to answer your question, I've just had a phone call telling me to pack to be on the next available trooper. 0 to 24hr NTM in the space of one phone call. Damn, I love this job sometimes!

It's interesting to note that all the reports are coming from Lossie and not a word from the Fens.

BBC Look East have started showing footage of MRM jets 'getting ready to go'...

They also alleged that weapons are being prepared and delivered, although the footage they showed appeared to be a RAPTOR pod... Numpty's

Didn't get a good look at but, it was either a Stormshadow or a Raptor, though there has been footage of stuff being taken out of the bomb dump (mostly in boxes).

This bit is funny, Since when do the rebels have their own air force?
It's either a gadaffi loyal pilot, who deserved his fate
Or its a defecting libyan air force pilot, but surely knowing that a no-fly-zone is authorised why was he stupid enough to use an aircraft to run away, whether it was the french that took him down or the rebels with their archaic guns it was very silly of him to be in the air when the chances of NFZ policing in force he could be taken out.

If it was just a joe bloggs rebel, what a way to go! Stealing a jet and succesfully navigating it though the skies for a while

Nope, there was footage of an airfield with Mig 23's captured by the reblels at the start of this thing. Most likely a defected pilot trying to bomb gadiffi's forces and getting shot down by his own rebels.

This is where things need to be taken with a pinch of salt. Political games, fog of war and all that.

News keeps telling us he is killing civvies. Pictures are showing guys with guns, bigger guns, tanks and now jets. Gadaffi loyal pilot would be just doing his job. the same as ours. If it was a rebel then they are breaking the no fly zone ??
