Rules and regulations are the foundation of the public services, and discipline ensures that these rules and regulations are followed. Rules, regulations and orders all work together to ensure that everything which needs doing, gets done as efficiently as possible. Also when in very dangerous situations such as Afghanistan being disciplined, i.e. following rules, regulations and orders could save your life.

Second World War, ever since then with there sucess due to intelligent training and what is still known as the hardest longest training in the world, the British S.A.S have gained a mythilogical status. they also remain the most copied regiment in the whole world,and the British S.A.S willingly help other countrys better there troops,just like they help set up and better American Delta Core back in the 60's. but the S.A.S do not teach other countrys "everything" they still remain the most secrative in the world,and are rumoured to be well more technilogicaly advanced than anyother.

If you know the name of the ship, try an Internet search for it. For example, if it was the USS Sims, go ask.com and type in "USS Sims." This will bring up any web sites for the USS Sims. You can enter any site and see if they have a bulletin board to ask questions. This is how I found shipmates of my Grandfathers from the USS Randolph.

British military officer Charles Cornwallis - also known as the Marquis Cornwallis and the Earl Cornwallis - is considered important because of his involvement in the Seven Years War and the American Revolutionary War. In the Seven Years War, he was known for helping prevent the French invasion of Hanover, and was distinguished in several battles.

During the American Revolution, he was most known for surrendering at the Siege of Yorktown, which was a pivotal battle, and was considered by some to have been the end of America's War for Independence.

Air Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding was nicknamed Stuffy.

1. the Colossus Mark I prototype model used about 1400 tubes
2. each of the 10 Colossus Mark II production models used about 2400 tubes. most of extra tubes were involved in expanding the machine to have 5 parallel processors to increase the speed from the 5000 characters per second of the prototype to 25000 characters per second.

It is very difficult to bomb a country while being shot at by spitfires, they needed to get rid of the spitfires and the RAF air defenses before they could bomb anything because while they were concentrating on bombing they would be killed by the RAF and other defenses.

You wouldn't attack someone who could kill you in the action. You take away their main weapons and defenses before attacking.

Following the 9/11 attacks President George W. Bush demanded that the Taliban hand over Osama bin Laden. They refused to do so without proof that he had been involved, although they did recommend that he leave the country. However he did not and the US launched Operation Enduring Freedom along with the United Kingdom.

They faced a lack of experienced pilots and replacement aircraft. Many pilots going into action had less than 40 hours flight time.

General Thomas Gage

The Royal Navy by Virtue of its Grand Fleet Commander Sir (later Earl) John Jellicoe who understood both his own navy and The German High Seas Fleet he always fought for supremacy over the High Seas Fleet and the stress on him nearly broke him he was ousted quite Unfairly by another great man in the Royal Navy Sir (later Earl) David Beatty who while being a brave leader didn't even know the flaws in his own Battlecruisers remarking famously at the Jutland after losing two of his battlecruisers "There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today" However despite these problems at the end of WW1 it was the German Navy who scuttled itself in Scapa Flow

Therefore the best navy in ww1 was His Royal Britannic Majestys Royal Navy Which by the end of ww1 had some 33 Battleships and 9 Battlecruisers which made it larger in terms of capital ships larger than the American Russian French and Japanese navies combined

The RAF successfully defeated the Germans in the Battle of Britain in late Summer 1940. The end of the battle allowed Britain to rebuild its military forces and establish itself as an Allied stronghold. Britain later served as a base from which the Liberation of Western Europe was launched.

BLIDWORTH AIRFIELD WAS USED MOSTLY AS AN AIRCRAFT PARTS STORAGE PARK MOSTLY AMERICAN AIRCRAFT AND PARTS I WAS TOLD THAT A WELLINGTON BOMBER ONCE LANDED THERE THERE IS NO VISIBLE SIGN OF TE AIRFIELD FROM THE AIR NOW BUT THE GUARD HOUSE IS STILL THERE THERE WERE A FEW TIGER MOTH AIRCRAFT WHICH CRASHED THERE TOO ALSO LONGDALE LANE CRAFT CENTRE MAY HAVE SOME INFO ABOUT IT AS IT'S ONLY OVER THE ROAD

you have to be very strong

Any job in the armed forces is dangerous. Obviously some more dangerous than others for example an infantryman in Afghan would be in more danger than a vehicle mechanic based in England. Depends on where you are operating. Obviously pilots have threats in Afghan from SAM's but these are very rare and saved mainly for the protection of high ranking taliban officers. Another example at the moment is Libya, they have more access to SAM's and dedicated fighter aircraft. Realistically with operations at the moment there isn't a massive threat. The RAF has very modern equipment, very effective counter-measures and the danger to a pilot is not very high.

"Never have so many owed so much to so few"

Currently the HMS Illustrious, is now helicopter based assault carrier. The HMS Royal Ark was decomissioned spring of 2011. The Royal Navy has commissioned the Queen Elizabeth class super carriers and two are being built now, with the first expected to join service in 2016 and the second 2018.

To give you an idea of the difference in the carriers, the Illustrious is 2,000 long tons (22,000 t) with4 Olympus gas turbine engines, 2 Shafts.

The new carriers (first will be the HMS Queen Elizabeth, the second HMS Prince of Wales) will be 65,000 long tons (66,000 t) powered by 2 x Rolls-Royce MT30 Gas Turbines.
