The Colonel seems to have arrived at the figure of over 1800 combat aircraft from a Wikipedia article that claims to list all currently active military aircraft in use by the United Kingdom.
This includes:-
The entire aircraft inventory of the Royal Air Force, the Fleet Air Arm and the Army Air Corps, regardless of whether they are combat aircraft or not, e.g. all transport aircraft and helicopters, rescue helicopters, airborne early warning aircraft, basic trainer aircraft, training gliders, tanker aircraft, liaison helicopters, etc.
Also included in his list are:-
Aircraft of the . Test Pilot’s School.
The RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.
The Royal Navy Historic Flight.
The Army Historic Aircraft Flight.
The Colonel has made so many false claims that no sane person can believe a word that he says, or even that he is who he claims to be, especially as he apparently doesn’t know what ‘combat aircraft’ are.
For Britain's sake, I hope he also lied about being a British Colonel.
Counting the numbers of aircraft in the ‘In service’ column of the ‘List of active United Kingdom military aircraft’ reveals:-
Royal Air Force 1,255
Fleet Air Arm 251
Army Air Corps 277
Others 36
Grand Total 1,819
However, most of them are not combat aircraft, so the Colonel’s claim of over 1,800 combat aircraft is total rubbish.
The list also gives figures of:-
Typhoon 50
Tornado 352
Harrier 102
These are exactly the figures given by the Colonel, which he claimed to know by virtue of his privileged position within the British military. It is far more likely that he is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Wikipedia Army. LOL
On the various British MOD technical committees that I have been a member of, I have had professional dealings with numerous Air Force, Army and Navy officers, and not one of them was anything like the ‘Colonel’ (thank goodness). Rest assured, there is absolutely no way that the ‘Colonel’ was ever a British Army officer.
maybe just the son of a tin-soldier, who is fantasizing that he did what his daddy so often bragged about.. like in how my male parent did, in forever bragging about doing the things his dad did, to make his nothing life seem fruitful and glorious... Pops caught malaria in the Korean war... He was a nothing in the war.. and a nothing in life, just like me...
Some old people get that way when their actual life isn't worth a penny to them... There are medical terms for it... It's a harmless form of insanity... Give the colonel his respect... Let him live his fantasy here, like you all do.. and just fer the hell of it, lets say Greenland is the greatest world power, and leave it at that... England and America are merely primitive barbarians with too many powerful people killing toys... We should beg Greenland to take away the bad kid's dangerous toys.. then maybe we could get a start on building "Peace on Earth", instead of "Piss on Earth"...
Which great power has the ability to restore Peace on Earth..? That's where the true power is...
Ans: No one.. They're all doing so much squabbling in the sludge in the bottom of the barrel, that they can't notice there's more to the barrel than the bottom and the sludge... And as for knowing that there's anything beyond the barrel.. well that's another planet, another time, another reality, that they will never know...
"The only criticism I have is it is too intense…too much at once. But, that’s me, not you."
I was just being like a "liddle bunny rabbit" in that post... My soft and gentle honesty seems to be your intense..?
To me, what is "too intense" is that our species is going extinct, and can't begin to see any of the signs, begin to grasp any of it...
Look at all the floods in the world today, compared to 10-years ago... What does that tell you?..
You did a really big booboo there c-bridge... For almost being nice to me you'll probably lose all your friends...
Keep it up, cos. Keep being yourself and post how it comes. My comments were not meant to be critical, just communicative. I really do admire a lot of your work.
As far as losing friends, people who are my friends know I'm independent minded and respect me for that. I left the schoolyard behind decades ago. I have a lot of friends on the Internet, all of them respectable and respected…just as they respect me. The rest…well, they own that problem, I don’t.
Seems I'm a little "shell-shocked" after a life of extreme pain... All I've ever got in my life from humes has been bullied nearly daily.. so now I expect it, even when they're trying to be nice... I found that their nice means they are about to try to hurt me...
The only respect I know, and have ever known, is the respect I give to nature and her critters, and to the cosmic critters I've met...
I never ever got any respect from humes, ever, and now I don't want any from humes... It always comes with a big price, and a lot of pain...
I have no friends, and never did, but from in the animal kingdom... Seems every wild critter I meet instantly bonds with me... I think I'll keep it that way, although I would like to teach a hundred potentially extremely intelligent warrior babes how to join me in the afterlife.. then I'll shut off my heart for the last time, and get out of this crazy hell on earth... That's just about all I've got left to do here, except be a good friend to this sweetheart native princess, and to my mum in making her last days good ones....
I've all but given up on the lab... Humanity seems to have lost all grasp of reality... America's messing with a baby "Bigfoot" is the end of humanity, and the end of all life on this planet, and I just can't make them see the light... It seems America is totally absolutely insane... They've made money into a mental disease...
These "interesting posts" are just me in process of attracting those hundred warrior babes who intend to live forever.. but they must be made of love, or I don't want anything to do with them in the slightest, and they can just remain in this human hell...
I am pleased that you enjoy my posts, and hope you get something from them to evolve your personal self... I hope you can do something with the data, to help the cause, being to crush and destroy the three greatest insane evils on this planet.. money, democracy and religion...
I still wish I had a lab to build some of these technologies in, but I'm just beginning to forget little things, and I'm bored with life to the ninth... Maybe it's too late for me to get a lab now..?
Maybe humanity just forfeited all this technology by lack of interest..? None of it is on paper, nor in a computer.. It's all only in my head... When I goes, it goes, and everybody on earth loses bigtime...
Or maybe I'm just a little stressed from the recent assassins and robbers I've had to deal with this week...
I just don't feel friendly anymore these days.. sorry... Maybe tomorrow my happy will return.. but right now there is way too much anger on my plate for me to even try to be nice... Maybe I'm running out of things I wanted to release to humanity... I can't tell them anymore.. if I did they would likely hurt Life with it... Seems I've said just about everything I wanted to say to humes.. and it did absolutely nothing to change anything to the better; rather it only made things worse, by "stirring their great religious and democracy toilet"...
I know I'm a great "philosopher", and the next greatest scientist, even if no one else can see it.. and I know what I could have done to do things politically right, but I'm really not interested in playing it their crazy ways... This culture's ways suck at best... I don't believe in them a billion times more than they don't believe in me... If they could see themselves from my perspective, they would probably cry, and die...

I don't hang out with people that constantly gripe, whine, bitch, moan, pout and impose their negative energy in my space. Not exactly what I call a "friend."

I have noticed a couple of people sticking up for him, though, over the past couple of months - maybe not exactly "friends", admittedly, but they were still there..

I've played with CosmicB and he "says" he will block me but I highly doubt he does. I've taken up for him too. Either way, he's a grumpy ole fart. I have read a few of his post that were very nice.... Come to think of it, one was about talking with the animals and the other was on indigenous people. He is an entertaining poster. Just wish his posts weren't so freaking looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong.
I've got an absolutely exciting account of how, when , and where, a north american first nations native shaman created a real dinosaur using his mind ans some extremely rare sorcery...
To make the long story short.. The shaman was 111 years old, and he knew a lot about magic, and he did a lot of exciting things...

Interesting, I'd like to hear about this shaman.
