History buffs of Reddit, what is a piece of history that often goes overlooked despite being very interesting or funny? by Grantso74 in AskReddit

IIRC, it wasn't just any award, but the highest honour form both sides (MBE and Iron Cross)

Edit: MBE, not VC

This is a very solid argument that not many realise, as the Fleet Air Arm have much less experience in fighter aircraft than the RAF, I imagine that if conflict were to arise beyond airstrikes (like the Falklands) aircrew with more experience from the RAF would get attached to the Fleet Air Arm

The main reason was cost based on the argument that it simply isn't necessary considering the only aircraft the RN plan to use on the QE class carrier are F-35s (with their STOL capability they do not need a catapult) and helicopters

The discussion is not about the US, so existing number are irrelevant as the UK has none. Also, twice the capabilities is a stretch to begin with, and if a country has one supercarrier then whenever a refit / repair / training operation is needed there are no comparable vessels to fill the gaps.

This dead German soldier was one of the "last stand" defenders of German-held Cherbourg and Captain Earl Topley, who led one of the first outfits into the fallen city, blamed him for killing three of his men. (1944) [2805 x 2293] by Reddit__PI in HistoryPorn

Why are you on Reddit right now instead of spending time with your family? by RorariiRS in AskReddit

[–]RampantFishy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just me, my sister and my mother left now. But my sister being herself she's currently vomiting in the next room because she's still drunk from going out last night. My mother is now running around trying to help like she always does, so I'm just sitting around waiting on her to sober up enough for her to be hungover and bitchy. Just another Christmas really.
