NATO and Europe!

 Dwindling Forces?

Without the back up of the United States, ie paying the bills of other peoples wars and the U.K. talking about supporting the Ukraine, when we and many of them have nothing to keep going for a few months? 

One finds it hard to believe that our government still has the clout to think we are a world key power, when we have been cutting back our own armed forces for the last twenty-five years!

It is easy to believe that the U.S. will back us up, but with the anti-Israel situation, we have lost curry favor already with the Donald.

Submarines and forces in Estonia may look good to the media, but when facing the Russian bear, many lives will be lost and this proud moment will lead to more memorials and duties for the British royal family to keep going???

No Air shows this Year!

COVID-19 cancels large Crowds?

This new crown virus is ending social interaction for us humans, unless one is ignorant and risks catching it or just does not believe that it is really real!

Sometimes one finds that over the years here in Swansea since 2007 the Wales National Air Show has become a bit boring with nearly the same aircraft and displays showing up or not?

But then it is free and when events are free, one does not get to see the best of aviation on the ground and in the air! Making these shows more of a recruiting ground for the armed forces wither you like that or not?

The Value of Exhibitions, Display and Shows.

Moving and Static.

We are only a few days away now from the Swansea Bay Airshow, July 11-12th. This British Armed forces backed airshow and static displays is held every second year and draws thousands of people to the beautiful Swansea Bay and Gower coastline in southern-Cymru/Wales. United Kingdom.

This is one of many airshows and exhibitions that will take place across the world to show off new and old or vintage technology. These shows, displays are invaluable and need to continue for many obvious reasons of recruitment and business, trade.

The Swansea Bay airshow is made up of flying displays, parachuting and various static vehicles and aircraft. Regulars are the Red Arrows acrobatic display team comprising nine BAE Systems Hawk Jets, SAR Sea king Helicopter, Royal Naval Black Cats Lynx Helicopter display and fast Jets, along with surprise visits of what is available transport or other.

Many other airshows in the U.K. and around the world have a paid entry fee to see a fixed booked collections of aircraft and vehicles and their are many specialist trade events to show off everything from Automobiles to yachts, Aircraft to Ships,
