See, the difference is, you were already in place when i came in, so i didnt even think of it. I apologize profusely (but am still gonna argue you should have invited me to dinner)
. Alright, mayhaps i will invite you to dinner as well, then we can have a dialogue. Your official invitation will be forthcoming, and then i think we can, between the three of us, post something in character in the future.quicky
OOC: Oh no! They killed Kenny!

OOC: I am sane.... I've got a not and everything!!
btw Addy hows the sub tech, I've been experimenting with putting 3 subs with a CTF to increase its offensive capability.

24 hours for ignoring a couple of warnings, no big deal

OOC: IIRC it's still at III, but I guess I could bump it up to the post-escorts in priority.
Sorry guys, there has been a couple of glitches with my ISP. I'll get something up in a day or so. Hopefully it will include some interesting stuff....... who knows?!?

Subjet: Improved Carrier Design
At the start of this project we tendered to conduct a comprehensive review and reassessment of carrier design. In additition, through our Short and Harland Limited aircraft division, we are developing and designing new aircraft to operate from these Improver Carriers. As the First Sea Lord is no doubt aware this is a not inconsiderable undertaking and much more complex than merely 'fixing design flaws'.
If the Admiralty is unhappy with the speed of progress and wishes to change contractor we will, of course, turn over our existing design studies on payment of the balance of our contract. However we feel duty bound to point out that none of our competitors can match the depth and bredth of technical knowledge and that any interuptions at this stage of the process would have a disproportionately negative impact on the completion date.
We believe that we are into the home stretch of this project and many items are due to undergo testing and inital trials within the next few weeks. With this in mind we would like to attend an invitation to the First Sea Lord, and any other officers he may wish to bring along, to tour our facilities, see for themselves the progress we have made and observe the first trial of the new aircraft.
Yours,
Sir Frederick Rebbeck

OCC: I thought I'd join in from an underused angle. It's all well and good everyone demanding new tech now, but what about the poor blighters who have to make it hey?
In any case I couldn't let a great firm such as H&W be talked to like that without reply could I?

Don't get me started on this subject....... you wouldn't like the five post diatribe that followed. All I will say is that I am ashamed for my country.

1 March 1937
Cabinet Office
Neville sat there going through the figures for the month. The two that were of real interest to him were the productivity indicators and the government approval ratings.
Productivity was up, the rating the Economists had provided was 118. This was up on last month and was a sign of the benefits of his cabinet reshuffle. Neville knew he was a strong financial manager and he took these improved figures for granted, the other ones he considered much more important.
The party had not been as successful during the Parliamentary sittings and Neville was concerned for the approval rating he had held over the New Year Period. He was therefore surprised when they were still very high. Dissent to the government was estimated at only 5.17% Neville pondered over the reasons why. The events in Spain had all been poor and the Opposition had landed some blows in drawing the attention of the press to the increased aggression of the Nazis and the Italians. Although Neville was sure he could handle these two nations and push them back into line with his policies he had to admit that the Opposition should have got more leeway with the public than they had managed.
Neville remained bemused but didn’t let it worry him overly. As long as the economic figures continued to improve and he could continue to increase the military he was sure that he could manage any situation that may arise. He initialled the document to show he had read it and put it away.

OOC: Febuary was a very boring month to play with only minor trade deals to keep me interested. Anyway, about time we started to move on a little bit……
Oh, and welcome to Pippy. A nice angle there mate! Give those stuck up Admiralty types what they deserve!
Cheers,

OOC:
Nice, I thought that post went unnoticed. I think in 1.2, or maybe 1.1, that research was scheduled to finish in Febuary, but something changed that will force the design to finish sometime mid year. Now if I really got new aircraft, as opposed to a Skua and recycled aircraft from the previous generation, the FSL would have no objections...but hey, he's military, not political. He hates delay.I think I'll get something IC up in reply to this later...hopefully tonight.
hehe how can the admiralty complain about getting new improved designs when the RAF is having trouble even researching the stuff - let alone improve our robust yet ageing air fleet
Whilst the Skua is perhaps not the world's finest plane in it's defence it:
1. Claimed the first allied air kill of the war
2. Got the Konigsberg, first german cap ship to be sunk
3. Was the first all metal monoplane in the FAA.
Besides with the USN flying the equally bad, possibly worse, SBC Helldiver as their dive bomber, this is about as state of the art as naval dive bombing gets. Indeed as the Skua has traded some bomb load for better offensive armament it's your first multi-role carrier aircraft. What a great leap forward!

Sir Addy I formaly request to be given leave to sail the Hood to Belfast and 'hurry 'em up'!
Nice reply... I suppose you'll be christened Pippy, welcome to the show.
btw... anybody else confused as they've re-arranged the smilies again!?!?
