  1. Thanks, Ron. There's a few lines in Shakespeare's "Henry V" about how gentlemen now abed in England will hold their manhood cheap, because they weren't at the battle. That's me. I was the right age but not in the forces. I wish I'd been there. The risks of death, amputation, burning or drowning would be a throw of the dice. You did good work, sir, and I'm jealous.

  3.  @guinnog2  From memory, the Jaguar was intended to be carrier-capable for the French Navy. I don't know whether the French Jaguars actually served from carriers. The British Jaguars weren't carrier-capable.
