I was recently reading about the Nimrod Plane and discovered according to the BBC website that they are from the 1960's. Now I don't get why a country like ours is still using 47 year old Planes which are having all sorts of problems. So should we update our military or is it pretty much useless nowadays because Trident will be the force that would ultimatly save us.
I personally think the billions we give to the EU should go to, updating the army, navy and airforce, also updating Trident, building new hospitals and schools and lowering taxes.
The Nimrod aircraft has a history of fuel-related leaks

We have the second largest military expeniture in the world but we're still outdated, at least we're getting some F-35s in to replace the old Harriers which are totally outdated.

Due to so much money, they could do as I said, then take some money off taxes as they would have some left over, then annually the money that would of went to EU could lower taxes. Originally Posted by Virgin Mary
