That's YOU british that do everything different from the rest of the world!  :rolleyes:  
Here in France we 've named our railway station from a victory (Austerlitz).
And you gave this London square the name of a defeat (Trafalgar).
No logic...  :lol:  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Yes, but can you get a train from the Austerlitz rail station in France to the preserved Austerlitz battle site and museum in the Czech Republic? :P

:huh:  In Denmark railway stations are named after the city/town it is located in :huh:  (except the airport in copenhagen, thats Kastrup ;) )

That doesn't work so well if you have 6 railway stations in one city.

Not wishing to be pedantic, my French friend, (and i may have misunderstood your post) but Trafalgar was a victory for us, and a decisive one at that, against a larger force of combined French and Spanish warships.  It was the last for our greatest naval officer, Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson ( the bloke on the column, "Nelson's column", in the middle of Trafalgar Square).   27 Royal Navy ships  fought 37 French and Spanish ships, destroying 22 and losing none of their own in the process.  Hardly a defeat for the English...for France and Spain perhaps, but not us.

does anyone have an idea of a colour scheme for a raf vip concorde?

Quotedoes anyone have an idea of a colour scheme for a raf vip concorde?
:tornado:
My first thoughts would be:

- A scheme similar to that used by the BAe 146s of the Queen's Flight
- Some version of "Raspberry Ripple"
- A cross of the current scheme for uncamoflaged RAF transports, if one still exists, or the last such used and the BA scheme with the partial Union Jack on the tail

I'm sure others will have further suggestions, here.

its going to have to be between the queens flight marking or the transport with the union jack
