Not intentionally, but it is usually necessary to remind visitors that waterskis aren't allowed on the mountain.

Well both Indian (in a way) and Germany where enemies barely 20 years ago. Australia is just grumpy because GB didnt bother to go with Commonwealth products.

Similar rumblings from Canuckistan.

Heh, the German trade embargo is on Canada, the lack of trade between Australia and Germany is entirely of Australia's own making.

Consider it sampling the "enemies" good so you can have a good counter to them at a later date. Contracting out to the Commonwealth to counter these products comes later.

Of course Australia will try to twist the truth and make it look as if Germany started the "lack of trading" mess and that Australia is the 'innocent' victim.

The Força Aérea Brasileira inquires as to the possible availability of the Boulton Paul Defiant (as opposed to Defiant class torpedo boats...) for export.

Acctually I think we can blame Japan/Chosen/Formosa for their naval buildups which prompted Canada/Australia to exploit a loophole to leave the treaty.

Could I have some information on the following please?

-R102 airship
-Army mechanisation
-Next generation fighters (Spitfires?)

If R102 is the ship planned historically http://www.aht.ndirect.co.uk/airships/R102/Index.html
If she uses Canadian helium then she'll need to be a bit bigger.

Pretty well the historical R102, though with Napier Culverin engines.

For now, the army's mechanisation isn't anything too dramatic, mostly replacing horses with trucks where possible, and buying some trucks for the infantry. For now, the cavalry will be using tanks similar to the A9.

The main result of the future fighter program will be cannon-armed fighters, probably with Spitfires or something similar coming out as an interim.
