France24 - Common carriers for France and Britain 'utterly unrealistic'

AFP - France and Britain announced Friday they are talking about sharing the cost of military aircraft programmes, but rejected reports that they plan to merge their aircraft carrier fleets.

"In terms of actually being able to share an aircraft carrier, I would have thought that that was utterly unrealistic," British Defence Minister Liam Fox told reporters after talks with his French counterpart Herve Morin.

"But when it comes to pooling assets in other areas such as strategic or tactical lift I would have thought that that was a different case altogether," he added, referring to military transport planes and helicopters.

Good god! coming together to buy something thats actually useful! Or hoping it all screws up so neither gets it.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
