    @ThePyroPython @thehatfox The Vulcans were not useful the first time, and they have been scrapped for a very long time.

    There are Eurofighter Typhoons based there, with plenty more able to get there in hours (the Typhoon has Mach 1.5 supercruise and a long ferry range, just take off a tanker from Mount Pleasant to meet them with more fuel en route).

    Given the Typhoons can carry bombs as well as being air superiority fighters, the RAF would not need to dust off anything.

      OK, so maybe you can explain this, many things all over western Canada are naned for “Mount Pleasant”, a cemetery in Swift Current, a neighborhood in Vancouver, it pops up all over, and no one seems to know why, what or anything about the term, from old timers to Google.
