My System: IDD CI24 ECONO MM Penta 1.20 Galaxy II 1.2Mtr Polar MTG yes it has been on the arc for 21 years and is still driven by a modified wiper motor from a Ford Anglia. It's like me sometimes groans but always performs  Saved us from the black plague of ignoratio elenchi, he awaits a special badge with jugs |
I would suggest that the whole saga was a distraction technique to take attention away from other matters, but I doubt the Iranians have got away with it, time will tell

My System: Technomate 1500CI+ with Gilbertini 1m dish, MTI quad lnb, Dragon cam Cerebro card, Dynamite programmer, Skystar2, Full Bouquet Art Sports | The waterway has been disputed for decades with Iran claiming it to be theirs & Iraq claiming it to be theirs also. Not that it matters anymore because we only had 2 boats in the area to carry out these operations.......... & Iran is holding on to them! I like the way British commanders have suspended operations pending an investigation, without any boats we never really had a choice did we At least we have our own diplomatic channels open now & don't have to rely on false yankee intelligence. | ||
