There's Casement and Gormanstown used be used, can't think of any other bases the Air Corps used. If the P31 class had worked out they would have had helicopters based in Cork but that never worked out.

Nice to see, hopefully not long before you can do the new PC-12's, and the 295's that are coming.

Have you had a look on Safehaven's sites, they've had plenty of images of Magpie as she's been built in Cork.

In terms of the Arrowhead I wonder if the current limitations of the hangar might rule it out, with Merlin's not fitting? Though perhaps the UK would just stick with Wildcat and a UAV for them if picked?

As far as more complex weapons go i imagine that the PDMS will be the converted Seawolf cells ripped directly from the T23s rather then the new build system planned for the T26s. And if any Anti-ship missile is fitted it will be the same tired old block one Harpoon that the T45s and T23s carry. Tho...

As to what the T31s will eventually look like, i imagine that in a futile attempt to keep down costs they will end up using as many systems ripped from the outgoing T23s as possible, so Artisan radar, 30mm Close in guns, a number of CAMM-N. The savings will probably come from deleting any "new" equ...

Depends entirely on how much capability they can crowbar into 250 million, and if the other shipyards are as big a ripoff merchant as BAES is. Plus their plan to buy a bunch of ships with the intention of selling them onto other navies and then order a second batch for the RN seems a little sketchy...

it will likely be Glasgow Belfast Coventry London Manchester Cardiff Sheffield and when the Type 31 is inevitably axed in two years time and about 2 billion in wasted taxpayer funds in favour of 3-4 more GP T26s Newcastle Birmingham Southampton Would that be an issue with the current Belfast?
