Validaire Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 This is the formal shop floor of the Validairean Armoury - Masters of Air and Ground warfare. In this dangerous world, where tin-pot dictatorships reign free and unhindered by international boundaries and consciences, it is essential to maintain a defence force to resist the evil land-grabbing nature of the region's less-enlightened nations. During the any Wars, the Validairean Air Force is thrust into the spotlight. It was here that all the Armoury aircraft would have to perform in order to serve the people of Wales. Our products did not disappoint- bringing down upwards of 30 Enemy aircraft, and up to 50 cruise missiles, for the loss of only 17 of our own aircraft. More remarkable than that was the 90% successful, survivable ejection rate that has made Validairean aircraft famous the region over. But don't just listen to us. Validairean pilots have praised our aircraft before, during and after the Burgundinian conflict! "I owe my life to the F-270 Firebrand." Group Captain Peter ap Dafydd, of No. 6 Squadron, said to us. "I was hit by an AIM-9 sidewinder whilst on operations during the Burgundinian War. All my senses told me to eject while I still had the chance, but the sturdy brick (Validairean pilot's often refer to the Firebrand as the brick due to it's combat survivability) kept on flying and got me home safe and sound. My wife and son owe my life to the Firebrand. What an aircraft to fly..." The Firebrand was later discovered to have almost lost her port wing from number 2 ordinance station. The Burgundinian conflict has allowed the Validairean Armoury to gain combat experience and evaluation of her types. The feedback from the pilots themselves is extremely favourable. The F-023 Nephilim is described by senior test pilots from the former Great Britannia and Wales as more responsive than the Su-47, whilst maintaining the stability to be a lethal gun platform. Weapon response is also described as ?excellent? by the Britannic Air Force Senior Test Pilot; Douglas Bader. Currently, the Validairean Armoury has an offer that may appeal to those clients who may run on a tight budget. There are large discounts for those who order War Weary (WW) aircraft from us. This will basically entail an aircraft currently serving in the W.A.F will be flown to us, given a service, sprayed in a colour scheme of your choosing, and dispatched to you. The saving of this scheme will be 20%. So if an airframe costs 10,000,000 Pounds, by ordering a WW aircraft you will in fact pay a mere 8,000,000 Pounds. WHAT A SAVING! To order WW aircraft please indicate that fact with WW before the number and type of aircraft. As Wales is a proud member of the Socialist Alliance Treaty Organisation, the United Federation of Peace and Fair Trade, and also of the Britannic Commonwealth, we have pleasure in announcing that purchases by members of these alliances are also subject to a discount of 10%, allowing our trusted allies the ability to defend themselves for less. All prices are indicated in Pounds, which are 1.2 Euros. We sincerely hope that you enjoy looking through our catalogue, and we hope that you will be suitably impressed by both our low prices and combat capability.
