From jumpseater on PpRune,

I like it!!!

There was a young man in his plane..
That landed at Bristol in rain..
He thought he might skid!
My god how he did!
And now the poor boys in Dunblane!

😀

Apologies if this has been mentioned/answered already in this thread, but I do not have the willpower to search 24 pages of posts!!
I remember seeing a prog (on Discovery?) a few years ago of the Breitling fighters in Holland, doing some breathtaking low passes along a canal. The one image that particularly sticks in my maind was the Spit flying so low, that it was below the level of the dykes either side of the canal. Imagine going for a walk and looking at the upper surfaces of a spit doing 200mph!!! Anyone know what programme it was and if any footage is available (dvd/online etc)?

As with all this govts thinking, they will have just one centralised NATO Air Base, where we lease aircraft from the US (because of our special relationship). The RN will consist of 2 converted cross channel ferries and a narrowboat called Sandpiper and will be based at a conveniently placed shore base in Tamworth (The canal will have to be widened to accomodate the ferries, £50m over budget and 3 years late of course). The Invasion/Terrorism hotline will be outsourced to Bangalore, where after reporting grenade wielding maniacs heading towards the NATO Central airbase at Booker Airfield, you will be offered a great new deal on a 3G phone.

(have picked up bexWH773 toys and thrown them myself, next please)

Not RAF graffiti, but gouged graffiti on the B24 in the AAM at Duxford was worrying.
