Not sure if I anyone has picked up on this.

In particular:

"Prime Minister Tony Blair has praised the RAF’s Typhoon – and looks forward to flying in it later this year."

Surely our beloved PM has more pressing engagements, if not maybe he should jump in a chinook and check out a nice sandy holiday resort in the middle east.

To me, it reads as though he wants a ride in a tanker:

He also talked of plans to replace the RAF’s ageing fleet of VC10 and Tristar transport aircraft. “The finance is there for it and the package is being put together,” he added. “One of these days I hope to get a chance to fly in one.”


Well if Bliar is on to it, FSTA must be about to be signed:E

There was once a PM called Blair,
Who committed his troops everywhere,
What a fool he did look
When PVR they all took
And the cupboard was finally bare..
