This flew over our rear garden this afternoon. Perhaps it was looking for the back passage to the Western Approaches.

It ain't called a cock-pit for nothing.

Nice link, good cause, but....!!

Hopefully our warships will remain battleship grey!

I said to the RAF pilot, "Could you kill a man?"

He puckered his lips and replied, "Eventually!"

Typical, ex-Navy so obviously you'd have to have some sort of comment about the RAF ;)

I do think the first two posts are a bit disrespectful though. The RAF have painted the aircraft to represent and support a very good cause, which has been mocked.

I assume it was said in jest, but even still I think it was a touch over the line.

Still prefer this to the invisible livery so widely embraced of late :sad:

Sooooo, the OP doesn't like a military aircraft painted in an eye catching scheme for publicity purposes, may not have recognised the RAFBF logo on the jet (which would partly give a clue as to why it carries the design) and gives the impression of being homophobic by the schoolboy standard "gay" references. Welcome to the 50's chappie.
