Maybe he's just realised how appalling the PRU Splasticfire looks with that drooping tail?

Is there NO pride left in the RAF? For heaven's sake, get it fixed - frankly it's an acute embarassment looking like that.

Can you imagine an Army gate guard cannon with a drooping muzzle? Or HMS Victory with a bent mast?

Anway, it looks like you had a great day out - some nice photos!

Sorry, Mr Brown hasn't allocated the couple of quid to fund that huge project yet... he has spent it all on feeding 20 world leaders at No.10.

Looks like the classic movie shot of someone coming out of a door with someone behind with a gun........either that or he has realised all the donuts he promised to his colleagues have been eaten.

Missing WAAF

Those expressing disappointment at the sagging tailplane on the Benson 'Spitonastick' are totally misinformed - it is in fact a tribute to Margaret Horton and shows its status following landing after she became known as the WAAF who failed to remove herself in time from a Spitfire taxying out for an airtest and hence gained a little 'flying time'. Original aircraft now with BoB Flight, so the colour scheme is wrong and the 'body' is missing, but that's it - blow-up doll anyone?

Nice pictures, though why has the Wessex got that silly corporate 'Royal Air Force' logo on the door? Its hardly 'period'.

Are they going to slap them all over the BBMF aircraft too?
