Topic : Jet dives etc., rant about the US

As in pom vernacular, what a load of b*ll*cks...

It's becoming tiresomely obvious who has an axe to grind with the US- most of them putative allies.

As a former RAF pilot I know of plenty such incidents caused by our own 'chaps'. And whilst, but for the grace of whoever, I did not manage to cause such things (that I'm aware of), impromptu displays/'buzzing' were as much a part of brit ops as anyone else,including the Italians whose politicians disingenuously made such a stink over a horrific accident.

Get a grip, and s*rew the jingoist whiners.Wish I could be more diplomatic like West Coast, but his always rational postings as usual won't penetrate.
