I know it's your home, Beags, but I'm afraid BZN has to go. I learnt at a very early age that it was better (more fuel efficient) to take my military jet over or round than through, and now as a civilian driver, even going round can cause unbelieveable heartache - Benson and Lyneham, on the other hand, have always given a good service.
On another subject, why are we still knocking the Jag. I know I used to, even as a driver of said machines, but it wasn't until I had the pleasure of several other (so-called superior) fast jets, both French and British that I realised how good (relatively) the Jaguar was. Now with the -106 engine ( I remember watching in awe as Bob Mason got one of our -102 engined jets off the Coltishall runway in 1970 something in just 4500ft with 8 x 1000 pounders on board) and the new avionic suit, what's the problem?
