From the Leuchars thread..
My civilian version of the story is as follows. Please correct me.
Eurofighter design agreed
UK MOD decides they don't want a gun
UK Eurofighters to be fitted with concrete in space for gun
Concrete wrong density for Centre of Gravity
mmm
Need a metal type thingy with same characteristics as original gun
Realise that gun might be best gun-shaped metal type thingy
But in light of No Gun Policy Decision...
Buy gun, but make it unfireable and decide to buy no ammunition for gun-shaped metal thingy
I retell this story as true.
Please tell me that I haven't been lying
