Now that is funny!:
For the BAe146 at takeoff thrust, standing directly behind the aircraft is thought to be similar to holding your girlfriend's hairdryer in your face but with an oily smell...
Interestingly, a large structure flies off the Mondeo. I suspect it must be the rear bumper. I have observed that the Mondeo rear bumper is possibly the weakest and worst design on the roads today (usually lying beside the road). I was shocked to see what a broken one was made of- it appears to be polystyrene foam with a thin vinyl plastic skin. Beautifully colour matched to the car, but as much use as a chocolate ashtay on a motorbike. No wonder they come off so easily, and no wonder I will never buy a Ford!
