Was it something I said?
Or are you just a single issue obsessive, with a sense of humour removal? Maybe it's the scars from the 70s where many RAF stations were covered in naval aircraft imposed on the RAF?
If BAe have undertaken Typhoon N studies with a nose tow (no sane person would go for a fuselage tow these days) I hope it was of better quality than the EF2000 work.
I bow to superior knowledge on the Hornet / Venom question however.
Ho hum....
