Stood and watched the whole thing myself and have spoken with several involved.
New bit of totty in ATC and as a sweetener too try and loosen elastic someone had his mate come over from good old cotters and give her a turn in the dual cab.
Believe it may have been a recruitment drive also. Seeing as their willing to take convicted (but honest i'm reformed) types on the Police Commision over in NI, I believe due to the shortage of Harrier Aircrew they are now opening an RAF / Army recruiting office at 'the Shop Front'. Previously mentioned ac was part of the opening ceremony.
Aledgedly.
