To be honest I thought it was all boll*x when I saw the headline in Ireland on Sunday [which was pretty "green" before the daily mail takeover] saying that Leuchars had F3s about, presumably keeping an eye on DUB which tv reporters have exposed as somewhat lax in the security dept. [although no news to subscribers to the Irish Av BB]

But then the Star [owned by our Knight of the Realm Sir Tony of Heinz55] joined in... strange bedfellows I thought. I would certainly think they would be guarding routes to MAN or Sellafield rather than Dublin central.

That last is not a feeler in case some F3 driver thinks I want operational info to be discussed - this is merely speculation on what the press are claiming.

If we do buy interceptors it'll be whatever Mr. Inside Track at Atron is selling...
