Thumbs down Pointless Pointy Thing

Just leave it in the desert!!!!
Perhaps some ill cat (think about it chaps) could saw the wings off and go for a land-speed record one day.

After all, it's not of any use in any deserts to the East!

Furthermore, it's already served it's purpose - i.e. a vehicle to transfer taxpayers' money from the Defence Budget into the BAE coffers. Oh, and possibly, aledgedly, a few quid into a certain Arab Prince's "entertainment budget".

But of course BAE will be doing the mending, so they get paid yet again for fixing the pointless pointy thing.

By the way; any votes for there NOT having been a golden-gloved wonder-pilot at the controls believing that he (or she!) was better than the wisdom of the GPWS?
