Trailing some Tornadoes back from Saudi some years after the First Gulf War had finished, we heard Uncle Spam on Guard calling 'unidentified ac at position blah, identify yourselves'. We did so and were told 'This is R** C****, you are clear to proceed'. Well - pardon us for flying in international airspace with a properly filed flight plan, but what the hell has it got to do with you, Yank? You might be bobbing up and down on the briney in your big grey boat, but it's NOT your country! Anyway - just replied "You are absolutely right, we are indeed going to proceed on our flight plan and thank you for your interest. Good bye"
I am getting increasingly concerned at the risks everyone's going to be facing if George Dubya continues to blunder about the World using any possible excuse to bully people he doesn't like on the grounds of **** and at the way our New Labour poodle is behaving........
