Devil Hermaphrodite or what ???
The esteemed gentleman from EADS/CASA happily jests about the "dual role" capability of the A330 MRTT, as well he might - I wonder what the Spanish for "Lucky Pierre, in ze middle again" is ...


Just passing through ...


PS. For those who favour "Atlas" for the A400M's name, don't forget the US has a very useful rocket of that name ... "Euratlas" might "do", or "Eurolifter"perhaps, but the
"Eur-" bit would frighten off the UKIP-inclined among us. Surely, with all the cuts on their way, the members of the MoD's Aeroplane Naming Committee must be quivering in their boots at the prospect of a sudden redundancy anyway???
