For those in need of some light entertainment, have a read of the increasingly delusional Sharkey Ward's blog on the Tornado's contribution to Op ELLAMY; Sharkey appears to have turned environmentalist and is outraged by the fuel consumption of the recent missions:

Sharkey's World

He also appears to have a naval logistician buddy called Grand Logistics who makes more of the same points throughout a series of poorly-researched blogs; at least his numbers are pulled from Google, and not out of his @rse like Sharkey's:

grandlogistics.blog-spot.com/2011/03/royal-air-force-tornados-bomb-libya.html

(Link won't work automatically; cut-and-paste the address and delete the hyphen between the words "blog" and "spot")

Sharkey seems to have an audience in certain corners of the press so it's a good job some commentators have rebutted his rantings. Seriously, FAA chaps - he is embarrassing you now, someone tell him to stop before his claptrap gets published in the press and he gets ridiculed!
