I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Soddim, can't disagree there. I know the Tornado was spectacularly accurate compared with the F111 with high level scores on the RBS ranges, so good that they were only invited once to the Giant Voice competition IIRC.

Now we know how good an RBS score was.

As you say the practice bombs scores were also a bit iffy. I have a picture in my log book of a direct hit on the raft at Epi. The bomb burst and splash were quite spectacular but had it been a 1000lb bomb and a tank the tankers would have had nothing to worry about.
