The BBC said earlier, that she specifically didn't want a 'RAF flyby'. Ok, fair enough, and you have to respect someone's wishes.

But, erm.. couldn't someone have a well, sort of.. navigation glitch at just the right moment? Maybe, lots of people with the same map issues. Maybe.. maybe, if there was a Spitfire over the South East, loitering, a Hurricane.. the Vulcan maybe too, a Herc, VC10 still kicking around, C-17, a Typhoon, Chinook Tornado etc.. all doing other really important military type stuff but if they all seemed to get lost at the wrong moment, and if they all found themselves in trail, trying to get a fix.. well, that would be absolutely dreadful and worthy of remedial training but probably not court martial stuff.

I will pass the Roberts cornmershop on the way to Coningsby tomorrow. I'm far too boring, unsentimental and English to give her a quick nod and an appreciative blast on the horn. But if I wasn't of course..
