OK, it's from the Daily Mail, but it made me laugh.

Hard-up RAF flies second-hand jets in US air force colours to save £3million cost of repainting them in British colours | Mail Online
The last line of that report did make me laugh:

When 51 Squadron personnel begin operating UK Rivet Joint aircraft they will wear RAF flying suits.
Is this something we should be getting excited about? Is somebody in line for a promotion or an OBE for that stunning decision? I think the noise that kept disturbing my concentration as I was reading the article was the sound of the bottom of the barrel being scraped.
