So what is it then?

Talk about the Americans and their ‘friendly fire’ incidents… Looks like the Americans aren’t the only ones who dont know who’s operating what out there!

Look at this web site...

http://www.operations.mod.uk/telic/p...ry_ops_air.htm

Part way down there’s a photograph taken in the cockpit of a Tornado f3 viewed through NVG.

Yesterday, the title of the photograph was “A Tornado F3 refuels from a VC10 at night”… I was going to e-mail them to point out their ‘error’ but decided against it! Today it’s been changed… “A Tornado F3 refuels from a Tristar at night”. Maybe tomorrow they’ll get it right!

It’s (presumably) at Tornado F3 refuelling from a KC10! Since when did Tristars have American style booms for refuelling?

I suggest someone buy’s the MOD a copy of ‘Jane’s world aircraft’!

Come on boys…. Get a grip!!
