One conspiracy theory... Back in the day when the huge number of front line squadrons we had would send a couple of jets away for a weekends airshow. We were asked about our Tornado ADV.
"What does ADV stand for mister?"
"Not Air Display Variant, but Armageddon Delivery Vehicle!!!! Fitted with the latest Blue Circle radar. Shhh don't tell anyone".
cue... jaw dropped and they take a step back in awe.
