Then there were the civi police at Brize that phoned us up several days after the event to tell us they had caught some chap taking potshots at the VC10's on finals with his air rifle and would it be of any interest to us..
They coudn't even be time specific and it resulted in us checking the whole fleet, some of which were down route
Except it was neither of them Wenslydale, but a Hawk, dragging nothing but the pilot through the air.
So come WW3 when we launch our unarmed submarines, deploy out aircraftless Carriers, all the Russians need to do is deploy a few dozen spotters onto the thresholds and the RAF will also cease to operate also... God bless the Army... unless they lose their ammo under Health and Safety Left wing lunacy.
