Pollock knew that he was throwing away his flying career and made the most of that last flight, but his respect for the RAF's history outweighed all that - personally I admire him, if that makes me a bad person so be it. I think a nice shiny new Tranche 3 Typhoon flying through the bridge on the 100th anniversary is just what the country needs right now, it may also remind Londoners that this is still Britain. Anyway can you even get 4 drop tanks on a Typhoon ?
On a side note, does anyone know what became of Flt Lt Pollack after the RAF discharged him ?
