Not exactly stealthy is it? :)
Lets hope it doesn't automatically head for Woomera

a certain French Fighter squadron c. 1970 had a demi official badge of a rampant winged set of family jewels [meat and two veg] which they used as a zap when visiting NATO airbases. Guetersloh was festooned with them c. 1969. The one on the Met. Office shutters was preserved, because I whipped the shutter off when the SWO's jankers wallahs were going round the station overpainting them.
Hid it behind SMetO's cupboard for display to visiting dignitaries.
Who has it now, I wonder?
