Dave B - the funniest remark so far?

[John Farley]

From time to time I write articles etc. My proof reader is a 70 year old lady who knows nothing about aeroplanes but whose grammar is immaculate. She sent me this yesterday:

You can’t have a Lightning II. Especially when THE Lightning had a red hot exhaust and was quite attractive and this thing looks like it should come down your street sucking out the drains.


As the saying goes I had to share this with you.

[Martin the Martian]

I like this lady. Can I adopt her as my gran?

[TomJoad]

Simply brilliant, she sounds like a sharp cookie:D:D:D

[air pig]

Maybe she's telling the truth, ACMs take note.

[Willard Whyte]

Nah, THE Lightning was an attractive multi-role twin-prop built by Lockheed.

[Ali Barber]

She's brilliant!

[Lima Juliet]

I agree this is the ORIGINAL Lightning...

SEE COFF'S PICTURE BELOW (Damn iPhones - I can't cut and paste the URL either!) - thank you, Sir, you are a gent...

All others are just wannabees! :ok:

[LowObservable]

She should probably stay well clear of the fankiddy boards.

[NutLoose]

Resize the damn thing

[Lima Juliet]

Nutty

Can't resize on my iphone! :ugh:

Always wondered why they had a yoke on the Lightning instead of a stick. Wouldn't feel right poling one around on a yoke although they obviously managed.

[NutLoose]

Thanks, that's a better picture anyway, the other could have wallpapered my living room it was so big :)

Here you go Leon ... use my host URL on your original post for a resize and I'll then amend this post and stand-down mate :ok:

Mr Farley, Sir,

What a wonderful, and perceptive, lady your proof reader is.

THE Lightning is a vertical twin jet.

[54Phan]

Oh John, thank you for sharing! That description is just hilarious.

[CoffmanStarter]

Now wouldn't it be amusing if the F35 were to become known as "The Rod" (like Tonka, Tiffy etc.) as a result of this little ditty. So that's Rod as in Lightning Rod or Dyno Rod :E
