News reaches sleepy Farnborough, that a certain now possibly Ex Eurofighter test pilot at Warton, went out with a bit of a show with a fresh off the line production aircraft last week. A good beat up of Lancashire I understand!
Any one know more???????

He was only doing his job.Apparently some prospective clients were watching hence why he put on "a show" but the office wallahs didn't approve. The T/P concerned is a pleasure to watch when displaying and has gone on record as to state that he has complete faith in the machine.

Any idea where this saga has got to - surely there has to be more ??

What happened was, I gather, that he did two unsupervised, unauthorised and unapproved displays quite spontaneously, one over Warton and one over Samlesbury which is closed to air traffic. As a result, his MoD test pilot's licence was suspended and he is now working in another part of the BWoS organisation.
This thread was, I think, subsequently followed up in the Military Aircrew Forum.

Can it be true what they're saying - that the Dee Eff O was Peter Principled some time wayback ??
