The RAF's flight trial at Longleat did not go well as Hoskins headed directly towards the Lion enclosure....

Unforecast strong winds played havoc with Upper Quimbleby Grammar's Air Cadets "Battle of Britain" reenactment.

"It's all to do with the government's 'sustainable energy' policy - our new single-seat fighter is fuelled exclusively by the vast excess of hot air produced by the Ministry of Defence," an RAF spokesman said, wiping a trickle of Donut jam from his chin.

A young RAF jock called Prune
Flew the new Mk 3 aircraft Typhoon
"I know I'm not armed"
"But I'll not be harmed"

MOD Public Relations Officials refute Reports of "The Balloon Going Up" and indicated the RAF was not engaging in Aerial Combat Operations. Officials opined such Reports were just a lot of Hot Air!
