Poking a hi-speed drogue in Albert at night can be a bit challenging, but once stuck is quite easy to stay on.
Conversely, getting prodded in the head with a stiff boom is relatively easy, but staying there can be a challenge
carry on film double entendre overload..

On a related note - are those lovely big round globes (ooh err, not again) gonna be flown LL?? They are tactical after all arent they?

HCE,

They do LL twice per sortie (mostly) 1: Take-off 2: Land.


At least that is what you can tell the icecream licking public.
