Just interested. If you let off two heat seeking missiles, one after the other, does the second one home in on the exhaust of the first?

Way too much sag in those telephone wires, very shoddy workmanship.

Do you think the RAF PR people have seen this?

"Well Sir, it looks stunning visually and would no doubt appeal to lots of people.

However, I did have a really good idea for a display thingy at Abingdon .....
