BBC NEWS | Business | F22 Raptor wows Farnborough
Does anyone inside the BBC even have the faintest idea about aviation? 
Edit: It's now been corrected - hurrah!
The F22 Raptor fighter jet took to the skies at the Farnborough air show. The US army aircraft is made by Lockheed Martin, and is arguably the world's most sophisticated fighter jet.

Mayor's inspection
Slightly off thread I know but isn't that Robbie Williams on the left of the pic provided by exscribbler ? I know he's not selling many records but come on....
On a more serious note - great thread chaps esp wg13 dummy's relentless and deadly accurate 155mm !

Champagne anyone...?
Awesome - I'd forgotten about this thread! 
Quite pleased to see that, as usual, a mild ribbing has led to the usual coronaries and apoplexy I've come to expect from Pprune of late - good drills girls, keep up the fretting.
No one even would begin to suggest that aircrew and techies are the masters of millinerial elegance however you must admit that some of those berets do just look daft..... Not cool, not ally, just daft.

I'll have you know some of us techies were picked as tg1 due to our inability to look smart. Our natural brilliance and technical abilities were obviously ignored.
When you have sooties and riggers doing the heavy and dirty work all the time, don't expect them to look like the QCS. Ever.
Less time in uniform = more time in denims maintaining the "master race's" chariots.
