Could someone at Cottesmore ops..
.. please pass a message to the 3 Harrier pilots currently just to the south of Cottesmore at about 1000 feet?
Message starts.
I am watching you closely through my compact and light, yet high performance binoculars I received from those nice people at Octane magazine. I do not pay income tax simply to allow the likes of you to enjoy yourselves with a casual dissregard for others who may be watching. Grow up! Please stop it immediately and start showing those elderly airframes some respect or I shall have to tell the newspapers'.
Message ends.
Thank you.
PS: You had better be ready to change into blues when you land. It might go some way towards restoring public confidence in the RAF, you hooligans!

How could the Ops Staff be watching through their high powered binos? There are none in the office, and the windows are facing to the North...
You must always think throught your messages prior to transmitting...
If you really knew what the 3 jets were doing, you might change your mind...
Guess what 4 months a years is spent doing...

These blokes are rotating through Afghanistan at a ridiculous rate under enormous pressure to get everything else done in time to support that.
Frankly I don't care what they do, if it's pure fun they deserve it. If it's not (which, by the sounds of post #2, it is not) then put your nice bins down and go back to shouting at the TV, or whatever it is you normally do.

What happened to the binocular you liberated from that nice U-boat Captain in 1943? 
Anyway, Look North will be on soon and you can tell Christa all about those noisy aircraft.

.. do you think Crista heard it too? 
It is of little consequence. I shall assume that my barrage was received at a suitable level because the noise has now abated and the only sound to be heard is the cool Autumnal air drifting off the Water and playfully tugging at the hem of my sturdy but timeless winter coat.

To the 3 Harrier lads, if any of you read this, (Which I very much doubt but hey, never know). Just...If you can....Fly a little bit lower, faster & harder...Just to annoy the hell out of some people & their pussies, (Cats), you know the ones that like to complain just for the shear hell of it, the kind of people that sit down to watch Top Gear on a Sunday evening with a note pad & pen ready to write down something to complain about then send it into that miserable, crappy, waste of life, magazine with it's nasty bits of crap known as the TV Times the next week, or even worse, write, phone, email or whatever & moan to that show (If you can call it that) "Points Of View" that Mr & Misses Toffee Nose Middle Class Morons have time in their miserable little lives like to watch....Those silly breeds of humans.
Ohhh dear-o-dear....I'm beginning to sound just like "One Of Them". Top Gear is on soon so I'll be back to normal, nice-nice!
And also, to the Harrier chaps once again, come up to Newcastle, quayside area & put on a show for everyo.......ME, do a few loops, fly under the Tyne Bridge etc, please.........Ohhhh go on.....Pretty please? With a cherry on top!

Hi Beattie,
No you can keep those things, thanks.
I enjoy the sound of Harriers and was trying (badly) to be ironic. There have been many times I have tried for them to get even lower but thats another story. Round these 'ere parts we're very proud of the boys*, in fact - I was leaving the gym last week and was thrilled (yes, it might sound girly but I have a sensitive side too) to have been buzzed by The Reaper, the Spitfire and the Hurricane making their way home over a gloomy Rutland Water. Long may they all fill the air.
Sorry for any possible confusion.
* similar genders may also be applicable.
