I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

It's a good thing they didn't take the image from this site:

Apart from having never heard of Forres??? Does anyone actually give a flying #### what they buy or display?

Just leave them to it, keeps someone happy.

Depart KINLOSS on runway 25, turn left after 100m onto the B9011 and follow for 1 mile.

How the Tornado should have looked perhaps?

I think it looks better than a real one!
I don't think anyone should get their Jockey shorts in a twist about the choice of type though, or the niggly detail. Most of Joe Public would recognise a fast looking pointy jet as probably being something to do with the RAF. Most wouldn't recognise the difference between a Nimrod and an airliner flying out of Inverness so a Nimrod might not have got the message across.
At least there IS acknowledgement of the RAF's history in Moray. The way things are going it'll be all that's left up there (along with the odd forecourt guard and acres of redundant runway).
Got to be pessimistic about it's chances of survival though, in fact I wonder if it's still there! It'll be scrap as quickly as an MRA4 facing a JCB.

Strange use of the money. Wonder how long before someone nicks it?
Where do you suppose it came from in the first place - if the Scottish Council were given a good deal in the first place then the aircraft type surely did not matter?

Kettle calling pot over....

I heard that after their poor showing at the London 2012, the Australian Olympic Team are having to change the colour of their national kit to "the Green and Silver".

Captain Radar is bang on the money. There's nothing wrong with it.
GT I think you'll find the term is "winging poms" mate. Not wrong in this case.

Diginnotagain,
Sorry mate, you had a long day?

I fail to see where you connect the term "whinging (thank you) poms" with the word racial since there are no ethic conotations that I'm aware of. Roughly translated I thought it meant "moaning Brit". Which, lets face it we do our fair share of...
