A400M det to Coastal Command?
Pasty Crust
It's all very well these, no doubt, expensive drones tracking the inflatables crossing the Channel, but they're not stopping them. The suggestion of a low-flying Islander dropping time-expired pasties might be the best solution......Oh! Hang on, Greenpeace and St Greta of Thunberg would probably object to that because they might cause environmental pollution.
The double baked ends are as hard as Tungsten (even before curing) and are noted to be able to penetrate high tech armour plating. In spin mode with extra gravy filling they are quite devastating for rib shredding and if consumed by the targets will have the double benefit of making them realise how nice the French cuisine was.
But I thought they were dug out of Cornish Treacle Mines.

I think we need an in-depth analysis of the relative effectiveness enjoyed by the two distinct scone priming techniques; the Devon method or the far superior Cornish process.
Hello Chaps, it's Nigel here (Sharkey to you). All this talk of aircraft doing this job is complete rot. With the fuel burnt in a day over the channel our Sea Harriers could have mounted 25 sorties in the Falklands and made a bloody sight better job than the RAF.
This channel job should be left to the RN.

As a Devon man, I take grave offence at your remarks, oxenos!!!
May I suggest current buns at dawn?

oxenos, You are right! Let's settle for stale currant buns. At 20 paces?

What we need is a chain of masts mounted speakers pointing out to sea and broadcasting Des O'Conner songs 24/7, that will make any sane person turn around and head back to France.
As for the current bun theory, are they AC or DC?

So it that a hermaphrodite bun?
A simple, low tech solution to the people arriving in inflatables situation would be to deploy doctor's receptionists along our Channel coast . Nobody, but nobody, would get past them - if reports from a local surgery are anything to go by. Not even the Soviet 3rd Shock Army would have dared to take one particular receptionist on.
