Grandpa on the Tornado
“What are those little wing things on the front of the plane for?”
”Well I suppose you could call them a kind of stabiliser.”
”Oh, when he learns to fly it properly they will take them off like you did on my bike!”
Um!

I was at an open day air display at RAF Odiham in 1979 when a little boy asked a Harrier pilot (who was from the OCU at Wittering) about the Harrier’s wingtip “stabilisers” for trainees. The pilot didn’t find it too amusing, but I did!

I remember the Gr3 being a regular performer at Odiham family’s day, along with Vulcan, Buccaneer, and of course the mighty Puma!
