I am reminded of the chap a few years back who was seeking information on the tandem Hunter that he had flown from (IIRC) Yeovilton. He was adamant that it had been a Hunter, but he could find no information on it.

Oops! 0/10 for animal recognition skills!

In my defence, I would respectfully point out that the bovine in question does bear a passing resemblance to a girlfriend that I had at Valley, many moons ago.

She was, indeed, a sheep called Baaaaarbara.

Ref Bovine Co Pilot
 
Definitely not BA. I think He/She was at Kinloss or St Mawgan. Anyone else recognise the Cockpit?

I remember the one at I think Telford, which is the largest model show. a so called expert on viewing a Phantom model started regaling to all far and wide how inaccurate it was, the cockpits were all wrong etc..... all of this in front of the guy who built it, eventually stopping for air the modeller asked him how many hours he had in the Phantom..... None was the reply... Ohh so the 1000 hrs plus I have means I do not know what it looks like? Sharp steps sideways followed by giggles for the said expert..
