Dave B - the funniest remark so far?
 

From time to time I write articles etc. My proof reader is a 70 year old lady who knows nothing about aeroplanes but whose grammar is immaculate. She sent me this yesterday:

You can’t have a Lightning II. Especially when THE Lightning had a red hot exhaust and was quite attractive and this thing looks like it should come down your street sucking out the drains.


As the saying goes I had to share this with you.

I like this lady. Can I adopt her as my gran?

Simply brilliant, she sounds like a sharp cookie:D:D:D

Maybe she's telling the truth, ACMs take note.

Nah, THE Lightning was an attractive multi-role twin-prop built by Lockheed.

She's brilliant!

I agree this is the ORIGINAL Lightning...

SEE COFF'S PICTURE BELOW (Damn iPhones - I can't cut and paste the URL either!) - thank you, Sir, you are a gent...

All others are just wannabees! :ok:

She should probably stay well clear of the fankiddy boards.

Resize the damn thing

Nutty

Can't resize on my iphone! :ugh:

Always wondered why they had a yoke on the Lightning instead of a stick. Wouldn't feel right poling one around on a yoke although they obviously managed.

Thanks, that's a better picture anyway, the other could have wallpapered my living room it was so big :)

Brilliant John :D:D:D:D

Here you go Leon ... use my host URL on your original post for a resize and I'll then amend this post and stand-down mate :ok:

Mr Farley, Sir,

What a wonderful, and perceptive, lady your proof reader is.

THE Lightning is a vertical twin jet.

Oh John, thank you for sharing! That description is just hilarious.

Now wouldn't it be amusing if the F35 were to become known as "The Rod" (like Tonka, Tiffy etc.) as a result of this little ditty. So that's Rod as in Lightning Rod or Dyno Rod :E
