Try some research.

A couple of observations about the video. I heard an American accent giving instructions. Are there US exchange personnel on board? The F-35 is in US markings. Cross-operating or embarked? |

I think this was filmed last year during initial trials; those aircraft did have US markings.
I noted some senior looking USMC guys on board in the back of shot during the rolling landing trials. That little bird never stood a chance against the massive hoover! |

As well as the Falcon, I assume that a 12 gauge couldn't be used against said avian intruders while airborne - provided one didn't hit a jet?!
No doubt they're all protected species - or there'd be howls of animal rights outrage... |
Putting on my Spotters cap, I'm intrigued that Wings' chair (3:30 in the clip) has very nice rank badges attached.....going astern :=
Worth a round in the Wardroom; at least :p https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....0ee11bb112.jpg |

However, it seems the ship is treated as the 'local patch' by its resident birds, who presumably find enough to eat along the deck.. I wonder whether better hygiene in terms of food wastes etc would be helpful in lessening the appeal of these ships to possibly hazardous avifauna. |

Please translate for those of us who haven't done time bobbing up and down on the briny...:confused:
If one has two sets of rank badges, and mixes them up it is possible to be going astern one one shoulder and ahead on the other. |
So should we all write into him demanding a beer? |
Bengo - thanks for the clarification. Perhaps someone should contact Jaguar and point out the error as those rank badges appear to be fixed?
