First a Hercules, now three days later a Tornado flies over!
The last time I saw a FJ around here was about 1982 when a Phantom flew over, but to be fair, I think he was lost.

I'll give it a go. How about a squadron of F4-J's after the Falklands?

Taken out of the desert, given a wash and hoover. Were they good value for money? (Crouches down and prepares for incoming)
