Appologies if this has already been posted.

The CAA's take on a few topics (558, TFC and naughty Tina). An interesting read.

No, but the various owners, Bae, Rolls Royce say no to one flying. I think recent events have shown why the decision not to fly them is a good one.

Very good article. Interesting to read some positive feedback regarding the TVOC management and how they operate for once. :ymapplause:

Indeed. And despite Thunder City's impeccable record for many years, the Lightning is just too dangerous to be allowed to fly over a heavily populated place like the UK.

Would love to see a Jag or even a Phantom in civvy hands though. \:D/
This is my sig:

I hope it's not too inflammatory and I hope that certain people wont completely misunderstand it like they did with the last one.

That really was interesting, especially the bit about the Fighter Collection.
I'd love to see a Jag fly again, especially one of the snazzy black ones at Cranwell :D
I don't have any pics sadly :( they always seem to hide them when ever I go past =))

Better turn your phone off next time! Ask Cluny!
