Normal cruise speed = 90kts. If release mechanism fails, combined speed = Mach 2.1!

I found them to be really uncomfortable.
I couldn't wait to get my 2nd No1, so I could start wearing the old No1's for work.

After much thought I've come up with:

'Budget cuts became so severe they even extended to the Air Training Corp. In future air experience flights will be combined with front line operations.'

Pilot: Cadet, can you see the airfield?
Cadet: Yes sir!
Pilot: Very well, fire at will!!!

In a procurement shakeup due to the further constraining of the MoD budget, the RAF has been forced to adopt a cheaper simpler solution for the defence of our skies. The red-top armed Chipmunk was to have bene euipped with radar to give it a head-on attack capability, but this was considered too expensive.

The Royal Navy has had its remaining Type 45 destroyers cancelled, instead the role will be filled by the Type 92 dinghy which the treasury prefers as a much more cost effective solution. The dinghies, which will carry two men, will be built by a consortium of BAe Systems, VT group and Thales - each company providing 5 planks and 3 ribs, some fastners and adhesive. To retain compatibility with the United States, the 'crew' will be provided with a Smith & Wesson pistol to share between them, which shall form the vessels primary offensive armament. It is also proposed to later equip the vessel with a number of small plastic canon-ball shapes which can be thrown at opposing vessels by one crew member, whilst the other one shouts "bang" at an opportune moment.

The army will receive the Mk3 paintball gun, which will be introduced as of next year. Insurgents will be told to fall down and writhe on the ground before becoming motionless, if hit by flying paint.
