Thanks to the guys at the key publishing forum for this gem:
Overheard yesterday as the Vulcan took off at Farnborough in preperation for the flyby with the Red Arrows to open the show:
“Geez, I didnt know the limeys were developing a new stealth bomber?”
To be replied by
“maybe our guys will look to replace the B52 with this thing”
Sheer brilliance.
