It's very kind for the RAF to do this. Maybe the obscenely rich footballers could have a little collection for the aircraft to show their gratitude.

Very kind, but the best part of an hour between the 3 airframes and 6 engines...

Why do they talk about football as if it was something really important.

Nowdays all the girlfriends have to be famous as well.

With you there Calypsos, I live in Army Married Quarters and we have been instructed not to fly the Cross of St George in case it upsets some minority group who live 200 miles up the road

Going to watch the other side then are we? Seriously though, a lot of the estates in Manchester, particularly the more undesirable estates are full of the flags and banners. A couple of houses have'nt even taken their Xmas decorations down from the outside! :shock:

Well.. all we can hope for is rain. BBMF won't let the old girl out in the wet stuff and it'll dampen the Beckhams shindig at their country mansion
