He's a Harrier pilot Steve. That means he's based in Rutland, so doesn't need to go elsewhere for a good local bitter. :roll: Honestly, some people ....

What with ex-RAF GR7/GR9s (how many have been upgraded so far) being redeployed with the Navy and one or two in recent memory lost in accidents, presumably we are a bit short on airframes now?
From an operational point of view - I have always wondered what happens when expensive combat aircraft are lost and [in the case of the crew surviving] you end up with more pilots/crew than serviceable airframes.
Good to hear the pilot ejected ok, just hope he didnt hit any pub benches on his way down. Its not pleasant to hit a pub bench at high velocity as my dad could testify :redface:

Probably best that we start a separate thread on barmaids, if need be
