Precision guidance or what

FLYPAST

 

[Mat-Moo]

Yea, I was watching for that and heard on Farnborough airshow radio that he made a bit of a boo boo. Flew allteh way from the USA, did a pass over the WRONG airfiled (Blackbushe small light aircraft field!) then wne thome again!

[Guest TerryBarry]

At least it wasn't on a bombing run

[Guest chris brown]

Makes you wonder thro how many of the bombing runs to the gulf were off target no wonder they end up with "friendly fire" or blue on blue as they say

[Guest Battery Bill]

Chris

how many of the bombing runs to the gulf were off target

Having witnessed the Might of the American forces in the Gulf, seeing a constant flow of Jumbo's, Galaxys, Starlifters bringing in more Troops and equipment every day (Probably 10-15 each per day for a lot of days) And finding out that they only used an 8th of their capability in Gulf 1. I'm just glad we are on their side

[Guest Battery Bill]

Especially our Air Force is being cut to 41000 people

Imagine the whole lot wouldn't even fill a big footy stadium.

[Guest nomis]

I'll own up to being BAE SYSTEMS (as we are supposed to call it), based at Farnborough - Still Building.

 

There is a Yellow Hood in the area, I know cos I was so surprised to see it that I bumped into the car in front of me whilst in a traffic Jam on route Farnborough to Frimley.

[Mat-Moo]

Not far from me then, I'm in Cove. Funnily enough I saw a Yellow/SS car drive past ,y house the other day, never seen it before/since though.

[Joel]

I've done a fair bit of work for BAe in their structural test facilities at Brough and the one near Blackpool (Warton??)
