pissed myself when i read that - quite amusing for a bronze rider!!(BTW, I'm off down there tonight with a spray can of Bronze paint to finish the job and cover that black undercoat).
talked to my brother in law who works for a little company called rolls royce, where he makes/designs afterburners. He reckons the new eurofighter has really pissed a lot of american companys off - it is a very good aircraft by all accounts, and will quite happily trounce others in its class
I remember the 001 concorde - one of its first public flights was a fly past at the old hawker siddley factory at woodford, near manchester - My dad worked there, on hydraulics etc on the Vulcan bombers so even though I was very young, I saw it very early
(Being a doting dad he asked for, and was given one of the models from the wind tunnel tests for the Vulcan - he was on the way out of the gate when security when ape shit and started muttering things about the official secrets act! Would have been a damn cool model to have on my ceiling!)
