In my role as amateur air marshall

[lizwilliams]

An open note to the RAF: chaps, I've no objection to you flying whopping great Chinooks over my property first thing in the morning,jolly good show, carry on and all that, but if I can see, e.g, the soles of your boots? Bit low.

Unless Al Quaida are hiding in the pond again. God, that's such a bore.

>But I always liked the way an old A-10 manual of my father's put it: "You can only TIE the low-altitude record."


LOL! I've mentioned my test pilot friend before - we used to get regularly buzzed on the archaeological site....

I think the equivalent of the Blue Angels are the Red Arrows - like you, we used to get them flying in formation over the house in Gloucester. One year, I went down to the Brighton seafront to discover a big display - they hadn't been to B'ton for years, ever since one of them had to ditch the plane in the sea. But he missed the pier, so that was OK.
