Overheard at Farnborough

Post by steve p »

Thanks to the guys at the key publishing forum for this gem:

Overheard yesterday as the Vulcan took off at Farnborough in preperation for the flyby with the Red Arrows to open the show:

“Geez, I didnt know the limeys were developing a new stealth bomber?”
To be replied by
“maybe our guys will look to replace the B52 with this thing”

Sheer brilliance. :hide:
