Aviation Great threads!

Just loving all this Royal Air Force info. Served as a Royal Air Force Firefighter for 23 years and worked with most RAF/NATO aircraft at some point with my favourite being the mighty "two man, two fan swing wing angel of death" (Tornado). Don't get to see or hear much jet noise up here in West Cumbria, miss it, great times.
