Sod the jets mate.  I'm more concerned about the aircrew thats 'missing'

Fingers crossed they have banged out safely and everything has done it's job correctly.  They'll hopefully be at home with the wife and kids before bedtime  :sad:

Indeed, you know what I mean with regards to the jet though.  :undecided:

I was considering making some AAES related joke but thought better of it... :embarassed:

I'm sure they will be found and as you say at home soon!

There we go, another Tonka gone.

Anyway, two have been found and are in hospital, the other two crew members are still on the run.

I worked on the taxiway construction last year at RAF Marham- the noise of these planes just immense, had to have my ear defenders on a lot of the time. How old are they now Dean, they looked like they were getting on in age?

Commiserations to friends/family/colleagues of the aircrew involved
