Good old journos, arriving at the story a couple of weeks late. The pair of Twinstars have been in the UK for some time under civil registrations as was revealed when they appear in mil serials a few weeks ago.

Could be an interesting job though. No loo though, no galley. Under certain regulations such long flights would never be permitted!

Noise should be one of them. We have a Twin Star at the airport I work at. The diesel version too. When that takes off you can hear it from a couple of miles away. It sounds like a cross between a 50cc Fizzy on steroids and a Duc900 on speed. As a spotter/surveillance, well I can see the Taliban right now..............."Turn the radio down, yup, RAF is on it's way, all under cover in 5 minutes...........Aarif take that Stinger and hide behind that rock"

One flew from Canada to Europe non stop, so quite a while.
