1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Ah, spoken like a true Yorkshireman. One of my mates hails from Hull. He's not a bad old stick. ;)

I'm not sure what the Jaguar & Tornado GR4 mentioned in that article could have done to prevent this happening.

What would've happened if it did stray into UK airspace? Would we destroy it? Or escort it away?

We would simply give the entire crew a month to turn up at imigration, in the meantime we would provide them with a mahoosive council house & do our best not to upset them or infringe any sort of human rights.

If Obama wins, he would have sent a text message to the president of the UN asking nicely for the blackjack to move away.

Just wondering, how many tiffies in Europe are fully functional and ready for deployment?
