Sad day for the R.A.F.
Oh, what a very sad day for Her Majesty's R.A.F.
My saucy undercover snapper Pvte Angel (become me friend to check out her sexy photos on our Myspace page) captured these sad photos at Southampton docks today.
They show what was once the Pride of the RAF's strike force.
The terror of the Argentines.
The scourge of the Taliban.
The once fearsome Harrier Jump jet .
Now shrouded in tarpaulin, bubble-wrapped for their final journey (by ship! ) to the USA where they'll be reduced to spare parts for the U.S. Marine Corp's Harrier fleet.
The Yanks purchased (bloody stole more like!) 72 of 'em for a mere £110 miliion, after they were carelessly thrown away by our useless penny pinchers in our controversial defence cuts.
The clever, far sighted Americans will use them to keep their 120 Harriers, or AV8's as they call 'em, in action for the next 15 years.
£110 million!
Sod the accountants! I flogged one me self to our local Scrappy for a cheeky few quid -cash mind -and now the silly bugger wants the Pentagon's phone number...
Well, they're not getting our bloody last one, I can tell you!
Here's some snaps of ours in happier Harrier times.
Be sure to check out the RAF's Harrier page... whilst it's still there!
TTFN!

Latest Intel
The stunning Lt Carruthers and I...
...welcome all our new readers to our Top Secret little blog here at the Underground Bunker at Biggin Hill.
We've been leaking classified Intel for a while now, from our very first blog which promoted the quaint R.A.F. way of speaking through to wondrous aircraft of the future to gorgeous air babes to all manner of awesome and funny aircraft pictures and intel.
Please browse and enjoy.
We took a short break from reporting, - going deep undie cover for a highly dangerous mission that even we could not blog about, (well, maybe not). But we prevailed, defeated Her Majesty's enemies once again and, in the peaceful calm of post battle took to our top of the range nuclear powered R.A.F. p.c.'s once again.
Our brand new Intel reports are listed below or just tag back from this one.
Please , EYES ONLY and stop by in the comments to say "Hello" or as we in the R.A.F. say "Air Hair Lair, Pleased awfully to meet you"
TTFN, Regards,
Wing Co & Lt Carruthers xxx

Bristol Beaufighter
Combat damaged by German bullets, but they got it home and it fought again.
The Bristol Type 156 Beaufighter was used as a long-range fighter, fighter-bomber, night fighter, and anti shipping torpedo bomber.
5,928 were built between 1940-46 and it saw combat sevice the world over, used by the RAF, USAF and RAAF-in fact the Aussies didn't retire the Beau, as it was affectinately known until 1960!
