Look at this carefully...it is a brilliant example of British Humour!

The British government has scrapped the Harrier fleet and on their farewell formation fly past over the Houses of Parliament they gave the government a message.
Lean back a bit from your computer monitor and squint. Seriously...push your chair back a couple of feet.. My hat is off to the man that was leading this squadron.

Someone finally came up with a practical use for Photoshop!!!!!! Maybe we can rely, once again, on talent, emagination, our eye and leave the Oznian smoke and mirrors to "those who can't". By the way did some one have the nerve to call PS BS? Watch out for the tar and feathers---but thanks!

Yes, it is photshopped. The blurriness of the jets. They are all exact replicas. The unique formation is not kosher according to any protocol for any air force in the world. But all the same, it is what you wish you could say to some humanoids, but are too cultured to say, because your mother would come back from the dead and wash your mouth out.
Their are many of the younger generation that would say those words without hesitation though.

As an Ex member of the RAF, there were certainly times when I wished to be able to express a similar opinion.

Unfortunately, this is a 'send-up'. The web-site is a give-away. Pilot Officer Prune, (eqivalent rank to 2nd Lieutenant), was a war-time caricature, and was always involved in 'incidents - (crash-landings etc.). As such, he has been resurrected to invoke any embarassing scenario.
