Gotta love the RAF Back when and now...

was an email forwarded from son: don't know if it's true but seemed worth posting even if it isn't. Should make anyone in Britain smile:

Conversation overheard on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz while flying from Europe to Dubai ..

Iranian Air Defence Site: 'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'

Aircraft: 'This is a British aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.'

Air Defence Site: 'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'

Aircraft: 'This is a Royal Air Force GR4 Tornado fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait!'

Air Defence Site: ( .... total silence)



I love the RAF

I got the same email a few days ago, but it was the USAF and a F-16. Still funny though...

I'm sure there is multiple versions of it. They are all funny though...
