I have no reason to disbelieve his story, as he once fired an anti-tank missile across his estate, and used to see how fast he could go down the runway, without lifting off, in the surplus Phantom he bought from the R.A.F. disposal sale when both FG1/FGR2's and F4J(UK) types were withdrawn from service.
I leave it to you all to decide; true or not (and I'm sure it is!), it's a good story! |
