I suddenly remembered the guy who landed a plane in Red Square a few years back (Mathias Rust) and whilst looking for some info on him, I found the following article:

Have a look at the paragraph titled "Mr De Jong". It sems so very "British"!

Now that is class! :lol: :lol:

Typical British Humour! :lol:

Absolutely wizard prank !
Got to admire their guts too

:D

The whole thing is ridiculous. First of all someone coming up with the idea and asking permission to actually do it, and then a senior officer giving said permission. The time and money spent etc.

Only other country I can think of who'd do something quite as silly would be the Australians.

Blimey - theres a word you dont hear too often! Reminds me of Enid Blyton's Famous Five! :lol:

Unless your name happens to be Gandalf.

But my name's Richard :wink:

I thought it was the most suitable adjective given the subject matter :lol:
