#3 Is it just me, or is anyone else getting the feeling the Brits actually want to shoot down or blow up in mid-air the event-winning BallShots from opposing foreign teams???

AND IS US SPACE/ORBITAL STRIKE INVOLVED???

#5 HOw many airfields in England? Certainly there can put a security guy at each monitoring things and if someone tries to fly in from out of the country the RAF should take them out. I'm not sure I get this missile thing.

#6 > HOw many airfields in England?

More than you'd think. However the entire London (M25+)area is off limits for non commercial pilots.

#7 Actually, I thought these missiles could work in bad weather, there are thermal sights available for the guidance units.

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
