Big Lizzie's real-life Iron Man! Moment Royal Navy servicemen fly through air over New York harbour using JET PACKS and land on HMS Queen Elizabeth as warship hosts Anglo-American military conference
2022-10-10
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Royal Navy servicemen soared over the New York Harbour in jet packs last month at the Atlantic Future Forum

  • They hovered Harbour and flew towards the HMS Queen Elizabeth, the Navy's largest and most powerful ship

  • The Royal Navy has been testing out the concept of Jet Suit assault teams for about two years
The flights, made possible by innovative technology from Gravity Industries, utilise more than 1000bhp of Jet Engine power.

To date, Gravity has been experienced by over 1billion people worldwide.

The forum looked to explore 'international security and the future technologies which will define the next decade and beyond.'

#4  As Adele droned an anthem, the Queen
Blasted off -- Mr. Craig did, we mean --
But our wig blew away
And he lost his toupee,
Rather dashing the triumph, we ween,
Of our public relations machine.

#3  Jet Suit assault teams

You see GI Joes and Cobras, I see a poor sitting duck who can't even aim straight, suspended from a harness in the air.

Respectfully understated.
