They are not anti vehicle posts, they are there to mark the limits if the outside drinking area and if this is the same photo I saw a couple of months ago the very bottom post has been photoshopped to hide where is folds down flat.

I showed the Tornado thing to my mate in the RAF and he says it's ballcocks, he says they don't carry Surface to ground missles in training, they are carried during live operations only, they are only usually fitted with Air to air. Now i know love all about planes so he could winding me up.

Yeah, pretty sure the bottom right bollar can be removed or folded down. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=quay+st ... 6,,0,21.13

The photo I first saw was 'shared' by hundreds of people on Facebook from someone's profile, who appears to have taken the picture, posted it and commented on it.

Anyway, is your mate telling you they never practice with air to ground missiles and just go into live missions in the hope they'll get it right? Either way, it's an amusing article and would be very cool if true.

This is probably OT because it's not on the internet, but ...

Happened upon the BoxNation TV channel this evening, competition between UK and USA armed forces at the Albert Hall. Superb piece of Colemanballs in the commentary on the fight between a US Marine and a Brit, one Corporal Shaun Dick.
Last round and our boy is in catch-up mode: "Dick's really getting stuck in now."
