Off-topic, but it reminds me of an anecdote from an ex-RAF colleague at work.
AVRO Shackleton approaching east coast of US. Two Delta Daggers appear behind to shepherd them in.
Pilot to Captain "Would you like me to lose them Sir ?"
"Go ahead".
Pilot throttles Shackleton back to just above stalling speed.
The debrief after landing was not the most harmonious ever.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
