Explosions! Planes!!

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the intervention in Libya, the BBC could do with toning down the gung-ho jingoism oftheir coverage, not least in the photographs illustrating the story on their website. Explosions! Fireworks!! Planes!!! BRITISH planes!!!! When did they make Tony Scott director general?

Meanwhile, if you had to put together a literary anti aircraft battery unit, you could add Gunter Grass and the Pope (well he has published a lot) although you should be in charge of the loading not the pointing.
Salter might have shown respect for the MiG-15 but in an interesting bit of aeronautical historicity, NATO call signs during the Cold War did the opposite; "fagot", "frogfoot" and, most bizarrely "fishbed". How rude.
