    Conversation overheard on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz
    whilst flying from Europe to Dubai ...

    Iranian Air Defence Site:
    'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'

    Aircraft:
    'This is a British aircraft. I am in Iraqi airspace.'

    Air Defence Site:
    'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'

    Aircraft:
    'This is a Royal Air Force GR4 Tornado fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait!'

    Air Defence Site: ( ..... total silence)


    Don't you just love the RAF!:1980_boogie_down:

    Only bettered by:-

    This is a conversation between an American warship and the Canadian authorities:-


    Americans: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.

    Canadians: Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.

    Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

    Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.

    Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES&#8217; ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, THAT&#8217;S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.

    Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call.&#8221;

    Urban legend apparently

    Yes it is a myth..This was one of these stories which was created as a joke but has been firmly believed by some and then passed on as the truth.

    I always remember how the yank fleet in the med used to signal "how does it feel to be in the second biggest fleet in the med?"

    We used to answer "how does it feel to be in the second best?"

    Lets nuke 'em.

    By the way, America. It's my idea to nuke you. Not the British Fleet.

    Hope that clears things up.

    Can you post the pictures of the radar showing violated airspace?
    Or are you once again just trying to be arrogant, with very little to back it up?

    Hmmm?
    Who am I going to believe, a skunk with an axe to grind or one of our brave lads risking his life every day?

    Forgive me from holding an opinion from experience that the British military establishment isnt exactly a pillar of honesty and truth.

    I dont support Sinn Fein, i dont support any party. The whole political scene here is a joke, you'd think it was a sitcom.
