A further thought on rooftop messages to the airbourne plod
Of course, such ideas are bound to end in tears.
One is reminded of a certain welsh farmer. Sick and tired of jet aircraft oo' be scarin' 'is sheep, he painted "PISS OFF BIGGLES" on his roof in an attempt to get his point across. However...
The Buccaneer squadrons at Lossimouth spotted this. They told their mates on Jaguars at Coltishall. Coltishall told the Phantoms at Wattisham and Leuchars. Wattisham told the Tornadoes at Honington, who then told the Tornadoes at Coningsby, Bruggen, Laarbruch and all over the european subcontinent who then told the F-111's at Upper Heyford and Lakenheath. Someone told the Hawks at Valley, Brawdy and Chivenor. You can see where this is going. The entire damned northern flank of NATO congregated over the poor sod's house for the next two weeks, to have a look and take photos.
He painted out the sign.
What's slightly more worrying is that knowing this story verbatim, I've been able to find picture evidence....
