I found this page of spoof news articles on the web when just trawling around.  Quite ammusing, with some whiff fodder too!  SAR Harrier's?  Red Arrow's Grobs?  Indian copy of TSR.2???

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Making the RAF compete with BA - it's funny because it's almost too good not to be true. Which, if you think about it, is sad.

I would like to see what a Typhoon UCAV would be like 20 year or so from now though.
It's a crappy self-made pic of a Lockheed Unmanned Combat Armed Rotorcraft (UCAR), BTW

The SAR Harrier T.10 is my favourite, I've got a feeling somebody here modeled it maybe?  A member mentioned that this was actually a real proposal at one time:
http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,9531.msg132580/highlight,harrier+rescue.html#msg132580

It's in yellow, although I can only imagine it as a CSAR platform.  Stick a couple of the Avpro Exint pods on it to carry a few more malingering squaddies.

Brilliant, but don't let some idiot from the MoD see it or they might try the ideas out
