Maybe we'll have a few beardies flying jumbos, instead?

It's enough to lead me to drink... more.

Well perhaps in the spirit of multi-culturalism

they could fly into some buildings, in formation obviously......

So did we bid for the games as being London, England (i.e. British) or as London, not really in England but part of some multi-country conglomerate?!?!

I can't find any news story to confirm this. I reckon it's just a bit of political propoganda.

Ah, it's in The Sun so it must be true.

What event have they been banned from? Surely if taking drugs in the sprinting is classed as illegal, using a fighter jet should be right out.
