Isn't that the alleged UFO that crashed into a windmill last year?

That seems like a lot of money for a radio controlled plane.

The flight trials are due to start next year, does that mean they haven't finished it yet?

And the remote control takes up an entire LWB Land Rover! They should have a word with the Japanese about miniaturising that.

It would be great for chasing bastard cats out of my garden! Bombs and missiles - fantastic! I am using an old radio controlled racing car but it doesn't have any weapons of mass cat destruction unfortunately.

Will it be TSR2 all over again?

Dubbed the "pinnacle" of British engineering...

They said that about the launch of the Austin Allegro in 1972......
