Neither an F-15 or a Tornado have come to symbolise a nation's struggle for survival in quite the same way...
Although (apologies for those who've read this post before) it reminds me of the story of the farmer in North Wales who go so sick of his farm being overflown that he climbed onto his barn and painted "Piss off Biggles" on the roof.
You can imagine what happened next can't you?
"I say old chap, have a look at this".
"Tally Ho!"
Mr Farmer was not pleased by the increasing numbers of RAF jets taking a detour to admire the barn. Matters came to a head when a passing USAF detachment all peeled off and screamed low to have a look.
Mr Farmer grabs a tin of matt black paint and paints over the letters on the barn, however at dawn and dusk, you can still make out a faint "Piss off Biggles!" on the barn, a fact which greatly amused the RAF, who routinely visit at ungodly hours during the summer months.
