I know Staveron well. Mitsubishi had their 'fleet' up there when I worked for them in the '90's!

If you're there in time, you might be lucky to see it flying into/departing from RIAT in July.

The jag was very nice but nothing beats the English electric lightning. Oh and I'm desperately trying to go to RIAT. Last big air show I went to was back at mildenhall when they had the air fetes
On topic. When I get time I might read up on the bomber and refuelling tankers used during the Falklands war. They used loads of tankers just to get one Vulcan bomber in a position to bomb the air strip at Stanley airfield.

So they simply fly head on to minimise the tailfin cross section. (Or backwards, that'll fool the yanks). You must be right. They surely couldn't fly sideways?
