But what about the slow jets? They can't get away from the virus as quickly.
All of the Lancaster fighters based at #RAFLuton have had rings fitted to them to help crew observe the 2m #SocialDistancinguk As the trial has gone well so far Honorary Station CO Colonel Chuck "Lone Wolf" McQuade has ordered rings to be fitted to all other fast jets #AvGeekpic.twitter.com/vJsLIXYQU7

A happy side benefit is you can carry a larger crew on your most important missions, as extra crew members can use the ring as a bench.

Seriously concerned about flying in airspace of countries where 2m isn't the norm. Can this be reset in flight to allow our brave aircrew to cuddle up closer when necessary?

@RAF_Luton this has TWO engines and so this is not a Lancaster but a Mosquito. A Mk0 by the look of it. -
Lancaster. The ring has a tactically useful side effect. The optical illusions it creates are yet another example of the camouflage skills of the
#RAFLuton team. The camera angle adds to the effect.

Are they going to be retrospectively fitted to the Halifax and Wellington aircraft too?
