Fact of the Day: Trainee F14 pilots that have completed tethered flight training (very much like swingball) are then allowed to progress to Phase 2 free flight training which is under 55ft altitude (seen here flying over Lincolnshire) and limited to 87mph #AvGeekpic.twitter.com/DAcgGXGr0f

No doubt JCB are now busy developing their own flight simulator suites for the post-Brexit market.

If they hit 88mph, they travel back in time and accidentally shoot down their own dad. Or something.

Instant failure if the recruit gets in the wrong plane...

Did you know that the F-14 engines cannot sustain such low speeds so they are replaced by a variant of the General Electric Merlin actually built under licence by Cadbury on a special line at their Bourneville plant. Quite incredible really.

This is the first tethered flight of the Shorts SC1 at what became Alex Higgins International airport in Belfast. It was piloted by my Great Great Grandfather, Jim "Jams" Pyjamas who was infamous for being late for work.pic.twitter.com/imNUvMTSNc
