  1. And some people think I'm far right because I'm in favour of Brexit and rather like Trump. By the way I'm English, no guns here for the likes of me. Only the criminal classes are permitted guns, whether they be public or private sector criminals. I might consider a move to Italy, could be fun.

  2. What might they do with an air-to-air missile?

    Is there a Mirage on the other truck?
    A really big-ass IED?

    'quiring minds wanna know.

    1. The same question occurred to me. Just speculating: could you launch one from a civilian aircraft? Could you use as a ground-to-air missile even if wasn't built for the task?

    2. recall, the uss cole was hit by a french exocet missile launched from a dassault falcon bizjet modified for the necessaries, so yes. launch from anything capable of lifting the missile and the associated fire control and launcher equipment could be done.

  3. You could sell it- a Matra might fetch a good price on the black market - buys a lot of linguini.
