Speeding ticket dodged

[Denden]

Top this for a speeding ticket...

 

Two British traffic patrol officers from North Berwick were involved in

an unusual incident while checking for speeding motorists on the A1

Great North Road. One of the officers used a hand-held radar device to

check the speed of a vehicle approaching over the crest of a hill, and

was surprised when the speed was recorded at over 300 mph. Their radar

suddenly stopped working and the officers were not able to reset it.

 

Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had

in fact latched on to a NATO Tornado fighter jet which was engaged in a

low-flying exercise over the Border district, approaching from the North

Sea.

 

Back at police headquarters the chief constable fired off a stiff

complaint to the RAF Liaison office.

 

Back came the reply in true laconic RAF style:

 

"Thank you for your message, which allows us to complete the file on

this incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer

in the Tornado had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked

onto, your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming

signal back to it.

Furthermore, an air-to-ground missile aboard the fully-armed aircraft

had also automatically locked onto your equipment. Fortunately the pilot

flying the Tornado recognized the situation for what it was, quickly

responded to the missile systems alert status, and was able to override

the automated defence system before the missile was launched and your

hostile radar installation was destroyed.

 

"Good Day."
