What a shame, we nearly lost a speed radar.

Sorry to sound like a spotter but an air-to-air sidewinder locking onto a ground based target?  Not likely!  :y

Heard this one before but its a bit of old wives tale

Wonder if you could fit one of those jammers to a migg. That would be a useful toy :)

Maybe we could fit the side winders to the Mig instead.

Just imagine going down the road and the HUD lit up "TARGET LOCKED" press "FIRE"

Anyone see the 'Jonny English' film, with Rowan atkinson, there is a bit where he blasts a speed camera with a rear firing missile!!!  :y :y

Like the idea of that, worth watching the whole film for ;D ;D

Whole thing is an urban myth, IMHO....

Worked nearto RAF Leuchars for more than a few years and heard assorted variations of the same tale, both from Trafpol and the RAF types....   ;)

Probably true once upon a time, but now subject to assorted rebirths!!
