Sorry to hijack my thread...back to the battery's. 555555

Part of what I used to do as a living Pabs. Regularly headed to Heathrow and other major airports on the arrival of dignatries and had the lads set up a 1Kw Jammer on the back of a Bedford. Ground to air 'guided' missile attack but, as you say, played havoc with the aircraft and ATC as well...............Oops! Had quite a few aircraft stacked at Manchester once...........Can't remember our record for pilots p1ssed off in one day.

I'd love to tell you more about the 'other' stuff we used to get up in London and Northern Ireland too! But there is a man in a black cloak outside my apartment with a biggish 9mm lump under his left armpit moving his finger from side to side.............Bloody official secrets act...........I dunno!

Anyway, thread on track............We had some fcukin' hoooooooge batteries!
