I suppose it's better than nothing taking off from it.

Trust you lot to be negative !  I saw it and thought at last, something good to report about Britain.

The endurance of the earlier ones was very limited - think low single digit minutes. They also use some pretty lethal fuel so better hope nobody shoots at you. Unless there has been a major redesign then they are nothing more than gimmicks with no practical application.

Ooops - I'd typed mine up and that just snuck in before me. Negative or just honest? We'll know soon enough if they appear in Ukraine next week I guess.
