So, your point is that the British are more awesomer than everyone? I agree.

Haha that was great.

of course CM, surely the whole world knows that?? No??

I can't imagine an air marshalls for any of those other nationalities being given so much "artistic leeway" when directing multi-million pound Tornados!

It's a total hoot!

That segues nicely into my current fascination with Al Murray - Pub Landlord.
Jingoistic nonsense or fantastic parody - You decide.

Oh grouse, you'd have to see it.

(I suspect one of his superiors was informed)

Guy gets his friends to film him as he creatively marshalls some Tornados to the tune of YMCA, Killer, etc.,

Cute, but despite the charity angle (which seems grafted on after the fact) probably did not portray the RAF in an ideal light ...

I also wondered if any safety regs were violated

Possibly, but if the navy can get away with this, I'm not too worried about a bit of creative marshalling.
