• FV1620 Humber Hornet. A heavily modified Pig fitted with a Malkara anti-tank missile system specifically for airborne forces. Oh so very 1960s. 'I only told you to blow the bloody doors off!' as they say.

• Spam F18 Hornet fighter flown by naval aviators (they dont like to be called pilots for some reason!) off of spam carriers. Replaced the F14 Tomcat and are thus hated by everyone who got a stiffy during the flying sequences in Top Gun.

• Large, black and yellow, flying insect the size of a small dog and armed with WW1 bayonet. Has exactly the same demeanor and attitude as a RSM with toothache and piles.
