1. A Fast jet (once) flown by the RAF for ground attack and Recce missions. Considering it was designed by garlic eating Johnny Frog it was quite a nifty bit of kit. Although sub-sonic (Wrong... Mach 1.6 or 1056mph) you could just about land the thing on a dirt farm track.
Of course it had to go.
Found to be guilty of working correctly and reliably and thus retired! as per MOD SOPs and was replaced in service by the Tornado. 'Nuff said.
2. Petrol engine originally fitted in the CVR(T) family of armoured combat vehicles giving them a top speed of 'WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!'.
3. Large cat sometimes (briefly) seen hanging around Bodmin moor.
