Cool Typhoon SPANKS Veyron!

After many, many runs up and down the runway this afternoon the race was on... The arrangement was for both the Veyron and Typhoon to start together (although the Veyron was a little ahead for onvious reasons) they would then 'race'...

The race for the Veyron was two lengths of the runway, down and back again. The typhoon had to take off to an altitude of 1000' and then fly back down the runway at low level to the finish....

They both started well, the Typhoon went verticle about a third of the length of the runway and disappeared through cloud.. the Veyron was also REALLY shifting.. it was on its way back on its return lap when you could hear the ROAR of the Typhoon....

It came in, levelled off and once past the Veyron hit the afterburners!!.... crossed the finish and went rolling off into the distance!

Superb!

Doesnt really sound like the Typhoon spanked the Veyron, sounds like the Typhoon won the arial race and Veyron won the on the track.

...... I'd rather my licence money/tax went on things like this rather than me paying for other ******* children, immigrants, dole scroungers...etc, etc,

It's not a stupid competition from where we're sitting, in fact it's been a most entertaining day so far

They've just come out for the second run and yes, the Typhoon did spank the Bugatti!

tv licences dont pay for immigrants,
athough i agree 100 percent with what your saying

it seems a waste of tv licence for me, the whole tv licence thing needs an overhaul tbh, when you think you may only actually watch two-three hours of telly a night and maybe a third of that will be bbc programmes, and its on in the day broadcast utter tosh to a small audience, maybe its time to make bbc pay per view?

Typhoon is a tax payers toy though, but to balance things scheduled flying has been cancelled.... We should still be able to have some fun now and again... otherwise whats the point!

I have always thought the TV licence should be scrapped

Wouldn't make any difference, they all got sky innit These chavs even have their own unique dialogue these days. I was told by some fat bird in a white tracksuit that my car was "sexual" the other day

Oh yes We've been here since 10.30am and will probably be the last to leave tonight so if it's flying we'll see it

We're currently down at the non car park end of the runway checking it out for the third run. We like the idea of the Typhoon coming straight over our heads on full heat

They never normally do the whole reheat thing, mainly due to the noise... so it's a very rare sight and sound from the base .....
