There is a story I have read that concerns a couple of english constables on
road patrol near an RAF airbase... As a pair of the base's Tornados in tight
formation, came low along the road, the officers tilted their dash unit and
got a radar speed reading well above the posted limit obviously... On a
lark, one officer drove out to the airbase and asked to speak to the flight
commander... He then advised the officer he wanted to give the pilots a
warning ticket for speeding...
The flight commander laughed and said the pilots had mentioned that they had
a sudden 'radar lock alarm' on their ECM panels, and the only reason the
officer was able to be there was that their ECM Auto Protect was in standby
mode, otherwise he would have gotten a HARM missile (high speed
antiradiation missile) up his ahem radar gun...

Don't know the truth in this story, but it is amusing...

readout then showed JAMMED. I had to laugh as I could just see him
shooting me the bird as he flew by.
