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...
