Heard this as a reference to an '80s stealth aircraft. Never heard

of it
before.

Kenneth Williams



Are you sure its not a CDL aerial target?

This used to be a Boeing property and, before that, Bristol in Winterpeg,
and I think they got it from Meggitt in the U.K. It used to crash with
such regularity when lauched from its pneumatic catapult it was known as
"Vindicrater".
