Top Gun... er, I mean Gear

Just popping in briefly from Rotorheads to ask...

Who was it that got to fly the Sea Harrier up against the Saab whatever last night in BBC's Top Gear? Was it as much fun as it looked?

Sad to say that I think the saab would have the acceleration to beat any chopper round that track...maybe you could volunteer.

Why did the pilot have to stand at the back of the set looking like Darth Vader. Who is this man.
By the way have a look at the topgear web site, in particular the Vr claims for a B747

Wait for the next show

I hear that there was also a Chinook whopping around the airfield that same day, so maybe they have another race to air soon.
