'Common sense' in tatters as local man claims he could 'take down' fighter aircraft with a 'decent slingshot and some elbow grease'
It’s official: the fighter aircraft parked at the airbase could be grounded by a man who still uses a flip phone and thinks ‘turbulence’ is just the pilot’s excuse to spill his tea. Steve Gribble, 47, commented on a local Facebook group that our tax money is better spent on ‘fixing the potholes’ than ‘shiny planes that just make noise on a Sunday’. When asked about radar, he replied, ‘I’ll just duck.’
