The thing I find quite funny is when telling people that the Harrier actually landed in New York...and seeing the disbelieving looks on their faces! When I was younger I had loads of models and literature about the Harrier, mainly because I had an older cousin who flew in one :-) I also had an Uncle who worked on the Vulcan bomber...and had a Christmas card from him one year, a photo of him standing in the front of one of the air intakes to the engine. Two awesome and iconic aircraft, both of which played roles in the Falklands campaign.

That would mean the Nazis had won WW2 in Europe for one thing and JJ would be Herr Henne.
