I heard another rumour, that I just made up there, that it was an Algerian pilot and the F-35 sucked in his camel cover... camel is OK though
I heard it was a piece of the camel, which is now a dromedary, and the annoyed F-35 pilot has still got the hump.
Have I logged into UKAR by mistake??? :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
I haven't seen Nigel Farage or Brexit mentioned, so I think you're clear of UKAR

new rumour heard and it apparently sucked in a helicopter intake cover (cant see that happening myself) and it was an American pilot.
The UK MoD has already publicly briefed it was a British pilot, although no elaboration as to whether RAF or RN. Not too sure they would release such a blatent untruth or why. Where's your rumour from, reliable?
Friend who works at marham. Personally i dont believe and like i said, new rumour.

I heard a rumour that it ingested a pink plastic chair that had been left on deck by a guy called Dave.....

I have no idea if its true or not, but it would make sense.

Came out today, looks like an image from the salvage contractor:

Registration matches. Several UK based sites that posted the image have pulled the Tweets.

Rumours that its now in a massive bucket of rice at Marham are apparently unfounded.

That's the same photo that is in the previous posts above, more likely to have been taken by an employee of the salvage team who has probably since been sacked!
