Incidentally, that's known as the "Hog" the "Pig" is the Aussie name for the F-111 (Know to the USAF as the Aardvark, but they SHOULD call it Wildstang... )

Well I could go and walk down to "The Flying Pig" but I'd miss History... It's the name of a Pub/Bar about 5 minutes walk from college.

Oh, and pigs have flown... Pink Floyd made them
