Plot revolved around a US Airman gettng an English women in the family way (this is 2008, not 1945 you know!). Anyway, some scenes were shot at RAF Marham (or "RAF Fakenheath" as we were asked to believe by the cunningly amended gatehouse sign), & in one particular shot, the main character was talking to the US commander as he got into his USAF Tornado GR4! Clearly in shot bellow the a/c belly were Brimstones on multiple racks. Is this munition operational yet?

Yes it was quite funny at times with shots of an F16 taking off which suddenly changed to a Tornado in mid flight.

My wife didn't notice and couldn't understand why I kept laughing in inappropriate places during the plot.

Yes, my family were entirely hacked off by the end of the prog!

I watched this and marvelled at how the Israeli F-16 turned into an agressor F-16 flown by an RAF pilot in a GR4 cockpit, queue endlessly repeated aerobatic shots from Farnborough/RIAT and the same GR4 taking off time and time again

ahhhhh being an aircraft nerd is a frustrating process.... :rolleyes:
