Did Jeremy Clarkson keep the English Electric Lightning jet that he "purchased" in one of his TV programmes. ?

[dilbert]

Errr.... Yes and no. Yes it was asked, no it wasn't kept. The whole thing was a stunt. Speak to Eric Mc, who answered the question last time.

Thanks mate, thought it may have been asked before, but you have to check first

I'll wade in -

If I remember correctly, he did buy it.

It was delivered, but owing to JC not obtaining the appropriate permits, the local concil viewed it as unauthorised, then served documents insisting it needed to be moved.

It was that or it needed planning consent to stay...

Mr Mc didn't mention that. I'm surprised though that JC didn't fight the council over it. Anyway, doesn't he live in the Isle of Man now? I'm guessing that it'd be a bit of a pain to drag a ground bound aeroplane, whereever you go!

I think he just uses the Isle of Man property to avoid speeding tickets
