Exclusive, Exclusive!

Under the pressure of RAF cuts, the Red Arrows have been spotted experimenting with a modified Audi R8 as a possible cheaper alternative to the Hawk.

That is awesome... I thought for a moment that there actually was an R8 flying with the Red Arrows! It took considerable effort to out this as a hoax. I even went as far as to look on snopes, but it make no mention of it, which led me to believe my eyes were NOT deceiving me. It was only when I realised that it was in fact just a crap picture that I gave in to my feelings, and decided it was a crap OP...

It is from the Goodwood FoS? That's my best guess.

What do I win?

Yep you're right. Goodwood FoS 2009.

Picture was originally this way round:



I had been trying to get a shot of the Red Arrows, and inadvertently got a bit of the Audi display onto the corner:



So yes, it was a crap photo.

The OP was meant as a joke, which I thought was obvious. (Perhaps I should have put a smiley in at the end.)

Actually, to be honest, the real joke is that, of all the dozens of photos I took of the Red Arrows, that crap Audi one was the best. getmecoat

What's with the "we"? I was about to ask if the Audi flies on a Certificate or a Permit?

Not photoshopped. It's a genuine, if unintentional, photo.
