I hope that the RAF a/c that "belly flopped" didn't have a load of missiles on it like the one in the photo. I can recall from my days as GM Divison officer on the CVAN Enterprise, one arrested landing where the missiles on an F16, kept going across the flight deck after the A/C had stopped. Fortunately, no explosion as they just went "over the bow", but still a bit frightening. TH
