Directly under the flight path for L'pool airport here, and not 'eard or seen a single one yet.

No engine noise but you can still hear whining. It's from the scousers unable to jet off to Benidorm.  ;)

Thanks for the mucho  hilarity DS. Much appreciated. ::)

Ay, Ay, Ay  Caarm down will yer.

The remark was made by UM from his convalescent home, not by me.  cussing:

As if I would make some disparaging remark about our Scally cousins.  noooo:

Heard/saw a jet last night @10:45, presumably going into Heathrow.

I heard the rumble of one going over at a quarter to 10 ... reckon it was the first one from Vancouver; very strange after 6 days of peace and quiet.

See my earlier port....  whistle:

Anyhoo... more sloppy BBC reporting this morning...

Sky showed the first flight landing from Vancouver - a 747...

BBC purported to show it but in fact showed a 777....  noooo:

Sloppy....  redface:

Got your anorak back from the dry cleaners I see.  whistle:

Seriously ~ all those years in the bloody RAF and I can't tell one Boeing from another.
Sad innit? .... But I never had any interest in aircraft recognition and it was not something we ever needed to learn.

You can always tell a 747 by its bloody great 'ump at the front....

I'll take your word for it. SWWLTBO is good at aircraft recognition .... or so she claims. I am in no position to judge whether she really knows which is which or if it is just wild guesswork.

Michael Parkinson, a well know "professional" northerner if ever there was one, once said, within my hearing as it happens, that the biggest difference between those from the North and those from the South existed purely in the minds of the Northerners. Having been married for 21 years to a girl from Yorkshire (and thus wed also to her extended Northern family) I have to say that he was right.

There is nothing "soft" about people who were born in the South, nothing easier about living in the South and "Southerners" do not get paid more, do not have more privileges, are not better educated and do not have better lives. NOR, until people from the frozen wastes that exist beyond the Watford Gap, start on with their bloody whining about 'ow 'ard life is oop t'north do we ever even give them a fvcking thought far less bother to stereotype them.

So stick that in thee roll-oop and strike a match! evil:
