My landlady in Hounslow in the 70's woke up early if the flights DIDN'T start on time!!!

Concord. An engineerig feat from a different era, never to be repeated as the greenie, tree hugging hippies would cry in their lentil soup.

True, but it need not have happened, especially if correct procedures had been followed!

whats noise? Out here, unless there is an F1 race on up the road at Silverstone its lovely and peaceful   

Except weekends in the summer, when everyone gets in their small planes at Turweston and Hinton.

I keep looking on ebay for SAMs, but the Taliban are snapping them all up

our home is on the runway path of a military airport  :-/ although its far,  sometimes big cargo planes pass very low and I jump from the shaking bed

but mostly neighbours are more disturbing

Oh dear...

"Two people have died after a light aircraft crashed and burst into flames in a field in Hampshire.

Private aircraft owners are strongly advised by the Civil Aviation Authority not to fly due to volcanic ash, however no legal restrictions are in force.

A Hampshire Police spokesman said: "It is too early to say whether ash was a factor but it will form part of the investigation."

Just a coincidence.......perhaps?..........or perhaps not? :-/ :-/

The results of the investigation will be interesting.

Funnily enough we have seen 3 light aircraft flying round here today !!

Business as usual at the gliding club.

It's only really turbine aircraft flying above 20k feet that have a problem so for 99% of private aircraft there is no reason, legal or otherwise, not to fly.

A bit of journalistic licence trying to generate a story out of a tragic accident, IMHO.

saw couple of light aircraft in the air today when out on the bike, what a stunning day!  8-)

Get feeling now any aircraft accident or even car related crashes, the ash will be blamed by the media  :-/

Seen reports that point to a crappy U.S passenger jet dropped a large piece of jagged metal, which Concord later run over
