Rather likened to 'Can you tell the difference between Coke and Pepsie'? *-)

Surely one can tell the difference from a taxi-way to that of a runway???? For clues, the width....No? OK, how about the R/W markings.......No? Hmmm, lighting??.....No? R/W number written in white just after the pedestrian crossing markings......No? The answer must lie in Specsavers!!!! :lol: :lol:

Mitigating circumstances were snow and darkness but even then they were still plain stupid. Makes for an interesting conversation (strictly one way) with your superior.... :-#

oops! I guess we should see what the outcome is. The thing about air travel is that there are various different people involved in ensuring a safe flight, from ATC to pilots and maintenace / opperation of the various signs and navigation aids. Lets hope something positive can be learned :)
