Was sat in the Punch Bowl in Thorne enjoying a post meeting drink before setting out for home when it sounded like something had "hammered" the roof.

If you heard a couple of bangs, it was Typhoons out of Conningsby going mach+ after an errant civi jet.

Supersonic bangs................. The sound of freedom.

If an airliner was taken over by terrorists would the decision be taken to shoot it down? Lawyers would have a feeding frenzy with claims for billions of pounds.

I'm glad that the second link was provided by "grumpyoldb";
Graham's one with Dave's "uk" was all about football.

Alex, your friend had good bits of hair hanging down the sides of her face, eh? :hide:
