Ghost on 747 in U.K.?

Do we have any Sun readers who can expand on this story from Dunsfold?

That’s an easy question to answer. It’s called “hype”. It’s the standard codswallop that is published just prior to a film’s release to make you want to go and see it. It’s very effctive. I bet I won’t be the only one going to see it.

……..and like most such prattle totally unoriginal in concept. Thinking of the long-winged bomber at a certain U.K. Museum which was looking for a bit of publicity some years ago….

It’s just Al Qaeda recruiting from “the other side”. Gets past security no problem, but not much of a threat to anything aside from the shade of passenger’s trousers.

I heard there were reports of people seeing the ghost of an Elephant by the 747! Later it was confirmed as a Jumbo! :p

Good one Albert, looks as though no-one is going to own up to being a Sun reader! 😀

Bet it’s not on page three!

At least they got the type of ‘plane right, and its location – what more do you expect – accuracy? 😮

Perhaps the “ghost” is responsible for the strange happenings around the engine nacelles on this particular 747 too 😀 😀 (see other threads) – are we sure it’s not the ghost of a long lost Boeing B52 taking (part) possession of it’s younger relative :diablo:

– Still, at least it’s not been found crashed on the moon, unlike the front page reports in that other “quality” paper a year or two back.

I like the way the Sun describes the 747 as “a stunt plane” – sure give me the shivers 😀

Anyone close to Dunsfold have any comments, the link states that strange happenings are known by several at the airfield.

Any ghostly white figure seen haunting Dunsfold is probably just The Stig.

‘Some say…’
