    I think that may be a wise decision.

    I remember sitting outside at the old B-52 club having a drink.

    We’d had an unusually dry spell of weather, and the grass had recently been cut.
    A 727 (DHL ?) started doing engine runs near the end of 06.

    A strange brown fog started drifting across the airport 🙂

    His partner Teresa Hall had bought a house in Cornwall recently, so the two of
    them were spending quite a lot of time down there.

    He is survived by his mother (97), his son James, step-daughter Kathryn and
    her husband and son, who is about two now. Mick had no siblings.

    Mick’s son James was ringing round Mick’s friends and close colleagues last
    night to give the news personally, rather than issue a press release.

    That’s why the media didn’t report it last night.

    It’s a shame that he felt forced to leave before the final series, after the makers of TT decided to dumb the show down.

    The location of Manston does not exactly lend itself to an influx of large numbers of cars. Or, rather, it always had potential for problems!

    That’s the reason we decided not to go. It’s geographic location meaning there is one way in, and one way out.

    A terrible accident, although I’m sure that after watching the video, most will come to similar conclusion as to the “probable” cause.
    Even though we can’t actually say so on here.

    Yes thanks.
    We still hope to do the London trip at a later date.

    Would have loved to have gone, but I knew traffic would be a big problem.

    There’s 7 Blackhawks in formation heading towards Leeming from the west, making quite a sound.

    Sounds like the same ones which flew over here on the 8th Maybe an exercise going on ? #154

    It didn’t realize there was so much to see in the museum.
    We spent an hour and a half in there, and didn’t see everything.

    It’s a shame that by the time the SeaKing flew past, most people had left.

    Thanks for the additional info, a mystery solved.
