Still waiting on the digital arriving, so here’s the last of the sunny day pics whilst I wait.
Paisley/ Donegal / Glasgow and the odd spell all over the place.

Here ?
From the picture I tried to post above you could see clearly that the horizontal bit was indeed a cable, it had some slackness in it, which can’t be seen in the original pic.
The most important service provided on a flight last summer was the score updates in the World Cup which was being played at the time.
Other than this, I like to hear the weather updates, turbulence warnings, time to arrival, direction of arrival, old man passenger’s first flight announcements, cues for birthday sing alongs, “you may know use the toilets” after long seatbelt sessions.
I also like to know what’s causing a delay and not just being told “we’re delayed” for example, on arrival at LAX ” We’re unable to disembark you right now because that big Thai Airlines 747 out the window to your right has failed to get out of our space in time”
All of the above served with a dose of wit and cheerfulness purrrlease ! 😀
Yes, great pictures Monster, very nice indeed.
Whoops, not letting me post pics again.
Like in this shot…
It looks like a row of antenna joined together by cable ?

For weeks now I’ve been waking up in the morning with a hand written chapter from Lord Of The Rings beside me on the pillow.
The doctor thinks I’ve been Tolkien in my sleep ! boom boom 😀
Interesting shots indeed Roger, keep them coming.:cool:

It’s old footage we’re on about.
In 1998 just about all my friends got married and I took pictures of their weddings. In 1999 most of them were…. er…. well fertilised ! 😀
Needless to say, they don’t get out very much these days.

The Old Grey Whistle Test ran a session with SLF for half an hour and U2 for half an hour – I don’t suppose you could ask one of your TV colleagues to find it for us !!!!!!!!!!!
If it ain’t in the BBC Scotland library then I can’t get at it unfortunately. The London archives get so many requests they’ve just stopped entertaining them. There was something in the staff paper about the archives being opened up to the public fairly soon though. I’ll see what happens.
