    This is the type of shot you are stuck with at the other end, by runway 24 which is sadly the predominant runway. This is N31EX arriving from Teterboro, New Jersey:

    That was shortly after it was put in place, the main pier 6 had only just started being constructed at that point.

    When did they start flying to AMS? Have not seem them here yet, nor have I seen pictures of them here. Have I missed something? They are saying tehy want to fly four times daily (once daily in the weekend). That seems a lot of capacity for between AMS and SOU. Especially considering their prices are not really cheap when compared with BMI, easyJet or Ryanair.

    They have been flying it for years!

    I would do but it was half a decade ago that I did it so can’t really remember! I was fortunate in that I had a good teacher and my class was not too unruly. My only advice with any literature type stuff would be to just try and think of the books/poems in terms of what the writer is trying to say to the person reading it. that way you focus on the meaning. It’s when you start just describing the story or the poem that you don’t do very well.

    For example – “Carol Ann Duffy talks about an onion in this poem. This could be seen to represent the complex layered nature of people’s personalities.”
    The above is far better than – “Carol Ann Duffy starts the poem by talking about an onion, then she moves on to talk about (something else), and in the poem she talks about her feelings…” etc etc

    Why does she use an onion? How does she express her feelings? Who is the poet addressing (a lover perhaps? How can you tell?) All these questions are the type of things you need to try and think about when you read the poem.
    I hope that makes some sense.

    Sorry I can’t be more help, the poems are all a vague memory to me now unfortunately!
    Good Luck.

    You’ve brought it all back damn you! I was in a similar situation with a good teacher and a nice class, but hell was it boring! 😡

    Well before my time I’m afraid Steve!

    This afternoon I got a heads up on the departure of the Mexican Gulfstream, and so headed down to have a look. I was overjoyed to see they had swung the runways back round again, however the photography conditions couldnt have been much worse. I shot 11 photos of XA-CHR, but only one or two came out well, the first of which I am going to try and upload today, as these are THE first pics of this newly registered aircraft, believed to be on its first European visit:

    Its G-ELNX, based at Farnborough operated by the executive charter company Eurolynx, and was the plane that Tony Blair was using when it was struck by lightning during the election campaign.

    I’m an Aldershot fan, so temporarily became a Carlisle fan to ensure that we only lost to the best team!

    Cant say I was too impressed with their fans though, storming the pitch in the middle of penalties last week :rolleyes:
