RE: BA plane at missile strike

The commander of a NATO warship has been reported to aviation authorities after he ordered a scheduled passenger flight off its normal route.
It has been reported that the commander told the aircraft that it was entering a military area before issuing the order.

The aircraft was travelling from the Hebridean island of Lewis to Benbecula in the Western Isles when a warning came on an emergency panel.

The pilot of the Highland Airways flight turned off course before air traffic controllers intervened to bring it back onto its normal route.

The airline and air traffic controllers have formally complained to the Civil Aviation Authority.

It is thought the warship, a foreign vessel, may have been firing Sea Dart missiles in the area.

This is the second incident in the past few days involving the same NATO operation off the west coast of Scotland.

On Tuesday a British frigate fired a shell into a loch eight miles off target and just one mile from the village of Durness.

RE: Article on plane spotting

I have got a lot of stick in the past but most ppl pass me off for what i am – my grandparents live in deepest Suffolk and have taken me off the top of my head to Stansted, Mildenhall, Lakenheath, Woodbridge, Alconbury, Ipswich, Clacton and Beccles (all when were open)- and my dad has sometimes unwittingly taken me to airshows at Church Fenton and Elvington, but also regularly to Leeds (which i also bus), Manchester and even Sheffield, East Mids, Wittering and Liverpool, Caenafon in passing, and they always set aside a couple of hours on holiday at the local gateway.

I agree with Dan – when i was in Lanzarote i hired a bike and as it was a school tip there were 2 ppl outta 8 who had never flown before and they were asking everything about it – whats he doing, where we going, how fast, which is our plane? and they were genuinly interested and as i went out nearly every day to catch early arrivals and departures at Arrecife 15 minutes away by bike i even took 3 of em down on mornings and they weer amazed wit the scanner (obviously i kept the notebook hidden and was storing them on my fone). But the same has happened with mates askign about y it is quicker home from florida than going etc and i think that with most ppl the facination of how 300 tonnes of metal can b thrust so fast up in to the deep blue yonder is there.
