Cessna I plate - I noticed both Beeb and Granada presenters sat in RH seat for a piece to camera. Probably done that way becuase if they'd been in LH seat, the FE's station would have prevented the cameraman from getting a good angle onto the presenter. But I agree - calling it the Captain's seat is just sloppy reporting.
I was driving so I cant quote what was said verbatim, but a lady newsreader commented that "it might be quite difficult to catch a glimpse of Concorde as it flies over London because it flies at supersonic speed".
Poet - serves you right for listening to R5
You're old enough, like me, to be a R4 man
