I wish I lived there!

I wish I lived there! In South Yorkshire we hardly ever see any military aircraft, except perhaps the odd Nimrod on its way to Woodford.

Time was when we'd see Tornados, Harriers, A-10s and the occasional helicopter knocking about at reasonably low level, presumably to avoid the civil stuff heading for MIA. Now it's all airliners going to MIA, LBA and Robin Hood - which everyone calls Finningley anyway - and nary a sniff of the military except for the very infrequent transit of a SAR Sea King.

So let's have some, so that the people round here can see that flying isn't just Thomsonfly, Flybe and Ryanair.

By the way, Beags, I have a beard, so it's not the badge you think it is.
