On the other hand if you're doing a flypast at the Farnborough Air Show and don't see the lights, look South.
An American B52 bomber flew from America for a flypast at the Farnborough Air Show yesterday but picked the wrong airfield.
To the consternation of the announcer and spectators at the Hampshire airfield the US bomber could be seen over Blackbushe, five miles to the north-west.
Show organisers initially appeared confused by the non-appearance of the bomber. "It didn't fly over Farnborough," one said. "It flew over Blackbushe instead.
"You could just see it in the very clear distance. We don't really know what happened, it is being looked into."
They later issued a statement saying: "We can confirm that the Boeing B52H Stratofortress did not arrive at the airfield".
From the
Daily Telegraph in 2004. I believe the flight originated in the USA and landed back there afterwards. I imagine the crew spent a few uncomfortable hours crossing the Atlantic while they contemplated the bo££ocking that awaited them on their return. Now what was that about the B52's precision bombing capabilities?
