First of all - thanks to GGR for the background on practise flights and to others in other forums who told me it was a practise.
Second: Bloody Hell - what's winding people up? I wasn't showing off - far from it. I was politely asking a question that I assumed would only be answered by a local and I used a shorthand I assumed would be understood by aviation locals. I didn't give it a second thought. I am truly sorry if it offended but our 19 year old travel clerk based down south uses it and I had no idea it would cause a storm. Would cause"Doncaster" really have been any better?
I did say it flew over my house and my location is "near Finningley" but I guess that wasn't any help either.
