Anyone know why/when it stopped? Economics, traffic (increasing LCY ops must have had some effect?), or simply overtaken by the march of technology?
No doubt due to cameras on every corner, thousands of unpaid 'correspondents' texting/phoning/tweeting incidents and accidents in near real time. Wasn't there some bloke called Russ(el) ? flying or commentating from the Capital Radio steed back then ?
As an aside there was a pretty noisy twin doing many circuits over the capital a few days ago at the higher altitude mentioned earlier, notable in the respect that it was very obvious compared to it's Bembridge brethren. It looked like a PA31 and that would make it one of those that fills in, as it were.
