Just back from a weeks hols in Jersey this morning.

Watched them depart this morning after their 4 day stay, Albert arriving at around the same time to pick up their stuff.

Whilst taxiing out for departure on 09, noticed the position of the aforementioned earth bank - quite displaced to the S of the threshold and well away from the "cliff" that drops to St Ouen's Bay below (assuming I was looking at the correct earth bank, of course)

Great to see them displaying against the backdrop of St Aubyn's Bay on Thurs pm (pity that the late morning Guernsey show had to be scrubbed due Wx).

To pick up on an earlier comment - BA did operate an L1011 to EGJJ - once - to clear a backlog of EGLL pax after one of those foggy Jersey days - I was in Guernsey on holiday at the time (late 70's, don't remember the exact Year) and remember seeing it reported on the local news
