Talking What DID happen on the Easterlies desk..??

Am I being exceedingly dumb/stupid or have I completely missed the plot re: the Easterlies desk!??!?

Was there an encounter of sorts that is being told??

Regards,

Mr Thicky

Someone told me that there's a mysterious crack in the lighting panel at Heathrow. That explains some of the weird routes around the airfield...or is that just the lighting operators?

I can categorically say that it (whatever it was!)wasn't on the lighting panel!

I wonder how far this will run?

And of course, what security get up to is even more interesting!
