Follow the twinkling lights?
What was all that on teletext this morning... about a giant Christmas tree in Sussex going to be used as a new "approach beacon" for pilots landing at Gatwick?
Just so long as they don't use the one in Trafalgar Square by mistake - recall the two gasometers north of Heathrow!

Actually I was wondering all day how lights on the Giant Redwood in Kew Gardens was going to help anyone on their way to Gatwick. You don't thing that the CEEFAX journos got their facts wrong do you?
Chocks away!

Actually the tree is at Wakehurst which is "owned" by Kew Gardens. Wakehurst is just north of Ardingly resevoir and probably only about 15 miles from Gatwick as the crow or 747 flies.....
