Are they an hour behind again?
Not an hour, but I definitely saw #17291 before #19292 appeared on the next refresh, and this has happened before.

Of course you have. You're on one page and if you check the page boxes at the bottom you see that a new number has appeared.

Remember al the F5 stuff a year back, or are you on bottle five?

....but I definitely saw #17291 before #19292
Would you not expect that????

Well, the way you described it, it was if you got a personal message saying "there's someone on the next page!"...

Ok..I'm tired...

Depends on the bank angle and the load factor applied.

Wanna front view? OK, coming up.

Yes. See my response to Graeme. It is not only a pselling error. Its an odre error, too.

Now, your Honour, I'll rest my case before it turns worse against me.

Edit: And no, I am not having a TIA.

From the front, or if you flew Lightnings, from the rear.



I'm sure the Lightning would have caught this thing, and matched it for altitude.

OK Oz mate, note that I have just opened a bottle of a rather fine 07 Chablis.

It's 1223 local (GMT) time here.

Errr - did I just note an RD post evaporate?

Can't get my head round this one mate. With your second image I'd expect to see a port high-wing shadow in your first image.

Nice wine? (smacks lips).
