Merlin over Threadneedle Street yesterday?

I could have sworn I heard one going over - was there?

Hard to say with those tall buildings, but quite a few people looked up.

(Merlin engine, that is!)

More likely to have been a Peregrine
You don't get Merlins in cities very often

Perhaps the BBMF have been re-rolled for Olympic defence duty against light aircraft to fill the gap between too-slow Puma and too-fast Typhoon?

You know someone has issues when they join the board to insult you by PM, but still can't quite bring themselves to swear properly when they're doing it.

Hey Dcikhead who gives a fcuk if a helicopter flew over London. Get a life loser.
You'll hate me for saying this chum, but the Hurricane making its way home earlier sounded good too. For making me smile.. thanks Sham Shom, and welcome to the board.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Al, you are so right. There are many of us on this board that may never have met but who have respect for each other and there are some . . .
