WB - given the Heath's reputation, that turn of phrase could be seen as "unfortunate"!

Perhaps I should rephrase my question. It landed on parliament hill fields just behind my house. The gay thing happens about a mile away. It did a touch and go and left before I could run downstairs, grab my camera and take a pic. Very impressive and hats off to the aircrew if they are reading this. Normally I ignore the air ambulance but this was different.

Its a big beast but very agile. Clearly flown very well. BZ.

He does seem well up on what I assume is all the correct terminology....

Well I do not know who got out, but someone did because i watched it and he/she was not in the my local. If it was an army type he would be barred from everywhere anyway, most good pubs in Hampstead only tolerate naval officers. As for the RAF they have to go to Kilburn or Hillingdon and places like that. I think there are bye-laws about them congregating in civilised areas.

Merry Christmas everyone here is something fun. I wish you a Happy new year and many more to follow.

Well consider me duly chastised, I'll try to refrain from dropping the b word. I did enjoy briefly spotting the merlin again today. Still interested in what goes on at night on Bunhill fields though!
