Planespotting Live on BBC Four
Tonight at 8pm, and then for a further two nights, Peter Snow and Andi Peters will be live on BBC Four, standing at the East Midlands Aeropark watching a variety of Jet2 and DHL planes coming in to land at EMA.
It's at East Midlands as, apparently, Heathrow said no. The two scheduled departures for that hour will make for thrilling television...

In defense of EMA, (was based there for some time) during late evenings their are on some occasions (and by no means am i claiming they will be there tonight) some interesting cargo Aircraft i.e Ilyushin and AN225. Probably not going to see these at LHR plus with AC departing/arriving every few minutes the beeb will loose the suspense factor.

Very true that I worked at EMA about that time, and each night out on the ramp I would see DC-3, DC-6, Belfasts, Convair 580s, DC-8s B727s etc and did a few wheel changes on some.

OMG, it’s ... AWFUL! 
And as for John Snow, looking like an escapee from a care home and displaying his ignorance every couple of minutes ... who ever thought he was the one to try and front this?

Should have put it on a bit later, would have been ideal for insomniacs..
Coming LIVE to BBC Four soon:
1. Snow and Peters paint a fence - watch it dry live!
2. Live coverage of the grass growing in Snow and Peters' back gardens....

747 crews may have been intrigued to learn, that, the types engines consume "200.000 litres...in a flash ! "....as we were informed last night
Plus, one of the more unusual destination / distance examples.....London to Cape Horn...direct ( as the line on the map kindly illustrated. )
