Sorry guys!

The fella who told me is pretty adamant that;

"He knows what he saw"

Apologies, it wasn't a wind up just trying to confirm the tale.

Thanks anyhow.

I disagree on the fact that Southampton has a far too short runway for a 777.

Air lingus fly planes into very short runways all the time; well below the published minimum roll out length. (Although the runways are VERY wide...)

- I'll get my coat... Sorry just kidding

Lesars - URL FAR too long for bulletin board to handle!! Try 'shrunknet'.

italinjon- I recall being in a Chipmunk at RAF St Mawgan wondering whether the runway really was 7500' wide......

A 777 landing at SOU is pretty much illegal.

It will never happen. End of.

The post did make me laugh though, which, after the football yesterday, was much needed.
