Manston Questions
Was working in Ramsgate today and noted a Virgin A340 G-VFLY doing some circuits. What do they do down there in deepest Kent ? Testing ? Training ? Any ideas ?

Hehe, probably the same airframe that made me sit around all day when I was trying to do circuit training for my PPL at Manston lol. Kinda hard to maintain 4 minutes separation when you are in a C152 and the damn thing is charging up behind you

Had exactly the same experience 6 or so years ago, sharing the circuit at Manston in a 152 with a Virgin 747...

Anyone know where MK's inbound flight finally put down last night? It made an approach to MSE at around 11:15pm and aborted the attempt around two miles from the threshold, reportedly due to the high winds. Didn't come back.
