Bigflesh- that last post made me look at your other posts. How did you post this:
......when your current posts are different? Is this some idea of a making fools of people or has your punctuation deteriorated that much?

Why was it circling first though..? very odd.. thank you for filling me in anyway Jimmy and thanks to all of you who tried your best to "not tell me"... the truth will out!
My request to Manchester ATC was serious, although I doubt it will be upheld. Sometimes, just sometimes (especially in the summer at 2am onwards) I get westbound arrivals doing a direct to MCR and I see them coming over south sheffield desending through fl50 for 40, usually in a line with Eckington, Norton, Edale, Castleton for an 8 mile 24R/L arrival. But never at other times.
Still keen to know why the Nimmy was doing circuits over my head for 15 minutes? was it waiting to transit through SHEFFIELD CITY AIRPORT airspace as it was only at 3000ft....and MCR ATZ, send some more 20 miles south of Upton - for me - for a laugh. Go on as I will see from my living room north facing windows in my house. If its getting a bit dark I will see the lights on the aerocrafts flashing, and that will be simply brilliant for me.
WIWON we went to some trouble NOT to tell everybody what we were doing, so who is Bigflesh that he expects to be told?
Who is WIWON - has his post been removed as it shed further light on the Nimrod that was circling above my head?..... I just wanna know because I share a joint facination in aerocraft. I am a harmless plane lover thats all. PLEASE HELP me.

Nice one and thank you. It went northbound at 5.15pm after circling for 15 mins. Deffo looked like a Nimrod due to the wing thingies. It must have turned left westbound shortly after passing directly over the city centre at 3000ft, or gone up to Upton.
Nice one but would love to know why it was in the "random hold" nowhere near a VOR or NDB. Do you think it came from Waddington?

If Bigflesh is truly dyslexic, that's fine- nobody would have any complaint, but unfortunately a lot of people seem to derive some sort of pleasure from trying to 'make fun' of people on the net. An explanation would be appreciated of why Bigflesh's English has changed so much since last May. As long as it is genuine, nobody would mind posting here. So Bigflesh.....your audience awaits........

i am sorry as i share my dads username. i will come back on a different username.
Jakes Dad - Hi guys, sorry about this. My lad has indeed been using my username. I'll look at getting him sorted with another, however, I have to say - I am not too happy with the hard time he has seemed to have got from some of you guys. He's only 14. Whilst I appreciate this is a professional forum, I'd expect a good degree of understanding to all people, age and disabilities respected. My apologies again. Great forum though. Hope this clears things up.

We don't have the time or the inclination to allow people to take good meaning folk on PPRuNe for fools. Well I don't, and I don't much care who the username belongs too. It is now banned - and the thread is closed.
