Sorry

Just thought it was strange post, forgetting I was with the camera wielders.

It's a very interesting post and I am grateful for it, although I suspect the aircraft will not route over southern UK unfortunately.

[Ian Brooks]

Possibly not but a Malasian Air Force CL415 is shortly to depart Manchester and should head south

Beautiful. A lot of individuals and organizations out there that would really love to bring harm to that flight, particularly an Israeli flight, and you go out of your way to publish the details. Well done.

Sometimes it's best to keep one's observations to ones self.

They're as fair game as any I'd say. Picking up on your point, it is really about why someone would want to do them harm. In my experience whether it be my kids, colleagues or friends, if you mind your own behaviour no-one wishes you harm... but that's another debate of course........... RR
