Daily mail, first with the news again!
 
Next up, Man Eats Breakfast in Morning Before Work.

A source close to the individual, believed to be his wife, stated that he "put on his shirt just like every day, but had to think which tie to wear."

Researchers claim that ties are the most common neck accessory for male office workers.


There, I'm ready to work for the Mail!!! By the way...how does a road have a heart??

The DM really is the pits. I wonder what an "extreme" airport is?

The Daily Mail can today reveal for the first time that England and Wales have more rain than the Namib Desert.

Incident at Humberside earlier in year where a drunken former employee drove car onto airfield. Runway incursion etc. before scarpering.

KLM flight inbound from AMS, able to hold for further seven minutes BEFORE diverting to LBA/DSA/MAN or wherever, was on 'it's last drops of fuel'.

They have another use too, it's where they store the chemicals for the chemtrail spraying.
A shocking DM in-depth investigation will be published soon.

How much are their houses worth?

And all those people crossing an active runway with no high viz jacket on, how can that be possible with today's health and safety :rolleyes:

Planemike 26th Nov 2014 09:24

May indicate we don't really need them.

RAF Ballykelly in Co Antrim used to have a railway line :eek: cross theirs IIRC.......

RedhillPhil 26th Nov 2014 11:27

When I was traincrew based at Cambridge we used to have to call the control tower at Oakington before passing by with a freight train - didn't apply to passenger trains.

Reputedly the only airfield in the world where there's been an instance of a cow getting killed by a train on the runway. :O

Wait till they learn that Clacton International* Airstrip has a walkway used by pedestrians going right across the runway!

International cos it's by the coast and thus provides easy access for any illegal immigrant with a C152 :E

Sydney airport used to have a train line crossing the main N/S runway.

Then, one poor-viz day, the holes in the swiss cheese lined up and a DC3 on take-off collided with a freight locomotive crossing that runway.
Guess who came off second best?

Described, with photos, here:

:: The Spirits of Ansett

though the account suggests that the DC-3 was taxying at the time, having lined up for the wrong runway (04/22, the one crossed by the railway).

Aircraft is forced to abandon first landing due to strong winds at Portugal's Madeira Airport.
A pilot struggled to land a passenger jet in strong winds at Madeira Airport in Portugal on Thursday.

Footage shows the Transavia Boeing plane flying towards the runway before the pilot suddenly lifts the nose of the plane.

The pilot continued to fly the aircraft and then made another attempt at landing.

Almost worthy of the Daily Mail, but this was in the Telegraph, whose journalistic standards seem to be giving the Mail some competition.
