I just feel for the dissapointed people onboard who have spent hard earned cash on this 87 tour.
Not returning with the expected traction they wanted and getting home late.
Did anyone capature the Colas top and tail 47's on Monday in Devon,positioning with the RHTT.
I'n videoed them at the sea wall in Dawlish,but did'nt get the chance to see which two 47's they used.
whats currently doing the Penzance sleeper at the moment? Someone in Dawlish this week said the 57 was busted.
Ive just spent a week in an apt on the sea wall in Dawlish chasing HST's etc
I videoed it at Tackley,North of Oxford at 1905.
5029 working hard with 47773 on the back,sounded fantastic.
On the the point raised,50049 is booked for a charter on 16th Oct,with D444 Exeter.
Anyone got the pathing times for this trip outbound and return.
47773 outbound and 5029 Nunney Castle on the return.
Interested in its approx timings through Oxfordshire.
I think the 67's are only planned for the early commuter run around 07.00ish according to my local rag.
At the moment Bicester is seeing some nice traction with the Wrexham run and Virgin at weekends.
if its Charter action your after,yep Gatwick is the place to be.
Pre 2001 both Heathrow and Gatwick had great spectators facilities,Gatwick was the based in my opinon back then.
You can't beat a good sunny day parked up at the Airport,with your AirBand receiver in one hand,Binoculars in the other and just listen to those Aircraft engines roar up for take off.
Then cross checking your book hoping you can mark of another one.
You should'nt beleive everything you read on Wikipedia !! The R/W change over time has to be flexible,Also certain aircraft will be brought in on the opposite runway that may being used for landing at that time.
Especially if there approach speed to land is slower then some of the scheduled...
