G-CIVI 747 LHR - Bournemouth Today
Parking must be getting tight at LHR. She just flew over at 5000ft, there were almost ripples in my G&T!

I was wondering why I could hear a 747 from home just now ... Quite near the approach path into BOH airport.

May be off the wall but I’d say a pilot!

remember not all pilots are on strike - viz the non union ones or a manager who is also a qualified pilot.

And as already said, not all pilots are in the (any) union and so are not on strike.
