    Looks like Mu will need to set an extra place setting :)

    It's ok, we can go around if we miss the runway, not like there are any
    trees nearby or anything.

    Our friends are currently in the air betwixt San Diego and Chicago,
    en-route to us.

    We haven't bothered changing the sheets on the spare bed yet...

    How should it have been, then? With a longish exposure and some wind,
    I'd expect it to look blurred like that.

    Also, the location of the constellations match what would be seen in the
    north-easterly direction at 11-12 pm at that latitude, from Lyra (with
    Vega) in left centre to Corona borealis at the right.

    Presumably that doesn't apply to helicopters? Only I saw one around
    6PM.

    It doesn't apply to anything flying under Visual Flight Rules. This
    evening I saw a Cessna 152 turning onto final approach to Luton. I bet
    it's been a while since that happened.

    Private pilots and helicopters tend to fly low, below the worst of the
    problem. Also small private aircraft fly slower so they are less
    vulnerable to windscreen etching and have piston engines which are less
    likely to be damaged than turbines.

    OTOH, I would not do it.

    Given the flight updates I've just seen from Virgin, you might have
    some time to do that later on.

    Anyway, I read that Clegg was already in Manc, and Brown & Cameron were
    poncing around Yorkshire or summat.
