Stop that Polish chatter Tomasz Kuszczak
and steer 2-3-0.
Repeat, please.
I say again, 2-3-0.
Repeat, please.
For crying out loud, 2-3-0!
- Repeat, please.
- Repeat, please.
Now, just shut up,
the lot of you, and follow me...
unless you're blind
as well as...
Oh, God's truth.
Shut up!
Silence, in Polish!

Was playing golf in Northolt this morning/afternoon and the whole fly past went over at about a thousand feet EXCEPT the BOB contingent - brilliant but frustrating in equal measure.

Amazed at how quiet the A400M was for a turboprop.

What do you grow in your allotment? Purely out of interest you understand.

Broccoli, sprouts, red cabbage, beetroot, spuds, chard, pak choi, runner/broad beans, toms, basil, lemongrass, celery, celeriac,squash, onions, garlic, asparagus, cucumber, multitude of fruit and weeds. :)

Saw the fly past from my balcony in Hackney - right in the line of the run in to The Mall. Very impressive and seemed lower than 1000 feet!

That's an impressive list. Interesting chaps allotments. Forced to give mine up last year as my back just couldn't cope with it anymore. I still have a trug in the back garden, that l grow small veg and herbs in though.

My Dad has had an allotment for 33 years in Brighton and what he doesn't know about growing veg isn't worth knowing. But AR - that is a hugely impressive list mate.

Literally just got back from Duxford where my dad did this today (well flew alongside a spitfire as the actual flying of it was a bit too expensive).
Let me know what you would like to know.

Jealous as hell.
Dont film the experience on your device like a millennial ......its yours to own and enjoy by yourself for that personal memory bank.
