Thanks Robin.

So, no wonder there are no more CC-188s around! These aircraft had very long ranges. However, with their endless circling over the moors whilest the Nav scouring and re-scouring his map of North Yorkshire, there was only ever going to be one outcome  :o

Yeah, Nah . . . just head for the clouds of pollution from all of the heavy industry that was still in the area then !   ;D
Seriously, now most of that's gone, there's some very beautiful countryside in the area. Also, interestingly, the Yorkshire and North East (Durham, Tees, Wear, and Tyneside / 'Geordie') accents, and dialects are quite different, but there's been almost no mixing across the 'border'. You can tell where you are, just by listening to the locals talk . . .


cheers.
Robin.

Okay, so the CC-188 crews could stooge around above the North York Moors until they spotted those industrial plumes, fly straight into the smog, and then just divert to EDI and call it a day  :smiley:

That DC-8 AWACS had me doing a serious double take. Very subtle and cool. :smiley:
