Years of working on/near military airbases makes me somewhat immune to the noise.  I also sometimes fall into the mode of "ah, the sound of a happy customer..." ;)

... This is (one reason) why I'm not David Attenborough. ;)

There is only one David Attenborough! And yes, he'd be heck at identifing members of genus Lutrinae.

But could Dave distinguish one species of hairy Viking from the North from another? I think not  ;D

Yes, but, if there was even the slightest doubt, he's a tad more likely to have done the research before writing anything. ;)

British Airways Boeing B787-8 Dreamliner, registration G-ZBJB, appears to have suffered a collapsed nose gear at Heathrow Airport this morning leaving it with its forward fuselage resting on the ground.
The aircraft is seen at an obscure angle, with fire and rescue services in attendance.

No official statement has been released yet.

Delivered 8 years ago, this aircraft was originally equipped with 154 economy seats, 25 premium economy and 35 in the business class cabin but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this aircraft was being used for cargo operations, and no passengers were onboard at the time of the incident.

 Why any sane, rational person would choose to go underwater in one of those things, I will never know! I would rather grill my tes@&+les over a low flame,  while brushing on Tabasco sauce.

Ok, so I've organised with the owner of this property in Russia to help clean up his place. He's said that you can take one and only one of these planes!
So what's it going to be??🤔

Seven 443 Sqn Mustangs in a line with three Lancasters at the far end including 871 from 407 Sqn. There is a fourth Lancaster in front of the Mustangs between the hangers. (RCAF photo)
