Seen Over Your House Today

It was back again this afternoon, and appeared to be moving North to South along Offa's Dyke.   Either the Welsh are getting restive or they thought I was pruning the climbing roses in a dangerously subversive manner.

Ah ! White roses by any chance ? Given today's events then they could consider you a possible Plantagenet rebel 

Yes, white roses!!

I have no room to talk.  My mother's family were Puritans...and kicked out of every decent country in Europe in 1622.

Thanks Kit ! The sun gets all the glory....might as well toss the moon in there once in awhile eh ?

....which fascinates me 'cos if Richard was a Catholic why was he buried in a C of E service? Pointless pants!!

We were discussing exactly the same thing in the pub last night

TOPEKA KANSAS USA
BLACKHAWKS DOWN!
2 Blackhawk helicopters were landing in the football field at Topeka West High School as I approached on the street.
Unfortunately between dodging motorized maniacs, drinking coffee, smoking a cigarette and listening to a dulcimer quartet on the radio, (Plus the fact I had no camera with me) No images are available.

[Captain Canada]

That would have been pretty sweet to see !

In the words of Anglican Canon DePoncier (Vancouver B.C. and he who married my parents)
when asked about the why of the thurible and other trappings:
"Well, when the smoke clears, one can see Rome."

So I got up close to a 777 today, my first one I've seen too.

Also saw the FedEx A310 arrive this morning again and then later I saw this one too (again, not my photo)

[kitnut617]

And I forgot about this one I saw yesterday, it was still at the gate this morning and I was able to get about 20 feet from it (nearly under the nose)



Also on the apron today -- a Cathay Pacific Cargo 747.  Only I couldn't get very close to it as it was parked away from the gates

[Captain Canada]

You working on the ramp Robert ? I love the old 310s. I love the way the propprtions make it look big. I know it is big, but it's just one of those aeros that look right to me....

[kitnut617]

You working on the ramp Robert ?

There's a lot of construction going on at YYC Todd, my job with the Commissionaires is to escort workers who don't have clearance to areas that are air-side. So I get to go on the ramp on occasions. I'm training to be a driver too.

[Captain Canada]

Cool. Don't get caught takin any pics. My Uncle Raymond Charron was a Commissionaire out that way for awhile

[kitnut617]

Cool. Don't get caught takin any pics.

It's why I'm posting pics of what I see from what I can find on the internet, and why I'm not claiming I took any of them.

[rickshaw]

Why aren't you allowed to take pictures? 

[PR19_Kit]

How did the pics on the Internet get taken???

[NARSES2]

How did the pics on the Internet get taken???

Publicity shots

Why aren't you allowed to take pictures? 

In this day and age ? Security threats real or perceived
