It's Gordon Brown's new sceheme to stop assylum seekers and illegal immigrants getting into the country. really? I thought he'd declared a state of maximum alert and called all relevant agencies to implement the "Tools Down It's Tea Time" emergency plans preventing any back-handed immigration work getting done.

stu7708 244 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Looks abit like the Iron Curtain all you have to do is start digging. Some one is already doing the digging for me. Look at the overhead shot, to the left and right of the peaks are what looks like bottom-less pits, and as I flew further west the wall came up, while the eastern parts of it changed in to deep pits. And so it continued until I made it to the channel.. Even had to divert from my flight plan because I didn't feel like trying to fly trough it... with a cancelled IFR-plan beeing the result.. what's worse, it was the second time I had my IFR-plan cancelled in the same flight First time was on take off.. as soon as I got airborne it was clear that the tower at the airport I was departing (Odiham AFB, EGVO) was on the same frequency as a nearby ATIS.. so all I could do for 5 minutes was listen to the ATIS, and then get a frustrated tower saying "Did you hear my last transmition?" only to have the ATIS comming on again before I could respond :smile: Link to post Share on other sites
mike H 456 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I can see what you mean now. They are not pits, that is where we started digging the Channel Tunnel many years ago, then change our minds as it was in the wrong place and turned it into the M25. Maybe you were right the first time it is the Pits if you have ever been stuck in a traffic jam and you are trying to get to Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton or Stanstead in a hurry. :smile: Link to post Share on other sites
