Oops, Naughty Typhoon...

Postby C » Thu Nov 11, 2004 4:47 pm

In the UK we have temporary class A airspace. The Royal Sqn flys in it (when carrying Royals), and generally, you keep out of it from 15 mins before ETD and 30 mins after ETA (I've got an exam on this tomorrow you know)....

Except a Typhoon out of Warton didn't... :P

I'm sorry but what a complete bunch of rubbish. Fair enough he was within 3.3 miles but thats hardly cause for the wording that artical uses.
It is understood the princess has carried on with her engagements in Scotland.

No, I'm sure the Princess would have been really worried when she found out - in Scotland! Maybe the sight of the RAFs lesser spotted Typhoon is enough to give her a shock... ;)

Lol, I saw it too. I just thought a jet with 400 people on board would get less press.  ::)
