Re: A day at the beach, C-130 style

Nice set Alex, you made it closer than I did - I'd never been before and didn't expect the walk from the car park to take me an hour! Lesson learned for next time I think!

Re: Any Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings Fans on here

Adderman, we took a very bumpy 4 wheel drive to that river bank. Watched the fellowship on the flight home and constantly pointed at the screen "been there!"

Incredible place. New Zealand is really the star of those films.

Afternoon all,

The above is showing on the notoriously unreliable flightradar arrivals list for St Athan tomorrow. Does anybody have any knowledge as to what this might be if it is indeed real?
