Re: BA Flight lands short of Runway

Hi Arthurgray50@blu,

I don't live far from the Lambourne beacon in Essex and there are as many as 4 or 5 aircraft flying around the stack in the morning when the transatlantic ones come in and from Lambourne they fly over to the reservoirs in the Lee valley where they do a left turn then fly south for a few miles which pass over our house before turning right to pick up the runways at LHR, very impressive sitting out in our back garden on a summer morning watching them.

The problem with hospitals it doesn't make economic sense to have under capacity in case an emergency happens, it's much better to have major incident plans in place in case of such an event, unless you as a tax payer want to pay a lot more to the NHS. You will have to trust me on this, but those plans will work as happened on the 7/7 bombings. We had so many staff available we didn't know what to do with them all, thankfully they weren't needed, but it proved the system.
