Boeing 747

[iceage2]

What a shock, tonight whilst out in my garden, being in Swansea which is the usual flight path for planes to America, the British Airways test flight flew over at a few thousand feet have never seen a plane this low in this area before. My children were amazed!!!!

Missed the plane plane because I was trying to locate it with the virtual radar on my computer, looked like it was over Devon (Doh, slap forehead). Went outside to find it had flown overhead, as they do. Took this photo at least half an hour after it had passed, probably a bit more. Then waited for it to return but never did (between about 8:10 to 8:40PM). Nice to come back a different way to the way you went I suppose, like a walk.

It's a shame I was sitting at a computer and trying to follow a 'blip' on the internet really. Lesson learned hopefully!

It would be great if other people contributed to this thread with photos/descriptions/EWA (eye witness accounts). We surely can't have been the only ones to witness (or nearly witness) this historic renegade flight IRL (in real life)
