To bloody hate flight radar

I am away at the moment with friends in a house about half hour from the nearest airport. It's a huge European airport. They have all gone inside for a snooze and I am outside on a sun lounger to read my book.

Except I can't read my bloody book cos it turns out we are on the flight path and there are loads of planes passing over. I seem to have developed a bit of an obsession with wanting to know where planes are going and have come from so I can't even read more than a couple of pages without having to flick back to bloody flight radar to check. I do this at home too but the planes seem to be every hour or so there. Here it's relentless.

I have already broken off twice from this post to work out that the planes passing are from Munich and Gothenburg respectively. This enhances my life in no way at all yet I can't help myself.

It was Mumsnet who told me about Flight Radar. Who do I complain to?! Blush

I assume that this is what the post 'Hercules ZH872(Ascot 233) being vectored onto ILS for touch and go(0750), followed by further ILS, before being vectored to overhead Dewsbury' is referring to, but it's all Greek to me Smile.

Well, DP is a bus driver and has a colleague that's a bus spotter so that's taking it to a whole new (absolutely harmless) level.
