That's exactly what I thought!

Imagine if BA are trying to land one of their long-haul flights on the same runway that Amazon are trying to land a new popular motoring show. It could be absolute chaos in the air/on the ground, especially when you consider that a TV program isn't even an aircraft and frankly has no business trying to land at Heathrow anyway. I'm furious at their nerve and will be returning my Kindle in a bid to keep our runways clear.

Sort of related. Looks like Amazon are clamping down on the opposition and banning sales of other makers tv
devices.

Cheers. I found Prime Video to be pretty crap anyway and after trying to get me to pay for it with the Prime membership I dropped it. Can't see why they can't just let it be played on a Chromecast.

I don't know - maybe I do? I thought Speedbird was the logo for Imperial Airlines, later BOAC and was adopted as a callsign then?

you are correct,

Wiki said:
The Speedbird is the stylised emblem of a bird in flight designed in 1932 by Theyre Lee-Elliott as the corporate logo for Imperial Airways.

Oh - were we talking about Speedbird then ? Gotcha. I thought it might be just a typical PH off-topic ramble into old airlines.

Its a one-off before he goes back to the bbc. After all, Jeremy Clarkson has been sacked. Jennifer Clarkson hasn't,,,
