Planes over Reading
Discussion
Heathrow arrivals are approaching from the West today which would make the traffic more noticeable. I think they approach from the East about 4 days out of 5, someone will know the exact proportion. Even when the wind is from the East they sometimes land that way if it isn't too strong.
Irrelevant anecdote alert!
Sometime in the early 1960s I was with my Mum shopping in Kingston, Surrey. We'd just left Bentalls and heard someone say, "What's all that then?"
They were looking up and in the sky were what seemed like dozens of vapour trails, circling around, criss-crossing and heading in all directions.
One old chap got really agitated and shouted, "The balloon's gone up!, the balloon's gone up!" and people were starting to get quite worried.
It turned out to be a rehearsal for the Farnborough Air Show.
