Whicker's World
Been putting up flags today in a spectacular location. Every 20 minutes or so a 'plane flew over. It was an awesome sight. I dunno how many tonnes of aircraft flying right overhead and coming into land. You just had to stop and watch.
Why is this post titled Whicker's World? I remember watching a TV programme called that and I seem to remember the title sequence had a shot similar to the video above. It was indicitive of the world he portrayed. Jetting off to give us mere mortals a glimpse of the lifestyles of the rich & famous. Jet travel was still something only Rich people did.
There's also a kind of pride in the human race. We made tonnes of aircraft fly through the air...
...having said that. The other day I spent 5 minutes of my dinner break watching a bird of prey hover over a hedge row 50 metres away. Then drop on something.
Kind of difficult to decide which mode of flight was more impressive.
