Exclamation Anyone fromn around Bracknell

see this?

Must have looked amazing.

As for some of the more sensational apsects of the report, like:

"airliner almost clipped trees and buildings"

if you know what happened, it shows journalism in a bad light, again.

That's what happens when the pilot gets lost - they fly low and follow the M4 to Heathrow

A spokeswoman for National Air Traffic Services (NATS), which is responsible for air movements over the UK, said: "NATS is aware there was an aircraft flying lowish over Bracknell on Wednesday 14.

"It was so close that you could clearly see the name of the airline on the side."

I can read them at 1000ft plus....

It flew straight over my house and was something you don't normally see every day! None of the local newspapers have published any details on what it was/why it happened.

A neighbour and I just assumed the plane was in trouble and heading towards Farnborough for an emergency landing.

Scott - it was in the Midweek News this week. I didnt hear it, I was in Feltham right next to Heathrow at the time so low flying planes weren't unusual !!!

Headline was something along the lines of "I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE AS PLANE NEARLY CRASHED" or something equally as dramatic !!

Happy Xmas everyone !!
