Re: N373AL Far Eastern Air Transport ! Updated to Spicejet !

The Army at Middle Wallop kindly hosted 2 tour groups this morning, and most photos will appear on the FC site, but as these 2 carry civil markings, here goes. https://c7.staticflickr.com/8/7584/27211636414_d55f501f19_b.jpg DSC_5588 by p&jstevens , on Flickr https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7650/272122...

Next to the flying club, alongside the Rizon building. It is well signposted.

If you find yourself served by Pauline, talk to her about Cliff Richard - her favourite visitor.

Re: Clattenburg to get FA Cup winners medal?

As a ref, I find it is generally props who flop over under the posts, and claim afterwards in the bar that it was a sprint from 60 metres!

Clattenburg to get FA Cup winners medal?

How can our top referee make 3 such game changing blunders unless he wanted Man Utd to win the cup. He should be demoted. :mad:
