We don't seem to have an equivalent thread in here to match the railways ones, despite this being a heavily used part of the forum. May I present to you this clip of a short helicopter ride around Portsmouth back in 2007?

I believe this is the first TOC to do so? LNER has announced it will resume the full, normal, timetable in just over three weeks from now. https://twitter.com/DavidHorne/status/1484512039699636226?s=20

Well, here we go again, another year... Hopefully this year we aren't going to have any loss of opportunity to get out there and get any unbashed track marked off in your atlases! Meanwhile, this thread is being laid and fettled ready to be used at linespeed from tomorrow.

Well, here we go again, another year... Hopefully this year we aren't going to have any loss of opportunity to get out there and see the new stock waiting on your lists! Meanwhile, this thread is freshly ex-works and ready to enter service tomorrow.

Now this is a rare one indeed - a Libyan Government A340 ( 5A-ONE ) currently on approach to Heathrow from Berlin, so an interesting routing as well. I suspect quite a few of you have seen some of the more unusual ones like this recently ( we had a discussion about Air Force One and the...

I wonder if anyone on here has knowledge of the technicalities of modern TVs? We have a Sony Bravia and the TV guide menu on it is one where you can select an upcoming program and press a button to select it, and when it starts the TV automatically turns over to it. Or it did. That worked...

Well, here we go again, another year... While I don't expect there will be much activity for the first couple of months, there are members amongst us who work on the railway or have essential reasons to travel... so the usual thread is here, ready and waiting.

18th December... Channel 5 at 19.00, an Xmas special marked as episode 4/4. ...and while on the subject of missing final episodes, number 6/6 from The Yorkshire Steam Railway finally appears at 20.00 on 23rd December.

Ticket clerk isn't trained on them... Does anyone know the codes to search for please? This is a Southern station, if that helps?

Well, the snooker has resumed - but can anyone explain this new look scoring system for me? I've never seen an even number of frames before! Are we just seeing earlier stages of the tournament that would not normally be shown on TV or have they changed the system in order to get through the...

In a similar vein to the longest line of sight thread: What is the furthest distance you have visually tracked an aircraft? A short while ago I followed a contrail that I had seen appear in the mid distance, watching the plane at the front of it ( with big binoculars ) until it went out of...

21.00 Paddington: a year on the tracks. 22.00 The Tube: Going Underground. Both are billed as new series, but I suspect the first may be composed of clips from Paddington 24/7 that were never shown? The second I have a feeling might have been shown before although it doesn't say "repeat"?

Starts next Friday 1st May at 20.00 on Channel 5, in the slot vacated by Walking Lost Railways. Should be of interest?

Channel 5, Friday 13th March, 19.00. Also Channel 5+1 at 20.00, obviously. It's billed as "new" but I can't help wondering if it's a repeat of the one that was broadcast last summer - in which case it's got quite a lot of historical interest in it but, not surprisingly, very little about the...

No doubt many of us will be riding over routes we have never before traversed in this year?

A new year of bashing is upon us!

Well, here we go again, another year...
