Unfortunately the weather forecast doesn’t look great - a continuation of low cloud.

Re: Berkshire M4 motorway 18 April 2024
Hi all
Sorry - I should have it made it clear that these were roadrunning on low loaders so presumably did originate from Wattisham as tommc mentioned above.

Berkshire M4 motorway 18 April 2024
Hi all
Whilst I was heading east long the M4 today near Reading I saw 2 x AH64 helicopters heading westbound at around 1230. I presume they are WAH64Ds probably from Wattisham but haven’t a clue where they were heading or their IDs.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Re: Glasgow - COP26 / UN Conference
I have heard the Aussie PM has confirmed he is now attending and I have also read elsewhere up to 100 heads of state are planning on attending too at some stage, though as the event is over a couple of weeks and of course some will come on commercial flights.
