I thought I heard a whine of a 707 engine come over today. Didn't this one come in around the same time last year.

Not sure of it's arrival date last year but it departed on 10th Sept 2009.

Found this video might be of interest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_O_94zj ... re=related" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
