Silly question potentially, but I don’t usually track what time it gets dark, will a potential 8:30/8:40 ETA be too dark?

In relation to it landing at the 'wrong' end. I know there were taxi way considerations, but wether or not that was the case, I'm sure a car parks worth of moronically parked cars on the verges and hanging out in the road, between the warning lights and under the flight path, didn't help the case either. Next time please park in the village like the few considerate people that did and we'll have less chance of being stopped parking anywhere along Station Road in the future, and a higher chance of last nights disappointment maybe not happening again - wether it was to do with taxi way convenience or not. Thanks.

Well, Al Assad Airbase (ORAA) but I guess Baghdad is close enough... been and gone, currently in Tbilisi

I don't know if anyone saw what was loaded but in the evening before it landed I saw a huge airport tug on a low loader heading South on the M5 near Gloucester.

I wondered if this might have been its load...
