spanna Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 One of the two Sea Lynx's that were buzzing around. ( I think they were looking for Al quaeda? ) If you zoom in you can see the pilot looking straight at me! I think he thought me lens was an rpg or something .

Agreed, and the traffic was far worse up Onchan Head too !! I was one such 'starved of entertainment' and ventured up to Douglas Head this evening. I sharpish turned around and got back down onto the prom as it was diabolical up there, with more cars coming back down than seemingly going up (presumably because it was full). It was quite a sight to see the Ark Royal apparently racing with the Steammie, but not really worth the bother. It would have been good if the Steammie and AR had hooted in acknowledgement of each other though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbms Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Was that it, I though someone had repainted that Stenna cargo ship grey and added a top deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
