Sunday 1st Feb.
I went out for a walk this afternoon – about 3pm to 5pm. It was beautiful clear, sunny weather, though cold and windy. As I went on my way, something began to dawn on me.
I had not seen or heard a single aircraft in the sky, which was clear from horizon to horizon. No vapour trails from high-flying airliners. No light planes from flying clubs, no helicopters, nothing. So I made a point for the rest of my walk of trying to spot any planes or vapour trails. Not one!
I’m in the Somerset/Wiltshire border area and there are always planes about, even on a winter Sunday afternoon. Airliners fly over on regular flightpaths for a start, and there are several flying clubs in the area.
This seemed so spooky I wondered whether something was going on that caused all flights to be grounded. When I turned on the TV news there was nothing to suggest this and the travel teletext was listing lots of incoming flights. It’s now 11pm, 6 hours on, and I still haven’t heard a single aircraft fly over.Perhaps its a weather thing preventing vapour trails and an inversion layer cutting the noise down
Possibly. I think maybe a lot of flights from Europe had been cancelled because of the weather yesterday but it’s odd that I didn’t see a single plane – high-flying, low-flying, big or small, fixed wing or helicopter whan normally I’d see perhaps 30 or 40 in 2 hours.

I had not seen or heard a single aircraft in the sky, which was clear from horizon to horizon. (Maybe Easyjet were on strike) No vapour trails from high-flying airliners. No light planes from flying clubs, no helicopters, ufo’s, biker mice from mars. So I made a point for the rest of my walk of trying to spot any planes or vapour trails. Not one! Not two, but three banannnnnaaaaa.. (Beetlejuice)I’m in the Somerset/Wiltshire border area and there are always planes about, even on a winter Sunday afternoon. The worzels are drinking cider, and revving up their Combine Harverster Airliners fly over on regular flightpaths for a start, and there are several flying clubs in the area.
This seemed so spooky (So i thought about ringing Derek Acorah) I wondered whether something was going on that caused all flights to be grounded.(Like Richard Branson getting moddy, and taking his planes home) When I turned on the TV news there was nothing to suggest this and the travel teletext was listing lots of incoming flights. (That’s right, Teletext, yes, it’s still around) It’s now 11pm, 6 hours on, and I still haven’t heard a single aircraft fly over.Can you tell us whether there will be trains tommorow? :lol:
