They're very thorough. They even set up the 60mph limit on the runway. I hope they remember to remove it or the planes are going to have a problem taking off.

I saw one of these in Gloucester this morning. The funky wing mirrors look very odd, like the mirror has fallen off. Aside from that, very stealthy.

This blokes car also has the virtual mirrors - I mentioned before how quiet these cars are at speed - you’ll notice the tyre roar and wind noise don’t really get much louder as the speed piles on.

So most of the sensation isn't there, so you wouldn't even bother.

A 60mph limit is already in force at the airfield. New govt initiative.

We all know speed kills - the new 60 limit is expected to vastly decrease the number of planes that will subsequently fall out of the sky.

Side benefits include reduction in noise pollution and carbon emissions. Greta approved.

I assumed perimeter road and landing lights. mik helping a southerner though, you'll no catch me out with that.


I think many lorries now have teh funky mirrors-not-mirrors now.
