@ShanieTX My home line has been out since yesterday. Holidays don't make money so they schedule downtime on them. :P Get home safe! <3 in reply to ShanieTX 02:29:03, 2013-03-31

@ZeroShiBlue You look like the queen of a band of post-apocalyptic road-warriors. Stunning. <3 in reply to ZeroShiBlue 01:52:10, 2013-03-29
Though it might have been a police helicopter, but no it's definitely a fixed-wing aircraft. Been going back & forth overhead for last hour! 01:56:16, 2013-03-29
Hard to tell at night but looks like it might be the twin-engine traffic spotter aircraft we see sometimes. What's it doing out at 2am tho? 01:57:14, 2013-03-29

It flew over again a few minutes ago. Watched it head off into distance. Is going back & forth east to west, can see it coming back again 02:05:36, 2013-03-29
Looks like it's circling over Epping forest now. Could be traffic I suppose. Not as dramatic tho. Oh well, bed. Freezing outside. 02:16:09, 2013-03-29
@ZeroShiBlue Well done Grommit. in reply to ZeroShiBlue 02:16:19, 2013-03-29
Fuckbadgers, it just went overhead again. 0219.30s About 100 meters further south I'd guess. 02:20:08, 2013-03-29
It's either hoping back and forth between the A104 and the A406 or it's flying a recon pattern. 0222 and it's back east again. 02:22:24, 2013-03-29
Not noticeably further south this time though. 02:23:29, 2013-03-29
Christ it just went past again, going south-north this time. Please don't let it be doing a full grid-pattern search. 02:32:26, 2013-03-29

Apparently there was a big car-crash on the motorway last night which was the probable cause of the overhead aircraft. 17:54:21, 2013-03-29
Apparently a drunk ran from the police and crashed his car, killing both of his passengers but not himself. 17:55:00, 2013-03-29
