| Reluctant as I am to challenge Richard, I believe that the Heathrow webtrak DOES show flights through the Heathrow area. I would have therefore expected to have seen the track of any such flyby to have been shown, particularly as it seems to have been low enough to cause people to take specific note of it. I also have to query that the flight paths shown on Webtrak to be a little too perfect to be actual representations of the various aircraft flight paths. I fail to see the use of such a system if it does not accurately portray the flights over us. I know that the JFK flight paths are shown almost in 'real time' and not 2 days later, so I feel that to cite Terrorism as a valid reason for this delay is also a bit glib. I accept that the JFK tracks are approximations, they are too jerky to be correct, but they show helicopter and light aircraft passing through as well as JFK traffic. Either we have a system that is regarded as accurate or we all accept that it is NOT showing the real thing, therefore what is the use of Webtrak? Do BAA really expect us to believe that what the original post described did not happen? A stealth aircraft? Doesn't it worry BAA that what was seen, they say there is no record of it? How can that be?? We are on the edge of Westminster and Buck House so surely the airspace here has to be monitored? Perhaps Gordon Brown has been visited by actual aliens and it was actually a UFO!!?? |
