But you'll have died from asphyxiation because of it being four wheel drive of course.

You should come down here mate- I can see that many when it's cloudy!!
There are five distinct 'streams' of aircraft above our village:
1) 30,000 feet heading from North to South (usually 3 to 5 aircraft in this line) probably all headed for Heathrow/Gatwick.
2) 20,000 feet heading from Northwest to Southeast (usually 1 or 2 visible in this stream) heading for Luton/Stanstead or the Europe.
3) 10,000 feet heading from West to East planes coming from East Midlands & Birmingham heading out to Europe (ones & twos only).
4) 5000 feet heading from East to West- planes landing into Birmingham & Coventy airports (strangely they arrive in 'waves' typically five planes in a 10 minute slot then there is nothing for half an hour....(I figure it must be something to do with how Birmingham manage the inbound flights?)).
5) 0-5000 feet planes heading from North to South taking off from Coventry (about one flight every half hour thundering over the house roof!) these must be slotted into the gaps of stream 4) to avoid mid air collision (there have been near misses reportedly).
Now I'm not a plane spotter- but I find it fascinating to watch all this nightime activity while having a beer in the garden after a barbeque!
Garin:
The government want more of your hard earned cash and will only introduce so called green taxes on things they know we will not give up, if the government was serious about reducing flights it would not have approved airport expansion, there are lots of things that could be introduced to reduce carbon emissions but these would invole less tax being collected
