Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) Smog is one thing, John, but what about common or garden fogs? They seem quite rare nowadays, at least compared with when I used to cycle to school in North Kent about 50 years ago. ![]() But with about one aircraft movement per hour (or whatever) at Heathrow in those days, there would not have been much disruption - just whip the passengers off to the Savoy overnight and keep them happy.

One aircraft in particular that I remember seeing there was the Boeing Stratocruiser. This was a double-decker with seating for up to a hundred with the lower deck consisting of a bar and lounge, connected to the upper deck via a spiral staircase. http://www.aviation-history.com/boeing/377.html -- Graham Davis, Bracknell It was raining cats and dogs and I fell in a poodle.
