    Carriers can't get that far up, they normally stop down in Wallsend. You're thinking of DD/FFs that stop up at Spillers Quay just down from the Pitcher and Piano and just up from the RMR Unit.

    Just asked my outlaws - nothing see, even on Look North. Lusty has been on Ex with Teeny Weeny Airways off the NE of Scotland, could be she's putting in for a quick bottle of dog.
