Hi everybody! This is our first posting and want to say a big hello to everybody! A lot of you will know us personally and if you don't you will certainly have heard of us. If you don't know us or have not heard of us, why not? Next time you are in the area come and say hello. I must say some of the content on these forums is excellent and I'm especially impressed with beemers photographs. Wow! We at Merseyflight do have a bit of an advantage when it comes to aerial photographs, in that we are airborne everyday of the week and that makes it so much easier to get those unique photos. We hope you like them as we post them in the coming weeks and months. If you can't wait and want a bit of a taster please visit our facebook page www.facebook.com/merseyflight Why not become a fan and keep right up to date with Merseyflight and General Aviation at Liverpool Airport. Anyway time for another departure, this early morning stuff is not good!

G-FIGA in it's old colours. (We do think that beemers photograph of G-FIGA in it's new colours is better) What do you think? Attachments:

Will the 'Super Moon' cause climate chaos?
Tomorrow evening, the moon will make its closest approach to Earth in almost 20 years. Some fret that earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other disasters will follow.
On March 19th, the moon will travel as close to earth as it's been in nearly 20 years, alarming astrologers if not the scientific world.
Keep your eyes on the night sky on March 19, also known as the evening of the extreme Super Moon, when the lunar sphere comes as close as it ever has, or will, to Earth. Some believe the astronomical event will be followed by catastrophic storms, earthquakes and other natural disasters. Here's why:
What exactly is a "Super Moon"?
The term refers to the unusually large new (or full) moon that earthlings see when the moon travels almost as close as it can to Earth. An "extreme Super Moon" occurs when the moon reaches its absolute closest point. On March 19, the moon will be only 221,556 miles away — the first extreme Super Moon in nearly 20 years.
Should we be concerned? Those who believe in horoscopes might be. Some astrologers (not astronomers) say this natural wonder signals the beginning of a "moonageddon," coinciding with enormous storms, earthquakes and floods. Kit Karson at Psychic Cosmos further predicts that the financial markets could collapse as prices surge into "panic mode."
Those of you that are flying the best time is early evening. The forecast is looking good so fingers crossed you will get a fantastic view.

If anybody is wondering where G-AVGI is, it is on it's Annual Inspection. Engineers say it will be about 3 weeks. Do we believe them? Watch this space!
